mpsanguisEven if it feels like beging for comments I'd very much appreciate constructive criticism. First time making icons and all.

Date: 2009-06-16 02:09 am (UTC)the 2 on the far left: i prefer the coloring of the top one, but i like the framing of the bottom better - jack's face is... er less cut off
top, middle is good
bottom, right is possibly my fave :D
top, right: good framing, but not digging the background texture (there's something that looks like a moon coming out of jack's head)
bottom, middle: the font stands out too much, and that harsh blue streak sort of cuts the image in half, leading the eye to nowhere
um... helpful?

Date: 2009-06-16 02:32 am (UTC)Looks like a combination of the two far left is in order. You know the far left on the bottom reminds me of fluffy pastel ponies. Drugs maybe? Who knows.
That thing that looks like a moon is actually a coffee stain on a crumpled piece of paper. It looks rather boring in comparison.
And the blue streak, well that was a first attempt to use a gradient. They're kind of complcated.
Thank you for the con crit. I wouldn't have noticed those details and I agree with you the top middle and the bottom right are my favorites. So, and now I will add numbvers to these damn icons, this is driving me nuts. ;)

Because it was creepy. I recall one in particular where my brother is sitting in the background, and then my huge grinning head occupies the foreground. I am two, staring off into the distance, and grinning like a banshee over my four year old brother's minuscule form. I think I know who you are from crue's or kel's or someone's journal, and you missed the 80s. In some ways, you are lucky. (But in others -- sadness! You missed the glory of Wham!)

Date: 2009-06-18 02:23 am (UTC)Now I have a really creepy image of a blonde two-year-old grinning into an old analog camera with scary, little and pointy teeth. Probably te drugs. ;) I know you from their journals and I think TWU. You're right I missed the 80s since I'm pretty new to lj and in general. I was born in 1992 but I do know Wham! and not just "Last Christmas". :P

Dude, you're younger than kids I used to babysit for. I hope I never babysat you! You're not from New Hampshire, USA, by any chance, are you?

LOL. Nope, I have never been to New Hampshire nor the US but you can babysit any time you see fit. I moved to Germany in April and before that I lived in Turkey, which wasn't exactly easy for a gay, male teenager as you can probably reckon.

Date: 2009-06-19 01:44 am (UTC)So to sum up, Turkey yay! But totally see how it could be *very* difficult to be a gay teenager there. Are you Turkish, or were you just living there? And I am friending you, as I quiz you on your life story and share my touristy little squee over your former home.

Date: 2009-06-19 09:31 pm (UTC)I only lived in Edirne for two years, which is a moderately big town in the very west of Turkey but I grew up in Tablakaya. That is like in the middle of nowhere between the steppe and mountains to be precise.
I wouldn't really know how it would have been to be an out gay teen in Tablakaya because we moved to Edirne when I was 14 and I never mentioned it to anyone nor did I ever do anything about it. Then we moved and I met D who was working at the city's hospital as a part of med school last spring. There was some "bones jumping" involved on my part. He's German, 22, and hawt. It's also a plus that we like to hang out (when we see each other) and chat a lot via email for when we don't see each other.
I'm not completely Turkish, my mom is German/Jewish and my dad Turkish.
But totally see how it could be *very* difficult to be a gay teenager there.
I never got any mentionable grief about my sexual orientation when we lived in Edirne but it was made clear that I better not flaunt it. I'm not a big fan of PDoA so I didn't feel too affected but in principal it is unacceptable of course. It was harder for D, he likes to fondle randomly and mark territory, but he managed. Technically we were illicit (illegal?) in Turkey since I was 15 and he was 21 at that time. Now, in Germany no one could mind less whom I flirt with or fuck. Even though I'm attending a boarding school there are no limitations in that department. Although I do feel like a loser admitting that I have a fucking curfew.
As for men constantly hitting on you, well, it’s kind of embarrassing to admit that but they do it because they want to get married to Westerners, then move there and bring their families with them. I know it sounds like the worst soap opera story line one could come up with at short notice but it’s unfortunately true. There is still this myth about “the better world in the west” and since Muslim women can’t marry non Muslims, the men disgrace themselves and embarrass female tourists with their indiscretions. My parents are obviously the exception. I mean they’ve been married for over 25 years before they decided to move to “the better world in the west”. This was supposed to sound less cynical.

Just trying to make sure as I don't want people editing my graphics without my permission.
Great icons though.
