Caitirin_Icons FAQ Page
Can I use your icons?
- Sure. That's what they're created for, I just ask that you credit me in your userpic keywords and leave me a comment.

How do I credit you?
-Go to your icon management page - http://www.livejournal.com/editpics.bml and type these into the boxes beside the icon.
Example:

A few exceptions to the crediting rule are icons like the Sinfest icons, which should be credited back to their artists. This will be specified in the posts.

Where do you get all your images/screencaps?
- Many of the screen caps that I've used have been downloaded from animescreencaps and dj_capslock my thanks to those who share their screencaps there. Most of my Utena images come from Ohtori.nu. The pokemon images that I use come from Legendary Pokemon.net.

What about the brushes that you use? Where are those from?
- my brushes come from a variety of sources, a few of them I've made myself but most of the rest were found at 100x100_brushes. You can also visit my credits page for specific users or communities.

What icon communities do you post to/recommend
-I love all of these communities: utena_hush, book_icons, iconfiend100, pokemon_icons, utena_icons, 100x100_brushes

What awards have you won?
I've won just a few, you can see them Here.

Can you teach me how to make icons?
- I can sometimes answer a specific questions but only for the program that I use (Photoshop CS2). If you're just starting out then I recommend checking out icon_tutorial. The best way to learn what your program can do is to just open up a blank document or an image and just start TRYING things out. See what all the commands do.

Will you affiliate with my icons/graphics/brush journal?
Probably. Leave me a comment in the affiliates post here - http://caitirin-icons.livejournal.com/32041.html?mode=reply
