icons o.o

gnutmeg: (stop~!)
nutmeg is too tired to bother commenting to anyone right now, but she does have one thing that really needs to be said:

Yay for Kia and transparencies~ but what do you mean by "templates"? Like... premade shapes?? *blinks* I've never understood the idea of icon templates, I do everything around the image itself, by hand often enough. Maybe that's why people like my icons, because they're all "unique" and "done with care"? And yet I can pull out 40 transparent bases in little more than an hour. :P

This might turn into one of those quality vs quantity things, but really I do both. So.

nutmeg is bored, and so she is taking icon requests. I will give 5 people the opportunity to make a request. So the first five to respond to this (with the exact specifications of their request) will get an icon done for them. Animation, transparency, whatever. If you have a specific picture in mind, please send it along as well. For animation, please specify what you want animated, it depends on whether I actually have the file or not, though. Anyone after the fifth person is still free to make requests, but you'll be on my waiting list and probably won't get it until next week or the week after.
gnutmeg: (mod)
She still lives... but she's in such a mood that she is considering dropping out of the icon making race... the problem with an artist is that they're always reaching for something better, but once you get to a certain point, there is no 'better' and you're left with a hollow bitterness within. She's starting to think she may have reached this peak with het icons... she needs to find new inspiration, new ideas... not the same drudgery again and again.

nutmeg wants her icons to be different.

That being said, anyone who waits in anticipation of nutmeg's next set may be seeing some rather odd things over the next while. nutmeg is entering into yet another experimental stage. It will make the icons better in the long haul... but for now they will be odd and unusual.


And apologies to anyone that cares not for icons, but nutmeg has nothing better to talk about currently.
