Icon Post #2 (Mass Update 10/3/08)

[sp_kathrine]

I've decided to just go with the flow and not separate all of the icons by fandom. I'll just keep putting up new posts each time I fill one up. If you're looking for my older icons then they will be on Icon Post #1So enjoy my latest icons and remember that creditting me is always optional, but please credit the artists of any fanart I use. I always

don't break up all your icon posts by fandom. When you fill this one up like you did the last one, create a new one. This way you can show time differences and/if you had any progress between the posts. Besides, you might end up making too many icons for one fandom and come up with this problem all over again.

You're really on a Greta streak, ne? thats alright tho, since she is cute, and the puzzle one is really nice.

[sp_kathrine]

That's a pretty good idea, because it would be a good way to measure my progress. I should probably pick out the icons I've made since my last sharing post (of any fandom) and put them here, so that the more recent ones are together.

Yes I'm definitely on a Greta streak. There just aren't enough Greta-icons around. ^_^ Thanks!

Take some Naruto icons for my collection
OMG, "Orochi-chan"! This icon made me real crazy! =3333
Thank you so much for the great work :)

[sp_kathrine]

It really makes me happy when I find people who enjoy more than one fandom of my icons. ^_^

That would be my own personal quirk for calling him Orochi-chan, the He-Queen of Pedophiles. So of course, Kabuto would have to use it as well. ^_~

Hey

[ladygith]

I like your Naruto icons and I snagged a bunch. The wittiness and crack is great. As for improvement, on the manga coloring the skin tone is off in a lot of the icons. Basically it is too yellow. (At least on my monitor.. so uhm, ask for some other opinions too.. hopefully my monitor isn't off-color!)

I was lazy in coloring this pic, but it's an example of a more natural skin tone: http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u149/ladygith/psychoVday_ladygith.gif

Also I don't use this, but I found it in a coloring tutorial. I personally think the lightest tone is too pink, but it's an opinion! http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u149/ladygith/skinpallette.jpg

Hopefully some of that helps. :D

I spoke to my close friend who is an artist, darksahdow on DA if you've ever seen her work, since you had mentioned (I think in the chuunin post) for comments on improvement and this is what was said

[sp_kathrine]

Thank you very much for the critique, because that is something that I really appreciate

=O I never heard of it. To not have layers though.. wow~ I think layers make it so much easier. Not knowing the program, I can't really offer any plausible suggestions on it's use. You would know it far more than me!

I see where you are coming from with the skintone, actually. To be honest, the only reason I even noticed is because I have friends critique my graphics a lot. More than just that one friend, although her career is in graphic arts and she's usually the most honest with the best suggestions for improvement. Even if it IS hard to hear them. I used to go with the yellower skin tone as well, but it kept coming up as suggestions for change. Most of the skin tones I use for Naruto icons now are eye judgement, but I had started using color samples from the anime after being told a few times the skin was too yellow. As always, colors really are a personal preference and thus nothing more than opinion. :D
