Thought about putting this behind a cut, but won't.
So... didn't get into
icon_crack. No prob. No biggie. Didn't actually think I'd get in 'cause I've been making icons, for what... not even two months.
I don't mind that at all. And the mods were really cool with their comments, they even liked some of my icons. No issue with them.
This rant... well, it's not even a rant, it toes the border of rant and backs away, toes it again and backs away again... it's about the icons.
I like my icons. I, like a narcissistic gal that I am, love my icons. Well, most of them, 'cause even I can admit some are really shitty.
But some of the icons other people entered and were accepted for... well... didn't really float my boat. Didn't think some of them would get in, and they did.
So, I'm thinking... no, not that's they're bias, not that... that this is a style thing. I didn't like the style of some of the icons that were posted. I don't use the style of those icons. Some by people that have been doing this for a long time. And I'm thinking those icons could be/are popular. So {if a = b, then b = a} my style, in general, isn't. I have nothing against that.
It won't keep me from making icons. I love to. I'll be a little down tonight, but fuck it. I know I'm the greatest, so yay for me.

like I said, I'm not down (well, I did have a good "oh my God, why me?!" sob <----- really just kidding... hehehe). Like I said, I ::heart:: you guys for being totally honest, in a cool way, and I know I wasn't the only one turned down. Also, mostly did it for the fb, knowing I'm too new at this to be considered elite. Again, like I said on the post: "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
I posted on icon_crack for me, 'cause I'm not the type to say never, I can't or I won't try.
Really really don't feel bad about this post, I love you lots 'cause you like Rock!
Again, I just realized that this is about style and tastes and eye of the beholder. What one person likes is not necesarily what others do. I'm kinda weird in my tastes (everyone who knows me, knows that)... and I guess that reflects on my icons and my tastes in icons.
