Sunset Icons
I made icons today. This is a new thing for me...and proof of the lengths I will go to in doing anything but revision.
I read a few tutorials, but any advice from people who actually know how to make pretty icons would be very welcome. I'm particularly wondering: do people usually upload the images straight onto livejournal or save them on photobucket or somewhere first? And which is better for preserving the image quality?
Not that I see myself spending more time on icons than fic anytime in the future. Speaking of which, I'm working on a very crossed-over crossover and a Lavender Brown story at the moment, as well as Weasley Fest and some Slytherin-love stories. You know, alongside that revision.
