[flowsoffire]

Here we go, guys! Gosh, I did end up posting these. Twenty s1, five of The Eleventh Hour, one OTP indulgence and one of Idris. Hope you enjoy my dabbling! Any and all feedback is appreciated!

And 27 alternates (but not one for each) because I play around and can't focus on one version for the life of me:

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 :)

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 ♥
