why does everyone who makes graphics thinks their work is horrible??!?!?! anyway.. Tonnie.. for doing this for 3 months... you're exceptionally good at it! not only do u have and eye for coloring and texture, ur cropping is down pat!! the only things i would suggest is not overly coloring them, don't go crazy w/ the sharpening tool and work on your manip cutting. Tip: save your graphics as .png files instead of .jpg format, they'll look better. overall i'd give this icon/sig dump a 10/10! keep up the good work Tonnie!

Don't feel so bad about your graphics. *hugs* They're good, the only thing I'd tell you is not have so much going on in the icons. For sigs, lots of textures is good. Not so much for icons. But for 3 months experience, I'd have to say you're doin' great. ;]

For me, these icons and sigs are EPIC. Awesome is not enough to talk about them!

Wow.. people love me! *feels special* Aanglover: LOL, thanks! I know, I go way OVERBOARD with textures. I'm trying to learn how to restrain myself from using those pretty little thangs. XD And if you right click, a good amount of my stuff are PNG files. It's just I make most of these for ASN, and they have strict filesize limits... so I sometimes have to save them as JPEG files to keep it under a certain limit. Thanks for your compliments! And it's in my nature to put myself down! @taintedmushroom: You're not the first to tell me I go overboard with textures. XD I kind of always liked the "over-textured" look. But I've been trying to restrain myself from using too many textures at once. ;D The ironic thing is, I don't use too many textures in my sigs. ;D aurawind: Thanks so much! You make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside! *huggles*

Yeah. I agree. They are REALLY amazing, but you can lay off on most of, if not all, textures and brushes. I like your bright and vibrant style, and you have a great eye for fonts. For three months of working in Photoshop, they are magnificent! Keep it up.

@akash: *sniff* You mean... all of my textures? I can't make an icon without placing at least one texture (I rarely use brushes though XD). I have an addiction to those pretty little textures. The only times I make simple icons are when I decide to focus on the coloring alone. Thanks for dropping by, and I'll get counseling for my texture problems!
