Resources etc
Note
Unfortunately this list is not exhaustive. That's mainly my fault. If you see an icon of mine and know where I got something on it from, let me know!
Program
Icons created before March 17th were made with a free trial of Open Canvas 3.06E Plus. You can download it here. Since, I've switched to the GIMP v. 2.2, found here.
Fonts
Most of the fonts I use either came with my computer or from Divide by Zero. Some are from Fonts For Flash, DaFont, Abstract Fonts, Acid Fonts, OFFsite, or 1001 Free Fonts.
Base Images (cuz cap_it is your friend.)
The base image for the (rather shitty) icon for this community was made with the eLouai Candybar Girl Doll Maker.
Fullmetal Alchemist icons are based off of images from Asskicking Alchemy and Automail, this unnamed gallery, crumblingwalls' ep 5-8 post, ghostarmy's ep 3 post, this Photobucket 3rd Game gallery or Devil's Nest. (Also some from byouki.)
Rurouni Kenshin icons are based off of images from Spectrum Nexis or Let It Burn.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex icons are based off of images from The Anime Galleries, lyrebird's 1x01 post and 1x05, 06, and Tachikoma post, or my own screenshots (particularly for 1st GiG ep 25.) (Also some from byouki.)
Pride and Prejudice icons are based off of screenshots downloaded here.
The Royal Tenenbaums icons are based off of screenshots either graciously given by gingeranne or found here or here.
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door caps here.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy caps, unless otherwise stated, are from here and here, both from just_smiling's trailer posts.
Spirited Away caps here, here, and here.
Other Pretty Things
Some light bases were found here.
Gradients from here, here, here, here, here, or here.
Borders plus brushes here, here, here, here, here, or here. More stuff from gender, insomniax (Hybrid Genesis), and more forthcoming.
Some patterns here. Random textures here. Screentones here.
Most templates from here.
Also check my mems for tutorials and references that I've been whoring, mainly from icon_tutorial and gimp_users.
I'm open to requests; just send me an image or idea and I'll see what I can do.
As for affiliates, comment if you'd like to; I'd be honored!
More resources to come as I create more icons. :D
