Hmmm. I think the positive comments I receive on my icons give me a false sense of pride. I mean, it's great that people love my icons, and I am so thankful to those people who take the time to look at them and tell me what they think, but at the same time I'm really not that great as icon makers go. I could be SO much better, but I just don't understand how. I'm getting very close to being eliminated in the fandom lims contests I'm in, and I never make it into good_fanicons when I apply. It's like... my style just doesn't jibe with the general perception of what good icons are. At the same time, I sometimes look at icons that are supposedly "amazing" and think they're crap. It's like I'm on a different wavelength from everyone else and I don't know how I ended up here.

Bah.

...Icons that are supposedly "amazing"...

Like those horrid ones where the people's eyes are all uber sharpened and their skin has been blurred like thirteen times too many?

Those creep me out.

I may not comment on your icons, but I do like your style. I stay stick with it. Get 'em out there and start the new trend for "good icons"! ♥

Haha, no I don't mean those, luckily those don't get accepted in the elite comms I don't think... that was a fad among people with little to no talent who found this neat little "trick" that could make things look different. Oy.

(I'm mean sometimes ^_^)

Thanks sweetie. I doubt I'll stop any time soon, as iconning is rather addictive, but it is a bit disheartening at times.
