Ok, on a further note I am looking to start a community of my own and I need one or two people to join me as the saying goes; the more the merrier. I haven't made any big icon batches in a while but I'll definitely be doing it more when I get a community up and running and also there will be many more tutorials. I have created a public entry in my journal HERE which includes my best tutorials from recent times. I've been making graphics for a while now and I think it's time to "settle down" as it were. So if you share my love for graphics and pretty colourings then send me a comment at my LJ ^^ pretty much anyone is welcome as long as you know what you're doing. I don't bite.
