I would have gotten these done sooner, but I wasn't satisfied with the way they were looking I was the same way with my set on my second half, I kept going through different icons that I would make and like 1 on my first half. Snagging the Gold Glitter animated second icon, I just LOVE that quote., will credit when used. :)

Lovely icon set. I don't think their is one I don't dislike to be honest. I especially love the coloring on Levels, Small and Big Text and Summer Colors. Texturize looks great. :) I had a hard time with Points of Light on my set as well, not even sure if I still got it right lol. I tried a few icons till I settled on one with that.

I WISH I could do coloring like that, but never found a good tutorial I can follow. I usually do good on tutorials that have step by step with textures provided or samples lol. Oh not sure if you read all the rules on the themes, but animation is allowed in the main set. :)

Thank you for participating and good luck! :)

I'm glad you liked them! ^^

I really enjoyed making the animated ones. I thought about using them for the main but must've misread the rules. I might have to enter some animated icons next time! ^^

I know what you mean about tutorials. I like tutorials that show what each step looks like and the textures used. It's a lot harder to find tutorials now though because of the mess with Photobucket and TinyPic. TT-TT I went back and fixed all of my tutorials because of it. XD

Very much. I wish I could make icons like this.

You could of, so sorry I tend to use my old coding table source and I forgot to update it since we changed the rules after the community voted and I just now realized that I forgot to change that part about animation, but it is updated.

Yup, those type help me so much. Yeah I freaking hate photobucket and tinypic for ruining some of my favorite tutorials i had saved. Nice, I wish some would do that. I'll have to check your's out again once I buy a new program. Do you by any chance have any tutorials for the coloring in Levels, Small and Big Text or Summer Colors?

I could probably throw together tutorials for all three. I'm working on a research project that's due by Monday, but I think I could probably get one up over the weekend possibly. Only some of the steps are Photoshop-specific but could possibly substituted for something else. I used to have a free copy of Paint Shop Pro X, but it doesn't work anymore, otherwise I'd see if I could substitute some of the steps

These are so beautiful & stunning! The colouring, levels and text compositions are great! My favs are: Obstruct, Levels, Small & Big Text, Pattern, Floating, and Overlay :)

D'awww! Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I'm so glad you liked them!

I wasn't really sure if my experiments with the painted look turned out right, and I've always thought that I wasn't very good with text. XD

Thanks again! ^^

I adore the levels icon you made!Obstruct is a great icon.Love the floating and pan up to the sky(the alt of it too,especially the alt)
Small+big text came out lovely! The pattern one-cuuute and the points of light is so sweet! Close crop-whoa!Love the intensity of his expression with the colouring!
I love the text in overlay of your alt!:D Also the face only alt-prettttyy!

D'awwwwww!!!!! I'm soooooo glad you liked them!

Lol about the alt overlay. I almost put that one in, but then I felt like the focus was more on the text and less on the overlay, lol! And close-crop turned out better than I expected! I wasn't quite sure about the cropping on the face only alt, so I'm glad you liked it! ^^

I definitely had fun with these even if it did take me a while! ^^

D'awwww! Thank you for your lovely comments! ^^

Lol, about points of light! I'm usually pretty good with it, but for some reason, it wasn't working. I really like making my icons have a shiny look, but this time I was really trying to do a pastel or painted look. So I guess it threw me off balance, lol!

But I'm soooooo glad you enjoyed them!
