#50 - #3SFIS Check In and a REQUEST POST!
So, for those of you who have seen my resolutions for 2015 { if you haven't; here's a link!}, you may remember my #3SFIS or Three Steps for Icon Success. I figured that since this is my 50th post here (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'd sum up my progress and have a little request post to celebrate the 50th post, almost 40 watchers, and SUMMER!

THREE STEPS FOR ICON SUCCESS IN 2015
1. Make more icons
PASS
So, I did make more icons. I've made almost 300 icons in the past five months! I wanted to participate in more challenges and LIMS' but I can never find the time lol!
2. Improve the icons
PASS
Oh yeah, my icons improved. Before I tended to just crop out the bg and place a fake one over or just color the icon like this:
Now, here's what the icons are looking like:
Yes, there is still room for improvement. I want to still work on compostion and coloring. Before, I was very hesitant to do any sort of compostion but now I actually want to add text or some paint splatters to make the icon look cooler.
3. Be more active
KINDA PASS
I was active - just not in the ways I had hoped to be. I wanted to participate in more challenges but I ended up doing more 20in20s and battles. Of course, I finished all my 20in20s and had a great time with all the battles but I do wish I had more time for challenges, especially the ones over at the7days and elite_inspired.
