amateuriconists - Profile (original) (raw)

This community is now for the critiquing and presentation of icons by anyone. Questions about programs or certain graphics are also allowed. Just ask :3 And tutorials are very welcome!

» This is an icon-critiquing community. You are more than welcome to share the icons you put in addition to the icons you want to have critiqued here, however, please be aware of the fact the purpose of this community is not simply to share icons. It is a community meant to improve your icon-making skills through the opinions provided by fellow members. You can, however, put your icon community name in your posts or entries, if you are not already posting with that username. IF YOU POST ICONS SIMPLY TO SHOW THEM OFF, PROMOTE YOURSELF OR YOUR WORK, BE AWARE THAT YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED, MARKED AS SPAM, AND YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY RECIEVE YOUR FIRST OFFENSE UNDER THE WALL OF SHAME.

» ANYONE can join this community. In fact, I insist that you do! xD

» We are looking for people to critique as well as be critiqued, so remain active!

» When joining the community, please post something to help us get to know you. Tell us how you found the community, and if you are posting your own work, let us know what program or programs you use so that we and the other members of the community can help you as best as possible.

» Please check the FAQ’s [under construction] and the Memories before asking any questions. Sometimes there could already be a tutorial on it or it could be answered in the FAQs! {Note: Memories is still under construction!!}

» Requesting is allowed, in moderation and if manners are used. Do not demand an icon or pressure anyone to make anything for you. They are making these out of the kindness of their hearts (and extreme boredom xD) so please be nice about it.

» Credit is a MUST if you take icons from this community. Please credit an icon that you may be asking a question about. If you do not know the creator of the iconist, please state this and tell us where you found it so that we or other members may assist you in finding its creator. Follow all of the rules of each iconist. Anyone not following the rules will be thrown into my striking system OF DOOM! Don't know how to credit? Go here!

» Please use the request form at the bottom for any requests thankyoumuchly!

» When you post icons for a critiquing, please post what series/movie/book/whatever they are from so we can find a lil background on it if we need to.

» _(taken from psp7_beginners)_[Let me make myself entirely clear here when I say I don't want you to post regarding 'it.' By that I am referring to any WAREZ (read: illegal) form of acquiring software. That means PSP7, AS3, plugins or any other related softwares. I remain--as always--opposed to the mention of Kazaa and will have moderators delete any entries/comments that refer to it.]

Please do not ask others for a 'pirated' version of PSP7. Don't ask others to 'share' their registration numbers with you. Don't tell others how to 'cheat' and keep the software running beyond the trial period.

Please keep in mind that this community was set up for legitimate users (those who have purchased the software--or are seriously trying-intending-to-buy the software) of PSP7.

Friends, as softwares go, PSP7 is not a very expensive purchase. Regardless, this community prefers to remain on the side of honest and legal use of PSP7. (Think about how you feel when someone steals from you. End of lecture.)
