Thank you so much, Jess! ♥ I'm pretty busy this summer so who knows, but I'm hoping to get some time to icon soon. I miss it!
I'm glad you like the coloring in 8, because that was part of an (unfinished) mentors quest @ iq and I was trying to emulate your coloring. I'm not sure how well that actually worked, but at the very least it pushed my coloring in a different direction that I quite liked. :)
I really wish I'd gotten to finish that DW batch (it was supposed to be for the Jan round @ insp20) because I was excited at some of the stuff I was doing in it. :( Glad the icons still stand out, though!
♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you! This was the best kind of comment to wake up to! Except your one re: insp20, which was BRILLIANT but I will get to that later. So. Yes. Icons.
The "glossy" look probably comes from the fact that I use about 20934 box blurred layers set to screen in the process of making my icons, and then sharpen with high pass, which probably doesn't mess up the smoothness. If you want any .psds so you can just see these things rather than listen to me bumble through an explanation just let me know. But that is probably how I do it. Maybe also a lot of lighting work?
Oh so 5 is how you tumblr graphic?? I always try to do things for tumblr and then they are terrible because I suck. XD So then I go back to smaller things because at least I know how they work.
Also, any time you want to Megstiel AU drabble on one of my posts is totally okay with me! Or write limericks. Those are also amusing. Just so you know. ;)
