Icon Recommendations
I'm starting a series of recommendations of makers whose work I admire. I've collected icons from >50 makers, thus the series. Let me know how frequently you want to see them, please? I don't know know how often I'll do them but I'd like a feel for how often would be too often.
I recently nominated a bunch of icon makers over at magicawards so I'm kicking off the recs with several of the makers whose work I ran out of time for nominating and a couple who are new-to-me.
winterfish, Icon Tag: I've long admired winterfish's icons; she made many of my favorite SG-1 icons. She has a lovely sense of humor, her images are crisp, and she uses natural, warm colors that I adore but what makes her work stand out for me is the diversity in her icons. She features characters of color alongside the usual suspects found in everybody else's icons. I like that her icons are good AND inclusive.
janie_tangerine at rockin_graphix: Fellow Misha/Castiel fan whose way with words on icons makes me laugh. Whenever there's a Supernatural episode with lots of wordy jokes, I eagerly await her post because I KNOW I'm going to be snagging a ton of icons. She's made quite a few Misha icons that are my tried and true friends.
txduck, Icon Tag: Interesting crops and puns! Txduck's work is a departure from my usual love of color, color, and more color. Her icons' muted colors have a tranquility about them. I envy her cropping skills. Her icons look like no others' icons.
tle_lovie69 at trueasthenight: I discovered this maker when somebody else nominated her at magicawards. The color, composition, use of textures...everything grabs me and makes me wish I made icons like these. So much pretty!
adina_mpj at sick_muse_icons: Another new-to-me maker whose work I "met" at magicawards. An amazing use of color and composition, the icons are just plain old preeeeetty.
Obviously, I did not make these icons. If you wish to use them, please be certain to visit the maker to let her know and be certain to credit as she wishes.
