Death has not overtaken me. Life continues to throb through each and every portal of my body. And now I have once again decided to return to my land of icons.
In simple words... I am back. Slightly.
It will not be the same as before. I no longer have an animator or a good photo-shopping program . I do not remember or know anything about what programs are good, and it has been so long since I have been out of touch that I doubt any memories I do manage to recall will be useless. So, if you were to have any ideas... I would embrace them warmly... but not necessarily completely. I am not looking to dedicate my life to this project, just a few moments of spare time. But I would accept any nominations or donations of products that would be deemed acceptable for use.
I feel the need to come back for my fellow community members. During my leave of absence, this community has swelled and reached an epoch number of members. I don't really know what to think or say. All I can express is my gratefulness, as well as my wish to not disappoint. Therefore... I have returned.
In order to fully prove and ratify my return, I have prepared a select few icons to celebrate the occasion. This is obviously not my best work, coming back from such a long reprieve. Most people may not understand or even like them; however, it is my opinion that matters. These are very important to me, because they represent parts of the novel I am in the middle of conjuring. However, I do feel they can be generally aesethic, which is why I am unveiling them to you.
Another quick point to interject - My personal belief about icon-making is that in order for an icon to be original, it must come completely from its creator's mind. This means that I do not believe in using other peoples photos, poetry or prose, or stock in order to comprise an image. By doing this, I feel an icon is not really worthy to be called a unique creation. It is just a picture that someone else brought into existence with a lyric from some band - there is no creative initiative in this. It is a completely posed process, and is something anyone with no sense can complete. Here, in this community, I try to produce such fiendish work. If you look back, most of the photos I have used for my icons are photos from my own camera, and solely belong to me. Because of this, the icons I have created are solely and totally mine, and I believe that is the way it should be.
So now... without further ado... The revealing of icons that have been two years in the making...
