Activity #45 - Happy New Year

[tinny]

Oookay, the majority of participants in our little poll voted for doing progression posts and remakes first. So here we go!

1) ICON PROGRESSION

Tell us what icons you made this last year, select the best/the most extraordinary/the most representative, and tell us about them.

Tell us about your progress, your fandoms, your ideas and techniques. What changed over the course of the year?

If you want, you can make resolutions about your iconmaking: what you would like to do this year, techniques you want to try, goals you want to achieve.

There are quite a few progression posts from the previous years by now, in which you can look for ideas how to go about it:

( more examples and layout code links )

* You can post your progression/resolution posts as new posts directly to this comm
* If you post(ed) a progression post to your journal, you can make a new post here and link to your journal
* If you have more than 5 icons in your post, put them under a cut
* Note: you must be a member of this community to be able to post

Deadline: any time you want! These things take time. Post them to the community any time you like!

2) ICON REMAKES

The LJ version of the bestof_icons remake activity is in December, and over already, but abyss_valkyrie also suggested remakes as an activity the last time I asked, so we're just doing it again now!

* Leave a comment in the thread below and link your icon posts/tag/comm
* People can choose icons for you to remake (2 or 3 is a good amount)
* You can also choose icons for yourself to remake
* They must pick an icon that you made some time in 2020
* How you choose to remake it is up to you. You can use the same cap, the same kind of crop or color scheme, the same emotion you were going for. It is up to you to define what "remake" means!
* Feel free to explain your thought process when you post the icons

Deadline: January 23rd 2021 - I will make a roundup post for the remakes - but of course you can do them later, too, if you can't finish them in three weeks. No pressure. <3

3) ICON FEEDBACK/CONCRIT

A new addition this year: when this comm was new, there was a concrit/feedback thread on every post, but it wasn't used by many people, so I stopped making them. In case you do miss getting feedback on your icons, there's a concrit/feedback thread in this post again!

Have fun, and be nice!
