An icon maker friending meme!

Hello icon_talk!

Yesterday I made a post here at the community where I asked people to give their opinion regarding how quiet the icon community has become, and the reason why people seem to be leaving LJ. I also asked for suggestions on what we could do to make people more interested and engaged again. An icon maker friending meme was one of the

Haha, I just had only the second part of your comment on my screen while scrolling, and thought, ah, that's someone to friend! And then I scroll further up, and - it's you! *gg*

Anyway. Real reason for this comment: Please, PLEASE give writing tuts a go. Your coloring is so vibrant, I'm sure you could teach people a thing or two! :)

[gallicka]

lol. I'm currently trying to read all the entries from the top. XD

<3<3<3 I saw your post at your comm and came to check this out. :)

Me? Writing a tut? O.O If I don't mess up and getting lost while trying to explain how I work? Sure.. I suppose I can give it a go. I'm kinda messy in my graphic making. XD

<3<3<3

[geckoholic]

Heh, I'm glad I managed to drag you here, and I hope you'll meet some wonderful new people! :)

Ah, me too, and I still managed to churn out a few tutorials. ;) I'm sure you can do it, too! ♥

[gallicka]

Thanks bb. <3 I'm glad I crashed your journal..? Actually.. I don't remember exactly how we 'met'. It was something with Jas... o.O

I think I need to post : has short-term memory in Anything else. XD

[geckoholic]

I added you on Tumblr, and then we decided we need to be friend on LJ, too. ;)

But heh, I don't remember how I met half of the people on my flist. They're there now, and thats what matters. *gg*

[gallicka]

oh yeah! Tumblr! XD Speaking of Tumblr. I need to check your posts. <3 You always got such pretty posts. ♥

[geckoholic]

Heh, nah, I haven't even been on there all day today, execpt for liking a few posts I saw linked on LJ or Twitter. ;) Gotta prepare a new queue, but not today. *gg*

[gallicka]

I'm creeping through your posts anyway. XD

btw.. if I'm making a tut. Which icon should I choose to use?

[geckoholic]

Hehe, feel free. ;)

And, uh. So many to chose from! Either the one you use, this one, or any other H50 icon from that post, really. I LOVE the colors in that post. Or for the coloring of the picspam we're chatting on right now in another tab. *gg*

[gallicka]

ooohhhh. I LOVE the colors in that post

this.. this make me so happy. *g*

Episode 16 was one awesome episode. :3 If you like the coloring of that post, then it's cuz the show was pretty. <3 Mostly, I just crank up the colors of my icons lol.

I'll try make one as soon as I got more time to sort through my layers. XD

[geckoholic]

Just telling the truth. ;)

And, hey, I basically do the same. *gg* But the way we do taht differs for everyone, and that's what makes tuts so interesting, IMO.

YAY! I'm really looking forward to it!

[gallicka]

fuuuuuuuuu no pressures right? lol

H50. ♥_____________♥

Basically I love everything you make, we have a lot in common (99% of what you mentioned :D and especially Merlin, Glee, Supernatural and Doctor Who) and I follow your tumblr (i'm tumsa), love your icons and daily_h50 comm (I SOUND LIKE A STALKER :D), so I could just as well add you. Feel free not to add me back, because I write a lot about my private life (50/50 with fandom stuff) and I know lot of people are not interested in that.

Also, you must write some tutorials, your coloring for Hawaii Five-0 caps and icons are gorgeous. ♥

[gallicka]

fuuuuuuuuuuuu. You sound like me.. I tend to kinda 'stalk' those people I like too. I'm honoured you like my posts. <3

I'm following you on Tumblr too btw. I like your Merlin posts. In fact I just reblog one. I really like your coloring in this pict. <3<3<3

Thank you hon! I'll try to make one, as soon as I got some time. :)
