[2x01] Regional Holiday Music, mostly Glee icons for a secret santa exchange and other random challenge icons some of which actually were made in 2011 though I'm unsure which year any icon falls into. It's possible that almost all of them were made in 2011.

I totally see what you mean about you working around the same ideas but with greatly improved methods. Your crops are so much stronger now, and they get better with each passing post! Your lighting is exquisite, too. I still remember you giving me a tip on lighting B/W icons early last year, and I need to try it out some more cuz that's one of the major areas that I really wanna concentrate on in 2013.
Lol, I don't remember that at all! What was the tip?
Also, thinking back to my icons always I've stuck to some of the same ideas, give or take whatever the trends of the times were. I posted a progression meme here in 2011 and if I remade some of those from ~2006 on, they would probably end up similar stylistically, just better. I tend to think that I don't have a style of my own, but idk maybe I do? idk.
I'm such a numbnut. I just realized it was far_to_nowhere that gave me the lighting tip in her Sons of Anarchy post, not you. My bad! :P
I love that you keep things subtle and clean. That, to me, is what I see as your style. Restraint is not an easy thing to show in icons (well, for me at least), so to see that someone can make something beautiful without it having to be complicated or crazy is really cool.
Meg, I can really see you striving to get better with each icon post! Your cropping is still gorgeous, but I've definitely noticed your bolder coloring, composition work, and most importantly (for me anyway because I love text) your text work. I've noticed that each battle you take part in and icon you make is an opportunity for you to try new things and see what works for you. The learning process is evident in your icons and I hope you keep testing things out.
