No, I am *not* fishing for compliments...

...but I am just going to say that my new icon is the very first ever icon I made in Paint! (I usually just play with text color/arrangements in Powerpoint

I do not like the Paint on my computer, either. It has virtually no capabilities. And I hate that I have to throw in percentages to shrink an image instead of being able to click and drag the edges. Sorry, no tips here, just commiserating. I can't even remember how I used to make my icons. There was an invisible text bar, though, I know that! So you can add in words. Took forever to get the font/color/size right so that it was legible, though. Yours turned out well!

Yeah, I thought the wings were the arms until I looked at the actual statue itself.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how to shrink the picture...it was gigantic!!! barely saw 1/6th of the pic on the page at one time.
Hahaha, I hand-wrote the words with the pencil tool....that took a loooooong time. And then I had to redo for spacing issues...

Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't even really notice until I looked at the pictures on the computer...

You hand-wrote the letters? Yegads! *respect instantly doubled*

[blck_phnx]

Yeah, it took forever. I don't recall seeing the old text button...but, then, I may have just overlooked it, since I rarely used it back in the day...

Looks good! I like it. I have no Paint tips, I just fool around with all the buttons. :D

Very interesting observations. It's amazing how can object or even a person can change depending on the angle and the lighting.

Thanks. ^_^
Ah, I see. Well...I guess I need to learn to hit the right buttons while playing around...

Yup. Perspective means a lot.
