Lantis Lims  
[livejournal.com profile] cerri44 and I werev talking this weekend about [livejournal.com profile] lantis_lims and I told her how I'm frustrated that most my lantis lims icon follow the same pattern. Cropped characters and a background.

Mind you, I love the style and I adored every icon I posted, because I took a long time doing them and it's so much fun, but I am noticing a style-trend. They are very similar and very me.

And now I got this comment in my feedback there: At this point in voting, I have an idea whose icon this is based on style -- I've noticed because I adore the style. I'll be interested to find out if I'm right. Mind you, I like that my stuff if noticable, but I'm not sure it's always good and I know that I want to be more flexible in skill.

I mean, I didn't realize before putting those three entirs together just how similar they were.




Very cool Supernatural icon set here!!

i think it sucks when we do lots of icons that are fruit of someone's else created style.
is true that i sometimes i try to re-create those styles i like but always put something that make people know that those are my works and not someone else.
but hun, let me tell you that your work is fabulous and those icons are simply amazing.Is not fair for other ones to 'steal' our design/style, but what can we do? not to much i think.
your icons are just unic.trust me.

But they always are!! you have to get inspire somewhere.

I think there ios nothing wrong with getting inspired and mimicking a bit,if you add your own flavour.

and thanks... it just struck me as odd that over a space of several weeks all my icons look so similar.
