iconophilia [ share the icon love ]

Sorry about the wait, for those who requested stuff. My heart and my time just hasn't been into icon making for quite awhile and that's why these icons have taken so long to get here. Now that that's done, I think this community has done its business and I'm closing down shop. Thank you to everyone who's watched or who has snagged anything off here or said hi and some kind words - I really appreciate it and I'll see you around. =)

This community is closed.

Go to pollutedminds for new stuff!

I am terrible at keeping promises. I did my request post three months ago and I don't even have all of them done. But I can't hold these any longer before they become stale and useless, so the rest of the requests will be up eventually. =(


Requests:
   - TV (Alias; BSG; House; Buffy)
   - Music (Craig David; The Decemberists)
   - People (Stephen Colbert; Estella Warren; Jaime King; Rachel Weisz)
Non-Requests:
   - Regina Spektor
   - Brick
   - Misc (Nikon camera; Andy Warhol print)

To whoever is still watching: I'm sorry I don't post often. I'm still finishing up the requests because I am that slow but they'll be up eventually! While you're waiting, please go here to the Icon Truth Meme and criticise me to your heart's content!

Thank youuuu! I promise some ... thing eventually.

I'm really bored and I might as well use this to get back into iconing so:

It's icon request time! CLOSED

Link me to a maximum of 2 images (caps, photoshoots, etc.; please no personal photos) that you want me to make an icon out of and tell me if there's a particular style/text or whatever that you want on it. I won't always follow what you say, but I can try! These icons will also be shareable. And I can't promise they'll be ready immediately. It should be common sense that the better the quality of your image, the greater chance the icon won't turn out crap.

Have fun!

helcaxe asked me to make tutes on a couple of icons awhile ago and I've only gotten around to it. Also, I've never actually done a tute before so tell me if this is helpful to you or not.



Using PS7 although it should work in all programs.
( 7 steps with explanationsCollapse )

Please do note that this won't work for all icons and you have to get creative yourself for it to work for you. And please please PLEASE don't just copy this tutorial with the exact same image because that's just lame.
