I don't require crediting, but if you do, please credit unobstructed instead of harmonious. Thanks!

I won't lie, I made these mostly because I love Codex dancing in the falling coins and everyone seems to ignore those shots when they're icon'ing. I tried to include icons of everyone else but Codex is clearly the star of the video and Clara/Bladezz have some pretty horrible scenes. :( Tink has awesome scenes but they're hard to icon... unless I made animated ones. Maybe another day! That said, if you have any specific requests for icons from this video, feel free to ask!

PS: Hay. I never update this thing because I never make icons anymore. Sorry. :(

LONG LONG LONG ABSENCE. I'm aware of this. I don't have internets at home, which really doesn't excuse me from not making icons since I have assloads of images saved on my laptop, but I'm addicted to Ragnarok Online and when I'm online I'm leveling instead of posting icons.

So I'm posting some now. DON'T HATE ME FOREVER OKAY.

37 x Romeo x Juliet (Episodes 3 & 4)
2 x Texture Sets

Ahhh, Romeo x Juliet. It's not often an anime catches me quickly and holds me very long, but I think you've managed to do it. :( Now, if only the subs for Sisters of Wellber would continue to come out, I might continue have another to note... ♥

I wasn't planning on making any more texture sets, at least not for a while, but my friend Nox discovered my "hidden talent in Photoshop manipulations" (her words, not mine - I use Paint Shop Pro! xD) and asked me to make some for backgrounds for her art, so I went ahead and posted them here, too. ♥

52 x Romeo x Juliet (Episode 2)

I decided to make these very uniform - I used the same purplish coloring for all of them, and I like it a lot. ♥ I like very simplistic icons - no need for text, textures, brushes or fancy borders. These aren't meant to be bases, but I have no problem with you spicing them up if it makes you happy~ ♥

God, Romeo rivals Link (Legend of Zelda >>) in adorability (lol making up words) when he's smiling with those irises... it just kills me. .__.;

I use Paint Shop Pro 9. As stated above, I used on default tools to create the coloring on these. I didn't even use any layers except duplicating the base and setting it to multiply or soft light, depending on the cap. >>
These aren't meant to be bases, but I don't care if you edit them.
Comments are awesome. Credit isn't necessary, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't claim these as your own! I put a lot of work into these, despite the fact that they aren't covered in textures...

I wanted to use this image of Chibiusa and Helios for 10variations, but no matter what I did I couldn't get prompt 7, entire image, to work. It loses too much detail and has too many colors in it for it to look decent (in my opinion, anyway!). So, instead of actually making a claim, I just made the other icons anyway~ It's an unofficial claim now, yes?

Enjoy.

Seriously. If you don't, I'll cry. :(

Young Forever; 1 1024x768 and 40 icon-sized (100x100) textures.

Look to the Sky; 100 (YES you read that correctly!) icon-sized (100x100) textures. The large ones are found here. :3

Rainbow Vomit; 30 icon-sized (100x100) textures. I forgot to save the big one, but this is my least favorite of these sets so I'm not too disappointed. :P

Autumn Kisses; 1 1024x768 and 30 icon-sized (100x100) textures.

Summer Love; 1 1024x768 and 30 icon-sized (100x100) textures.

Tutorial - How to color manga.

2007-01-27T00:05:37Z

Manga Coloring Tutorial

This to

I'm working in Paint Shop Pro 9, but this should be translatable to Photoshop and other versions of PSP. I've never used any other image editing program, and I don't have Photoshop, so please don't ask me for help in them. ♥

First of all, as you can see, the image is not very straight. Let's fix that by rotating the original image (Image -> Rotate -> Free Rotate -> Right -> Free (1.5 degrees). This will leave a silly border in whatever your background color happens to be, but that doesn't matter in this situation since we're just going to crop Skuld anyway.

Grab your Selection Tool and crop the entire panel that Skuld resides in. Paste it as a new image. Note that it isn't perfectly straight, but it's certainly a lot closer. Try not to get any of the black border in your selection, because it'll end up in the icon.

Now, as you can see, she looks pretty washed out! We're going to fix that. First, adjust the brigtness/contrast (Adjust -> Brightness and Contrast -> Brightness/Contrast). This will be different for every image you use, but for this one I left the Brightness at 0 and changed the Contrast to 30. That's better, but I'd still rather have her darker. I duplicated the background layer and set it to Multiply 100%. NOW I have a nice, bright image.

Resize the image so the HEIGHT is at 100 pixels (Image -> Resize). If it's a little fuzzy, sharpen it (Adjust -> Sharpness -> Sharpen). If sharpening it outright makes it too sharp, play with the Unsharp Mask (Adjust -> Sharpness -> Unsharp Mask). If you don't like the Unsharp Mask, duplicate the image, sharpen the top layer, then play with the opacity until it's as sharp as you like.

Now, paste the image onto a blank 100x100 canvas and position it as you like. This is your base. Mine looks like this:

You can do the rest of these steps in whatever order you like; I chose to add my background next. I chose a texture by ownthesunshine, here. Paste it as a new layer on top of your base, and set it to Multiply at 100%. With a small, soft brush, erase everything over Skuld and let it sit in the background. I knew that my color scheme was going to be blue and I didn't want the background to be pink, so I colorized the layer (Adjust -> Hue and Saturation -> Colorize). The settings I used were Hue (194) and Saturation (188), but please play with this on your own - it will be different for each image because the colorscheme will be different!

Next, I decided to color the blush on her face. I did this before the skin color because I didn't want it to stand out too much, but you could always do it later and move the layer beneath the skin color layer. Grab a soft brush (I almost always use a default round one) and in a new layer color over the blush with a pink shade. (I used #fb99f5.) Set the layer to Soft Light 100%. After I did that I decided to color over her mouth, too, with the same color. The effect wasn't enough for me, so I duplicated the layer. As you can see below, even with the layer duplicated you can't see the difference all that much, but when you're all done the stark black/gray will stand out and you'll want to change it anyway.

Next, I colored her skin! With the same small, soft brush color over her skin (I used on a new layer and set it to Multiply 100%. The reason we set the last layer to Soft Light and this one to Multiply is that the previous layer had data that we were coloring over, but now we're coloring over something that's white. If her skin were gray we could use the Soft Light method, but then she'd just look dirty. :P Be sure to color over her neck, too.

Now her eyes and hair. Because they're the same shade of brown AND because I was going to use the same blend option (Soft Light) I put them on the same layer, but usually they need to go on separate layers. I chose a shade of brown (#7d6151) from an officially colored picture of Skuld I had on my laptop, but really, any brown will do. Color over her hair and irises with the same small, soft brush, then set the layer to soft light. I decided I wanted more color on her eyes so I set a new layer to Soft Light and colored over her eyes again. I didn't just duplicate the layer because I thought her hair was fine.

Now I was eager to get some of the blue I mentioned into the picture. I took a patten by _iconographer, here, pasted it as a new layer, and erased it everywhere except her clothing and bun covers. What a cute pattern, huh?

Then I went back and finished up her face; her Goddess markings are blue (which is why I knew I wanted a blue colorscheme. :P), so I chose a blue (#98a3ef) and colored over the markings. I set it to Soft Light, then duplicated the layer and set it to Multiply. I did both Soft Light and Multiply because the gray underneath the blue made it look kind of dirty - the Soft Light layer changed the gray to blue, so it looks more natural. As you can see I didn't color inside of her mouth - I did this mostly because most mangaka don't, either, but you are welcome to do so if you wish. ♥

Now for the finishing touches. I love the dreamy, fuzzy look, so I copied the merged picture (Edit -> Copy Merged) and pasted it as a new layer. I set the layer to Soft Light. Then used the Gaussian Blur (Adjust -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur), set at a radius of 3. That softened the picture a lot, didn't it?

Not everyone likes borders, but I'm sort of obsessed with them. I stamped this brush (I made it, but it's nothing special, haha.) in white on a new layer that I left at Normal.

And there you have it. Coloring manga really isn't difficult as long as you are capable of choosing colors and understand the layer's blending modes! Play around! I'd love to see what you come up with. ♥

Textures: Pastel Grunge & Sky DUMP

Textures that have been waiting for me to make a preview image for. Yes, I really AM that lazy. :P

{ Download @ DeviantART }

This was made by screwing around in Paint Shop Pro with a lot of dearest's junk.

{ Download @ DeviantART }

These were made by destroying a bunch of pictures of the sky I took on my lonely cross-country drive. I grungified them by emphasizing my camera's imperfections and overdoing my color editing (on purpose, obviously), so they're ready and rarin'. I didn't cut them up into icon-sized textures but you're more than welcome to if you like - they're meant more for wallpaper or website work, though. ♥

2007-01-25T06:02:01Z

I figured it'd be something like this: once I start, I can't stop! Unfortunately I don't have images from Volume 3 handy, and my internet is pretty shoddy until sometime after this weekend, so it might be a while before I get to do more Parakiss icons... since if I'm going to do them, I might as well do them in order, right?

As for the text ones? Well, once I did it with the Miwako one I couldn't resist. :3

Icons: Paradise Kiss

2007-01-23T00:07:52Z

I have been so ridiculously busy lately that I have had NO time whatsoever to mess with icons. Still, I decided last night that I HAD to make some - I'm sure you other iconmakers get that every once in a while - and decided that Parakiss would just have to do. ^_~ Actually, this is one of my favorite series and I've been wanting to break out of the simplistic stock icons funk I've been in. Not that there's anything wrong with them... just I couldn't seem to make anything else! I'm not entirely sure I did Parakiss justice, but there are a few in this set that I really like, so hopefully I won't disappoint any of the rest of the fans. ♥
