Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

I'm about to send mine right now. I was going to ask whether brushes are allowed, but I see that you've already answered that, so thanks. I'm relieved that I did it how you said. :eek:
 
Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

No offense, but I don't think this is a clever idea because what makes a photoshopper an 'expert' is the way they handle the coloring, which is impossible without using layers. I don't think we will see any really good icons from the viewpoint of the coloring.
Of course, it's not only the coloring, but the cropping and many more things.
I don't want to be offensive, really, since loadsa people like the idea. I'm going to skip this.
 
Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

Respectfully, I disagree. There is more to icons than the colouring. And even so, you can work with the colouring even without layers. I found ways.

But you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that.
 
Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

Well I completely respect your opinion, but I just started using layers recently, and even before that I was able to make (what I thought were) pretty decent icons, and with a variety. What about brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, and color variations? I don't know what program you use but in mine (PS) there are tons of ways to color and icon and layers are only one of them. :) Sorry if anyone found this challenge a problem, but that's why it's optional and a challenge.

*sigh* Anyway, no more icons please, I'll have voting up soon.
 
Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

i think this challange is a great idea! it shows if you are able to make good icons without using layers. i discovered new ways to edit a picture and i think you can see it as good practice. it might be difficult for some of us but i am really excited to see the results :)
 
Re: Icon Challenge - Restrictions

I agree, If anything it would make you more of an expert to be able to be creative, innovative and resourceful. I mean its not something I would recommend to someone who just got there first photo program 1 day before, but i think,like people said, it expands your icon making skills.

Kinda tortured me though, i just got my photoshop a week ago and it was killing me to not get to use it to its full extent.
Anyways...
*is realy excited to see all the icons*

...quoth your joining this one? I am so losing.:lol:*sigh*
