Icon Post #23 -- Models and Text

6 new icons in one evening. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the newly repaired air conditioning and play with Photoshop, you know?

Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.

Icon Post #21 -- Miscellaneous

Another 5 new icons! Hell yeah, I'm on a roll lately! Most of these started with textual inspiration and an image search (thank you, Google and Flickr), as opposed to browsing through my gigantic folder of saved model images. I quite like the variety here!

Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.

Icon Post #16 -- Creating Icons without Textual Inspiration

Still catching up, this batch marked a return to icon-making about 6 months ago. I had to reteach myself all the techniques I'd forgotten I knew, resulting in an extremely mixed bag. These 6 icons are made from images of celebrities and models. The really surprising aspect is that only one features text--whether in the image or in my inspiration for the image manipulation.

Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.

Icon Post #1 -- Gift Icons

I've been making icons for a couple of years now. I originally started with GIMP but graduated to Photoshop CS2 after almost a year. Because I am self-taught, it was also nearly a year before I gained enough confidence to begin using or showing my icons to anyone.

In the past year or so, I've enjoyed the challenge of purposefully making icons at the request of--or as gifts for--others. Here are the gift icons I've made. They may not to be used without permission of the recipient.
