and because cap galleries used to have the helpful random-caps feature.

omg I'd forgotten about those! I've just been capping myself for years, but yeah, that used to be a thing!

Is it an eternal struggle to not hate your icons (based on the great stuff others make) or can you grow out of it?

Aww I'm sorry you feel that way :( I'm grateful to be completely laid-back when it comes to most of my icons. (I'll usually only push myself if I'm entering an icontest or if a rare mood strikes) My extremely low bar for posting a batch is if I have six decent ones to put outside the cut lol.

If it's a particular effect you're wanting to learn, don't be afraid to ask the maker though. Most are happy to help! (or look for old tuts)

Aw, that's nice, but my problem isn't the technical side. I just forgot my process for making creative icons.
