500 Days of Summer

I decided to try again and make icons yesterday. Every time I try, I have absolutely not imagination and I give up because I can't make one decent icon. Yesterday I didn't let that bother me and made the icons anyway. I think I even like two of them (meaning I think if I saw them somewhere I'd take them and use them). But I can never be sure.

Yes I used two and saved 10/15. Now that bodes well for your skills doesn't it? I do that, I save multiple icons from a maker even if I only use two out of it. I'm bound to get bored sometime and then I can replace the old ones with a new one from the batch. Is that weird?

Anyway seeing your icons makes me want to go watch the movie even more now. I would never ignore a post of yours (or Shanti's) just because I disagree of don't like something. NEVER. I'd still read and give my two cents. I like that we have like 85% or less(?) of things in common but the other 15% or more (?) I also love because I learn from them and I grow and broaden my horizons from that knowledge.

Okay back to the subject at hand, your icons. I've left my critics on the reply below so I won't re-write them here. I already exceeded 4300 words down there :p

SALOME YOUR ICONS ARE AWESOME,
Oh, I TOTALLY SAID THAT ;D

I remember that collage and I think I made a comment about that box as well. Constructive criticism is great and should always be welcomed. I know you love that (me too) otherwise what's the point? Then you're just making things for yourself then so might as well not share it. I don't know if I'm making sense I'm tired and it's time for bed, lol.

That's a perfect example of what I just said in the previous comment, I am completely agreeing with you and I don't know if that makes us not weird or both weird.

:) Yes, my ego thanks you for the icons saving and also taking the time to comment (and so much)

I wonder how much time people spend on one icon ? (I mean, good icon makers). Is it around 10 minutes, 20, 40 an hour ? what do you think ? Because it also seems frustrating to spend half an hour or an hour on something SO small ?
