For a short while, I'm opening icon requests! Just so I have something to do, since my other art requests are on their way to completion. I can offer three types of icon requests;
1.) Simple crops! Just name a character and their series, and I'll wander through pixiv and/or danbooru and come up with a crop set for you. If I have the movie in my possession/can borrow it from some of my IRL friends, I will take screenshots from the DVDs. (So yes, I will do more than just anime or video games if I have the resources.) If there's a lot of white space or a dull background, I'll sometimes replace that with a texture. I'll do this pretty much for anyone at any time for no charge, it just kills time for me.

2.) Colored / Recolored! I will do official art or fan art, again skimming through pixiv. And if the edit is minor, I could even carefully change a character's clothes, hair, eyes, etc. Since most manga is disappearing from the internet, if you want me to use official stuff as a source, please upload the scans in particular you would like me to use to photobucket or something similar and link me. Typically, if you request in bulk, I may hold off on it for a while... but an art trade of any sort will be accepted, too.

3.) Hand drawn requests! These are time-consuming, and a lot of thought is put into these. One or two hand-drawn icons are free, but beyond that, I'd ask for some sort of sufficient payment. The typical charge is just 30 icons for a couple months for one of my RP journals, or a fully-colored art request, or hand-drawn icons in return. If you have another idea, we can work that out, too.
Examples of hand drawn:
(Please don't use these for RP journals. Personal journals are fine with me.)
A simple statement about what my policy is for these icons: Once we have completed our trade/agreement, the icons belong to you. The art came from me, but you are the one who can say whether or not another person can use the icons. As a result, if you do not want me to post the icons in my next icon post, and want to keep them special to yourself, then let me know. Once they belong to you, all I ask is that my name is stated. Whether or not other people can use them is to your discretion.
Please fill out this request form:
Name: (Your name & journal name)
Character(s): (Which characters you'd like me to icon)
Quality: (See above)
Request: (If simple crops, simply say 'crop set'. If you're looking for something specific, please be detailed.)
In Return?: (does not apply for simple requests)
Can I display them?: (i.e. are they free to the public or do you want them especially for yourself)
