A quandary I find myself in
I greatly enjoy making icons. I also enjoy seeing people using my icons...however...when people use the icons I also use, I find myself being confused for a couple of seconds and thinking I posted something I didn't post. So, this leads me to ponder, should I release the ones I use and really like or should I keep them for myself?
For example, the icon I am currently using. I really like it, I am actually contemplating making it my default one. Which, makes me wonder, should I post it for other people to use? I mean, on the one hand, I think it's good and I get this little thrill whenever I see someone use an icon I made. Makes me giddy with glee. On the other hand I dislike being confused. I just don't know.
No matter what I decide, I certainly won't ask anyone who has taken any of the icons I've already released to stop using them. It wouldn't be right. I posted it and said people could use it so I can't change my mind. Especially since I'm not really using many of the other icons I made.
Hmm, I would like people to know it is me when I post, so I think I will keep a few for my own use only. However, I'll make sure there are plenty of other really good ones. In that case, I might need to make more icons of Gil. I wonder how many of Gil I have anyway. Hmm, I have something like 11 unreleased icons of Gil, and of those I think I'll keep 4 as I seem to be consistently using them.
Maybe I should write on the ones I want to keep...so that others can have them but the writing will make them different. Eh, only if I can think of anything to write.
Honestly, I don't know why I'm worried about this. I have something like 80 icons to release, if I want to keep 4 for myself I should. It's not like there aren't any other good icons in the bunch.
Ok that settles it. I will post all but the 4 I'm using. On Friday. Unless I change my mind.
EDIT: Excellent...I've been going through the Girl Genius archives and have found some very good Gil pictures. This means, I can post some good icons of Gil without posting the ones I personally want to use. That makes me very happy.
