Treat, Not Trick

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 03:03:16 GMT

I realize that it probably would have made more sense to wait to post my Vampire Knight icons until tomorrow (Halloween) and post these earlier (Cardcaptor Sakura is kind of too cute and pink for Halloween), but oh, well. Here is a not-so-fitting Halloween present. ^_^;

Tears of a Vampire's Blood

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 18:46:20 GMT

These are dedicated to a friend of mine who is very nearly obsessed with the anime Vampire Knight (and, for that matter, with vampires in general). I confess, I enjoyed looking for images with which to make these icons; Vampire Knight artwork is very pretty to look at.

A friend of mine who is a huge Gundam Wing fan asked me to make some icons for her. However, I don't know much about the series (I personally am not that fond of Wing), so feedback is appreciated.

It's the stuff of horror movies. Only these demons and zombies aren't the soul-sucking, life-draining kind. Who ever said your nightmares couldn't be good?

Whassup, Dog?

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:55:20 GMT

The InuYasha manga may have ended almost two months ago (after a 12-year-long run--whew!), but that doesn't mean that it's too late to commemorate the end of yet another great serial by Queen of Manga Rumiko Takahashi. So even if this "celebration" is long overdue, here are some icons both for the folks celebrating this series' end, and for the die-hard fans mourning the loss of their favorite dog demon (whether that be Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru).

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:30:11 GMT

The Shinigami have been lost among the ninjas, but they finally wheedled their way out of the throng and let me know, loudly and clearly, that they're alive, kickin', and waitin' for their due--which, I admit, has been long in the waiting. (They also demanded to know why those darned ninjas have been getting so much more attention, but I couldn't answer that one.)

I had a surprising amount of trouble finding a lot of Organization XIII images - I even went searching for screenshots. So I don't know if I will be able to make more Organization XIII icons after this (although I have a couple more images of Axel that I can make use of). If people want more of the Organization, then you'll have to give me images, unless I come across a huge image source that I missed. Sorry. :(

There will be more where these came from ~~and I will exhaust more image sources~~.

With summer comes free time galore, and for gamers, that means making a home on the couch, game controller in hand, snacks at side, eyes fixated to the 3D avatars flailing around on the screen (and if you're playing the Wii, chances are you're flailing with them).

For yours truly, free time means making more icons. Icons + love for gaming = video game icons.

I know there are people out there who are aching for Kingdom Hearts avatars. If you're one of those people, and the avatars I have here are not enough to satisfy your craving - if there is a particular character you love who is not in any of these avatars - commission an avatar. I will be more than happy to satisfy your hunger ~~for Xemnas's coat~~.

While my friends are doing last-minute costume preparations for an anime convention, I'm logging a different kind of costume party - an anime parody-style costume party. Otherwise known as the adventures of the butler-who-looks-too-good-in-a-catgirl-maid-outfit Ayasaki Hayate and his friends (including Revolutionary Girl ~~Utena~~ Hinagiku). Enjoy!

Return of the Shinobi

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 17:58:52 GMT

It's been awhile since I've posted any avatars...

On another note, I AM still taking avatar requests. Some people mentioned to me awhile back a possible interest in commissioning avatars. Commissions not only give me avatars to create, but they inspire me to create other avatars, so I encourage everyone to request avatars. I promise I don't bite. ^_^

Is there a CLAMP series I have covered that you'd like to see more of? Do you have a favorite character whose face you feel hasn't shown up enough? You tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to put it in an avatar.

CLAMP Special - Part I

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:33:22 GMT

I honestly don't know what happened here. I think my creativity ran away with me again. Yesterday, I was thinking to myself, "I know a lot of CLAMP fans, so maybe I should do a CLAMP avatar special for them." Then I turn around and spit out nearly two dozen avatars. And I've only covered four of CLAMP's works.

As an aside, I do welcome critique on my avatars. If you think there is one that I could have made better (change the shadow/lighting, make the text larger, use a different font, etc.), don't be hesitant to speak up. That goes double for the CLAMP special, since I'm unfamiliar with most of these series and, to be frank, don't even know some of the characters featured in these avatars. So I'm relying on you CLAMP fans to straighten me out where I'm crooked.

While we're waiting for LittleKuriboh...

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 01:23:52 GMT

Thanks to all those Abridged Series avatars I've made, I have a ton of Yu-Gi-Oh! images sitting on my computer, some of which I haven't used. So I took those unused images and made avatars out of them, for you all to enjoy while we're waiting for LittleKuriboh to give us more Abridged Series. Also included here are Yu-Gi-Oh! avatars that I made for myself but either never used, don't use anymore, or don't mind sharing.

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 04:07:30 GMT

Praise on my other avatars (arigatou gozaimashita, taichou - you made my day!) inspired me to make more avatars. Another avatar-making frenzy, and before I knew it, I had more Naruto avatars on my hands than I knew what to do with. I can't use all of these, so I'm giving them to you all.

On another note, I am taking avatar requests. You can be as specific or unspecific as you want. The general rule is that I won't make avatars with content that is/can be racially, ethnically, or religiously offensive, and I won't make avatars with content that might cause my mental fortress to start crumbling (because then that's just not fun anymore; it's torture).

I got avatar-making happy yesterday after looking at some really funny avatars on Photobucket, and I decided not to wait until I'd made more before sharing these.
