July 1st means it's time for round 9 of Ask the Maker here at Imageicon_talk!

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions related their work so these makers can create a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As always, .PSD files will not be allowed.

NEW in 2017 - ASK EVERYONE!
This is a new addition in 2017, with it's own thread in the comments where you can ask everyone general questions about iconmaking. Or you're wondering about a certain technique and the makers of the icons you have as examples are no longer on LJ, you can post those icons and ask for tips on how to achieve it (DO NOT ask for a complete recreation like the same image, crop). You can ask for texture, font, text recommendation and icon inspiration (credit the makers) and anything else you can think of. Everyone who wants to, can ask and answer and contribute to the conversations in this thread.

You can link to already made tutorials, you can write tutorials (again, do not completely recreate other peoples icons) and you can write your tips and tricks out in the comments, or just carry out conversations sharing your opinions, techniques and advice about all things icon making.

This whole thread will be added to the master list with all the other specific tutorials made by the signed up makers.

There is no pressure, you don't have to sign up, you can answer all the questions you want. Both signed up makers and other can leave questions and answer them here. Hopefully this will be fun and spark some conversations and maybe you'll make some new friends as well!

If you have any questions for me, the mod about this, ask them in the questions thread at the top of the comments section.

Image

And here's the regular Ask The Maker:

Please make sure you read though the rules below, before you comment.
I'm a maker and I want to sign up.Collapse )
I want to request tutorials/Ask a question.Collapse )

Please pimp your thread!



Post any questions as a reply to the first comment below.

I will start compiling the results into a master post in about a month or so.

Have fun!

Just a reminder for the makers that signed up for latest Ask The Maker here at Imageicon_talk! If you have not already posted the links to all the tutorials you have written, to your thread, please do so, HERE.

That way the masterlist will be complete and all the tutorials written will be in one place and easily accessible to everyone.

If you're unsure if you posted the links or not, check out the master list. If your tutorials are not listed there, you have not posted the links.

Image

The masterlist has been continually updated, so go check it out if you missed it.

There will be another Ask The Maker here in June/July 2016, so keep an eye out for that.

It's almost 2016 and I'm still wondering where the year has gone!  Just like last year, I wanted to see all the icon progression posts in one spot and I think that this is the 4th year there have been progression posts on this comm!  Seriously, where has the time gone?!?

I loved seeing the icon progression posts last year and since we've passed 2014 and moved into 2015 and there hasn't been a post yet, I wanted to create a masterpost of all the wonderful icon roundups this year, similarly as Imagerocketgirl2 did last year.

To participate, simply leave a comment with the link to your progression post located elsewhere on the web.  If you don't want to make a progression at your journal, you can do a mini progression in the comments.

I was contacted a couple of months ago by a few people asking if there is going to be a new round of "Ask the Maker" this year. And yes, there is!

Like last year, I decided to host it in July, so that means, round 6 of "Ask the Maker" will kick of in 4 days, on July 1st 2014. So, if there's anything you would like to ask your favorite icon makers, you have this weekend to prepare and get your questions written and/or icons examples saved and ready for this Tuesday!

Happy weekend!

I really enjoyed seeing everyone's progression posts when I made this post last year, so here is version II!  Whether you've made about two icons this year (like me) or 2000, I hope you will share your year with us so we can celebrate 12 months of pretties together. :)

Since September is almost over, I thought it'd be nice to do another one of these. :) You can find the other two from this year here and here.

 
 
 
22 September 2013 @ 04:04 pm
Internet issues resolved, sort of. The last icons I made were done on my sister's computer, the one with PS Elements 4 and the screen from hell... The one that was my favourite actually placed third at Imagenexticon which gave me a little boost. Looking forward to making more icons and be part of a more or less active icon community with a positive atmosphere. :)

So, how's your day? Making any icons, any great icon activities or icon journals/communities you'd like to share with us, anything else related to icons?

Well, it seems we're now midway through this year, so it seems about time for another icon progress meme. Feel free to skip any questions you don't care to answer, and if you wanna elaborate on your faves or least faves, go right ahead!

 
 
19 May 2013 @ 09:46 pm
Recently this quote has been on my mind, mostly due to work-related things. Coming back to the icon community it also caries a lot of meaning. In the past I've had several accounts and made icons under different names especially when coming out of an hiatus, because there are these expectations that come with being a relatively known maker and being able to start again with a clean slate and just make icons for the hell of it, is incredibly liberating.

(This lead me to think about why I like making icons. Like a lot of my hobbies it's something that is relatively simple to do, keeps me occupied and results in something pretty.)

Anyway, I guess this whole post is kind of sparked by the whole 'the icon community' is dying and all that... Should we be more brave and instead of talking about 'the old days', actually do something about it, remember what we liked about making icons and... make icons? IDK Any and all thoughts welcome.

A friending meme was requested at Imageanon_icon and since the anon who said they'd post one wasn't able to, here it is. Fill it out, pimp it out and then interact with each other and find some fronds! Feel free to delete any questions you don't feel like answering or even add your own! :)

FILL IT OUT:

Hi fellow icon makers, it's 4 four months into 2013, and so I thought I would do a sort of progress meme things as we had one similar last year plus it would be nice to get some conversation going in this comm. So explain your favourite icons & techniques you have made, managed and loved also your worse and your areas for improvement

Please fill out this handy form :)
