Icon Post -404 [most singular...]

AAH these are so lovely! Snagging more than a few, namely 6,8,11 and 14, with thanks. I really, really love the colour and balance of 14.

wai! thanks! @_@ Most of these are experiments so I'm glad you liked how they turn out. ^_____^

Lovely colouring work! *___* I've never been able to work up the courage to attempt that, eheh.

Photoshop is fabulous ~~once you get over the trauma~~. The only thing I would mention as feedback - which you can ignore, because hey, I don't know you and my PS skills are kinda non-existant XD - is that sometimes the effects and brushes you used detract/are invasive to the actual image. Like in 16, personally I would either erase the parts of the brush that're covering Hikaru face a bit or use a different blend mode (or both). But that's personal preference, obviously! What brush did you use for the top part of 16, btw? It's really pretty.

Photoshop is fabulous = how true. trauma = eagerly waiting for it to be over. X_X" Courage for coloring = nonexistent (I had to take drugs)

All of these icons had to be redone over and over just because I couldn't decide what I wanted to do. -_-" Or maybe just because I'm a freak. Yeah I was a bit nervous posting because I've colored most of these icons. @_@"

Hehehhe as for comments on how I made them are v. welcome. I agree with you that most of the time the garnishes need to be obsessively managed so they will help the base image. You can use textures instead if brushes don't do the job. 16 was difficult because the picture was already colored and I wanted a sort of...watercolor bleeding something like that effect ~~(with flowers)~~. -_-" I hope you can catch my drift. No brushes were used just textures with diff blend modes. Set that flora texture to linear burn. Oh, it's from

tragic_icons if you're interested.

Sorry. I'm still on a PS freak phase. -_-'

Beautiful job on these *____*

Taking 16, which is stunningly gorgeous, and 23, because lkdkanvsdnsdndj kissing *__________*

[link] [reply]

23...you mean 18? @_@ Ehehehe it's yours whatever number it is. ^_^" I think my table is confusing...I got confused too. @_@"

thanks! ^_^ ♥

[link] [parent] [reply]

*laughs* Make that 11 and 18 then. I entirely blame how stunned and in awe I was looking at the icons not to notice properly how they were labeled ♥

[link] [parent] [reply]

♥Wahehehe thanks again for liking them! My head is starting to weigh like a ton. :3

[link] [parent] [reply]

waaa... i love these! snatching #13, #17 and #18, will credit when use ^^
thank you!

[link] [reply]

Snatching = love. Thank you! ^_^

[link] [parent] [reply]

These are lovely ^^ Snatching #11, #13, #14, #16 and #23. Will credid.

[link] [reply]

I'm really surprised people like #11 since it was a hit and miss. ^_^" Thank you for adopting my icons. ^______________^ I'm v. happy.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Ooh, pretty! *clapclap* You really use brushes well...makes me wish my icon program supported brushes. XD

As for concrit, hmm...the only thing I recommend is borders on some of them, especially the types like 8, 12, 14, etc. (You have the right idea with 1-3.) Even a solid, 1px border of a complimentary colour can make an icon stand out, and these deserve to be outstanding! ^^; Also, sometimes a border around text that matches the background colour can make anti-aliasing look nicer, but sometimes not. I think you did that on 14, so...you're fine. XD

[link] [reply]

Wahehehe! Thanks for the con crit! ^_________^

Most of the effects are produced by textures. Yes, even the light/shadow effects on hikaru and akira's faces ~~because I'm terrible with painting shadows~~ . The weirdly placed hearts and dots are the brushes. What icon program do you use? @_@?

Borders exist on 1-3 because ~~frankly I'm at a loss on what to do with them~~ the cleaned screencaps look weird without borders. I'm glad you think it looks good on the screencaps. ^_______^

XD I'll keep that border thing in mind next time ~~oh god~~ . ^_________^ Thanks again for concrit. ♥

Thanks for thinking these icons are nice. ^_________________^ Much love.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oooh yes, I like textures. I use PhotoImpact 10.

And of course. ♪ ^__^

[link] [parent] [reply]

♥ Not sure if you remember this, but thanks for the advice on borders. Now I make it a habit to put a faint border around the icon. It DOES make anti aliasing better ! Not all the time, but, well, it works. ^_^ ♥ ♥

[link] [parent] [reply]

i love it. 18, 20, 22 is very good. will credit=)

[link] [reply]

Er...would you mind telling me who you are? @_@" Just curious...

As for the icons: Thank you Thank you! Take em away! ^_^ I'm happy you love them. XD

[link] [parent] [reply]

Took 7, 14, 16, and 18. Will credit. These are all just lovely, and this is seriously your first time using Photoshop? *dies of jealousy* My icons all look like crap, and I've been using Photoshop for a few years now. Sigh. *no artistic sense*

[link] [reply]

Wai! Thank you for adopting them! :) And yeah, seriously, it's my first time to use Photoshop. @_@" 1 icon took days and a lot of meds. XD

I looked at your LJ because you smelled like a fic writer. XD Sorry for stalking. AAahh your layout is sooo gorgeous! You made the layout? :3 It's v. v. pretty.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well, those icons are just gorgeous, so all your trouble was worth it! Very impressive.

Hey, don't feel bad, I always love people looking at my LJ. Haha. And I am guilty of being a fic writer (although not a HikaGo fic writer, just yet, *currently working to remedy that*). Although my LJ's gone through some radical changes today, since I was adopting a new layout. My current layout wasn't made by me (I have the html skills, but completely lack the artistic ones), but was created by

premade_ljs, where there are some really fabulous layouts.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Thanks for liking my icons. XD XD *feels inspired*

"just yet" Hahha! I'll be waiting for that. Aik I thought you made it. *feels dumb* No matter, you're v. v. v. artistic XD YOur peacemaker fic is love. *_____* *still feels fuzzy*

[link] [parent] [reply]

Snatching 14, 16, and 23 because they're just gorgeous. And I don't think I've ever seen Akira look like #13. XD

Thanks~! Will credit! :D

[link] [reply]

Thank you for taking them! ♥ ^______________^ *feels loved*

13 is from the RinLow (http://www.d3.dion.ne.jp/~rinlow/) doujin called Summer Children. :3 You can view and check out their other scans at Dragonfly (http://dragonfly.raygungeisha.com/index.html)

Enjoy!
