My icons through 2007-2009

[apologizeg]

I thought I'd do this kinda icon-spam sorta thing. I wanted to see the "evolution" of my icons from the two-three last years. 2007-ish are icons that I'm not quite sure when I made. And also, please remember, the quality wasn't quite that bad, because you know, JPEG+Photobucket+time=DOOM. And I couldn't really find any icons from January to April 2008. So there's a big jump there, sorry about that. And I couldn't find any from August 2008 either.
But I hope the ones I found will do :) I've been working on it almost all day!


2007-ish






Hearts and unfitting text, yay.

May 08



PSD-onslapping, fantastic.

I think I might finally have gotten the hang of it there.

Trying to be a little more creative.

Oct 09



Wow, I haven't thought about how colorful they are.

Nov 09



Maybe I started to have a distinct style?

Dec 09



I like how diffrent from eachother they look.

It would be awesome if you could tell me which ones are your favourites, and why. (:
You can just snag any of the icons if you wanna, just credit.

i really love the november 09 stuff! especially the second one in the second row!

[apologizeg]

Well, thank you!

[megaminerva.livejournal.com]

This is so awesome, posts like these are always really cool to look at. I like the third one in the second row from December 09, the whole thing just looks really perfect.
lmfao, i remember the coloring from May 08; I think there may still be a .psd lying around on my comp about it, haha.

[apologizeg]

Hah, I like posts like these too. :P
Thank you!
Yeah, I used it on alot. Blue hair + orange skin = WIN. Not. Oh, the Selective Coloring abuse. x)

[setentpet.livejournal.com]

wow you have improved greatly. you have very lovely 2009 icons! really like to see your texture use get better. i still can't for the life of me use textures in a flattering way. lol.

[apologizeg]

Hah, thanks! Well, you see how long time it took me, and I'm still not that good. :P

[apologizeg]

Haha, yes. I think I might have gotten the inspiration from MCO. :P

Thank you!

[verou.livejournal.com]

Really love your improve and your style!!
Your coloring is really gorgeous now! ^^'

Nice think to do! Maybe I'll try... I'm not sure if I want to see my icon from 2008 again! lol! XD

[apologizeg]

Aww, thanks sweetie!

You should do it!

[chacusha]

I don't think your icons from Dec '08 are all that bad. :P I like the Mulan one at least, and the texture use is pretty interesting.

You've definitely improved over time, though! They definitely become more unique and varied. I like the first two in Nov '09 and all the Disney ones from Aug '09, especially the Belle one. :)

[apologizeg]

Hah, well, thank you so much!

[bella-fox.livejournal.com]

Wow, it's fun seeing how much you improved over time. :)

[apologizeg]

Hah, thanks!

[selline-s.livejournal.com]

[apologizeg]

Lol, thank you!

[ox-piecesofme.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh freaking wicked! i love looking back and thinking I have made some improvement but, yours is seriously famazing. i possibly will snag a few ;)

Holy cow. Sweetie, you are too kind! Thank you soo much!
And you're not that bad. :)

[ox-piecesofme.livejournal.com]

[tiffymoo.livejournal.com]

Big improvement! My faves are icons from 2009! :D pretty obvious answer, eh?

[apologizeg]

Thank you so much, sweetie! Hah, I hope so. :P

[apologizeg]

Thank you!

Yeah, I like them better than the December 09 ones aswell. :P
Thanks!

[apologizeg]

Thank you, again!

[tilottamaa.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is really impressive! You've improved so much! I wish I could make as much progress as you did. I'm a big fan of your icons. Bravo!

[apologizeg]

Aww, thank you! You are too sweet!

[neonspider]

Oh wow, what improvement! I love posts like these. I think you started getting quite good as early as November 08 (yeah, the coloring looks odd now, but I recall that being a big hit back then and at least yours were well executed, unlike the majority lol :D). November 09 was where you got REALLY awesome, and yet this post still lacks all the superb stuff you make these days. Just out of curiosity, is there a similar post for 2010 and 2011? I'd love to see how the progress continued! :P

[apologizeg]

Thank you so much! I'm not sure if I agree with you, though. :P
There is, here, :)
