Thank you thank you thank youuuu <33
And are you kidding me about 6, seriously I was looking at your latest icon post yesterday and saw this icon and thought "damn it, now that Hurley icon I made looks like crap in comparison to that". :P
Btw, can I ask how you make the text "running" pop like that? I keep trying to e.g. duplicate the text and put the first one in a darker color and slightly to the side and down, but it just ends up looking silly and crowded. :/

I tried to icon may different characters, but there are still so many more uuggh. Sayid, Claire, Jin, Richard, Charlie +++ :P

OFC I'M NOT KIDDING, 6 IS PERFECT :3 but I'm really happy to hear you like that Jack icon, thanks so much! as for your question, I'm pretty sure I just used the basic 'copy of text with a darker color underneath the main text layer' thing so basically what you described. It does sometimes look silly and weird, I guess it depends a lot on the colors and size and font and everything.... I wish I could give better advice but seriously I'm no text expert, I have no idea what I'm doing with it most of the time :')

Ikr, Lost has a billion great characters. You'd think that in such a huge cast nobody would stand out and it would be too much, but it never was, everyone had their own distinct personality.

Yeah, text is difficult!
I need some new fonts, do you remember which ones you used in that Jack icon? :3

Yes, I always save my psds so anytime you want to know about a texture or a font etc feel free to ask :>
In the Jack icon, the tiny text is Arial Black and 'running' is in Academic M54. (and I also checked the answer to your earlier question and yep, it was a basic duplicate layer)
