Questions & Answers

We had a fair amount of response in the poll, so here is the rumored Q&A post! Any questions you have about graphics, ask away and hopefully someone can help you out. Makers can also make a comment and people can ask them questions specifically - I'll set mine up, feel free to follow that example - and I'll link individual makers as well as question threads in the post when I'm around to edit.

The Request Fest is still open until Sunday evening, so get those requests and fills in.

Sorry it took me FOREVER (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to respond to this! I read it as soon as you posted it and have been thinking on it ever since I swear! I just didn't reply immediately which I really shouldn't do because it usually means I forget to in general, OOPS. Anyway!

I'M STILL SUCH A FAN OF YOURS! Don't minimize your talent! You can't convince me of it! ;-)

I think all of what you say here makes A LOT of sense. I especially love your approach to using the smoothing button or whatever you call it (I'm so technical it's awesome). I really need to try that more in my icons and graphics - it works so so so well on yours! Seriously, AMAZING. I just remember this one I have of yours that's Chris Argent and it's seriously PHENOMENAL. I'm guessing you used this tactic for making it among other genius things.

Paint daubs is another new approach that I've been trying lately. I'm sure that you guys have it down WAY better than I do. The more I try the closer I'll be to getting there though, right? I hope! :)

I also love the idea of painting onto icons. I just suck at it -sadface- oh well. Maybe I'll get better at that someday too!

THANKS SO MUCH for your response! I really loved it! I hope to see many many many more of your icons in the very near future! I'll be saving tons! :D <3
