[ music | Bad Religion - Slumber ]

I recently joined [info]abc_icons, where the premise is to make 26 icons, one for each letter of the alphabet. Being the TT fangirl that I am, I made a set of TT. I really liked doing this, so maybe I'll do some more in the future ^_^

115 Ayumi Hamasaki - Real Me Screencaps [17 Jul 2005|11:54pm]
[ mood | bored ]
[ music | Koda Kumi - Butterfly ]

I'm actually posting in here? Can it be true?! Gasp-ness! I have a bunch of icons to post, but 90% of them are entered in contests right now, so I'm going to wait until those end so I can post them.

But anyway, I've got 115 caps of the "Real me" video in 348x288. Not all are of Ayu, cos I thought the whole video was really cool, so there's a good few of the crazy cyborgy people things.

Preview )

If you use any, pleeeease comment and credit (a link to this LJ is perfectly fine). I'd really appreciate it.

Now I post. All these are ordered from oldest to most recent. 01 won Mod's Choice at aforementioned icontest.

4 Teen Titans Anti-Theft Banners [22 Jun 2005|01:42am]
[ mood | aggravated ]
[ music | Nonpoint - Move Now ]

Much like the lovely ones created by [info]dreamon234/[info]darkcharm_icons, I made a few anti-theft banners. Because frankly, I am sick and fucking tired of people stealing icons, whether or not I created them. I could rant for hours, but it's not worth it. I'll just cut to the banners and call it even.

I couldn't think of anything witty for BB or Robin, so just Cy, Terra, Raven, and Star today. I didn't feel like doing anything fancy to them, because it's late, I'm tired, and I'm more concerned with whether or not that thunderstorm outside is going to knock out the power.

To use them, just copy the stuff in the textarea into your userinfo. If you want to be really nice, you can save the image to your own server. If you do use them, leave me a comment.

If you have any suggestions, requests, whatever, drop me a comment.

[ music | U2 - Sweetest Thing [The Single Mix] ]

Princess Ai is an awesome manga, and after seeing the lovely [info]equivalency created [info]princess_aicons, I decided to finally make some icons of Princess Ai. Now if only Tokyopop would release the new mangas faster, everything would be kosher >_<

Okay, so, I love the movie "Wasabi," and found caps by [info]teh_indy of them, thus geeking out. I wanna make many more in the future, but for now, 9 for you. BTW? Go watch "Wasabi" (in French, of course). Promise you'll love it.

Okay, first off, these are majorly spoilery, so they're going behind a cut. If you don't want to see anything from the upcoming Season 4 finale, I suggest you don't look. Cos hey, if you click and things are spoiled, not my problem!

[ mood | discontent ]
[ music | Coldplay - Trouble ]

Y'know, as much as I love Coldplay, I've never made Coldplay icons. This shall be rectified! And has! I busted out my Live 2003 DVD, took some screens, and now have these seven lovely icons for you. Six are of Chris, one is of his feet. I don't have a foot fetish or anything, I just thought the shot of him jumping was rad. But I'm rambling about things nobody cares about, so I'm gonna shut up and show you the icons already.

[ mood | creative ]
[ music | Koda Kumi - Real Emotion ]

Yeeeap, more FFX/X-2 icons. Mostly, again, of Yuna and Rikku.  Icons 1 and 2 won second and third place this past week at [info]ffx_x2_awards ^__^

10. 11. 12.

Textures from [info]my_wonderful and [info]aloneinthetown. Icons 3 & 4 were made with a tutorial from Tearingapart (though personally I think my icon came out kind of shitty compared to the tutorial one :x). Icon 5 was made with a tutorial from Amoreincauto, both found through [info]icon_tutorial. Images, as usual, from Drifting Heart and Rikku.Org.

Lyrics:
01. Something Corporate - Konstantine
02. Bad Company - Shooting Star
05. Koda Kumi - Real Emotion (look hard, it's really tiny)
06. Maroon 5 - Shiver
07. Mariah Carey - Butterfly
09, 11, 12. Our Lady Peace - Right Behind You (Mafia)

I'm gonna stop making icons for the night before my brain asplodes.

[ music | Maroon 5 - Sweetest Goodbye ]

Sorry for neglecting you, icon journal ;_; I've been mainly participating in icontest communities lately, so I haven't had much thought to make icons lately. I joined [info]ffx_x2_awards and got the idea to make some FF icons, which I have not done in quite some time. There'd be more, but I reaaaally gotta pack for my trip to San Diego *_*

Rules as always: comment, credit if you want, sharing is caring

Anger! [08 May 2005|10:09pm]
[ mood | pissed off ]
[ music | Incubus - A Certain Shade of Green ]

Guh. So yeah, my photobucket account (at least my one for this journal) up and died this weekend. Lovely, I know. SO, all of my newer icons that were not on my other Photobucket account have been moved over. I'll go back and maybe edit my community posts later, and probably do the older posts, as well, but right now, copying and pasting has given me a migraine, my Photobucket account dying on the first weekend I decide to enter some icontests (and win Mod's Choice at [info]fma_chorus!) has made me angry, and finding many, many of my icons (and my current layout, which was DELIBERATELY WATERMARKED TO PREVENT THEFT) stolen has made me absolutely irate. I'm going to get off the internet and go calm down somewhere.

But anyway. Everything's up on Lightning Rod and should work fine. If you find something that doesn't, comment here and tell me.

Apologies for the icon maker angst. I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Edit: While I'm thinking of it, does anyone know the override to have not as many entries show up on the front page of my journal? That's probably a good reason my photobucket account went down, and I'm paranoid about my payhost exceeding bandwidth usage for the month. If any of you know, please tell me, because I'd really, really appreciate it.
