Post your icons and receive feedback to grow

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:08:41 GMT

I am still very new to icon making, so all comments are very much appreciated! I'm always ready to learn, so whatever constructive feedback you can give me would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks. ^^

So... recently I started experimenting with textures and I would like some opinions on the results. All of them had been entered in icontests so to some extend I already had feedback on how they were received, but I'd like a bit more detail about how I could improve.

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

And there's a last icon I want feedback on... it got me eliminated to both my and the Mod's surprise (as she told me when she gave me my comments) and out of the 6 comments there's only one (outright) useful one (about not being neat enough with blending and the image being under contrasted)... the rest simply "complain" about the colouring (dull, pale, needs more colour) and one even said it look unfinished but not why it seemed like it.
So I'm not sure where I should go with that or how much faith to put into the comments since I thought the colouring was good the way it was. Anyway, it was a blending challenge and this is what I entered:

When I started making these I wanted them to look dark and gritty to, you know, match the mood of the show. At first I was really pleased, but now I'm worried that they're looking less gritty cool, and more gritty/dark and ugly.

What do you guys think?

Hey, I'm new around here.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on some of my icons!

I know I've posted quite a few icons, but I'd be happy with just a general.. thing.
Like "You need to work on your cropping", "I like your colouring, but at times it's a little bit too bright" or "You need to work on your text placement" or something like that.
But, of course, I'd be reeeally happy if you just picked out one or two icons of the bunch to comment on. I really don't mind. [:

:3 click me.

Hack Warning!

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:09:53 GMT

Apparently there is a bit of nasty Malware Virus spreading through the social networking sites...including LiveJournal (of course). It targets communities, generating a mod-ish looking post informing the membership that the community is being closed, and then deletes all the community's entries. The post includes a couple of links which, when clicked, will infect the clickee, compromising their personal info as well as their f-list. Good times! [NOT!]

So...please be aware that THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT CLOSING. If you see such a post, do NOT click any of the internal links Please DO report the post to LJSupport by clicking the red flag icon or the "flag" link, depending upon your viewing option. This warning is site-wide, so please keep this in mind if you encounter strange so-called administrative messages on other communities of which you are a part.

This is an example of a post from a community that was recently hacked:

If anything suspicious appears please...
1) Do not Click on any suspicious Links, as they are intended to spread a malware keylogger.
2) Contact me - tatertotpixie

I hope everything will be okay.

feedback, please - first post

Hello,

If this is not allowed, could someone please point me in the direction of a community that helps icon makers with problems when they are fairly new to it.

So I made this icon,

and was so happy that I had figured out how to do it, that was until I uploaded it and was watching it. I think I can see what is wrong with it and was wondering if someone knew why it did that. The seperate pictures dont look like that.
