While making icons for
challenge 124 on a Friday night,
kirin76 and I had a very interesting conversation on AIM. (I was talking to
pegasi1978 at the same time on MSN IM, but it wasn't quite as entertaining.) I
posted bits of the conversation with
kirin76 a while ago. I had to omit quite a bit of it, as we did discuss
challenge 124 while it was ongoing. But, now that it's over, I was thinking we could let you guys in on how we operate the madness behind the method here at
dreamoftomarrow. There still is some of it that I had to omit for mod purposes, but this is pretty much the meat of the conversation. And, because we are an icon-making community, I have some icons inspired by the conversation with
kirin76 down at the bottom!
kirin76 (7:25:30 PM): hey there I am making entries right now. Lol. yeah procrastante me? never! ;-)
