Well, I downloaded a bunch of brushes and fonts from teh_indy yesterday and did some more fiddling. I was quite happy with how my little 'experiment' turned out, actually. Wanna see? Here it is:



Not too shabby, if I say so myself. The picture is just a sample on my computer. The wording might be a bit hard to make out (winter...), but I just need to be sure to correct that on future icons. I'm working on a Rain one and an Alucard one, too so...

I did want to try and use some of the lyrics I posted on an Akito icon, but I don't think I'll be able to be the one to do it since I don't have any pictures to use and I've only just started on it, so it wouldn't be all that great. Oh well!

*sigh* Everytime I make an entry, I always have to go back and correct the spelling errors I always make. If I wasn't so anal, I might be able to leave them, but I hate reading others entries that have errors, so I don't want to be a hypocrite. Mostly the mistakes I make are due to the fact I try to type as fast as I think, so letters get dropped, transposed or even misplaced. It doesn't help matters any that my spelling is pretty crappy. I try to do the best I can, but there are some words I almost always stumble over. Believe it or not, I do in fact, have a college degree.

Hey! 'Bout time I wandered over and said hello. I must say I am so impressed with your icon making adventures... any kind of visual art just completley hurts my brain.

*glomps Pel* Glad to see ya! Yeah, this is just recent for me! Before, my icon making skills were teh suck, but I'm learning as I go so I'm getting better.

Me, I'm impressed by my background! I was happy to make my journal a wee bit more personalized, you know...

Nice icon! Good job! :)

I make a lot of typos and spend a LOT of time editing my posts!!

Actually that last post (about boys) I wrote just before going out last night and just as I finished it, the doorbell rang, so I just posted it and ran off. When I came home I spell checked it and edited it and was shocked to realize it was FINE! lol. Oh, the time I could save if that happened every time...

Yeah, I think I catch them all, then I see it again and I instantly notice one I missed, I go "D'oh!!" to myself. Then, anal as I am, I go back and fix it...

And thanks for the kudos!!

Oh, I edit and correct my posts all the time. Don't worry about it. :) I wish we could do that with comments too. :)

SO DO I! I do the "type faster than I can think" thing with my comments, and I feel like kicking myself due to all the errors I make.

I is edukatedd...
