Texteless icons so beautifully done totally ROCK my world!
And Adrian is really a cutie-pie ^^

Thank you so much!! I'm really happy with how these turned out :)

You know what sucks? People usually don't enjoy textless icons. It's like they think it is "too easy" to do, you know? Man, those things aren't easy to be done... to be perfect like yours, it gets some time...

People... *rolls eyes*
XD

oh yes, I know what you mean. Adding text is the easiest thing on the planet. But finding something to actually write on the icons, something that will make sense... that's the hard part. I could have put an "Adrian" or something like that on all the Adrian icons and had text but I wanted them simple like that, sort of "clean". Text can often just be over the top.

But yes, I know that not everyone realizes that these textless icons aren't just cropped pictures. These caps we work with are very often quite dark. Some times I give samples that show before and after, like this here.

*sigh* You're so awesome.

LOL. Best. Feedback. EVER!! *snuggles you*

*snuggles back* And WORD to what cammissbloom said about textless icons. I like them myself, but when making icons I often feel like I've just *got* to put *something* there. Heaven forbid we just focus on the picture itself, lol. Your icons are the ish.

And there's a 2-page article on Adrian in the July 31st issue of Star magazine--if it's still in stores, it'll be behind the new issues. =D

Yeah I used to be so dependent on brushes. I mean, back in the days, I thought icons without a border sucked ass. hehe. Now I can hardly make myself put a 1px border around the icons. I'm a firm believer that simple is very often much better. Like you said, let the picture speak for itself. Like I said to Cammi, I could have put the text "Adrian" or "Vince" or "Entourage" on all the icons if I wanted but that wasn't what I was aiming for. I'm so into the textless look. My last icon batch, I wanted to try some other things, work with textures and brushes again and text and yeah, some of the icons turned out alright but mostly I didn't like the style after I finished them. I much rather prefer working with the pictures and finding a good colouring for them. That's fun to me XD

I don't think we sell Star magazine here :-( But I'm sure I can find scans of it somewhere :)
