Made that lemming icon.



Also made another attempt at the Pevensies icon I've been trying to do (old version of PC was too low-rez. Got the DVDs, tried again. Still not sure I like it...)

Making icons is hard! What program are you using? It looks like the colors could use a little lightening.

A lot of things could use tweaking, I think. (PSP X3, btw.) I may surrender the attempt; the shot in question does NOT reduce neatly to a square and I'm still not happy with the resolution, which limits what I can do to the thing without making it a pixelated mess.

I like what snacky did down there! Yeah, it is hard to fit that one into a square - sometimes I just give in and make a non-square icon, or fill in the extra space with a block of color, or something. it's been a while since I made icons but I really like it.

Do either of these work better for you?

Oh, hey, lightening it does make a huge difference! Thanks - I think I will still play with it more, but I am DEFINITELY going to try that!

Make sure you pump up the contrast! :D

That's a hard shot, because it's so wide and so far, you're not going to get a lot of detail on it.

Yeah, I've been struggling with it. I am wondering if capping a zoom might help? Something to try.
