I wasn't sure whether to post this in [info]necroholic or here but this seems like more sensible place for it.

ICON TRUTH MEME


RULES:
1. Comment with your username, a few icons to see your work, and people will comment with what they feel about your icons.
2. You don't have to comment anonymously, but I would strongly suggest it.
3. TELL EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE!
4. Please don't be rude when commenting, there is a difference between constructive and destructive criticism.
5. Even if you feel like you're not the best icon maker, please comment anyway, or comment to other people. This is supposed to help people grow, and see their strengths and weaknesses.


(If no one comments to this or anything, I will be so sad)

This was taken from an icon meme on lj.

Copy & paste this to promote this meme! Please?

I like the colors in a lot of your icons and you make really great stock photo icons- too bad I don't really use those, lol. But your cropping's nice too, and I bet you could make funny icons, too, you just have to learn not to be shy about it. ;)

I really like the coloring of your icons. The color makes them seem a little dreamlike, altered state.. They're all so simple that it's really easy to look at.

I really like how dark your icons can be. I can see this being an issue with people who have older monitors, but it's simply amazing on an up-to-date one. There seems to be a lot of empty space in your icons, but I understand that's a popular style as well.

i had to go look at them again to see what you meant by "lot of empty space in your icons", but now i definitely see that so thank you. i just honestly never ever think about it. that would be a great thing to add on. i have a problem with feeling like i'm cluttering my icons, though.

sometimes i just like the empty space too. i recently made this icon:

& you can obviously tell that like 70% of that was put in by me. i kinda like it that way, so all of the focus is just on the head. idk i have a weird sense of style. it works for me i guess.

yeah, my old monitor which i had for YEARS. probably 10 years, eep. idk. anyway, these icons would look a HOT MESS, as some people say, on that monitor.

What i like about your icons is that, you kind of post EVERYTHING. you know? Most people only have one unique style, and always post that. (example. some people only post celebrities) And when you do post icons there always wonderful.

Favorite one is the first, second, and the second to last. :)
