I read a tutorial last night and I tried making my own textures based on that tutorial. I'm not quite sure about the outcome though... I still hope you like it! :)

So here it is:

I made some textures around 2 months ago, and never really got around to post them. These are beginner-quality, I'm sure, but hopefully someone might like them.

So, uh, textures for my first ever post here in the community! *throws confetti*

</div></div>

Two months (I think) and still no posts... But that is the sad truth. Mana-chan is on a hiatus because of the difficulty in accessing the web and due to her tiring hospital duty, and high school is hectic and my exams are crawling their way up to me, hence the long absence.

I promise that the icons are coming, albeit a little slowly. I think the soonest time they'll come is by the end of August, but who knows? Homework is quite irregular, sometimes there's none and sometimes there's plenty, so it just might depend on the work Mana-chan and I are doing.

So, until then, the community might be a bit empty. Not a hiatus or a semi-hiatus, I tell you, but we just might not be around for some time.

I'm hoping to see you soon!

Since this is basically my graphics community, I thought I'd just post here whatever awards I manage to get. :)

I had to do this post all over again because LJ managed to mess my cuts. D8

So much thanks to these people who have made my icon-making possible.

So, basically, you can apply to become affiliates here. ^^

Present at least 3 icons as samples, and if you are managing a community with 2 other people or more, please present one icon for each icon-maker.

I'm a picky person (though I'm not sure if Mana-chan is as well), so I might not like some icons. No hard feelings, really. ♥

Here are our samples:
