098: i'm prepared for this / i never shoot to miss

Feb 16, 2016 07:59

Up until this past January, it had been over 1.5 years since I opened Photoshop. I tried to enter the inaugural round at 20muses, but I just got so frustrated making icons that I had to stop. Plus, grad school really began kicking my ass, which didn't help matters at all. But now, I'm halfway through my winter quarter and miserable as fuck, so iconmaking has once again become an alluring siren that beckons me to put off the stressful and boring stuff for days hours at a time, which is exactly how I've managed to finish my batch for 20muses this month!

As is par for the course, I'm fluctuating between liking and hating my stuff. I think it looks pretty much the same as my old work, which makes sense cuz I haven't practiced since sometime in '14. I basically had to re-learn how to do even the most basic shit, like cropping down to 100x100, y'all! It probably shows, too, so I'm super curious to know what others think, good or bad. As has always been the case, any feedback or constructive criticism is likely to be rather eye-opening and most definitely appreciated, so please share your thoughts! :D

I dedicate this post to vetica, who I know is also trying to get back into the game but was having a tough time working with caps. That's basically the story of my life cuz I will always suck at coloring. Hope you finish your set, Jorgen, cuz I'm sure lots of people are excited to see it!
