THE PIMP POST.
THE PIMP POST.
I know there's a few of these around, and there are a few pimping communities out there that do this, but one more spot can't hurt right?
I'm locking this one as I can't take any more suggestions - it took me forever to put it all up :D Ogle all you want though! Thank you guys for all your help!
For this to work well you knows you gots to pimp this bad boy crazy yo!
Please note I didn't put up everyone recommendededed. I also used different icons if I felt that the ones picked don't do the iconist's range of skills justice :).
PART 2 IS NOW HERE.
call_me_daisy
Awesome use of negative space, cropping and colouring. In fact, the whole shebang.
A lot of icon makers give you a feeling when you look at their icons which can only accurately be described by using the word 'whoa'; she's one of these people.
iconofilth
Pretty much everyone knows how awesome this girl's icons are. If you don't, you should punch yourself in the kidney for not knowing.
Texture use that is almost unparalleleleleled. Unique colouring. Awesomesauce.

Spiggin' incredible collages. Incredible icons. I just wish I shared more of her fandoms, and that she would post more often ^_^
