Just wanted to let you all know I've switched journals and will now be posting with this one. :D

Hello all!

I was going to do a request post for this month but it turns out that I will be moving. So I'm going on semi hiatus for now. I may or may not be able to make and post icons besides a few challenges here and there. I've got lots of packing to do.. x___x

I should be back sometime in June with new icons and a massive request post as I see I have many more members and watchers. Keep an eye out for that! :D

Whew! That waaay longer than I thought it'd be! If no one wants to go through all that, (which I can totally understand as it took me about four hours to do this one icon originally. /dies/) I've uploaded the PSD for download on mediafire here.

I hope this was helpful! Feel free to ask any questions. :D

Dumping recent challenge icons. I didn't realize how many would be in this post o__o;

I'm going to try to post more often this year, in smaller batches, especially since I always have at least 30 different screencaps sitting on my computer not being used til a month or so later. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do though in the next few months as I will be getting ready to move so we'll see how that one goes. I'll do my best regardless!

Also, I finally got a good monitor and holy. crap. !!! /cringes/ I didn't realize at all how bad some of my icons have been lately, especially when they've been used for challenges. D: I have a newer lcd monitor that's not really old nor an ancient crt (the horror! lol) so hopefully my stuff won't be so awful.

One more thing, topaz clean is the greatest thing ever ♥ As you will see in this post (and the previous one) I'm abusing it and my icons. :P

60 icons
Fringe
Justified
Doctor Who
Supernatural
Game of Thrones
Once Upon a Time

I rarely work with no color, especially as of late so I decided to dedicate an entire post to entirely black & white. Which I was inspired to do via iconpraise, here.

I also wanted to work on the pile of screencaps I have had chilling on my hard drive for a while, waiting to be used for something other than challenges.

31 icons
Fringe
Doctor Who
Supernatural
Game of Thrones

A bit late with this but, Happy New Year everyone! :D

I was going to post this earlier but it's the holidays and I didn't feel like it~ ha Anyways these are the icons I made this past year plus my personal favorites at the very end. (each month is a link to the original post) I feel like I learned a lot this year, especially during the past two months, I've really tried hard at changing up my style, trying new things and branching out. Joining elite icon communities really helped out as the competition there is pretty steep, which makes it all the more fun!

Watching iconpraise has also helped tremendously in seeing amazing work and gaining many different ideas. I think the icon community as a whole has grown this year, or is it just me? I'm not sure but you all are a fantastic bunch and I'm glad to be a part of it! :]
