Ohhh, I see what you mean about the lighting and coloring you were talking about!! Sweetie...these are GORGEOUS. YOU MUST POST THEM TO A COMM!!!!

*HUGS*

*giggles delightedly* You used the "I came" icon! XDDD best praise right there… THANK YOU SO MUCH. Heading there right now ^_^

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Shiny! Lovely!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot! :D

[juliet316]

These are very lovely.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Gosh, thank you!!!! I adore yours, so it really means a lot you like mine :D Thanks for commenting!

[serena-vox.livejournal.com]

These are quite lovely!

I'll be saving some of the Ninth Doctor ones, can't get enough of Nine.

As a beginner, you should check out some tutorials! icon_tutorial has great stuff, that's where I referred to when I first started. All the buttons and settings scared the daylights out of me and I couldn't really decide what to do beyond cropping. The community is pretty much dead from what I can tell but there's tons and tons of stuff there! Welcome to icon making! It certainly goes upwards and onwards! :)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you found some you liked :)

Thanks a lot for the advice as well, I really appreciate it! I've been looking for tutorials indeed, and found some comms like this—my problem is, I love doing icons but I have too little time to delve into it properly (always wanting to do 153 different things, that's me =P) and therefore I get impatient/puzzled/hopeless quite quickly whenever I can't understand a tutorial right and feel out of my depth, lol. I'm bad like that. Like all things, it requires patience and work… But that comm does look pretty great and has a beginner tag and a Gimp tag, which should be very helpful! So thanks again for directing me there :)

[serena-vox.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's like that as well! I tend to spend about an hour or so per icon, depending. If I do basic colouring and stuff like that, quicker, but I get so caught up playing with textures that I'll spend 30 or more minutes just goofing off with them. As a result I never seem to make more than 10 icons per day, if any at all.

I'm glad you found it useful! I didn't actually realise it was dead until I linked it because I've not looked at it in a while. I could've sworn there was a second community for tutorials but it seems to have disappeared! Ah well.

Oh god! :D I'm not quite sure whether to find that thrilling or be appalled because LOL time I don't have it. Textures sound like a great thing… someday I will end up figuring out what it's all about :D (Sounds like layers are the first step in that direction, though.)

I have gimp_tutorial saved in my favourite links, too—I get so frustrated when I find a good-sounding tutorial and it's for PS, lol. Anyway, people posting helpful stuff like that is really great ♥

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

So beautiful :) I'm taking 22 (psychedelic Ten :D ) and will credit you of course. Keep up the good work!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked those! Haha, the Ten one—I'd just discovered a new colour thingie and pretty much went wild with it, I had to order myself not to do a billion alternates and to choose the one that looked most fitting instead ;) Delighted you liked the result!

[mango-apple.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons all

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Very glad you liked :D

[radiolaires]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. They are SO pretty. I absolutely love the colours, striking, pop! Probably grabbing some Nine, because I need him.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you! ♥♥♥ Means the world from you, my artsy love ;)

(I made a One + Barbara one yesterday! My evening was made.)

[radiolaires]

;) They are just fantastic -community-worthy. I hope you will not hesitate to post more when you have the time.

(Yay! Cuties!)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much :D I haven't been able to make more since the Barbara one, but hopefully soon… =P Yeah. Hopefully. And I'll certainly share them :D

*hugs*

[radiolaires]

Take your time!

;)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Will do! Well, have to do… ^_^

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

Nine needs more love! <3

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

ALL THE LOVE FOR NINEEEE ♥♥♥

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

The universe needs more Nine! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

It so does ♥

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

There just isn't that many Nine icons out there, and it upsets me. There's too much Ten, Rose and River. But Nine, no. Jack, no. All my favourites! *tears*
I joke. There's more than enough Eleven and the TARDIS, so we're good! And thanks to you, Azzie, I now have *decent* Nine icons! *draws hearts around you*

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Awwww, there are a few though! Too few, admittedly. Idk if you were just mourning the fact or if you think that's bad and want some more for your own use—if it's the latter, I could dig into my collection and name you a few makers? There must be at least one or two, I'm pretty sure…

But yeah, some characters definitely get more exposure than others :( Maybe you'd better look into Torchwood icons if you need more Jack beauty!

Yeah, there are plenty of Eleven and the TARDIS! :D (And I'm guilty of always doing more Eleven and not going back to the Nine era, lol!)

Aw, thank you ^_^ *draws hearts around you too*

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

It was a bit of both really. I'm short on icon markers that cap Nine. Everyone's into Eleven and River and ElevenandRiver! :/
Oh, aww, bless you! You don't have too! :D

Ah, this is a good point. Let me do some more fishing! :P

Me too! I mostly icon'd Eleven. . .

You're welcome! It's well deserved! ♥ Aww thank you! *draw hearts around us both* *draws hearts around John and Stu too* *draws harts around us four*

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm guilty of that! ;P But variety is good!

I don't mind at all! :) It was a good occasion to go through all of my icon collection! :D Here are a few links:

Eleven is just too good to resist! ♥ But yeah, SO IS NINE!

*twirls happily in the circle of hearts* Aw, all the love! :D

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you for all these! <3 I'll take a look and let you know!! :D

♥
You deserve all the love!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

You're welcome—always glad to help! :D

You too! ♥

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

:D I like most of these! ♥

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you do! :D They're all rather different styles… but the people are all talented! ♥

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! ♥
Different is gooooood! They are, aren't they?! People are so fucking talented thought! It's like HOW did you get that much in a space 100x100?!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

It is! :D

Yessssssss! It's just really inspiring even when you think "HOW did you do that?!" ;)

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

I don't even think that! Sometimes they are so good you cannae even think! :P

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Exactly! :D

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

And then people make gifs as tiny as that!
And animated rain icons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yesssssss!!!
