A basic truth: can't have a second post without a first post.
Some other basics:
comments are lovely things. as are friends, crediting my icons (required), and not hotlinking. Textless icons may be used as bases, but credit and tell me first (via comments, etc.).
For more about me and more icons, see after the cut.
types of icons: BtVS, phantom of the opera, Disney's Cinderella, Hairspray, Firefly
(As an lj newbie, I'm definetly doing things wrong, but hopefully I'll figure out proper formatting soon enough.) ; )
I started experimenting with screencaps/trying to make icons about six months ago. The work (and resources, see below) of lj users has been great inspiration. My journal will mostly be icons. Feedback on my work is much appreciated, and I will be taking requests from any of the fandoms listed in my interests/fandoms I post icons for. Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy the stuff.
