As requested by huffy_chan, here's a... request post XD

::I'm open for icon requests till the time being::

A few simple rules for those who want to request:

*Max 10 icons/requester
*PROVIDE ME WITH PICTURES. I will neglect requests that don't include material. Srsly, I'm too lazy to look for pictures of some movie or band I don't really know :p
*I'm open for any movie/tv show/idol/band/stock....
*icons only this time around
*ALSO! And this is important: state clearly if you want the icons to be for your personal usage only! If you don't, I will assume I can post the icons as open for anyone to grab^__-

That's it :) Have fun requesting!

Because I'm so very very tired, I'm not going to stop to babble like I usually do *yawns* But, Leslie, here it is: the combined award of the rounds three and four you so gloriously won^o^

( Harmony of December )

Remember, to win these fabulous prizes all you have to do is to enter BCL's more or less regular QUIZ COMPETITIONS! :DD The Kagrra-themed challenge is up and running now, hurry to submit your answers!^^b

...tutorial requests! :D

I could write a tutorial or two tomorrow evening or so, if you feel there's need for them^_- So, is there any specific icons you'd like to see tutorialized? I don't have all of the work files stored, so there are icons I'm not capable of re-creating but probably, I can provide some tips or tricks related~

I received a special request earlier today. Because of it's intriguing nature, I attacked the mission right away and completed fulfilling the request in two hours^^b

Request: Saga&Nao of alice nine.
Requested by and thus for private use only: huffy_chan
If she is willing to share the graphics, I won't object to it, of course *lol*

Includes "type A" and "type B" of the header x)

( Just prisoners of love )

So, whatcha think? :D Enthrilled by the re-discovered know-how on using textures, I've designed a series of song wallpaper sets. They're still on the state of thought, though, but if you'd like to see some more of this style right here, share your thoughts and let's see if I actually turn my ideas into graphics^__^

I've never tried out memes like this :D

stolen from pink_hairxtie
"The first 15 10 people to comment on this post get to request a sketch of a subject/character(s) of their choosing from me.
In return, they have to post this in their journal (well you can if you want). Post all fandoms you're willing to draw for."

Uh, 15 is too much, so I say 10 instead^_- But other than that, I'm sticking to the original meme.

( My fandoms )

And don't freak out if the styles in the art pieces vary -you might receive chibi stuff, inked and simply drawings or something detailed with pencils, depending on my mood/time/subject you choose... millions of things, that is^^

And you can just request, you don't have to post this. Of course it'd be fun, but hey, art isn't everybody's cup of tea~ (or you could alter it, offering to do something else in return; ficcies, maybe?)

REQUESTS:
1# les_cuki: Shuuji&Akira(&Nobuta)//Nobuta wo Produce
2# viridescere: AkixShinji//SID
3# lazypenguine: NaoxSaga//alice nine.
4# alinkie: ShouxHiroto//alice nine.
5# yuugure_requiem: AkiyaxIsshi//Kagrra,
6# tokyo_rhapsody: Tsumabuki Satoshi (or Hitsugi//Nightmare)
7# neo_valkyrie: Tora [//alice nine.] with Reita [//the GazettE]
8# essin: Teppei Koike
9# huffy_chan: KenzoxYumehito//Ayabie
10# pink_hairxtie: Miyavi

YES, FINALLY!! I'm starting to share the requests that have been hanging in the depths of my computer forever now\o/

Today just icons, because the motherfucking Photobucket refused to upload the headers. I don't like using Imageshack when posting graphics, because that site tends to eat pictures as time flies by. I like keeping my stuff visible and nicely organized^^ My PB account kept falling with the icons too ->took almost an hour to get everything uploaded ->I'm jittery and annoyed, so I surrender and try tomorrow again, HOPEFULLY with better luck.

But my dear ladies, let's see what I have brought you tonight, ne? :)

.REQUEST ICONS
don't use without the permission of the requester

.Audrey Hepburn x3
.Doctor Who x8
.Kamenashi Kazuya x5

+a super cute filler icon, starring.. Yamapi! ^^~<3

EXAMPLES



( Thank you, as always. BANG. )

Now, have I forgotten someone? ^^'
Requests on the way:
.LJ set Ayumi Hamasaki
.LJ set Kai&Pon
.a few jrock themed card decks

And if there's someone out there who wants to pamper me with a perfect ToraxSaga icon (because I seem to be totally incapable of making one *sighs*), I'll treat you with anything you want<3 I have no special requirements, as long as it's pretty and has Tora and Saga in it^___- BNW, colors, with or without text, anything goes~ Mmm, preferrably Gacchi with any other hairstyle than the Jewels one, that made him look old.. and Tora with glasses would be extra love~<3

I continue with the decks for a few more minutes and then I head to bed. Tadaa, I feel productive tonight^^b

*lol* I just abandoned this post without really closing/extending it^^ Go me~

So, since it has been confusing some people, I think it's time to make some decisions about my request policy.

I pretty much have too options here:
1)to play along my old rules. (Requests only when I have a special request post up)
2)to be ready to take requests all the time (which might cause stress and stomach pain in the long run)

I think I'll stick to my old rules :) At the moment, the request post is open, so go and request icons/LJ sets/headers there. I'm too tired to edit the actual post, so I'm saying here you can pretty much tell the old guidelines to fuck off *lol* Of course, if you want to give me that free hands and use the form, I won't complain ^__- But if you want to pick the pictures and texts, that won't bother me either. Just go, request and have fun ^-^

I'm accepting all sorts of requests till THE LAST OF JUNE.

I'll remind you regularly about the closing date, don't worry :)

Just please, understand this: I am no machine. I have other things in line, so you have to be patient, ne? But if it seems nothing happens, then you can poke me and ask if I have entirely forgotten you (actually, quite possible, knowing my well-airconditioned head *smirk*).

Happy summer holidays, everybody! School's over! It's time to head towards beach and ice cream bars! :D

Requested by Lisa (l_van); only for her usage, unless she decides otherwise~<3

yuugure_requiem, your set&the Audrey icon are almost finished too, so expect to see it later this week^^

Oh yes I'm goooood~! (Pffft modesty *lol*) I really like the structure of this set.. and after wasting so many hours on details which eventually didn't make the cut, I was pleased to see this project wasn't doomed for eternity. It's here, it's shiny-- and I seem to have a thing for these peachy tones atm^^

(Excuse my hyperness, I just got my Ayabie shirt and it's so kawaii with the chibi pictures on the back of it<3)

"Summary": Well, I didn't dig into this quite as "deeply" as I did with the silly_disco's layout, but it's been built of those elements which make me think about Lisa and her adorable comments: warmth, sympathy, wicked sense of humor and most of all, the mind of a romantic^_-

Honey, I'm glad we ran into each other^^~3

( 1 2 3 DIVE! )

Mmm, other news:

001: I signed to jmusic50! :D *excited* This is the first time I'm using a theme table. AND what is more, I picked two guys to be iconed at the same time! (yes, I do have too much sparetime *lol*) I'm not giving the names out yet, but the other man is someone I haven't iconed before and who was chosen by my sister (she had troubles finding suitable icons of him and asked me to make some^^). The other one, then again, is someone very dear to most of us<3

002: Would you like to see some FLIST ONLY type of posts in future? Like, locked entries including goodies exclusively for my flist?

003: *suddenly wearing a pimp!hat a'la Ruki* Remember my gorgeus affiliates! ^-^
tokyo_rhapshody (mmm, recently she changed her layout~<3 Hitsugi. Green. To die for.)
l_van
gceiling_icons
icons_whispered (loads of Heroes goodies! *happy*)
night_filth
insanance
meowshi_icons

004: I've started a few new fan art pieces^^ The one I'm most excited about is ToraxSaga pairing picture<3 Originally, I was going to study the different aspects and POVs of different pairings and love, but now it seems like I'm focusing on the broke-up situations. AoixUru one was rather melancholy and sad, and the new one will be.. well, less emotional, more realistic, fluffier (yes, I can combine a broke-up and sappy fluff xD), and I've decided to use my color pencils this time. It's scaring the shit out of me, but I need to develop that side too, so.. here we go. Two thumbs up for me, ne?^^'

005: Paula's Ayabie shirt will be posted here soon, as well as the shirt series thing I was talking about earlier^^

006: I got a request for a jrock card deck and I'm hoping to get it posted rather quickly, too, since the subjects are yummy<3

007: Loads of comments are waiting for replies -I will get to them eventually *lol* Thank you, everybody<3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good night, mis amantes^__^

Requested by les_cuki -for her usage only~<3

I'm now tackling your requests (you can still go and request; the REQ post will be open for a few more weeks or so), and here's the first set.

Quick "summary": This is for the loveliest of all the rotation communities, silly_disco. I've found so many divine bands through that comm (not to mention all the great PVs I've downloaded and used for iconing) that this request made me extra fluffy and I was so proud to create something for Leslie.
She asked for something happy, something.. suitable for silly_disco and that made me think -what kind of place silly_disco really is? As reading comments concerning the possible co-mods//closing the community I had one of those (rare)moments of realization; passion.

( And so passion became the keyword. )

Leslie, if you feel the userinfo thinggie is too small/simple/something, let me know and I'll fix it for you. It was just one of those spur of a moment graphics, so it might need a little more love to really bloom~
Oh, and yes, you'll get the matching icons too, which belong to the LJ set :) I haven't made them yet, but I thought you'd like to get your hands on coding, so I decided to post the stuff I already had for you. I'm almost finished with the PV icons (and guys, damn, the Arisu9 icons are amongst the best I've ever done~<3), so I'm likely to put them into the same post^^

Ah, I just added back the new friends of this journal and -drumming- now I have really crossed the magical line of 50 viewers! Thank you everybody for joining and commenting and everything you've done for me, you're all so special~<3

I'd like to remind you that THE REQUEST POST is still open, go and request here. Plus, if you want to HELP ME CHOOSE THE NEXT PV/MV ICONS go here in order to vote. There're 15 pvs on the said list, f.ex. Gazette, SID, MUCC and Alice Nine are waiting for your support^_^

My +50 VIEWERS SPECIAL will contain four parts, and the first part will appear within a few days.

Go comment, and have fun~! xxx

It's time to celebrate my fantastic flist, which has grown in covering 50 amazing LJ users! (Well, actually 48, but it's close enough~)Yey, now, give a big group hug and after that, make yourselves comfortable because there're millions of things I want to talk to you about. And, I'm also opening a request post -I know that's something most of you have looked forward to impatiently^^

Oh, and all of you want to help me sort out some of the issues I have concerning the upcoming +50 VIEWERS special, ne? *handing out mango muffins* Plus, I and l_van have been toying around some ideas on creating a jrock comic, and we'd appreciate it enormously if you had time to click the third cut link to share your opinions and ideas.

But, let's cut to the business, shall we? ^__-

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

Woah, lots of text. *leaning backwards, crossing hands across her chest* Hopefully most of you will comment, since I'm very excited about everything mentioned here before, esp the comic thinggy! I've never done anything like that before, so let's see how it will turn out^^~<3 (Superbly, of course, since l_van is made of awesome *lol*)

And though I said this already, repeating hurts no one:
You can keep on requesting as long as I keep this post open. Please, read the rules carefully before requesting, I'm feeling way too lazy to try to intepret your wishes~

Make sure your comment is relatively clear, so I won't mistake your requests for your votes or screw things up in some other way -I'm a master at screwing things up, so.. yeah. Don't make it easy for me! ^__^;

Have a nice evening, and see you soon! Make mama proud&show your love *smirk*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, and I almost forgot! I have a new, sock-rocking affiliate.. *drums* night_filth~! (Or, not new, but I haven't gotten my lazy ass to making a pimpage post before *lol*) Yes, those icons are so goddamn adorable, and I'm lucky to have such a wonderful affiliate^^ Click click, and enjoy the visual beauty~<3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haha, it took longer than I thought, but here they are now, your brand spankin' new icons^_^ And you know what? I promised to make you one icon per person, right? Well, I made at least two for each of you~ If someone got more, it's not because I'd favor him or anything -their pictures were easier to icon, that's all :)

Uh, I'm not favoring anyone, except jgkimmy who's been such a sweetheart the last couple of months -she deserves the extra Joshlyness :D

Teasing


( Raven Loud Speeeaker )

.new icons ahead: loads and loads of Kagrra, (because Nao is pretty I love their latest singles and PVs), Miyavi (Ashita, Genki Ni Naare PV), Gazette (Reila PV plus random stuff), Tora//Alice Nine, One Piece, PotC2, Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas
.fan art ahead: Gackt, more Gazette, Josh...
.t-shirts ahead: Miyavi, Miska

A couple of days ago I posted an ABC icon batch of The Gazette. I enjoyed making them so much that I decided I could make something similar.. So this is the name of the game, darlings:

.behind the cut you can find a list of alphabets
.check it out and the comments (in case I haven't updated the list yet) and pick a letter that is still FREE
.then, pick a fandom of yours that STARTS with that letter (f.ex. E for Ewan McGregor, K for Kurt Cobain, S for salad, B for books, L for LotR.. it can be ANYTHING)
.comment to this post with the letter and the fandom/subject, and I will make an icon for you :)

NOTICE:
.one letter=icon/person (I might upload some variations too for you, but I don't make any promises)
.one letter can be requested only ONCE -that means the finished batch will consist of 26 icons tops
.this post will be open as long as there are free letters OR I'll decide to close it -just keep the requests flooding^^

.the icons I'll make are personal and others aren't allowed to use them without your permission -let's call this an early Christmas present or something^__^

.if you have a vision about the looks of the icon -f.ex. if you have some special colors or pictures on mind- go ahead, link the pictures for me, share your ideas when commenting~! I'm likely to at least try them out, but don't be dissapointed if I come up with something totally different :)

Happy requesting everyone!<3<3
