ooh gosh i LOVE that Sansa icon in your top five! And #2 is amazing, that's such a nice and unique crop!

And oh man, I feel you on having trouble with text and composition; those have always been my weak points as well.

I wish that I could get better at text! I just am in awe when I see amazing text!

Thank you so much, I loved that second icon and how it came out! Thank you

Sure! Though, I have to warn you, my personal journal is on permanent hiatus because apparently keeping up with an actually blog (instead of goofing around on tumblr) is too much responsibility for me, haha. But I do comment on other people's blogs a lot!

I am completely the same way. I use to be so good at updating and then things happened!
I will add you now :D

You've only been at icon making for two years? This feels like entirely new information to me! I guess I thought you'd been at it longer, given that you host those fantastic battles all the time!

I have so much love for that second icon of yours. It's just such an incredibly gorgeous everything.

Annnnnd, can I give you five themes to challenge yourself?
Blending | Blocking | Geometric Shapes | Text inspired by this guide | Text inspired by this guide.

OMG, those are amazing guides! I have not read them but now will favor them to read over and over again! Thank you! I will work on those five challenges you've given me (and they are challenges, lol).

I started about two years ago so I could enter challenges. I had no idea what I was doing and literally read every tutorial I could come across. It's how I learned about aspect ratio, pixels etc.

Thank you!!!

YAY! Tutorial sharing success is the BEST kind of success! Now I am uber excited for the icons :)

Haha. I definitely attribute my desire to enter challenges as one reason for my own improvement. But yeah, like I said, very shocked by this information, but in a good way.

You are pure light, my dear. Truly you are. I effing LOVE the crop in that first Top 5 icon. Holy WOW.

Here are themes to interpret as you wish: friction / solidarity / brilliance / chaos / redemption
