6. HAZEL NOOOOOO. He's one of my favorite characters in Saiyuki currently. ): Dammit. MY FAVORITE VILLAINS ALWAYS GET BADENDS. DX

11. HI HIRUMA I've contemplated doing that once or twice. XD

16. That's Wild Rock, isn't it. :o ♥!

30. ... XD Favorite scene in that movie, holy crap. I still can't believe that actually HAPPENED. ♥♥♥ ILU STARDUST.

50. Honestly, I feel this secret would've been more apt 50 years ago. D|

51. OLD-SCHOOL FTW. \o/

54. ... Right, and ALL OF US who happen to RP more than one character should basically sit down, acquire 15 bases, spend time CLEANING THEM, and then spend the time making brushes and textures and oh, you know, how about we make our own fonts, too? 15 TIMES. FOR EACH CHARACTER. I don't know about you, but I'm already enough of an RP loser, I don't need it sapping any MORE of my time. :|

And fyi: some people ARE flattered by having their icons used, and some people even gift icons to others. Shocking, innit?

67. ... Whut. What the fuck. NOT COOL. That's BASIC DECENCY, wtf fandom, why do you keep dropping it. :||

69. Throw in the mammoth and we'll talk. |D

70. ... brb being paranoid noaw. )8

75. Big Fandom Syndrome rofl. :/ And you're one of what authors? The ones you'd read or the ones you'd scorn? :||

Honestly, TeniPuri is one of the few fandoms where I've been able to find enough quality fare to outweight the horrid.

LOL I'm actually having to do that (find bases, make icons from scratch) for one of the characters I'm about to app. IT'S TAKEN ME ABOUT 3-4 DAYS OF REREADING SO FAR. :|; I still don't have an icon. Ahhh, well, I guess I don't mind.

[identity profile] abiding.livejournal.com 2008-05-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I had to do it for an OC of mine. I wanted her hair color (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=sparkingly) to be brown instead of its canon silver-violet, and it wasn't even 15 icons lol. I also did her profile picture (http://sigillums.scribblewiki.com/Arianna_Cardozo) at her Wiki. I don't even remember how long it took but it so took me at least 3 days and nights to finish and clean that one page, and a month for those what, eight icons? XD

BIG HINT: When you do find a page you want for your character, use a place like Manga Rooter (http://www.mangarooter.com/) to find hi-def images. :D Just open the image in another window!

My problem is that my fandom doesn't make icons of my character. I've only found about 3-4 throughout the entire fandom, various fans' journals and fancomms. IT'S THOROUGHLY DEPRESSING. D|

But because I love him, I shall persevere. :c And I've been using Mangarun, which I'm pretty sure operates from the same images, rofl. The problem is that some of the best pages I want to icon from look like this (http://www.mangarooter.net/eyeshield21/eyeshield21_168-169/169_16.JPG). C-C-C-CLEANING MAX. )8;; And then I have to color it and argh. OTL

Oh god, I hate scans like that. Good luck!!

54 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-05-16 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I was in a wanky mood as I explained in somewhere else D: D: D: D: D:
Like, after the secrets for this week went up I was afraid for when I'd see mine. :/

by the way: typefaces are a pain in the ass to make. Like, I've been trying to make some on and off. It's pretty ridiculous. There are a lot of glyphs you need to draw: lowercase, caps, punctuation, numbers, special characters... And making sure they all fit together properly. And making sure that they resize well/are sized well in the first place. And making sure that they're all similar looking, from the same font. So much workkkkkkkk. Plus, the software to do it is tough to find. It's a major time investment, and I'd argue one that's harder than Photoshop itself.

WE ALL HAVE OUR FOOT IN MOUTH MOMENTS. /o/

As for fonts, o lawd I just go for these (http://www.dafont.com/). XDDD I used to look at pixelfont in other people's icons and then draw my own letters in MS Paint, but that took forever. :|;;

LOL.
You=win....so does your Hiruma icon. :)
