I'm really working on various styles and such for icons, and as you can see... I have no real style laid out. Everything's different, and I can't quite figure out what I like. Let me know what you think!

omg, that means so much. Haha, I seriously... probably worked harder on these than I ever have, and I felt like the outcome was some of the best icons I've made, so seriously, squee! Thank you!

Omg, how I love this woman! And it's such a coincidence because just yesterday I've watched Practical Magic :D.
In my opinion it is good that you try different styles and you don't do all icons in similar way :). I think that it's okay to make one set similar - like e.g. Category icons or AC but it's simply boring when someone makes all icons in the same style. For me it's always great to try something new - some new colors or techniques :). I've only noticed one thing - you save your icons as .jpg and it's much better to save them as .png files. My friend told me about it some time ago because when you save as .jpg the quality sometimes gets worse and now I can see that it's true! So I tought you can also try it :).
And to the icons - I really like them!! Especially all themes ^_^. I love tagline, heroine (this one makes me lol ^^), border, loud, transportation and devastated :D. Also Category #5 and AC #2, 3 and 5. I saved a few and will credit you when I'll use them =D. So thank you! :D

haha, yay, another fan! Practical Magic is a wonderful movie!

I do save them as .jpg, and you make a really good point. I know it's true, because I make some bigger pictures, and sometimes the text looks really funny. You'd think I'd save them as .png. My excuse: laziness! xD I always just type the file name, tab, and hit "J" then "enter" and it's done, but if I do it that way I have to tap the "P" key eight whole times to get it to .png. *melodramatic flail* Yes, I am THAT lazy and stuck in my ways. But I definitely agree with you there!

Thanks so much for your nice comment. Makes my day that you like so many of them! 8D

Yes, it is! I re-watched it because I'm gonna do icons from it for other 20 challenge :D. And I don't know how someone can not like Sandra :D. She's gorgeous and she's an amazing actress ♥.
Wow, eight times - I guess I'd capitulate then too :D. I think for me now it's already a habit but it seems worth when I look at me earlier icons ^^.
And you're very welcome - those icons are really lovely, I had to snag some! :D

Great work as always. I wish I could make those myself. I'll credit if I use any. Thanks for sharing.
