These are very lovely.

Gosh, thank you!!!! I adore yours, so it really means a lot you like mine :D Thanks for commenting!

These are quite lovely!

I'll be saving some of the Ninth Doctor ones, can't get enough of Nine.

As a beginner, you should check out some tutorials! icon_tutorial has great stuff, that's where I referred to when I first started. All the buttons and settings scared the daylights out of me and I couldn't really decide what to do beyond cropping. The community is pretty much dead from what I can tell but there's tons and tons of stuff there! Welcome to icon making! It certainly goes upwards and onwards! :)

[flowsoffire]

Thank you! Glad you found some you liked :)

Thanks a lot for the advice as well, I really appreciate it! I've been looking for tutorials indeed, and found some comms like this-my problem is, I love doing icons but I have too little time to delve into it properly (always wanting to do 153 different things, that's me =P) and therefore I get impatient/puzzled/hopeless quite quickly whenever I can't understand a tutorial right and feel out of my depth, lol. I'm bad like that. Like all things, it requires patience and work… But that comm does look pretty great and has a beginner tag and a Gimp tag, which should be very helpful! So thanks again for directing me there :)

Yeah it's like that as well! I tend to spend about an hour or so per icon, depending. If I do basic colouring and stuff like that, quicker, but I get so caught up playing with textures that I'll spend 30 or more minutes just goofing off with them. As a result I never seem to make more than 10 icons per day, if any at all.

I'm glad you found it useful! I didn't actually realise it was dead until I linked it because I've not looked at it in a while. I could've sworn there was a second community for tutorials but it seems to have disappeared! Ah well.

Oh god! :D I'm not quite sure whether to find that thrilling or be appalled because LOL time I don't have it. Textures sound like a great thing… someday I will end up figuring out what it's all about :D (Sounds like layers are the first step in that direction, though.)

I have gimp-tutorial saved in my favourite links, too-I get so frustrated when I find a good-sounding tutorial and it's for PS, lol. Anyway, people posting helpful stuff like that is really great ♥

So beautiful :) I'm taking 22 (psychedelic Ten :D ) and will credit you of course. Keep up the good work!

[flowsoffire]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked those! Haha, the Ten one-I'd just discovered a new colour thingie and pretty much went wild with it, I had to order myself not to do a billion alternates and to choose the one that looked most fitting instead ;) Delighted you liked the result!
