Your sigs are really pretty! And that icon is hilarious I love it!
Wow fifteen years. I've been doing this since 2006 and already sounds like a long journey.

Thanks!

I think I started making icons in late 2004/early 2005, but then didn't post any until a year later. Of course looking back they were horrible, but I guess we all have to start somewhere. *g*

Yessss starts are tough! Don't get me started on my layouts... they were very horrid at first hahaha! To be honest, I don't even know how I got so far into this hobby! I guess I just got the call, as with icons etc ^^

I think it took a few months before I learned what aspect ratio was and why you should lock it when you resize an image...

Honestly, as bad as those first attempts were, it was fun making them, and I guess that's why I stuck with it.

Many of my earliest try with icons are totally disastrous ! Urrgghh I cringe now looking at them. I messed up with sharpening and went over board with textures , without knowing how to properly use them in a small canvas like icons first.
Thank God since then I've gotten better at it. Still long way to go.
