+notes: These are all RECENT! meaning, they haven't been sitting in a folder for over a year-- (try around 2 months approx). And as soon as these get upload, I divy the icons into their folders and start over from scratch, and hence never ending cycle! <3

+notes: I AM NOW TO THE M's--- meaning that I'm halfway there, and then I will be done uploading every single thing that I've ever iconned (okay not really-- there are still a few that will not see the light of day, those are either 1.) specific requests or 2.) something I iconned for ex's. But there are a few icons here that I am impressed with, so much that I'm like "Why am I not using them?". They were crap originally, but then I think it is because I've seen the composition and gone. "wow, that's just amazing". There is even one that is in ART HOUSE style, and I don't expect anyone to like it but me, but I like it because it is NOT YOUR NORMAL ICON! (points to icon I am currently using), yeah, it's sort of wierd, but I still adore it to this day.

+notes: These icons at first were not arranged very pretty but then suddenly I figured out how to 'fix' the code, teaches me to think I can do a simple shortcut on HTML. BOO on me. However there are some things of note with this batch, the very first one of Nikki Bella won "BEST CROP" over at [community profile] nexticon which makes me super happy. Also, that community is really fun and only requires you to do one at a time, definitely check it out. Also yes, I know I did a lot of fandoms and I can see my list growing smaller and smaller. Soon I will be to the hardest stuff to throw out there, and that is my LOADS of SQUARESOFT/NAMCO BANDAI icons. Seriously, dreading that-- because there. are. so. many.

+notes: been sitting on these textures for a few weeks now, or rather the image for these. All of these textures come from the same BASE IMAGE I created, however I applied different filters so they could be used in three seperate ways. Once again, if you use these textures-- share something you did with them, I love to see what creativity was inspired by them. Also, if y'all haven't already noticed. I love bright things and I love grungy things-- since my icons are very decorative, I usually find a myriad of uses for them. I am also working on a texture set that is not my usual style but because they are textures I have not done before, it's taking me extra long to play around with them.

+notes: This is a smorgasbord of fandoms today-- (I've been iconning for probably 14 years now, and you are likely to SEE THINGS in the fandom.). Today we have Harry Potter, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Tales of Vesperia (for my Schwann/Raven Manifesto over at [community profile] lands_of_magic) and finally Hetalia.
Also additional note- Check out my AFFILATES; they create some GORGEOUS stuff and deserve some love and attention as well!

+notes: THERE ARE ALOT OF ICONS IN THIS UPDATE! All from three more fandoms that ate up my time and energy-- by watching, by roleplaying, by a lot of really spur of the moment crack!moments between me and my ex girlfriend. Favorite characters are once again easy to spot because I have made the MOST icons of them-- and then there are a few icons that were requests but who I am not a really super big fan of those characters (looking at you Sai, from Naruto) -- also really quickly need to point out, I was Nia LONG BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT NIA FROM GURREN LAGANN-- though she ended up being my most favorite-ist! <3

+notes: Well, this is the one that has all of my Lockon, all my Tiera and all of my Lockon/Tiera icons (I seriously did live for that ship-- but there are also some Graham/Katagiri icons as well). Once again a few of these that I really still love, and some that well I have to post because it gives me an idea of what my style -used- to be. I've tried to adapt my style and improve upon it, but oh-- all those beige icons, MY EYES-- MY EYES! <3 Also, next update will be my "Naruto" icons, I have seriously not peered in that folder for the longest time (but will probably have a lot of Sakura, Itachi, Iruka and maybe KakaIru icons).

+note: FIRST OF ALL-- when I made that threat a few days back, I totally didn't expect someone to unfollow this community with the threat of Gundam 00. Secondly, about this series-- it was a very important series to me for a long time-- and I still love some of the characters in the series SO much. Great series if you want a Gundam 00 but you don't want to delve all the way back to Gundam Wing, 00 is a nice series full of more than it's share of angst and trauma. (the Tiera and Lockon icons will come in part 2, I promise!). Also two of these icons are icons I made 12 years ago but yet I still am using to this day! <3

+notes: be prepared for the next update which is GUNDAM 00 which I HAVE A LOT OF! (you have been warned, if you want to unfriend this community before then, go right ahead lol!~) Also yes, more cringe-y icons, but hey there are a few in here that I'm damn proud of too. Some of these were created for the ex-girlfriend way back when, in which HAPPY USAGE EVERYONE. Also don't judge me, I am proud of that Anne of Green Gables icon, the one where she looks all demonic! MY BEST WORK!

+notes: I wanted to make a set of textures, I had it all set and ready to go however there was so much that I had to focus on the past couple of weeks (like icon challenges and such), that I was like "Okay, gonna give it a break-- post some icons, get myself in the groove that way". However here I am, back to texture-making with a BRAND NEW SET. The first is Aurora and then the second one is like the first one but Alternative colours. All taken from stock photos as well as brushes that I've picked up on my travels, oh yes and a LOT OF GAUSSIAN BLUR AND OVERLAY.

alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Alchohol☆Your songs resolve what)
[personal profile] alwaysbeenasmiler
+notes: A new set of old icons, and some of them are SUPER awkward-- also I am not a fan of FMA if only because I was a part of it in the very beginning when Vic Mignogna was god and all the fangirls were super extra. But I have to admit that the last Edward icon is pretty brilliant and if I actually liked it, I'd probably use it. Also in the batch are my food porn icons-- and I still use that alcohol icon, even to this day-- it may very well be my oldest icon - added note, I used to be SO GOOD AT TEXT-- wat happened? When did I start drinking out of the suck straw?

All of these icons were made in such a totally tongue in cheek way that I am still giggling over it to myself... fi'dit.. fi'dit (which because of Po, I learned is catonese for 'faster'-- SEE THE TELETUBBIES TAUGHT ME SOMETHING!)

+comments: This is a very specific icon dump pretty much, and I wanted to get some of the series out of the way that it is highly unlikely that I'll icon ever again (though if you ask specifically for me to icon these series, I probably will do it-- because hey, arm pulling can be used for profit). Also, there are NO RECENT ICONS HERE, these are all super old offerings! / added note: if you haven't watched Detroit Metal City, it is HILARIOUS-- I lost my shit the first time I saw it <3

[personal profile] alwaysbeenasmiler
comments: When people give me series that they'd like to see more of, it sort of keeps me focused. And by the time I get to the next icon dump out of the way, I should have another catagory unveiled-- knock on wood. Also the first icon reminds me of Lestat from Interview with a Vampire hence why I sort of filed it under misc: books.
