I really really didn't want to participate, and I doubt the usefulness of the concrit with 40+ participants (i.e. will i even get any).
But, to be honest, it's the only thing going on this month, and I'm terribly uninspired by either 20muses or 10in30 this time.
So I guess I'll sign up after all? If the adventure thing excites me, that is.
(I'll probably be thrown out of the lims_movie until then, too, so that works out well. ;D - also, the two caps we've had so far were so horrible for me to work on, too. I made two icons I can barely look at. I spent so much time on them and still hate them.)
hmm, not everyone who signs up actually participates - I'd estimate there will be about 20-30 actual participants. It's still a lot but I'll at least try to write a bit of feedback for every icon, not super detailed of course but I hope it will still be somewhat helpful :)
It would be cool if you signed up but I think there's actually a lot going on at any given time so if you didn't like the last round, I'm not sure lack of other icon activities is a good reason to do it...?? I mean, there's character20n20, theiconthrone challenges, icontests like iconsomething and capicontest... and all the other billion comms listed at icontalking! :p honestly I have the opposite problem, too damn much going on and I can't participate in half the stuff I want to. I think I'll try 20muses this time tho, simple icons may not be my thing but I can make them fairly effortlessly so I might be able to actually finish this time and it would be an interesting challenge to see if I can still give the icons that something extra even if I take away text and composition and most textures. 10in30 doesn't

Ha, no, I did. But it was anonymous, which made it easier for me to put myself out there. I'm not sure how non-anonymous rounds are done, but if the concrit is on icons without you knowing who made what (like lims_movie), then that's fine with me. I was skeptical about people judging my icons when they know they're mine. But I don't think that's the case, and that was the only reservation I had.
I'm sure you could identify my icons, and of course robot!anon can :), but everyone else pretty much doesn't know me or my style.
The reason I didn't want to do it was that it was very exhausting, and I thought I had to bring extra-good game. So I made myself a lot of stress. If I participate this time, I won't do that. I also left a lot of concrit last time, and I'm not going to do that with 30 participants.
But I love that you're planning on doing that!

Oh, now I totally get what your reservations were about and no, we definitely don't have the makers visible during the voting, they're just revealed in the results/feedback post just like the aliases were on the anon round. I'm not too sure I'd guess yours though, I'm actually pretty bad at guessing unless I try and I just don't have the patience/time to put as much effort into these guesses as sherlock anon, robot anon etc... but even if I do recognize someone, I'm aware enough of my biases to not let them affect my actual votes too much
