A mix of some more old icons and new ones. As apparently the old ones weren't posted anywhere yet (judging by them not being uploaded), I could make a few improvements on some. It was interesting to look back at that time (also '07-09) and how my iconmaking was changing to how I do things now: Keeping layers that aren't visible in the finished icon, but are an important step; naming layers after what I've done with them (Holy shit, how had I not done that before?!) or after the maker if it's a texture; erasing oversharpened parts from sharpened layers and showing the unsharpened layer underneath; using Shadows/Highlights instead of Curves.
I even made a more complex icon (#4) back then! #7 is made from a layout I'd made for my old blog. #10: Hey, Sydney was standing in front of monitors, so of course I had to photoshop the cage porn from Lost 3x06 in. #14 (made 3 years ago) was the first Alias icon I had made in 9 years. Only last month did I properly pick up making Alias icons again. And I finally found a way to make a decent icon of Syd's chain swing (see #22), a moment I'd been wanting to icon since forever. \o/

Are FO banners still a thing? Since I've already made it, here it is either way:
