#4 is too blurry, but has the best coloring, imo

how come? sorry but it looks the same in colouring to me as #1 & a lighter version of #3

really? idk, maybe it's a screen thing, but #1 has more cyan and magenta tones and a harsher lighting,
and #3 has absolute no contrast, and her face looks blotchy.

I'm not saying that it's a masterpiece, but of all 6 it's the best.

Just my opinion.

Anon bc I feel like it:

I used the phrase ''spirit animal'' in my post for 20insp.
Gonna change it in a sec. I had no idea it was offensive. I have seen it on tumblr and by other makers so much, I thought it was the appropriate word to use.

Sorry bout that :)

I think it's hard not to tread on the toes of myth & culture in general with that phrase but IMO as long as you're not using the phrase 'totem' or the native language word for the concept, then you are not necessarily alluding to the same thing.

the concept of spirit animal has been round since ancient times and is not restricted to one religion or culture set. however i think if someone has pointed out they find it personally offensive then it doesn't hurt to change it :)

ayrt

I know. I agree with everything you said. This phrase has been in use by fans in general for many years, I thought it was the default to use for such things.

I don't believe I did anything terrible, but since some people were offended, it's very easy to change it!

I used the phrase spirit animal too because I've seen it a thousand times on tumblr and livejournal referring to the concept of someone you identify with. I had no idea that it has a different meaning because I've only seen it used in that kind of "environment" and situations.

Just to be clear, I did not meant to offend anyone and I'm really sorry if I did, I will speak to vetica to ask him to edit the post and change the term. Also, thank you for letting us/me know because if you have not posted that comment I probably would have been making the same mistake over and over again without realizing it. I'll be more careful the next time I use terms which I'm clearly not familiar enough with.

Again, I'm sorry.

way to go, anon. maybe they'll now close down both of those comms.

You're probably not as good as you think you are, bby.

I have almost 300 watchers and I have been nominated in two of the fandom categories. But whatever, I wasn't serious. :P

I have 800+ and I haven't been nominated for anything. Not a good indicator of how good you are, I'm afraid!

Do you dislike it when makers who has a distinct style (a good one) try something new? Do you wish they'd stick to what they know best?

Reply

anonymous June 7 2012, 12:53:13 UTC
Hmm. For me it's not really a 'stick to what they know best' 'cause I like to see makers branch out and see new things from them but 9/10 I do wish they still made their older styles alongside just because I may like them more as a personal preference...but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're technically better? ..
...Ugh, I got completely lost while typing this ramble - sorry anon.

If it's something cool and interesting then yeah I like it :) but obviously if the old style was something only that person had (or was the only one to do it in my fandoms) then sure I'd like it to still be an element in some of their icons I guess. But I never get the whole anti-change attitude, I think every iconer needs to make what inspires them the most.
