Terminus Badges & HP Icons

  • Jul. 28th, 2008 at 2:27 AM
I did some super last minute badges for Terminus. If anyone is interested in them, they can get them off of Zazzle over here

Each badge/button can be as small as 1inch or even 4 inches big - and either square or round :)

I also made most of the them into icons for use on lj too :)

Favorite Icon Makers Showcase

Am stuck using random wireless networks, if and when they appear in the area. Am limited to checking email most of the time. BUT, this means I have more time to spend on cleaning, doing icons and catching up on stuff I was supposed to do for a while :) Speaking of which:

Progress as an icon maker

  • Nov. 20th, 2007 at 4:57 AM
Snagging from [info]bzzinglikeneon

So I'm tracing my icon-making skillz from 2005 to present. Always wanted to do this but...never really thought of myself as a hardcore iconmaker. Still, HERE I GO.

This post should not have taken so much time. Ignore if icon making is not of interest.

Tagging: [info]static_pixie, [info]sunsetsylvia, [info]lunacat, [info]myrasis, [info]phuck and...it's 4:30AM and I can't think. Go do it. Please?

Some icons I made for [info]maderr

Cute animals/creatures...with suggestive text. )

Now that voting for [info]hogsmeade_elite is done here are my icons. I had screencaps of Draco from ages back and I couldn't look for new caps in the time available...so it was all about Draco.

Icons - HIkaru no Go (OVA)

This batch of icons is for The Phuck Attack Icon Challenge.
 
As always, you can edit these (as long as credit is given for the bases)

BTW - these are on imageshack for now since they would not upload via semagic to scrapbook :(

I blame [info]phuck @ [info]last5 for these icons, since he posted up screencaps of the latest HP international trailer. They were so awesome, that I just had to do some graphics.

As always, y'all can totally edit these (as long as credit is given for the bases)

Lee Jun Ki - Icons

  • Apr. 13th, 2007 at 2:55 AM
If I had to choose the single most stunningly attractive person in the world, Lee Jun Ki would be my choice. There's just a quality about him that you need to see on screen to actually *get*. Bah, anyway, here are the shiny icons...they've been sitting on my hard drive for a while though I finally finished them.

My Icon Index

  • Oct. 26th, 2006 at 1:51 PM
A problem has been building up - the issue of organizing all my icon posts - tags are useful, but when its used 40+ times...a bit cumbersome. And memories aren't too good either when it comes to icons - peeps need to see them, not just read about them.

So. I made a table and popped in a single icon from each icon post - the title above each icon a links back to the original post. The latest icon posts will be added at the bottom. Its like a photo album gallery except for icons.

My icons listed in one pretty directory )

Icons: Heroes - Genesis (Part 1 of 2)

  • Oct. 25th, 2006 at 10:54 PM
The first 15 icons are for [info]heroes_100 and the remaining ones are alternates/textless icons/bases. There are still more on the way. Feedback for these would be AMAZING since I tried a hell of a lot of new crap.

Photoshop & Lumos

  • Oct. 19th, 2006 at 4:49 PM
For the past several weeks I've noticed my Photoshop CS2 has been achingly slow- constantly freezing every couple of minutes and really laggy. I finally googled about it and found several solutions that helped eliminate the problem. Proof being that I ran a batch process through 2000+ screencaps and it was done by the time I woke up in the morning. Awesome.

On another note, I've been incredibly remiss in my participation @ Lumos. College tends to take over at this time of the year - BUT I did manage to participate in the Lumos Stillness contest and scoop 2nd prize! The theme was "Defense Against the Dark Arts" and this is my winning icon:

There is a definite lack of hindi movie icons on lj - and its so darn hard to find good screen caps too. Here's a small offering that includes my favorite Indian actress. Oh yeah, the Ouran icons are coming  soon ^___^

How do you find/pick/use icons?

  • Oct. 4th, 2006 at 11:34 AM
When I first ventured into the scary place known as LJ, I'd do this guerilla-type searching for icons. If I liked an icon someone was using I'd raid their userpic section. Actually, come to think of it, I still do that.

Then I began to find the peeps whose icons kind of "defined" a fandom for me - [info]carmendove for SPN, [info]literati for HP, [info]duskicons for SV etc.

Recently there've been a surge in Fandom Quality Icon communities. They claim to accept only the creme de la creme of icon makers and I must admit, when I don't obssess over a fandom's icons, I don't mind being picky- [info]good_hpicons for instance is a lifesaver for a fandom with way too may icons.

There is still the odd icon journal or two which I stalk for gorgeous icons - [info]timorousbeastie for instance- and the fandom icon communties that allow ANYTHINGOMGTOOMUCH - [info]supernatu_icons, [info]super_graphics, [info]stickettes etc.

But I think the top three which I could not live without are [info]basicbases [for true hidden treasures], [info]animeicons [for all my anime needs], and [info]takenote_icons [for the best of the best and for ALWAYS having new blood coming in].

But how the hell do I figure out what icons to pick? In the end I decided that while pretty is as pretty does, I wanted stuff that resonated with me -stuff that *emotes* what I was feeling like "omgSQUEE" even if it didn't expressly say it. So yeah, I think message and the vibe I get makes the decision.

What about y'all?

P.S- My current icon means "look at ME! I want your attention!!! I'm making a statement and you can't do anyth- omg don't hate me"

I'm back home and internet is up - so I'm just posting my latest batch of icons and get started on all the stuff that's been piling up ^___^

I also don't think I've ever been more IN LOVE with the Selective Colors tool in PS - can do such easy color effects with the click of a button (well, at least after you tweak and save custom color settings, that is). Still - LOVE.
