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

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

It's so great to see you back! :)
And I would have never guessed you hadn't opened Photoshop in so long by looking at these! I love your text in all of these and the way you use textures and composition is incredible! Besides, I can't stop staring at 11..love the crop and coloring! Seriously, these are amazing..you came back with a bang ;)

THANK YOU! I can't believe what warm and sweet comments I've already received about this set. Text is a major source of iconizing frustration for me, so it's incredibly rewarding to hear positive feedback about it! I was nervous about the text in 11 particularly, so it's amazing to know you like it! Seriously, thank you for being so encouraging and taking time to leave a comment! <3

You're very welcome!
Commenting here was my pleasure :)

You've just reminded me again why I loved the iconmaking community for so many years and why I wanted to return! :D

[bangel_4e]

Aww, that's so nice!

I see you're still running some icontests, like guesswho20in20. That's awesome! I may have to sign up sometime so I can go back to working with celeb photoshoots! :D

[bangel_4e]

Yeah, I still am! Though not on a regular basis, that community has a veeery loose schedule :)
That would be awesome!

[library_of_sex]

That sounds similar to my likely iconning schedule this year: veeery loose. Looking forward to whatever themes and celebs you throw at the comm soon! :D

Mine as well (icon-making related). Sure, I hope to see you there :)
