An icon maker friending meme!
Hello icon_talk!
Yesterday I made a post here at the community where I asked people to give their opinion regarding how quiet the icon community has become, and the reason why people seem to be leaving LJ. I also asked for suggestions on what we could do to make people more interested and engaged again. An icon maker friending meme was one of the ( Read more... )

Ha! In that case, my work is done. Extremely strange as it seems, GK makes me so happy and upbeat. Plus, everyone in the fandom is so nice, it's like a warm bath. :) (And thank you.)

What do you write about in your personal journal (fandom, real life or both?) Uh. Both?

What do you like to make the most (icons, headers, resources, tutorials)?: I love making PSD's. idk why, I sometimes feel kind of guilty for not making tutorials, I think they're far more useful than PSD's. I guess I'm just lazy. Um. I love making all kinds of graphics; I mostly make icons, though.

Is your personal journal friends-locked or public?: Friends-locked
What do you write about in your personal journal (fandom, real life or both?) Both. I talk about my life, current events, and books but also about current fandom obsessions.
Which fandoms are you most active in: Currently Generation Kill, but I watch a lot of shows and talk about them when I feel the need to fangirl or complain (like White Collar, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Modern Family, Hellcats, Bones, Pretty Little Liars (shut up, they're all so pretty!), The West Wing when I need to feel better, Glee and Gossip Girl sometimes). Icon-wise, I'm doing a lot of Harry Potter and Doctor Who but I'm having a tough time with my icons lately, maybe I should try something completely different. If anyone has any ideas, please don't hesitate to let me know!
How long have you been making graphics and where do you post them?: Er... *checks community* for about three years, I guess. I post them at illusoir_icons.

If anyone wants to recommend me some new icon challenge communities, I'd love that. I'm not liking my icons one bit lately and I'm open to new things to see if they might help me. :)

One of the things that always helps me when I'm a bit 'Meh' about my icons, I randomly take some pictures and simply start cropping and colouring. Just going with whatever feels right, letting it flow, letting go of any expectations of how it should look like. Simply enjoying making icons.
