the best part of tumblr stuff is the neat bg removal, like dips here didOriginally posted by: Carmilla
I don't really like Tumblr icons or find them pretty actually. š Too ordinary for my taste. I like deep intricate heavily layered stuffs that blows the mind .Like LJ icons . šGives feels .Makes me think of layered sweet meats.Yeah actually I learned the importance of icons from LJ only . Or I was like , why'd one devote a darned lot of precious time , energy and work on tiny things like icons .
probably she tinkered it a bit once the size was less but this is hella time consuming stuff. like i tried making this
original cap is 
if u look closely the hair part is uneven but i erased it once the size was low.

actually we should try this. take one cap and try to make icon, we will see how we all work differently and learn from each otherš
