Aww, thank you very much. I don't think they're horrible or anything (If I thought so, I wouldn't be posting them) but I've been doing these icons foriamthedanger icontest without much success. When I see my icons next to the others that have been submitted, I'm realizing that I'm way out of my league. Unfortunately, since I'm a very competitive person by nature, I can't stand not being in the running (yeah, yeah everyone has their character flaws!). Also, I'm not really enjoying making them either (I don't have photoshop along with the fancy 'selective coloring' and 'colors curves' so it's been a struggle, frankly).
Unfortunately, since I'm a very competitive person by nature, I can't stand not being in the running... OMG I TOTALLY RELATE TO THIS! It is the very reason I haven't been ten-pin bowling since I was seven years old! It's also a big reason why I don't (or, at least, very rarely) make icons myself. So, yes, I hear you. And I understand. SO MUCH.
I also hear you on the no photoshop thing. Not that I can blame not having photoshop. I just don't think I have the patience for graphics making! I know exactly what I want something to look like and when it doesn't happen in the first three minutes I give up!
LUNE! Your BB icons are so awesome. Sorry I just realised I snagged two of them and forgot to even comment. I suck. But your icons certainly don't. I wouldn't get downhearted over the icon community. The same posters keep winning and it's a little suspicious. I don't think the voting is as unbiased as they are suggesting. Some of the winning icons haven't really impressed me very much.
Thank you cappy!! And yeah, some of the winning icons are not the ones I have major inferiority complex against! Or else I completely lost touch of what makes a good icon (like the one I'm using now... I think the colors, the lightning and cropping are absolutely gorgeous. Didn't place at all and wasn't even close)
Those tiny 100*100 things are so restrictive anyway, I much prefer doing the big graphics I post on tumblr.
