( the obligatory friends information, updated 6/25/07 )

Been debating this for some time, and I'm finally going to do it.

Friends-cut. That means communities and people. If I cut you, there's a reason. If you want to know the reason, comment on this post. I might not add you back, though.

I'm just not looking forward to ?skip=400 Monday morning. Have a nice weekend.

ETA: From 253 journals and communities to 163. Yeah, told you I wasn't kidding...

I bring you... 23 icons, most of which I made last night. I'm experimenting with a watercolor feel. I would like to extend my utmost thanks to jinarocks, for the Eriol/Sakura fanart I colored, caesyrian for the wonderful CCS manga bases I colored, and gender for all of the textures I used.

So I have next week off from work. Don't really expect any internet presence-- I'll have like 20 min before class Tues. and Thurs. to make an attempt at the f-list. Something important? Email me!

( Some keyboard vomit about relationship roles that you probably won't find interesting. )

I'll lie and say I've been creative this month... Here's 3 icons and an assortment of banner things. Click on the thumbnails to get to the real banners.

CCS
2x large Eriol/Sakura banners for friends-only or headers

I'll stop spamming after this, I promise. In honor of my day off school, and in sympathy for Tat-chan, here's an icon post. There's a whole 50 icons here, wow. But most are variations. I was going to put the numbers on top, but I clicked the button early, and no way was I going to put in 51 URLs again. Oh, and one of the Meiling icons is a double. Oopsies.

Resources post here.

( CCS, misc )

Somewhat dial-up friendly, about 25 icons... Three S&S variations, Syaoran/Tomoyo friendship, a beautiful Eriol icon, Clow... And then I iconized some parts from Everything I Learned in Life, I Learned From CLAMP. More forthcoming.

And if that's not enough, I also have a super spiffy S&S header! Crossposting tomorrow.

( CCS gang )

( Evil takes the form of four Japanese mangaka. )

( header )

Someone requested a layout in green, pink, and white. I did the best I could, considering how much I hate these colors.... ^_^ Actually, I'm quite pleased. I'm leaving it up at i_bleed_words

( layout under cut )

Ahem. This post is an excuse to use one of the best icons ever. Go here for context, what there is. (warning of bad language, but it's so darn funny....) The sad thing is that this appears to be based on some sort of real song.

Flocking is done, but all icon posts will be public. In that spirit, here are a few more that tutorials have helped me with. Much thanks to all of the beginning tutorials in icon_tutorial , bloodregrets for a texture I have used on the Meiling icon (the pretty heart), and _middleofthesky for the bases.

Someone should totally go to Best Buy and buy me those $5 font CDs. I am seriously lacking in the font department. *makes note to go to BB*

( rika, meiling, kero, and a request )

Yay, my first shared code! Because I had to make something simple but awesome for the wallpaper.

( code under cut )

Ha. Made self Eriol/Sakura icon. Have had Photoshop for... one week or so. God bless tutorials.

ETA: Go read this awesome CCS doujinshi. Everyone is in character, and grown-up, therefore totally adorable... This honestly reads like a continuation of the series. Yay. ^^ Click the LEFT gallery button to read the story in order (for some reason).

Because I just got Photoshop and have been playing around with it. Credit is appreciated, and comments are loved. Last icon post here.  There's only these today.

       

The first one was a request from sky_pirate_tat and I'd appreciate it if no one else used it.  It's a gift. ^^

I need to post this for future reference for reviewers_inc.

Title:Safe Port in the Storm

Two more icons, per request from a friend.  Hope you like 'em, sheila_chan. ^_^

    

Well, I know this is a surprise, but a combination of my Paint skills and my wit have provided you with icons.  They are all about fanfiction and all based on one simple base.  If you want to use them, I ask that you credit me and comment here.  If you want different colors or want to suggest different sayings, then by all means leave a comment!
