time to reflect.

since I make icons, i don't usually/ever post memes in my lj. but  pixiegirl131415 just recently suggested one that's very related. i've only been posting icons for about seven months, but i think my work's improved enough that some reflection could be fun...

Lol, it's funny to look back on where you started, isn't it? I love all the Horrible icons, they are definately my favorite, though Dorthy and the sky comes a close second. And nice use of polaroid texture. :)

thank you! it is funny to look back. i mean, i remember i was so excited when i first found polaroid brushes, but i think that icon is the only one i've made with them i really like, and i'm still not positive why that is.

Poleroids are hard to get to look good, especially in something as small as an icon. They usually take up most of the space allotted. I've used them in banners before, but for everything else, it's just too hard!

oooh, a polaroid banner? now that's an idea... *goes off to look at your icon journal* ; )

[pixiegirl131415]

lol, not on mine. I used the idea for a banner contest, and it's now the banner for disney_rumble! You can go look there if you want to see it. :)
