prisca created a new community:


icon_promptly


This community is created for icon lovers. It's low-pressure; you can jump in anytime to leave or fill prompts. There is no final date! Sign-up is not necessary, but I would recommend subscribing to the comm.

There will be three main posts every week:
Monday - Fandom/Real Person Icons
Wednesday - Stock Icons
Friday - Make a Wish

If you're curious now, check out the community and maybe start prompting or creating right away.

I've been meaning to post the new activity this weekend, but time got away from me. I had thought of making it a Valentine's Day inspired challenge, but then scrapped the idea again because there are already two of those running, if you want to have a go at that theme:


ships20in20 - The themes post actually says "This new round is a inspire challenge like the communities monthlyinspo and icontalking" <3<3<3

ships20in20 round 5

and

fandom10in30 - Hearts and Flowers

fandom10in30 round 62



If you still want to post a progression post, feel free to do so, that is open ended. (I still haven't finished my own, either.) I will try and get our next activity up sometime this week.

icontalking current round

I'll be busy today rounding up the icon quest and starting the new round at retro_icontest, so I'll keep the Rainbow Mystery Box challenge here open for another week. Not everyone who got a box has submitted icons yet. So you now still have another week to submit what you have. A single icon is enough to participate.
New deadline: January 23.

icontalking next round

Our next round here at icontalking will be the yearly review round. It will be exactly like in previous years, so if you want to look back on how your iconmaking year 2025 went, you can start thinking about that and start writing your progression post if you like. I will start that next round sometime this week.

bestof_icons

In the meantime, the deadline for icon nominations at bestof_icons has been extended until January 18! If you haven't nominated icons for everyone yet, you can still do so HERE! I'll definitely try and fit this in tomorrow.

I've been extremely busy this past month, maybe you've been the same...

This year, we've had six makers sign up, but this is the first time that we've had no requests at all.

If you'd like to use the opportunity now to ask one of the makers something, you're welcome to do so.

Here's the post: https://icontalking.dreamwidth.org/94046.html

If you're a maker who'd really like to write a guide or a tutorial, how about you pick the icon you've made (maybe this year? or in the last 12 months?) that you yourself find the most interesting and write a tutorial about it to share with us. I for one am always happy to read guides and tutorials.

I will leave the round open for another week and then move on to the next activity.

If you want to make icons instead, our list is up to date, and the waterfall round is still open until then, too.

The mod of anon_icon has asked me to make a promo post. In case you didn't know it existed, there is a community for anonymous talk about icons here: anon_icon

If you'd rather talk unanonymously, you can do so here in this comm. :) I would like some more concrit and "last icon you made" posts, but they were never really popular here. If anyone else misses them, we can revive them. (Would someone be interested in being responsible for those? Then we can make them independent of the activities I usually post here.)

I'd be happy to see more talking at icontalking. <3

It's baaaaaack!
