[icons] Twilight 08 icons

Good Sunday, kids!

This tiny 8-icons post is so ridiculous I refuse to call it "batch". On the most, I was experiencing with old colorings I have already used in the past. These icons are mostly also a homage to my dear

lilipsiquehd a die-hard fan of Twilight, which by the way I haven't started reading yet. So, here we go, 8 icons made of Twilight trailer caps by

schneefloeckli @t

swizzmizz_caps.

Teaser? Well... Three icons out of eight is not really a teaser, it's a whole give-away! :D

Have fun!

ps: Since I've been out of business for a while and this post is basically a test, would you guys mind giving me some feedback on the coloring of these? I know they ain't groundbreaking stuff, but I preferred to stick to old known techniques before trying anything more experimental.

[icons] 17 Umbrella themed batch

Hi, kids!

Wow... It has been such a long time... I can't say the hiatus is over, but I do really enjoyed these bases with umbrellas by the great

lore_85, and decided to make a quick post of some icons. They are not that great, but bear with me - I am coming back slowly! SO, for today we have 17 umbrella-themed icons. It's rainy season somewhere ( not here in Brazil, for sure... ) and I know you all could use some icons!

So, with no more, TEASER!! Because I am sure you've missed them!

HIATUS

This community is on a almost-permanent hiatus state. I am way to busy with RL and I lost my flair for icon-making. I used to have time to look for new stuff, study tutorials, find good bases... I am out of time and out of patience ans well. It has been an amazing experience with all of you. I am proud of every little icon I have made through the years, but I am afraid I have nothing more to offer to the icon community. I hope to come back some day - more inspired, more energetic Until then, I thank you very much for sticking with me and for the support. I also invite all of you who are coming here for the first time to browse the archives and check what has been made here. Thanks again for everything and hoping for a bright soon return.

Ok, this is my first GazettE batch and I know it is not pretty good. It is not my fault the PV has such shades and colors that only look good in motion. Trying to color tem was murder, but well, here they are. At least I had fun capping the video and cropping the bases :D

So, for today, I intrduce you 15 GazettE icons, from the PV Guren.

A little teaser to get you motivated:

[icons] 95 multifandom: stock icons, harry potter, dir en grey

Hello, sweeties!

It's Carnival in Brazil and here I am making icons. It's raining, damn it.

So, I am back with Harry Potter icons. I had been thinking a lot in a new HP icon batch, but couldn't find inspiration. I found out that the lack of inspiration was connected to the awfully poor caps I had. Yesterday I just stumbled across this wonderful site with really high quality caps and then, all of a sudden, I felt the urge to make more HP icons. Here they are, a fairly modest 26 batch, with the usual simpleness - just playing with colors. I think the OotP was way to dark and that's why I am quite satisfied with this batch that is very bright and colorful.

Nearing Valentine's Day all good hearted people prepare base sets with sweeties... I am on a diet and so are many friends of mine. Especially for

lilipsiquehd who asked me for chocolate icons! Here they are, honey! There are 38 icons, very "traditional" coloring. Still, they are a good batch. Once again, jrock icons. 31 Dir en grey icons. The coloring is a bit disappointing - I am still not sure of what colors fit jrockers better. Anyway, the pictures are worthy, nice photoshooting.

MENU:

[26] HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
[38] STOCK ICONS: SWEETS AND CHOCOLATE
[31] J-ROCK DIR EN GREY

= 95 ICONS.

And the almight teaser, because I know you love them ( ps: after the cut, jrock teasers )

one.

two.

three.

( Accio icons! )

[icons] 43 Dir en Grey Icons

Hello, sweeties!

One more j-rock post! Ok, 43 more icons for Dir en Grey - Kyo-centered at the most. I was actually using extra pictures I hadn't used for the previous posts. So, have fun. I tried some text in these, but being aware of how much I suck at that, I provide the textless version as well.

So, here we go with the hyper-super-teaser we can't enough of:

( You know you want them... )

You know the chant...

NO: hotlinking, editing, claiming as your own.

YES: comment, save, enjoy, nominate, credit, pimp.

[icons] 111 multi-fandom icons ( Naruto, HP, Death Note, jrock, stock )

Hi, my darling icon-lovers!

I am back for good this time. I had problems with my old pc to the point I had to buy a new one. Therefore, I was away from my icn making activities. Now I'm on vacation, with anew computer and a better conexion to the internet and hopefully I will be here more often. Thanks for sticking with me and this community for so long. I am truly grateful. So, what do I have for my kids today?

Well, I am no Naruto fan, but I found these bases and they had such a wonderful coloring! So, you have 08 Naruto icons. More Death Note icons - manga and movie. These are from an old unposted batch I had in store before my old pc crashed. Sorry, Harry Potter fans - I still don't have the sreencpas of OotP and because of that I am posting this more-than-humble batch of 06 icons that are like "appreciation" icons, to show your love for the books now that the series are done. I have a HUGE bacth of jrock icons - my first ones - for the band that has touched my heart with their metal songs. Oh, I love metal so much... I invite you all to visit the link and check them out. Maybe, listen to the band a little? :D

Ok, enough of my blabbering. This is the menu:

[08] Naruto
[08] Death Note manga
[15] Death Note movie
[06] Harry Potter
[05] Stock

+ 59 jrock icons for Dir en Grey band here. I posted them in a different entry because it was x-posted to communities that do not accept off-topic icons. So, they are available through this link.

And here your OH-so-loved teaser!
