Icon Recommendations

[hsapiens]

I'm starting a series of recommendations of makers whose work I admire. I've collected icons from >50 makers, thus the series. Let me know how frequently you want to see them, please? I don't know know how often I'll do them but I'd like a feel for how often would be too often.

I recently nominated a bunch of icon makers over at magicawards so I'm kicking

Adina's work is out of countrol good. She's been one of my faves for years now. Her icons are so incredibly original and complex and breathtakingly gorgeous!

I have *no* idea how I'd missed running into her work before now but I'm salivating over her work. The colors, the creative composition...it's amazing. I started saving her icons into an inspiration folder and had to stop when my hand got tired of clicking. LOVE her work!

Wow, thank you! I'm really very honoured to be included with such talented icon makers. I always feel like I should try experimenting more with my icons, but my minimalist tendencies always seem to win out.

Also, yay! So many beautiful icons in this post. I'm discovering new to me icon makers! :D

It's my pleasure! I've admired your work for years now, as you well know. You should do what makes you happy. ♥

Oh yay! It's my hope to spread The Word about some of the amazing makers on LJ. :D

I had totally missed this but thank you so very much! *blushes* I'm totally flattered to be up there. (And oh, there are some people I didn't know here whose icons are so pretty - I'll totally check them out later.) ♥

It's my pleasure! I use your icons all.the.time. Definitely check them out. There's a world of pretty to be had.

I keep reading about the LJ iconning community withering on the vine - and it certainly is smaller than it used to be - but it feels to me like the quality has gotten so much better. The raw talent, however, hasn't declined. There are still makers whose posts make my heart pitter-patter. ♥

I keep seeing ALOT of gorgeous icons. I don't really know how active the icon communities were before, but I think the quality certainly has gotten up. :D

Thank you! I've been wanting to do one for months now and finally had the perfect opportunity. ♥ ♥
