Description
PLEASE DO NOT ALTER THIS ICON IN ANY WAY. PLEASE CREDIT ME.
---
Alright, if anyone is feeling generous and wants to give me some advice on the pixel icon process. I'd like to know if there is a better way to render these to avoid stray white pixels. I'm also not sure the shadow under the cake looks very good, but I couldn't create it using my usual methods. I also am not so sure it all looks like what it's supposed to, so I suppose that any advice at all would be welcome xD
Okay so yesterday I said the chocolate one was my last one, but this time I mean it (sort of). Someone asked me to make a strawberry cake one for them to use. So... here it is :3
I'm making these free icons to show people what I can do! I offer commissions, cheap point commissions even! but I think I may change the prices again. These are a little easier than I thought they'd be, so the price will go down a bit (maybe when I get around to it xD)
It's free for anyone to use, just comment here telling me and if you're feeling super nice you can add the icon to your favorites!
I'd also be much obliged if you'd put my name in your signature maybe? ("icon by *THEvampireninja" or something. As long as it links back to my page~)
:3
OH I can also make the background match the dA green color that is usually underneath the icon when you post a comment. I just like transparent backgrounds better, although occasionally there are some stray white pixels.

I do point commissions, they're only like 10ish points a piece. I can give you a link to the journal if you're interested ^^
I need to keep my premium somehow x3

WAIT. STOP. HAMMER TIME. HOLD THE PHONE.
...Did you make this FREE HAND? With NO Template whatsoever?
If you honestly just whipped this up with no base or anything, I think you should consider pixel art.

o.o
Yes, I did make it myself. The only thing I used a 'base' for was the heart... but it was my own base xDD which I've used in several other icons (some of which have never seen the light of day, either unfinished or crappy looking etc).
Sooo... thank you I didn't think it was all that astounding but I did enjoy doing it. Maybe I'll try some other, more involved pixel art in the future. x3
I also made my icon which I'm sure you would have noticed on all of my comments and stuff but I'm putting it here anyway >.> this time the white pixels are there on purpose xD
And thanks for the fave owo

You're welcome! I was really impressed with the little cake-it looked like a professional pixel artist made it. Maybe you have a secret talent you are discovering!
And haha, yeah, I noticed the top hat. I like that one, too! I still think the cake is my fav, though.

o3o I...
would like that xD
Maybe then people would buy my commissions~ I've made many more free ones than I have paid ones.
Thanks and... yeah, I think the cake is better done too tbh, but I /kinda/ made it for someone else (who couldn't even use it, btw)... and having a cake as my icon... I dunno xD wasn't really my thing. I just know they're popular.

Do you only do commissions for points? You can buy something from the DA shop! And yeah! Practice with pixels and get really good: THEN DO MONEY COMMISHS.
Why couldn't they use the cake?

Right now I offered points commissions because I thought I would be more likely to get people to buy stuff that way. Besides, originally I just wanted to keep my premium membership without buying it myself xD
I actually would be willing to offer cash commissions now... I just gotta figure out how much I'd charge for stuff (I'd even be willing to draw stuff as I might have mentioned already xD, and write, but not many people want written commissions, and I dun even know if I could handle writing for someone else).
It had something to do with their uploader it, the thing kept trying to resize the icon, and so wouldn't even let her upload it. I tried it to make sure it was the right size, and it worked for me so... I guess her dA was just throwing a tantrum.

Hahaha, sounds like a plan. I bet everyone would rather just use points to buy a premium membership, lol.
If you wanna be a writer someday, you might want to start practicing writing for other people. You might have to! It might be fun for you, anyway.
Yeah, probably. Or her computer was finicky. She didn't pay you for the cake avatar, did she?

THEvampireninja In reply to SpookyMoonlight [2011-07-15 20:57:08 +0000 UTC]
lol yeah xD
I know, but I really want to publish my own stuff v.v I know that I'll probably need to work for someone/something else but I wanna be a novelist I guess, not just a writer
She didn't, but I didn't really expect her to, so I suppose it's just as well xD; no money was wasted anywhere

SpookyMoonlight In reply to THEvampireninja [2011-07-16 18:01:34 +0000 UTC]
Ah, I see. I completely understand. But maybe to work your way up to a novelist, you should do some stepping stones of writing for other people using their characters or ideas and whatnot. Just a suggestion. I just wanna see you published someday!
AND YOU PROMISED ME I COULD ROLL AROUND IN YOUR POOL OF MONEY-I DIDN'T FORGET THAT.

THEvampireninja In reply to SpookyMoonlight [2011-07-20 20:39:26 +0000 UTC]
Hm Maybe. I think if I were gonna do that I'd try doing some kind of journalism or something, I feel like it would be easier to get a job doing that than writing about someone else's characters. Then again I could probably get commissions on here for just about any kind of writing, not many people offer that.
Lol, I won't forget xD As soon as I fill it up, you'll be invited over for a 'swim'

Okay good. Not many people can say they've swam in a pool of money. xD
