HOKAY GUYS.

I've found a lovely, sneaky way to deal with my icon loneliness:

I'M MOVING. ♥♥♥

I'm gonna go join the two really, really unbelievably excellent iconmakers at cereal_killerz! This community will stay up, including all old icon posts, but I won't be posting here anymore. This place has been fun and totally, 100% kickass, but when such an opportunity presented itself I just couldn't pass it up, you know? ~~Also, they've indentured my cat.~~

SO COME, MY MINIONS. JOIN ME IN MY FUTURE EVIL DEEDS. 8D FOLLOW ME! ONWARD!

Many thanks to my dearest Donnell. Unfortunately, she's informed me she doesn't have the stamina to keep up this hobby, and has had to back out. Looks like it's just me again.

Expect me to do something about how lonely it is here... soon.

S-So I missed my own 200th, what. ;_;

HOLY JUMPING JACKSTICKS. ♥♥♥♥♥ I am so flattered, you guys. Thank you so much. ^^ S-So because I've been so awful about my last set of requests, I thought I'd open up something a little different this time.

THEREFORE. I'm going to open SPEED REQUESTS _{a la regis over at tentacleness}. I know it's not nearly as much as a normal request round, but seeing as I was so epically bad at churning those out last time... /cries in a corner

SPEED REQUESTS.
• Only the first 5 people get icons. Sorry! D: You may reserve, but please come back with an image within 10 minutes or so, or I will have to delete the comment. I want to get these all done today!
• Only one image per person! W-Well, I might be persuaded to do more, but they might not show up today...
• Your icons will be made within the next few hours.
• You can give me... oh, hell, whatever you want me to icon, really. No animated icons, though.
• All requests will be shareable.
• If you're requesting manga coloring, provide a color reference - HQ and MQ scans only, please? ♥

So yeah. Thanks again, you guys... I really appreciate the support. For anyone looking at this really closely, I'll link you a preview icon of my next batch here. (Don't forget to credit! xD;;) Hopefully this icon community will continue to grow at this (rather alarming) rate! 8D Love y'all. Here's the code for the requests:

0/5 spots left!

H'okay, so! I've been away for a while, eh? Durr. Yeah. So just for the sake of posting stuff, I'm posting, and hoping it'll make you guys not hate me while I complete the next batch? D: Sorry, y'all - real life ran away with me for a while, there.

So these aren't exactly my prettiest creations ever, but I hope you like them anyway. More requests coming!

{114 icons} In which I reinstate a tradition nearly lost

2009-06-09T05:43:57Z

So it's sort of my tradition from back at _ashenicons to icon the hell out of the Tony Awards every year. I have half a real!batch and quite a lot of your requests done, but with this alarming output for this year's installment of Morph's Tony Award Extravaganza!, I thought I'd post 'em separately.

I'm gonna start with the performances, and all the actors and whatnot will be grouped in no particular order. ^^ ghjdhjkgd, I am unsatisfied with these...

So I still don't have a tablet, you guys, which means the requests are still not done. D8 I swear, as soon as I get a new one, finishing the requests will be my top priority. In the meantime, I started playing around with real photos (gasp!) to see if I could actually do 'em... this is the result of testing and whatnot. Never fear, we shall soon return to your regular programming! ♥ Thanks for being patient, all. ^^

Might as well. So yes, requests are coming, but I'll be able to work on 'em only after I get a new tablet, si? ♥

Yeah, yeah, I know - where are the icons? The requests? They're comin', guys, I swear, I just can't find my tablet pen at the moment, though I have perfect faith that it'll turn up soon. In the meantime...

I created this icontest thinger, 'cause all the other KHR ones seem to be kinda kaput ~~and I felt like it.~~ It'll officially open once I've got 15+ members, so join join join! ♥

Also forgive my banner for being boring/ugly, I had like four seconds to code the layout of this thing. xD;;

Come on, guys.

2009-03-22T21:48:51Z

Hey, y'all. It's come to my attention that my Photobucket account has exceeded its bandwidth; thanks for all the tips on that. Until next month, when my images should be back, I've uploaded some (not all) of my icons to a different photobucket account where you guys can check them out. (I've reuploaded my banners and profile layout images there, too - ignore those? xD;;) There are no new icons there, and there certainly aren't all the icons I've posted, but them's the breaks - I'm not re-coding my entries because someone was hotlinking.

Which brings me to the issue at hand. To put it simply, guys, hotlinking is not cool. Please don't copy/paste my image links to your userpics page to get them; it takes up my bandwidth and ruins things for everybody, as is made kind of obvious by this Photobucket explosion here.

In the end, I'm just kind of disappointed that this stuff still happens; three iconmakers I really respect have had this issue around the same time, as well, so the phenomenon doesn't really seem to be dying out, no matter how many times the iconers ask people not to.

Just... don't do it? 'Kay? 'Kay.

In the meantime, here's another big, sparkly link to a different Photobucket account with 11 of my Angel Sanctuary icons, 28 of my Bleach icons, 15 of my CLAMP icons, 13 of my Disney icons, 74 of my KHR icons, 40 of my Stock & Miscellaneous icons, and my 15 Watchmen icons. Remember, these are all previously posted; unless I've messed up once or twice, there won't be any new icons behind this link at all. No worries, I'm still making new ones, but they'll be posted much later, and from my original Photobucket account, just like normal. This is only a for-now sort of measure. ♥

Thanks for being patient, you guys. I really appreciate it.
