202 icons~

[universaldogma]

Ummmm... welll... hello. :D

You see, I've been marathoning things like Revenge, and anime. And Let's Plays. And then there was a time when I wasn't in the right mindset for making things. Oh, and sometimes tumblr graphics are more fun. But I got over that. Mostly

Snagging the very first Clara one-I love it!

[universaldogma]

Awww man, you're gonna start seeing my icons start sucking... XD Or maybe my tastes just change too much.

[flowsoffire]

Beg to differ. ;) The Asylum ones blew my mind…

[universaldogma]

... How?

[flowsoffire]

…I don't know? XD The very vivid colours, stunning lightning, the choice of crops? It might sound frustrating if they took less work, idk… I just stopped and went "wow".

[universaldogma]

Huh. They took less work, actually. My mind usually works out ways to crop quite quickly, and I'm super picky with how I crop too. XD But the colouring and that is quite simple... to me, I guess? I'm used to colouring certain ways~ Get into habits and all that.

[flowsoffire]

Yeah, that hadn't occurred to me at first glance, but comparing the two batches, I do see how the more recent ones seem to have more complex effects and all… Different styles, but the simpler ones are still brilliant ;)
Cropping is something I got the hang of rather quickly, too-same with the colouring habits. Sooooo, yes, that would mean it's basics, probably, to you at least. XD

[universaldogma]

Lately I've been going for more of... yeah. XD I've been using other things besides gradients lately too. And this one gradient I made which has an effect I like~ And clouds. Clouds are good too.

I hate it when crops don't work. I mean, yeah, it's okay, but it's not working for me.

[flowsoffire]

All the tools! =) Savvy ftw.

[universaldogma]

Yeah. XD Though I'm really not in a habit for using textures, unless I specifically want it that way, or if I just want to add grunge.

Because grunge is awesome. ♥

*pretends I totally get all the terms*
(I set Gimp to French too, that doesn't help =P Should have known I'd be interacting only with English-speaking icon-makers, lol.)

[universaldogma]

Grunge is like... dirty, you know? Adding textures to make it look dirty or slightly torn or whatever. XD

[flowsoffire]

It sounds like a pretty interesting effect-and it sounds like I really need to discover more of those for myself :D Will get there, I guess… little by little ;)
(I'll stop talking about how little I know of icon-making now, maybe. Talk about self-centred. XD)

[universaldogma]

Yeah, textures are awesome. I collect them, even though I don't use most of them that much...

It's okay. XD

[flowsoffire]

*thumbs up*
'kay, good to hear you don't mind ;)
I love comment-based random chats with people. XD They're just nice. New acquaintances ftw.

[universaldogma]

Me too! :D

I'm gonna go to sleep now, so I'll talk to you later~ &hearts ♥

*hugs*
