Icons: Wrestling 20in20 Round13: Shawn Michaels

This is the first time I've been brave (or stupid!!) enough to enter an icontest of any sort. The ones over at [livejournal.com profile] wrestling20in20 are awesome and what inspired me to take the plunge, join up and have a go. I'm not a fantastic graphic artist but I need a load of new ones so why not make myself do them now and themed on someone I never tire of looking at!!?

Anyway, hit the link and they're there. Honest but not harsh comments welcome - me and Gimp are slowly learning to love each other and I'm a relative noob who's thinking of sticking to writing :)

Nice work on these. I think you did a really great job. I really like 'tiny text' & 'white' as well as the category set. :)

Congrats on completing & well done!

p.s I know what you mean about Shawn, I miss him terribly too. lol Look forward to seeing more of your work in future rounds. :D

Thank you so much :) It took me about half an hour to figure out how to post them - I'm an epic noob to things that aren't straightforward XD

I really enjoyed the challenge of making these, I never realised at first how hard they were going to be and you'd never tell but some took me over an hour just to pull together - I clearly have a long way to go :)

I look forward to trying again in the future, the initial trauma is sure to have worn off by the time the next signup comes around :)
