40 degrees! I mean... 20 icons!

[wapiti_baris]

Right now, it's 35 degrees here, people. And they say it's going to be 40 in a few days! And only last week, it was raining. We saw first rain in May this year, normally it would rain all fall and winter here but this year... *shakes head* One day the sun scorches your skin, and the next, it rains. (A couple weeks ago, it even rained mud here...

A rain of mud? That does sound vaguely apocalyptic.

I love your icon style, particularly 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12 and 13 here, and the humor you incorporate! And I thought your "Breathe" icon should have won at sparrabeth_ic. (I never like the first place winners in these icontests as much as the ones that place below them, for some reason.) Might be snagging some later!

When I saw your reply and since the part of my post was about weather, I was reminded a post by you about a rainstorm some time ago and my reply to it. It was before May, I think. So it did rain here before then. Just not enough to be remembered, I guess :(

Thank you for the feedback! It really helps to know what works and which ones stand out in a batch. I certainly lose the sense of objectivity once I finish an icon (or a vid - anything that I create).

And thanks again for the kind words about the “breathe” icon. It was the first icontest I’ve ever participated and it was a last minute inspiration. I was actually (very pleasantly) surprised that my entry found itself a place among the winners :)

FGT ICONS YAY *claps* it was me who asked you! i'm excited!

Anyway, numbers 2, 12, and 20 are fantastic, so I'm swiping those (with credit, of course) and the Swann icon made me laugh - he's such an adorable old man.

Fantastic job, as always.

dude, and 35 degrees? that makes me hurt inside, really. *sends you balmy SoCal weather*

Oh yes, it was you! Welcome back :) A FGT icon batch is seriously on the way this time. And if I could only stop the urge to try different coloring technics with each icon, maybe I could work faster. But it should be ready in a couple days, I hope.

And thank you, I’m glad you liked the icons :) (Esp. #20. I was thinking of putting a warning there such as: “Object of nausea! Do not stare for a long time!” ^^ Because really, with all the blurring going on in that icon, it surely makes me feel slightly nauseated.)

And yes, 35 degrees and counting. I am so very tempted to move to Siberia. *daydreams* Ooh, Yakutia, in particular. Where I could live happily ever after among shamans while enjoying the very cold weather… On a second thought, though, being used to Mediterreanean climate, I’d probably drop dead in an instant because of the said cold weather the minute I set foot there… hmm.

Heh, sorry about randomness of this post. Once again, thank you for your comments!

Snagged a couple icons! Great work! =D

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :)

Ditto to what you said about Feng. It’s highly unlikely that I’ll make Feng icons with excitement like I made these ones before AWE. And the text on #6 is a quote from Jurassic Park, actually. I started to make that icon and Dennis’ voice didn’t stop echoing in my head. “Ah ah ah, you didn’t say the magic word. Ah ah ah…” ^^

Thank you so much for the feedback! :)
