FAQ
Q: Can I have the PSD for so-and-so icon/header/banner/etc.?
A: No. I don't save many of my PSDs, and even if I did give it to you, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. I put individual effort into each of my icons, so what may work for one icon will probably not work for another.
Q: Did you ask permission to use so-and-so fanart?
A: No. I don't make profit off of my icons, don't ask for credit, and give credit to the images. I don't know if anyone asks the fanartists whether or not they asked the original creators, but that's my own personal opinion. If the artist themselves request that I take my icons down, then I'll do it.
Q: You should respect the fanartists and be creative yourself.
A: Many people make icons of animes, shows, etc. for free. The idea isn't to rip off someone's art; the idea is to customize said art into a 100x100 pixel to use on a blog or a journal.
Q: Can I edit the icon?
A: Of course. :3
Q: How did you get so-and-so coloring on that icon?
A: The truth is, I don't know. I experiment with each icon, and most likely, I'll have forgotten to save the PSD.
Q: Can I request an icon?
A: Yes, but please only do so when there's a request post open.
Q: Can I ask a question that isn't in the FAQ?
A: Yes. Just leave a comment below, and I'll respond as soon as I can. Thanks!
