I've been feeling very… disheartened about icon-making in general for a while now. I've even thought about deleting this journal and just maybe giving up making icons. Mainly because it's not very fun being out in the icon-making world, but also being really alone.

Hence why there are so many icon battle icons lately. :D (Speaking of which, I have more to post, but those will come later.) I like being a part of something. Still making my own stuff, but having others around, sharing in the process. That's so much better.

So I've been accepted at [info]tasteislife, which is a lovely comm. The makers there are: [info]spg_spn_girls, [info]wildpages, [info]stacylk, [info]capelle, [info]marcasite, [info]blondeboy69, [info]vampire_sessah, and [info]zhaoxun



I hope you'll come check out the comm!!


(Just an FYI: I will still be posting my icons here, but probably only as an afterthought.)

This icon battle with the lovely [info]afrocurl took place months ago. But life got hectic and I forgot about them. And then I kind of lost my icons… but then I found them. Anyway, it's been way too long since I posted these. Thank you, [info]afrocurl, for being so patient, when I am obvious a massive flake. <3 <3 <3





peace was never an option… )

Just a small post this time. I am trying to icon more, but seem to be missing any motivation to do so. Although, I really like this Marvel-themed post. Even if it is small. :]

I haven't really felt like making icons lately. Partly because I've been moving and then traveling, so there hasn't been time. But mainly it's because of 2 things:

(1) I am out of the country, so my internet for the last few months was very, very limited. I had to turn images off. I did not realize how much I needed to be able to see icons (userpics, icon posts, etc.) in order to be inspired. (2) I haven't been able to watch my shows. This is a big thing, since I am addicted to my TV. Luckily, I did bring some stuff to watch with me, so I'm going to do that and see if I can't get inspired that way.

Anyway, this is a bit of an icon dump. Most of these were made for December gift exchanges and some were made for an icon battle. I felt okay when I made then (as usual), but now, looking back on them, I kind of hate them (as usual). Or, maybe not hate them, but I want to redo them all. But then I'd never get new icons made, so (as usual), I am trying to ignore that feeling and pushing on.

So, why am I posting them if I don't really like them? As a way of moving on. I want to make new stuff but every time I go into my folder I see all these old ones that should have been posted weeks ago. Posting it means they are done and I can make other stuff.

This isn't for awards or anything, which I like. All you do is pick the icons I made that you liked the best for this past year.

If you have time, please pick my icons. And if you do this meme, let me know!

[info]happy_harper13, I was hoping to get these done before the end of December, but that didn't happen. I am so sorry these are so late! And, lol, I did not realize how yellow these icons turned out. Thank you for request ion The Good Wife! I really need to icon this show more. I love it so much!!

I hope your holidays were wonderful and I wish you a fabulous new year!!!


Rambling: The rest of these icons were made for [info]outoftime for Tashmas. I don't know that I have much to say about them… mainly because I am kind of brain dead right now due to a little too much partying on New Year's Eve, plus over-doing it with friends today. :D

[info]green_queen, I made you Darren icons. I think that's "I love you!" in G-speak. :D I wish you a magical new year, sweets, because you deserve it!!!

[info]hamarakissa, thank you again for your lovely words! The caps you gave me were… challenging, but I liked that, actually. I hope I did them some justice. Like I mentioned, I am a little unhappy with the way the last icon came out, so if you don't like it, give me another cap to play with. I hope your holidays are wonderful and full of love & joy!!!
