I'm officially that gnat [Erin] that wouldn't go away. I've also finally created a graphics journal, here at mindsaway.

Hi Erin, I'm sorry for the extreme delay in a response.

I'm afraid its still a NO for me.

You're definitely improving with your main skills, I like the colouring in that blue Hermione icon. As well as Hero, Villain, and C4 in your latest Teen Wolf set. Sometimes your blurry textures can be a little overwhelming, keep an eye on your sharpening as well.

I'm terrible at concrit, but there are some comms around that offer critique.

[ex_anirishl834]

Haha no worries! I've been trying to practice a lot and actually keep getting the same kinds of responses to the blurriness. Do you have any tips for that or know of any tutorials specific to that? I've looked through tutorial lists but they're kind of overwhelming when you don't know exactly what you need.

Thanks for your response!

Hi! My name is Aline, I have been making icons since 2005 but I had to stop for a while because of work. I used to post them at spoony_inc but I'm posting them now at crowdedskies. Concrit is awesome! :)

yes

wow! sorry for the super delayed reply.

I like your cropping and your sharpness is good. i'd love to see more experimentation though

Please wait for nikki!

[all_malocks]

i'm looking forward to the challenges... thanks again!

I'm sorry for the delay!

I'm afraid its a NO for me.
I think you've got the basics down really well, I like what you're working on with your more complex icons.
This is absolutely gorgeous, as is this one.

I'd like to see more from you in a month or so, see how you continue to improve. I'd keep an eye on your sharpening? A lot of your icons seem slightly blurred.

Hi I'm Bri and I post my stuff over at lunaevangeline I started making icons over a year ago but stopped and was making tumblr graphics mostly but started fresh on lj about 2 months ago. Concrit would be wonderful!

[sucksucksmile]

YES

I'll send you an invite in a mo.

I like your more vibrant colourings, sometimes things can seem a little flat and needing contrast (ie. #15, #5)

I like what you're doing with text especially #3, and I think #2 and #4 are gorgeous.
Keep an eye on your sharpening? Sometimes things look blurred, like in #5 and #9.

Looking forward to more work from you!

[stilinskiargent]

Thank you so much!

Hello, I'm Sarah, and I just post my icons at filmesque. I've been making my own icons for four years but I didn't really start until a little over a year ago. Concrit would be appreciated.

YES

I'll send you an invite now!
Sorry for the delay.

I've seen your work over at 7days, you're a really unqiue maker and you have a wide variety of skills.

[filmesque]

Thank you so much! I've seen you on 7days as well & I really love your entries there!
