I finally got around to posting my 003 (DRRR!!) iconset over at loveviolently. (^o^)/ It took me a while, but I finally got around to it - my first posted set of anime/manga icons. (laugh) It's not as easy, doing those, honestly. It's something about taking something someone drew and making it into an icon. I always get the desire to try and fit the whole ( Read more... )

So~ the voting posts for jrock20in20 are up now, for all three categories. (^0^)/ Voting's open to everyone, so I think anyone who likes icons should go take a shot and vote for their favorites. I plan to spam links to these on twitter, to that effect, hopefully. (laugh) Please, everyone - don't just vote for mine because you think that'll make me happy. Vote ( Read more... )

So, I've officially completed my entry for round two of the jrock20in20 challenge. (^0^)/ I entered with Aki (of SID) and finished twenty icons that I'm actually pretty happy with, I think. I know it's not really a big deal, but this is actually the first real icon challenge of this kind that I've ever participated in, even if I've been posting graphics for a ( Read more... )

Just in my random web-surfing today, I came across this site with a few different Photoshop tutorials. (^0^)/ And while I'm not really a huge fan of tutorials (which is to say, I find them really cool, but I don't really use them) I came across two different tutorials that I thought would be cool to try. One of them is really intensive and fun ( Read more... )

So! I got the official nod of approval from my two closest (most impartial and hard-to-please) critics. (^0^)/ And they liked iconsets 001 & 002. This pleases me, ridiculously. One is notoriously hard to please and the other is a finicky heathen who makes icons too, so - their opinions mean a lot to me, when I make things.

But, anyway. (laugh) I'm ( Read more... )

I completed my first two iconsets (which is what I'm calling sets of icons with a shared theme) and posted them at loveviolently. I called them "Bruises & Bitemarks" and "Hipster". (laugh) The pictures are all taken from tumblr, so I'm not entirely sure who the photographers or original artists are, but - they're really pretty pictures, so if the originators do ( Read more... )

To really kick off loveviolently, I kinda want to make icons. Particularly (in keeping with the theme/mood/inspiration for the community's name) I want to make a set of icons called "Bruises & Bitemarks". The phrase is from a song of the same name, by Good with Grenades. (^0^)/ The fangirl in me really loves that song, but that's a whole different story.

In any ( Read more... )

My first two layouts (or rather, first layout in two variations) were posted over at loveviolently, my new community for layouts and graphics. Ahh, well, it's probably a little ambitious of me, to make a whole community for that - even knowing that I'm not all that great with CSS. (facepalm) But the truth is, it was fun and it gave me something to do - and I ( Read more... )
