enamouredWhen I get home (and do some homework), I am so going to work on setting up a community. Yeah.
Is it just me, or are some icon communities exceptionally... obnoxious about credit? I joined one at GJ and they're like, "THESE ICONS ARE NOT YOURS SO YOU MUST CREDIT DEMMIT". Um, hi. I understand the wanting to be credited bit kinda... but really. Icons are just pixels on a computer screen. IT IS NOT TANGIBLE. If you actually printed an average 100x100 icon, it's approximately 1" by 1". If you wanted to be fancy, you could print it on nice paper and make stickers. THEY ARE NOT THAT BIG OF AN EFFING DEAL, PEOPLE. Last time I checked, making icons wasn't like, oh, painting the bloody Sistine Chapel. Of course, to some icon makers, working on a 100x100 (or, if you want to be SUPER-high artsy, 45x45!) canvas is just as hard as--if not MORE so than--painting on ceilings.
