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!!

It wasn't really your post, don't worry. Like I said..I noticed it before that and your comment made me very very happy.

And I know people recognize my style..it happened 3 years ago and it happens now. It just seems very evident to me, that especially looking at the last row, the style is very similar.. and I'm not talking about the sense of, this looks like and icon by this icon maker, but in a sense that the texturing and placement of the crop and the fact that the characters are cropped in the first place, is something I did for every single entry to this challenge round.

Mind you, you are totally correct about the SGA cap quality. That is the most furstrating thing, because the SGA caps for some reason, are a lot harder to work with than most other show caps.
I often see icons of other show sthat are just so gorgeous, but can hardly every be achieved for SGA.

And like I said.. it wasn't the comment at all, that was just a small thing and it's more a thing that for me as an artist I'm both excited and dismayed about the fact that people can recognize my work and the fact that sometimes, it feels that my evolving doesn't happen fast enough.

Thank you :)
