WAAAAH, heaps of stuff today :D I made a few icons (inspired by the LotR marathon I had last weekend) and thought I should finally make the resized wallpapers I promised like a million years ago.

FV: "SHH"

fandom: Alice Nine (gosh, I miss the dot already ;o;)
pairing: ToraxSaga
music: "Shh" by Frou Frou

notes: huffy_chan made a mind-blowing ToraxGacchi video around a year ago. Some of you might've seen it in Youtube; it's called Never to Know and it's just plain amazing. It's one of those videos that make your heart go very big before exploding^_^

So, I have no chance to surpas that. However, I've been wanting to make something with this pairing for some time now, and esp since all I've been writing has been MiyavixShou lately, I really wanted to contribute. So, hopefully here's a sensual vid that suits our sensual pairing :) Please enjoy, and comments are appreciated like WOAH♥

The vid has a vague story behind it but due to the limitations of the material, I wasn't able to express it perfectly.

OH HOH HELLO MY DEAR NUMBERS 1-5 *o* I watched SLEEPWALKER today, and after choking on my own spazzing and goo, I downloaded the pv and made a few screencaps of which a few icons... evolved. There're not many of them behind the cut but I believe that this time, quality goes before quantity :)

Aaaalso, a small bunch of one of my favourite Jane Austen adaptions, Lost in Austen. It's based on Pride and Prejudice, and it stars Jemima Rooper and Hugh Bonnenville, etc. It's a humorous feel-good miniseries, give it a try if you only can. It doesn't happen everyday that a period drama has lesbian gags in it XD;

ICONS:

A new icon batch. Quality is what it is, but the fandoms, the fandoms are superb >D Because this is an all-star post, people! Hotties from the very beginning till the very, very end. Plus some Kra 8D

Firstly, some D'espairsRay, since I'm still very hyped-up by their concert I attended some time ago. Then MUCC, because hey, D'espairsRay and MUCC belong together, yeah? Lastly some sexually arousing stuff in the form of Kiyoharu (♥), Kagrra dorkyness and a bit of Saga and Kra. Also, the post includes some random Moomin icons (Because I really really really wanna tattoo Snufkin under my skin~~ I haven't been able to find a perfect picture, though.) and a few random Ougon Kishi GARO icons for the amusement of the tokusatsu fans around (if there are any, that is).

Hey ho, let's go:

ICONS

.MUCC x7
.Kiyoharu x5
.Kagrra, x7

EDIT: Lol, I've been a bit mixed up with all my accounts, so if you see weird BCL-related comments, it's just me logged into a wrong account. Le sigh. *a complete technology failure*

Graphics, ladies and gentlemen, and not just any kind of graphics: we're talking about pairing pretties here!^__-

Okay. The size and shape varies throughout the set so except for two banners that I made clearly for profile usage, I don't know what these are. I was blending some ShouPon and these were... born. You can use them as you wish -as headers or lovebars or whatever you can come up with. Remember to credit and Rii stays happy~

Today: Fan art and how it's made! ^o^

Okay, so, this fan art post is a little different from the others. Firstly, because with this post, I'm showing step by step how I sketch and draw, and secondly, because the subject is kinda special~ I read this lovely, lovely fic by seed_inyou called "Written in the Stars" a while ago. The fic is locked, you have to be a member of aliceinloveland in order to read it, but shortly, it's a story about Saga getting shot and the last minutes he can spend with the man he loves. There were a few lines in it that I've been rolling over in my head and finally I just had to draw a little something^___- (dunno really how the writer herself will react 8) hopefully I didn't rape her visions completely *sweat*).

Okayyyy, people, who wants to see it?^o^\,,/ Here we go: fan art and how it's made.

( Now you can't cheat on me with any angels )


Hopefully you enjoyed seeing this 'tutorial' type of presentation!^__^ Comments, critique, cookies and vodka, everything is welcomed with open arms. This is the first time since forever I've crossposted fan art anywhere outside my journal, so I'm really curious to hear how you feel about the piece. AND! GO AND READ THE ORIGINAL FIC BY seed_inyou! Here's her writing journal, I guess you will find the fic there as well :)

For my previous fan art pieces (mainly of PS Company), please visit this post and scroll down to the fan art section.

FAN ART "I'M SORRY FOR YOUR WORRY"
Saga//alice nine.
pencils 3h - 4b, watercolor pencils without water, ink
time used, approx. 3,5h
title stolen from a Christian Walz song Why you wanna save me

-------------------------------------------------------

He doesn't much look like Saga, but the original picture that I used for preference was Saga cropped from a group shot... So, I say, Saga fan art this is XD;

Lately, the idiotic boyfriend-related stress got out through this art piece and it probably shows. Firstly, the whole time, I kept changing the picture until it looked like... oddly, how I felt. Secondly, why I started drawing this, was because his posture appealed strongly to me, especially the loosely folded arms, as if he's covering a hole after a blow. Therapy session, yes.

And if you're wondering why the picture leaves you a bit uneasy, it is because there's practically no mouth on his face :) "I'm sorry for your worry", yeah.

SO, DEDICATED TO THAT JERK BOYFRIEND OF MINE. BE HAPPY. I sure am~

( I'm sorry for your worry )

Enjoy♥

It's time for celebration, babies!^o^ blindcottonlove has crossed the magical number of a 100 members! Thank you everybody for friending the journal! Hopefully, in the future, I can continue bringing HQ graphics, screen caps and fan art pieces to you~♥

Your normal dose of Jstuff, plus... Prince Caspian♥ Because Ben Barnes equals to eyecandy~<3

Lots of variations; mainly textless. I got stuck playing with colors, so I really didn't have energy left for final tweaking and deco'ing. Lately, some of you have preferred textless icons to my normal flourish and swirly graphics... I'm quite curious to see how this batch is welcomed^^

YOSH! Less talk, more PRETTY BOYS~! \o/

Things you should be aware of before attacking this post:

.I love Last Friends. Love, as in, want to have its drama babies♥
.essin said I should experiment more with large graphics
.I'm a hopeless romantic ^.^

There.

So, what the hell have those things to do with anything? :D

The wallies hiding behind the cut are song wallpapers. They've been made inspired by certain songs and each of them include a quote from the lyrics. With the second wallpaper set I pushed the idea one step further, squeezing a jdrama to it as well... Have a look at them yourselves ^__-

.WALLPAPERS
.set01: alice nine. "Made to Heal" x3 (+3)

.set02: alice nine. "Last Friends (vers. alice nine.)" x5
