making light textures

making grunge or scratch textures
6 (46.2%)

coloring icons
7 (53.8%)

something else which I will tell you about in comments
2 (15.4%)

Feel free to suggest something else in comments. I am in a graphic mood instead of writing mood, and I want to do SOMETHING helpful.

Also, if you want to request an icon, I will open up this post to do that, too. Just link me to a good quality pic and tell me what text (if any) you want. Will also do text-only icons. :)

Colouring is probably the bit I like best about icon making and I'm always interested in hearing how others do it.

I don't know anything about icon making so I shan't vote but I will love you forever if you can make me an icon with either this picture or this picture :D?

LOL, I'm a dork, I love talking about graphics, I could have pages and pages of dicussions about how/why I do things in my icons/graphics.

By which I mean, whatever you want, I will read it!
