Comments are better than credit always. The "DWIGHT IS PORN" icon is off limits because it's for my sister, but I wanted to show it off. Take it and burn. Oh, and me and Jim are going to get married, yup.
If you like what you see feel free to friend. :DD</div>

So I went through and drug up every icon I had made of Draco that dealt with those three promo pics (were they promo pics?) to make this post, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I sorted them according to favoriteness, as well as demonstrating my fear of having icons that look alike touch.
NEW LAYOUT.
Which of course, follows this Draco love theme. And just to continue with that theme, I've written a Dramione/Snapione crackfic posted over at norrell so if you like drunken revels and half-naked Dracos and fifteen-year old emo Snapes, feel free to ckeck it out!
I hope you guys like! Feel free to browse the back entries.Friend me?</lj>

about the requests, so listen up

___aliform — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 18:41:42 GMT

Would the two people who have not chosen images please do so? I'd like to get the requests out and if I don't have pics I can't make icons, and I don't want to keep the patient nice other people waiting. :( If not then I'll simply post the requests this weekend because it's been quite awhile.

Thanks!

Okay, so I made the Bleach ones too late at night. These are mostly textless because I have none of my fonts on these evil lab computers, but I really wanted to update (coughstareatichigocough) so here you are. 14 shows my love for the backs of boys necks. I've always liked that, I don't know why. And now I'm rambling with exhausted hyperness. Anyway. I hope you guys like!

Notes:
~ Blur your eyes for 56 (hint: 'tis an evil smiley face). That's my weird sense of humor. Thanks to yachiru for turning me on to the series, and googling did wonders.
~ For much better Bleach icons, and animanga icons in general, check out unioncity and dirtyicons. Bleach is my new love after spending many nights up way too late reading the manga online till my eyes burned. But Ichigo is my baby daddy. So is Urahara, and Aizen, and...

If ya likes what ya sees, friend me! More always coming! Also feel free to browse all the back entries, just don't comment on every one. Also, NEW LAYOUT! And check out this nifty all headers post-it includes those "friends welcome" signs you guys inspired me to make.

11 headers/locked signs/friends welcome (*new!*) signs ; animanga (one DBZ, one Hidaka Ken), fashion (Lily Cole, hotties), one Arthur Rackham (Alice in Wonderland)

The last I didn't want to touch, really-the picture seemed too perfect. You may slap whatever text you want on the blank header, the second header, and on the last one.
Two of you last time (and times before that) have made me realize the need for "friends welcome" signs! So here's the first that I've made! I hope you guys that wanted that like them. ^^
This post is to celebrate the new layout. Whooo.

All the HP are pretty weird but you guys are gracious enough to let me experiment at will. I used a tutorial for coloring from brasaremean for some of the HP ones. Credit goes to meivocis for the textures for the last and third to last header things. They are my tribute to Pansy, who is underrated in both icons and fics. I thought that model looked like my version of her, so tada! There you have it. You should also be able to tell by now I hate Molly with a passion. If ya like what ya see, friend me! No need to ask!

I love DBZ. Alot. And there is a serious lacking in DBZ icons, which I decided to fix.
08 is a reference to both His Dark Materials trilogy and Pokemon. My fandom's are complicated.
06 is for my sister. No touchy. Besides, none of you are floatingnot anyway, so it wouldn't make sense.
I don't often make animanga icons, so don't think HP has been shoved aside. I just got tired of it. Enjoy!

So. I love making headers now, as I am getting no creativity icon-wise. The icons were just an excuse to post the headers, which is why they make me cringe. So here yah are. You can slap your own text on any of the headers of you really wish, but 1, 2, 4, and 6 are meant for you to put text on them.
The first HP header says, "heroes will always be braver than those they defeat" because it sounded cool.
As far as lyrics go, the fifth banner is Coldplay's Swallowed in the Sea, the sixth and seventh are Vanessa Carlton's Twilight and the eleventh and twelve are Ted Leo and the Pharmicists' Bleeding Powers.
One texture I used is from themagicbox, currently being moved.
Model pics are from fashionesque or foto_decadent

big pimps and mixes (prep for the latter)

___aliform — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 16:10:09 GMT

Hallo, all my little peoples.
I am making a Neville/Luna mix.
Any suggestions for songs?

So far I have:
Mandy Moore - The Whole of the Moon
Michelle Branch - You Get Me
They Might Be Giants - Sleeping in the Flowers

Obviously I need a couple more.
Comment with ideas! I love hearing from all of you.

Hi-ho everyone, sorry these were so late in coming. I attempted weeding out the trash from the good, and therefore it took a little longer to achieve this, the end result. As you can tell, I discovered lens blur, and expect more of it.
Add your own text to the first banner, I left it blank for you.
If you want to smack "friends only" on anything, feel free, but I won't do it for you.
The second is a bit patriotic if you are American, and since the 4th of July is coming up...
The last, I've been told, is creepy-weird. Mind you, when I was making it, all I was thinking was blurred, sleep and clouds and daydreams, but the end result appears a bit darker than I meant.

If you like what you see friend me! More are always coming, and no need to ask! Feel free to look at my past entries and take, just don't comment on every single one. :D

Feel free to friend me! More icons are always on the way!
