intro;
name: Jamie
age: 29
program used: Photoshop 7.0



things i make the most icons out of: BtVS (like a lot), stock, actors/actress who were on BtVS, Olsen twins, Backstreet Boys, Harry Potter (movies & actors), & stuff from the 1990's.
things i plan on making icons out of in the future: all sorts. I want to try doing Disney, movies, & more icons generated from screencaps (I tend to use promos). I'm also trying to get into sports more.
favorite thing to icon: Buffy & photoshoots of various actresses. I really like to icon headshots for some reason.
favorite type of icon (textless, text, stock, ani, etc):TEXTLESS!! I suck at text, there you go. I do try but I usually fail at it.
biggest pet peeve when it comes to icons: random blobs in people's faces or when I can't get an icon to look just right.
my top 20 favorite icons i've made: In no particular order so far in 2010. Picked March 7, 2010.


favorite icon related communities: ridinxdirty, crownedroyals & pretty much everything in my user info. I'll update this later.
favorite makers: jane948, quiddity_, wrecklessly, so_severus, tomorrow_brings, phuck, elena_hepburn, angiescully, trutdelamode, & pointblankdarcy are who I can think of off the top of my head.
