THIS ENTRY ACTUALLY STARTED OFF AS A REVIEW FOR AAA'S LATEST SINGLE but I ADD'ed. I guess I'm just not cut out to review music. Maybe some other time dfku;hlsxdfjk (though I do recommend giving it a listen, I rather liked it). Anyway, I'd actually been working on this piece during my last post but I got distracted with Hetalia uhhh sdfajklhsdjkf it was meant to be something fancier but I started getting annoyed with it, which is why you have the insanely crappy background and insanely crappy coloring and insanely crappy clothing design and insanely crappy insane crap. :) Nah, I think I ruined it a bit with the extra coloring but I'm too lazy to go back and fix it at this point. It's definitely not the most hideous thing I've ever done, but I'm not as happy with it as I wanted to be. :| But that's probably hard to satisfy so I'll deal with it.

djkfhlzdj it's been four months since I last posted here. You can see why I decided to combine everything into one journal instead of having a separate icon journal, art journal, etc. :| Anyway, today I present to you the United Kingdom, from Axis Powers Hetalia! I tried out a new coloring style here which I usually reserve for manga colored icons only, so it might look a little strange, but compared to my previous attempts at using this technique on larger pictures I think it came out okay. I needed to post something here anyway and this is the first piece I've finished in a while, so uhhh I hope you like it etuiashkd oh and crits are very welcome, thanks

Feel free to icon my artwork if you want to. Since you're reading this post and therefore know the source, credit would be very nice (and even if you find it on 4chan I stuck my domain on it lol), and letting me know so I can gloat would be even better, but as long as you don't claim it as your own or repost it or do anything obviously stupid, I don't see the big deal.

page_battle officially gave permission to post our pages, so here are mine! Actually, before page_battle opened I had never really colored an entire manga page before, so I was pleasantly surprised when I did rather well though monochroma said I color my own work so I shouldn't try to fool everyone with, "oh it's my first time /blush" I wanted to practice coloring more since it's one of my weak points, so looking back at the stuff I did during my time there I'm glad to see (I think) some improvement.

Feel free to use these pages for whatever you want but please comment and credit me (either creators or royeality is fine) if you do. Thanks, and enjoy!

So, opening this place up with an icon post! I was considering making an archive for my old work, but it's too much of a pain and I'd rather start fresh. I probably won't bother to delete the old community anyway, so if you're interested you can still find my old icons at komoriuta_icons. Anyway, some of these are a bit old, namely the Ibara no Ou icons which I made back in July for robotsex's ORFC challenge (I never did get up to fifteen so I figured I should just post them before I forgot), but then again with the way I post icons 90% of them are old etsdiwufhzxjkd. There are some SuzuHaru genderswap fanart icons in here -- don't bother complaining about iconing fanart because I really couldn't care less. A bit of Higurashi too, in anticipation of the movie coming out next month. Other than that most of the miscellaneous icons are from icontests (shoujo_battle with a bit of animelims), though there are a few new ones. I think that's all there is to say, so go ahead, take a look, and enjoy!

TEASERS;


( happiness, sadness, hate reflected in my eyes )

Thought I'd try opening tutorials for once, so if there's anything you'd like a tutorial of feel free to request it. Keep in mind that my PSP files are a bit messy so there may be a few I can't do, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask!

I'm open to affiliation with any related communities, which I assume will mostly be icon journals or media-sharing journals. If you have something else you think fits in (an art journal, for instance), feel free to ask and I'll consider it.

In the meantime, just comment on this post if you're interested in affiliating. For icon communities, I do ask that you include four sample icons (mostly so I can pretty up the page).
