Information & introduction. [31 Dec 2008|11:59pm]
[ mood | creative ]
[ music | Only A Lad; by Oingo Boingo ]

This is my icon journal. If you would like to add my personal journal, that is [info]xhellsfirex or you can find my image archive journal at [info]hfimages.
(Also, don't be alarmed by someone other than [info]hficons replying to your comment. I tend to use my personal journal as well to reply to comments if I am already logged in to that account and am reviewing comments left for this journal in my e-mail.)

For the most part I create graphics by musicians and authors that I enjoy. I also make the occasional texture set if I find I really enjoy the effect of something I've made. If you are a fan of any of the artists on my Last.fm charts, or if you are a fan of post-modern, minimalist, and/or generally strange literature often focusing on drug use, artists, psychopaths, serial killers, philosophy, dysfunction and alienation: my graphics may be of interest to you.

The majority of the resources incorporated in my icons are self-created. The creators of the other graphics that I utilize (or at least the ones that I remember) are linked to in my resources. If you see that I have made use of your textures, brushes, gradients, etcetera and have not listed a link to you it is because I have forgotten where I got them from. Leave a comment and I will add your link to the resource list.

Tutorial: Quality Repair [19 Apr 2007|08:28pm]

I'm really starting to get sick of seeing people post shitty quality icons in icon communities that for some reason receive mindless praise. So sick and tired, in fact, that I am going to roughly demonstrate how to make an icon look a little less like shit!

Some of you might say “I can't learn while I'm being insulted!”, but (insults aside) if you have a decent program this isn't a very difficult thing to do at all. In fact, all it takes is minimal Paint Shop/Photoshop experience, eyes and hands to do this.
