I've been entering a few icontests lately: sgwomen_itest, sgmen_itest, and sga_icontest:

1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.
7. 8.

#1 won first place at sgwomen_itest Week #7 - Textless Challenge
#4 won first place at sgwomen_itest Week #9 - Pictures Challenge
#5 won mod's choice in sga_icontest Challenge #131 - The No Son Of Mine Chronicles

And apparently I'm this week's critic for Challenge #132 at sga_icontest!

I needed an 'up' after the last few days. It's not much, but it'll have to do.

Pretty icons! :)

Thanks!

I find it rather funny that the ones I liked least are the ones that actually won stuff. My taste is clearly up the creek without the proverbial paddle!

Number six is very cute!

Thanks! That one shot really did look like Torran is going, "ooh, boy toy! me want!"

What computer program do you use to make icons?

[tielan]

Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. But most people I know use one of the Photoshops. I've tried Photoshop CS, but I'm so used to PSP that using PS is difficult for me.

Honestly, I find it's less the program that's used and more the techniques that are used to create the icons. Once you have the basics of the techniques, making icons is a lot easier.
