fandom20in20If you have any question and/or suggestion in regards to the community, feel free to comment in this post.
If your suggestion is about themes, go here; and if you have any first doubt about claims check here... this post is for all that doesn't fit in any other post. You're also welcomed to PM me if you prefer to do so but I thought that any doubt that one user might have could solve a future user's question and thus this space.

Date: 2010-04-27 02:59 pm (UTC)Hm. There's a graphic_tutorial comm I joined yesterday, but I'm not sure if there's a specific icon_tutorial comm. *goes to look * Oh. Okay, so there's a comm. It has one member, who created it, and that journal is deleted... I wonder if there's a way to do something about that... I'd be happy to moderate that comm.

Date: 2010-04-27 05:42 pm (UTC)interesting, I tend to keep all the psp files and I just tend to play with curves and lighting/contrast/saturation layers, sometimes I add text but I'm not a big fan of my text icons so I don't make *that* many, I force myself to do them but yeah =/
let me see if I find out something, if not I will let you know and we can go for icon_tutorials but considering similarity of names I think it might be better if there was only one so there was no confusion (of course once someone looks a bit into it there wouldn't but still... I'm bit picky on that stuff XD)

Date: 2010-04-27 06:02 pm (UTC)Text I still have a love/hate relationship with. When it works, I love it. When it doesn't... oh do I ever hate it. It's a fight! But I keep fighting it, too.
That's what I was thinking -- I wanted the name that was easiest to find! The one that's pretty instinctive and expected, and I think having the other one could get confusing. Hopefully there is someone to ask who can help!

Date: 2010-04-27 06:36 pm (UTC)I think if you spend the time on an artistic crop as opposed to one just designed to show face and expression, and if any masking is done at all, anything other than simple light/color, then it counts as artsy. For me, I think I define that as anything I spend more than a minute or two on as artsy. :)
Maybe we should just go with icontutorial so we can set it up properly from the start? I'd had to start asking people to join a comm when we can't put up a proper profile for it, or edit any of its properties or anything, y'know what I mean?
It should also be a good place for resources, like posts about fonts, places to get brushes and masks, things like that, maybe? Because for me, that's a big part of what I need when making icons, finding all those silly little things that let me play with it in the hunt of the happy accidents.
Your bouncing elephant keeps distracting me... boing... boing... boing...

Date: 2010-04-27 06:56 pm (UTC)that's a good idea, do you want to create it and then add me as co-mod or do you want me to do that? & yes I totes know what you mean & agree.
resources posts - THAT IS GREAT. I would suggest we made the sticky post one that is a masterlist of the resources posts, that way when more resources pop up in time they can be added over to the masterlist and be handy for people to get to.
lol. i love that icon, it's not by me, i saw it on lj and i was like 'up... down... up... down...' and after a bit I shook my head and said I must snag this! so I did XD

Date: 2010-04-27 07:06 pm (UTC)I'll go create it and add you. Then we need to get info onto the profile, make the sticky post (love that idea for the resources) and get at least one tutorial posted so we have something in it and can advertise it? We totally need people to come post things too. :)
And YES that's how I was looking at that icon. It's... distracting! *laughs*
