coffee, tea, food, tulips, nature, sea life, yoga, dance, music, archaeology, canada, science & technology, amusing road signs + jane austen, molly ivins, and richard dawkins

A long, long time ago I raided the interest lists of the tiny number of people following this comm in hopes of finding inspiration for new icons. I'm nothing if not slow so two years later, here is my first foray into stock icons (and a couple random people). If you've been watching this comm since sometime in early 2008, you might see an interest or three of yours in this group. :)

Awww, you're too sweet! It's been so long since I made an icon (or anything creative, really) that I'm not even sure I remember how to do it... ;-)

*loves madly*

:( I get losing momentum when you drift out of a visual fandom; I've spent the past year doing almost no icon-making. I hope a fandom will grab you soon because I really miss seeing your icons. I tried my hand recently at QaF icons (I blame it on withdrawal; I wouldn't have needed to if you were still iconning) and I have 100 times more respect than before for your icons. I had a handful of questionable quality caps but those colors are damned difficult. No, they're impossible. One of these days I'll have to track down some better quality caps and see if that helps but it seems to be a QaF style to be outside the color box.

Eh, making the screencaps (and finding the right one for the icons) was basically 80% of my ico-making job. It was so damn time consuming that I honestly don't think I'll be able to get *that* crazy again... ;-)

I don't think I could ever make an icon from someone else's screencap and that's why I don't know if I'll ever find the time (and passion) to work on icons again. *sigh*

Whereas I can't imagine using the caps that I make! I've tried capping and I end up with annoyingly blurry cap after annoyingly blurry cap. *stares at your icon* You sincerely underestimate the importance of your cropping and other mad skillz. I'm very sorry that you're burned out on making icons but I do understand it.
