2011 in icons
I know that's been a week since 2012 started but it's not too late yet:P
I've seen so many awesome progress posts that I got curious about what happened to me as an iconmaker this year. let's see:)
2011 in iconsfrom

JANUARY
I began 2011 with Disney icons and then I got accepted to 20inspirations and at the same time my HP obsession started. I also was fiercely obsessed with textures trying to be oh so creative. saxify put it perfectly - 'USE ALL THE TEXTURES!' :D
FEBRUARY
i made a batch of request icons and my 2nd claim for 20inspirations - fringe se02
MARCH
not much stuff here, just some random icons for challenges
APRIL
I made a 'disney animals' claim @ disney100 with hopeitallaway. we didn't make it in time but i finished the icons eventually. I also entered round2 @ turbo_rumble. it was awesome.
MAY
just a few icons here, mostly HP and Skins
JUNE
i made quite a lot of stuff for tumblr and then turned it into icons. + a Skins gen1 claim for a minimalistic round @ 20inspirations
JULY
my first Doctor Who icon, woot woot:D also more randomness, HP and round#3 for turbo_rumble
AUGUST
an awesome secret battle which was held by mm3butterfly @ iconsecrets. I was sorted in the skins/misfits group and battled with fuuurs and haughtymelodic. then some ~experimenting:P
SEPTEMBER
two of my favorite icon things in 2011: round#4 'rainbow and bw' for turbo_rumble and round#10 'epitome' @ 20inspirations
OCTOBER
round#11 'music' for 20inspirations (olivia dunham) and ~others
NOVEMBER
request icons and random. doctor who se05 icons for round#12 'light vs dark' @ 20inspirations which I kinda really like. Doctor Who is ♥, obviously
DECEMBER
a battle with my bbs 24_amends and capelle<3 then a fantasy iconbattle for iconbattling (which still needs to be posted here:P) aand an unfinished 'rainbow' claim for 20inspirations. pretty productive month!
I'm really quite satisfied with this year. there is a decent number of icons i love and even which i'm really proud of. that's a good thing i believe:) I don't really see any changes in style (except for my growing love of purple maybe) but more in overall quality and execution. I think my latest icons look more balanced not 'USE ALL THE TECHNIQUES' like I've started:P from the examples it looks like my icons got ~darker, maybe so IDK:P
I also had a hard time choosing the previews, idk if they show off any progress but ok.
the moral of this story is that I'm still far from perfection and I won't stop:D
p.s. I'll be posting new stuff soon, stay tuned!:))
