* more quantity, I wanted to post more often. I'll call this a half pass because when i made this promise I hadn't posted at all for months. This year I've been making icons at a slooow yet steady pace and that's fine to me. It's still not a lot of icons, but I had other important things to focus on so it's ok.
* Finish my texture randomizer and share it with others. omg, I actually just remembered about this a few days ago and tried to continue working on the tool but ran into some compatibility issues with the old code and my updated development tools so ehh .__. I'll continue sometime next year, I guess. But hopefully I really can share this program at some point. It does function pretty well already but the usability is crap so I need to make some changes.
* Being more ambitious, but this was kinda vague. I'm always ambitious so idk if I was more of that this year than last?? but this bit of the description: icons that tell stories/relate to something specific in the fandom is where I passed pretty well

On the one hand, I'm like "You do your real life thing! That's cool! Real life is important, and it sounds like yours is boss! What a good!! <3" but on the other hand, "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut j_s icons are the best, and I want things that aren't Lost sometimes so I can shove them into my user pics where they belong, dang it!!". There's such conflict there, tbh. XD
aw, I have to admit the things I want to spend more time with are even less real-lifey than icons, but they're things I enjoy so yeah. I really don't want to disappoint anyone and definitely not you ;__; ♥ buuut I just wish I could still have that passion for subjects other than lost. it's just, every show has felt uninspiring and disappinting after I finished lost. Maaaybe if I find a good substitute for it next year. But I kinda doubt it because watching tv is definitely also among the list of things I want to spend less time on, sooo... don't hate me :c :c
(that being said, on christmas I got this weird craving to suddenly rewatch all the Faith episodes of BTVS. I'd love to make a few icons of her but I didn't even try knowing the btvs cap quality. It's kinda like Farscape, love the show but can't do anything with the caps...)
Tbh I'll be selfishly happy if we get a few icons from you every once in a while <333 I'd miss your work so much if you stopped BUT rl is so important so don't feel guilty/like you have obligations if you can't make time for icons!
My unofficial resolution last year was to stop running away from text icons so I've certainly started to do that now :D
For 2015, my icon resolutions are: - keep making text icons - make more icons that aren't a centre crop with negative space and a decorative accent (because 99% of mine seem to be that at the moment) - just be more adventurous in general
TEXT. I thought text and I would be mortal enemies until the end of days but now it's one of my favourite things! Also yay for being adventurous, although centre crop + negative space always make for pretty icons so I don't see anything wrong with that :)
That counts as a really good resolution tbh. I'd absolutely love to see your lovely work halfway regularly so I definitely root for you to achieve this resolution! :)
