Iconing and Learning

[zerographic]

Ok! At the suggestion of the lovely lavellebelle I am posting a couple of my very first icons some of my most recent to see how I've grown. Now hers are a year ago, but I'm not that cool. I only started in February or so.

Commence the heckling:

Old:

        

ARGHHH! So bad. Especially the last one, I had not yet learned the glory that is stroking...

New:

        

Much shinier! I have some that I'm even prouder of, but the contests aren't over yet ;)

Early quality

Well of the first group only the first and last are all that bad.

The first 'cause the image quality isn't sharp enough...

The last because it has too much going on. What message were you actually trying to give?

The new ones are very nice. Good pic quality and simple messages. And the shifting one follows a consistent message or theme.

The last of the old ones is one I made in reference to an excellent story by a Buffy fanfic writer named kantayra.

Glad you like my new ones! I am constantly learning...
