Multi-Fandom Icons
May. 22nd, 2009 11:03 amIt's been forever since I've posted icons so I'm taking the opportunity. Some of these are a bit backdated but I know I haven't posted them here yet so they're new for you!
Granted, I haven't been able to do as many lately but I'm trying to get back into it. I miss it and I know I need to keep working at it to find that technique that just works for me. But in the mean time, the learning has been fun :)
I just wish my Photoshop would stop acting strangely. Yesterday, I tried doing 14 pt Times on a 100 x 100 icon and it looked as tiny as 1 pt font. I had to do like 350 pt font just to make it show up....sigh...I'm sure I'll get the problem figured out eventually.

Plus you can tweak the color on the photo before inserting it into the photoshop file. Everybody wins.
