Long time no post. Sorry went a little Subaru and Seishiro crazy, I just really really adore that pairing (even if it's tragic). Loving the new V, it is quite good :) and Yay for new movies (though I'm a touch miffed Pegasus is not white). Again crazy colouring, I have quite a few with the cloudy background - that was fun :)

Instead of just having icons and what not in this journal I shall also put up some of the recent art works I have been working on, mirrored a little with My DevArt account - not all at that account will appear on this community though. Links for larger versions to the DevArt submissions.

Another bunch of my wackily coloured and constructed icons. Funny thing with the Kanda 'got exorcist?' icon is just what popped into my head when I made the bulk of the icon. Then I thought I'd do a collection of them.
I even used my own cute kitty!Allen art in this bunch (how self endulgent). So anyway enjoy this bunch of icons of some regular fandoms and a couple of new movies (Clash of the Titans had better live up to its predecessor).

Icons: [6] Code Geass, [8] Alice in Wonderland, [8] Bleach, [8] Hellsing, [8] Trigun, [14] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I'm still alive, just been super busy with getting married, watching all of Bleach (yep ALL of it, wish the 3rd movie would get subbed (if you have subs please let me know) and not to mention getting some Copic Markers and just becomeing obsessed with them. So here are a few small batches of recent movies/shows and some of the older fandoms that have been hanging around these past months. Don't worry there will be more Transformers icons, I have a record to beat ;) Some of these I've been hanging onto a while. Sorry.

ZOMG Transformers was awesome, though I'm biased of course ;)

Any typos let me know, I'm sure my fever deranged mind left some in.

Edit: Agh! Stupid LJ puting the post automatically to Friends Only when in this PUBLIC community.

Again my weird and wacky colouring and texturising playing around, went a little Xingke crazy this time. And Cain, Thores's Cain is simply beautiful.

Iconning Tips and Tricks



Instead of writing a tutorial on how to do a specific icon here are a collection of tips and tricks that I have been using, these have been obtained from the various tutorials found on icon_tutorial which is a great place to start for any iconner. I will be using a variety of sample images, these are to best demonstrate the tip.
These will not be comprehensive step-by-step procedures on how to get effects just some ideas to get you started. Aimed at all levels and includes:

Black and White tips, using Exclusion, Luminosity, Yellow Soft Light Layers and Textures.

Went a little red crazy with The Next Doctor icons, I just adored Miss Hartigan's dress! Then I went text crazy in Tropic Thunder, if you want any of them without the text let me know I can strip it off for you ;) And yeah um, this Code Geass set has splashes of Orange-kun and Luluko *cough*. Again my colouring is very different than the 'norm' might be a little too grey for some ;)

Icons: [10] James Bond: Quantum of Solace, [12] Batman: The Dark Knight, [12] Watchmen, [15] Sarah Jane Adventures, [16] Death Note, [36] Code Geass

Again gone a little texture crazy and pink now that I look at it ;) The textures and colouring works differently on the anime icons, decided not to wait till I finished my Code Geass bunch cause I have a feeling that will get bat shit crazy out of control ;) That and my VM with photoshop is driving me crazy.
Oh yeah and a pimp for topgear_aust for any one interested in that show :)

Twas a request I saw at doctorwho that some others might want, only 7 caps (avi provided in the first comment too ;))

( Doctor Who: Ninth and Rose - Hug )

218 caps of the mp4 trailer from the http://www.007.com website. Auto-capped so I missed a good shot of the Aston vs Alpha =( Credit is nice, comments are appreciated.

( Samples & Links )

Massive Mix this time, and these are in order of batch size, smallest at the top, got a different sort of creative with colouring, textures and what not. Some batches are muted some overtly colourful *cough* KITT *cough* And whoever came up with the idea of the {} around text, you are a lifesaver ;)

Icons: [3] Legend of the Seeker, [10] Sarah Connor Chronicles, [10] Samurai Jack, [12] Smallville, [12] Knight Rider, [22] Stargate (Ark of Truth, SGA), [22] Batman: The Dark Knight, [22] Hellboy 2, [31] Samurai Champloo

Sneaky LJ have changed the URL of the icon.gif and community.gif images so when you mask them out in your CSS it doesn't work.
Edit: June 2009 They changed the URL again. About the same time as last year so I've guessing around April next year it will get changed again - if not earlier.

No matter I have a fix:
( Icon Masking Fix )

Been a while, I've taken a different stance to icon making: Experimentation above 'batching' so here are a bunch of experiments. Also Since Jazz was on Transformers Animated I simply couldn't help myself, wont be posting to TF communities so if you see these they are 'exclusives' to this comm :D
One banner on offer, the one sported on this community.

Icons: [14] Spiderman (Movies), [6] Supernatural (Season 3), [8] Transformers Animated (S2), [20] Doctor Who (S4) spoilers for seasons mentioned
Banners: [1] Ashes to Ashes
