just pimping some fun icon activities!  
Wow, there are so many awesome icon activities and new comms and everything! I'm sure most of you already know of these things but I wanted to pimp them anyway:

[livejournal.com profile] bestof_icons has awesome activities, the best of which is of course voting for the best icon of the year from everyone who participates. There's still a little time to participate!

ICON REMAKE - JOIN IN! | MY THREAD







[livejournal.com profile] 10in30 is a new challenge comm that is exactly what it says on the tin - kinda like a 20in20, except a 10in30 :) so, perfect for makers like me who like to take their time with icons.
Here's the first challenge!




[livejournal.com profile] 20muses has the same basic idea with [livejournal.com profile] inspired20in20 and [livejournal.com profile] 20inspirations. It's an open for all comm but based on the first challenge looks refreshingly challenging and super inspiring! Wish I had time for this, but I'm already signed up for too many things... but I definitely intend to enter a round or two in the future :)





Also, one of my favorite challenge comms, [livejournal.com profile] technique20in20, is back. What I love about this comm is that there are no claims, you can icon anything for a single round, even make all icons from different fandoms if you like. It's more like a regular 20in20 than an inspiration 20in20, but with a twist that all the themes are technical and quite challenging too. I've already signed up. I just freaking love this comm. Perfect for makers who like to try and learn new techniques and iconing styles!




and then there are these [livejournal.com profile] icontalking awards. Personally all kinds of award thingies make me uncomfortable, because I don't really like to be compared to other makers tbh, but I know these things are super fun for lots of others and the organizer is a wonderful person who has put a lot of work into this with nothing but the best intentions, so I still wanted to advertise this activity too :)

Wow, you were fast! I'm super glad you are definitely going to make it, I'm always surprised at how quickly you can make your sets.
By 'varying quality' you must mean 'all of them are incredible' cause they always are. ♥

Tbh I'm not doing great - I've only just possibly finished 2, and started a few others... but I've made plans for and found caps for almost all of them so that should make it fairly easy to make the rest, I'm pretty sure I can make it. I was supposed to make a lot of icons this week but the icontalking friending meme has taken a surprising amount of time (it would have been lovely if you had participated too - there are so many interesting iconrelated topics discussed, and I would have loved to read your thoughts on them :) ). I'll try to make a lot of progress with my set this weekend.

Well, I spend about 2 hours every night making icons. :P

I hope you'll make it! :)

I'll check out the friending meme!
