Icontest banners

[pensnest]

Just to prove that I do not always make, ahem, unusual icons.

First place in the BSB challenge... which unfortunately has now ceased to operate.



Bit of a JC-focused week, as the first place was from the Nsync challenge and the other two from the Chasez challenge.







I won a Lance challenge banner too, but it doesn't actually exist so I'll post it another time.

You do gorgeous work. I should get back into the swing of icon making myself. It's been a long time.

Thank you! I get a lot of satisfaction from messing around with 100x100 squares, so I definitely recommend getting back into the swing of it yourself. How about entering at severalplums?

Yikes. Hm. Considered it. But then I saw how good everyone is and my confidence took a knock. ahahaha

No, no, don't think that way! It's surprising how the results go, sometimes. At least, I think so! And I do find it helpful to have an actual challenge, because the picture gives you a place to start.

I love your icons! And no, you don't always make unusual icons, but when you do, you do phenomenal work! ;)

[pensnest]

Well, thank you. Hee. It's a while since I've had this kind of inspiration...

You do make beautiful icons.

And I'm determined to make an actual severalplums icon this time around! I'm a little intimidated as I've only ever made one icon before, but am planning to have a play with Gimp tonight!

Good for you! It's practise that does it - I can't remember how long it took before I got any placings in the first challenge I joined, but eventually I managed it.
