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.

I totally understand the whole insecure feeling. My school life helped me out with that one too. From the age of about 12 or 13 I kind of became separated from the main crowd and was picked on for being any kind of different. ;)

I am only doing the one LIMS challenge at the moment and that's the Firefly one. I feel like I struggle with the pictures each time and get really nervous when it comes to voting.
Actually, I think the hardest bit is finding reasons to vote other icons out. I am bad at that!!

Thank you for the compliment about my icons too. ;) And I'm glad Violation has come in useful!!
