Welcome to Iconsomnia, icon journal of bloodied-stone. All entries are public, so go frolic amongst the 100x100 pixel squares!
I make icons of plenty of different subjects - everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter, Latin phrases to actors, bands to video games... and then some. Absolutely no blinkie crap though, or the sorts of things that you find in pop_icons. Paris Hilton makes me want to destroy things with my trusty lightsabre.
guidelines for use
I. Tell me if you’re taking any (you don’t have to ask if you can use them - unless stated otherwise, all icons are up for public use ) or even if you just like something that I've done. I just want to know which icons people like, so I know what to do again and what to avoid.
II. Credit 'iconsomnia' should you ever use any of the icons I've posted here for your use, preferably in the comments of the icon, but really, whatever suits you will do. I'm not a real Credit Nazi(!!1) but it helps people find the icon's maker, and makes everyone happy. :D
III. Don't claim the icons as your own (in fact, don't even think about it) or edit them without my permission. Textless icons are not bases for your modification.
Layout made for participation in the lj reboot by bloodied-stone. Fonts used in banner are Voluta Script and 18th Century. Wallpaper-esque pattern from the inspiration gallery. Moon and star icons from icon buffet. Calendar and comment icons from famfamfam.com. It also looks better if you have Clear Type (or some equivalent) turned on.
Can you believe it? My favourite actor in the world (and has been for more than six years now o_O) has never been the subject of one of my icon sets (though I've done plenty of characters he's played). It was time that was set right.
Also, as I can now see with hindsight that there aren't enough of him smiling, I'm going to have to make more very soon indeed. What a crying shame, eh? ;)
So, there was this thing called the_lj_reboot, which was the livejournal equivalent of something I'd always wanted to participate in (the css reboot (november 2005)), most deftly run by grrliz. Of course, I knew I wanted to participate, and decided to reboot this journal, because it was seriously out of date and I was more than a little bored with it.
Also, I've hit the 750 friends limit, so I've removed all friends except for those journals I'm affiliated with, which can now be seen by clicking 'affiliates' at the top of this journal. So don't take it personally if I've removed you. :P
Whee, these were so much fun to make, so I don't even care if no one likes them. :P
Anyway, 40 icons of five of my favourite frontmen (in no particular order): Bono (u2), David Bowie, Robert Smith (The Cure), Brian Molko (Placebo) and Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance, stfu, I am not emo :P).
...Do you think my fondness for black and white is becoming apparent?
Hullo all! I bring icons of miinty_sticks (by miints) art! Aren't they just the cutest things in the world? :3
Basically, this set was just an excuse to use all the handwriting fonts I have. I jest, I have many more handwriting fonts than this.
Also: I have made a handful of GOF icons - would you like to see them or have you had it up to here with icons from the trailers? ;D
If you do use any of these btw, it'd only be right (and good and just) to credit miinty_sticks or miints as well as myself, since I just stuck them into 100x100 pixel squares. The real genius is hers alone.
100 BLOODY ICONS of my favourite character from anything, ever.
Oh dear goodness, I think I'm going to dieeee. But still, atleast we got there in the end. *headdesk* Some of these are dreadful though (86, 87 - I'm looking at you), so I think I might revise this post with some new!better!icons in the future.
...Feedback, under these circumstances, would be really appreciated. :3
