But already I'm looking at my own icons that I made and loved a few months ago and suddenly all I can see is the flaws.

This means you're really growing! Just remember how much heart has gone into your work, and yes love these precious babies. Then keep pushing yourself.


I'm disappointed in at least half of what I post. And some pieces go to the manip graveyard without even being posted. But when I go back and look at my stuff on the whole, I can see that I've done some respectable work. As a portfolio, it makes me smile. :)
