    So today, I didn't know quite what to do. And I was looking at a lot of icons online for fun then decided to give making a few a shot. So here's my avatar dump for now! If I make more in the future, I suppose I'd dump them here too :3

    I don't really make avatars, but it's definitely fun so i'd like to try and improve on it n__n

    I adore the kitten one it's full of cuteness n_n But anyway I'm not very good at giving feedback but the first,third and fifth seem a bit plain to me but if you intended them to be that why then that's cool I guess. As for the rest I love the colours especially the last one, it really catches your eye. I would like to see more of your work. Good job o: Have you considered doing normal members avatars? I forget the size limit and I'm too lazy to go and check it.

    I just couldn't leave those kitties simply trolling in my pictures folder. I had to use them n___n
    Thank you for your words! I really appreciate it, I'm not too fond of those icons either. I wanted to change them some way but didn't quite know how... but simplicity can be a good thing~ But I still wish I could think something up for it, maybe I'll edit it sometime!
    Hm, I never really put it to thought cause I'm more into the 150px ones cause it's a bigger canvas but sure! Maybe I'll try making some 100px ones later, that is the standard size... right? x)

    Oh yes, you can never leave kittens out. I agree with you, simplicity can be a good thing sometimes. If you don't know what to do with it, look up some tutorials? There's bound to be some good ones somewhere or just try out the colouring etc? I think you're right with the standard size being 100px though.

    These a pretty good...
    All of them include a very strong focus and are very simple. The colour schemes are also very smooth especially in the 6th one.

    Just wondering, are you using a software like Photoshop or Gimp?

    That's a good idea! Honestly, why didn't I think of that? xD No really, I haven't thought of that. /shot I'm sure there are real nice ones out there, thanks again! n___n I think I'll try making 100px icons right now c:

    Oh! Thank you so much! I'm quite a fan of your graphics you know x)
    I use Photoshop CS4 for these~ c:

    Yes! Photoshop CS4 for the win! c:
    Haha, nah. I don't use that because I honestly do not get that tool :'D
    Should I be using it? Cause if so, I'd happily do some research right now x)

    These are gorgeous <3 2nd, 4th and 5th are my favourites.

    As for whether you should be playing with curves or not, its entirely up to you, its about what you're confident with etc.

    However, they can be a really great tool, I use them a lot when I'm editing my photos, if you're serious about going with editing in general then I'd suggest looking into at least. Even if you decide you're better off not playing with them, at the very least you'll know more about it and expand your knowledge.

    Thank you CtR, I'm glad you like them - really! :'D
    I am definitely going to give that tool a shot after researching it tomorrow. I know a tiny bit on the curve tool, like what it generally does but I doubt I'll ever use it right at this moment. I'm starting to get really tired so I wrote it on my planner alongside my future homework list so I won't forget c:

    Oh, oh. And I tried out making 100px icons! Here they are~
    I was going to make more but I'm sleepy now - u -

    vrgfnbkgtnbjgtnbjtnb; I LOVE THESE ;____; I adore the colors. I think you did better with these ones really, I hope that don't sound mean D: I just like smaller canvas, I think it allows you to pay attention and stuff. Mind if I use one or two of them? Good job again

    The cats, the spunk one, and the last one are my favs. I think I might steal the cats eventually too.

    Your style is great and unique. I love how you always make your avis. X)

    Ahaha, they do seem to turn out better than the first ones x)
    I'm so glad you like them! You don't sound mean at all, opinions should be respected c: I do agree with the smaller canvas thing, I like how the lines turn out more.
    If you'd really like to, sure! Hoorah! That made me happy, heeheederp. <3

    Ahaha! Thank you so much! n___n And as for the kitty avatar, by all means - GO AHEAD. 8D
    Awwww, yay~ Maybe I'll make them more often while I take breaks from homeworks and stuff or procrastinate.
