I really should stop...

[shallanelprin]

joining icon contest communities. I blame this solely on abrynne. She kept post about them, so I joined movie_stillness, entered a couple of contests, have yet to win but I'm having fun.

So in the last week I've joined:
scifi_stillness
buffy_stillness
hp_stillness
snape_stillness
stargate_still
starwars_stills
sw_lims (just watching this round, intend to participate in the next)
james_stillness
rickman_stills

Now all I have to do is sit down and get with the icon making. Oh dear.

Edit: Seriously, stop me now. Now joined and participating in chosen_lims

um... I don't want to sound stupid, but how do you make icons? I mean, what programs or whatever do you use? I've made a few icons before in the photoeditor on my computer, but it's not a very good program for icons and the icons are just plain and nothing great. any advice would be appreciated. :)

and wow!- won't you be busy making icons for a while! ;)

I use Photoshop, some people use PaintShopPro. You add texture, text, sometiems color. Tutorials are the best way to go for a beginner.

Yep, I'll be very, very busy :)
