That looks horrible and a monkey could paint a square red and turn someone upside down.

That's really odd. Are you sure I'm the first? I feel so special. Can I make a request? Color a square blue and then flip someone upside down. That's be hot but I don't know if you have skill enough to do it.

wow! agressive much? it seems like SOMEONE didn't take their meds today, hmmm???

and honey, i'm sure if u actually READ the tutorial u'd see that it's a little bit more than coloring a box and flipping someone upside down, but u didn't, so i won't get into it. in ANY CASE, u're still a wussy (take the w and replace it with a p) for not insulting me with ur profile name. and uhh...can we keep this argument going, because i love that my comments are already at 5 and i only posted this about 15 mins ago :D

Hahaha, nice flame ;p. I think this was a good representation of some of the alternative techniques and compositions that can be used in iconing. Good for beginners (because there are always people new to graphicing around :D) and I learned a few things too.

Besides, did the flamer notice this tutorial was a REQUEST? Obviously there are people who appreciate your work here they don't. Keep it up!

stfu. BTW You have ugly people in your icon and they can't sing worth shit.

Sorry, you appear to have confused yourself; I was addressing the OP. Thank you for your educated opinion about my icon and it's content. I disagree, I think (without reference to their actual vocal ability) they sing worth 'a whole lot of shit' and do quite well for themselves. I would equally offer some constructive criticism in regards to some of your fandoms but as you insist upon remaining anonymous I cannot return the favour sorry.
