I love them - Uniform, Romance and Paint are so purty! Tragedy is really really TRUE and Essay ans Oil simply crack me up. xDDDD

-grins- Thank you.

I wasn't sure how well Paint was going to go over since it was a simple crop and duplicating a layer and uh, changing something on it (I forget what it was). And my almost ever present border as it seems like I have this weird need to make boundaries for my icons on where they end and where they start.

Tragedy is probably one of my favorites, partly because that was the icon I learned how to use aspect ratios properly in my cropping.

Essay is also a subtle hint to a certain someone. ;)

These are great! I love the texture in homework, and poem is really pretty, and I loved remainder (that scene is just gorgeous). Solution made me laugh so much, LOL, clay is both amazing and creepy, and lol, great interpretation of theme for frog. Great work!

Are you thinking about writing the drabbles too?

[identity profile] amethysth.livejournal.com 2010-07-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think this got cut out of my original comment, but tragedy and paint are probably my favorite because of the coloring and the cropping and the fact that they're just gorgeous. <3

Tragedy is my favorite too. Strangely enough, Michiru is a really good subject for the method I used for the coloring in both of them, mostly due to her hair.

Thanks!

Texture was more like "hm, what texture can I use to go behind Usagi that would work" and remembering that I had that particular one somewhere. And I made Poem because I was slightly pissed at the Mixx/Tokyo Pop translation of where she quotes Yates because they basically just translated it from the Japanese, which doesn't make sense when the original was in English originally anyways. But yes, it is pretty and the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt.

I really like how remainder turned out too because all of the negative space in the icon really does emphasize how alone Usagi is at that point.

I am definitely doing the drabbles because writing off quick pieces based on a prompt is a lot easier for me than making icons to be honest. Or at least faster.

The one I uploaded right away was hallways (as you can see), and locker, homework, paint, and experiment are in the computer waiting for their day. [:

Glad you liked all of them. :D I like to see people use my icons. Of course, this is the first time, but still, it's cool. XD I think I might have to use Homework when I'm back at college for those times when I'd rather sleep than work on papers.

[personal profile] amethystfirefly 2010-07-16 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I love romance, classic, and result best. ♥

W.O.W. What great choices you made!!! I especially loved what you did with problem, solution, remainder, product, and OMFG chemistry!!!! GOD, that part cracks me up every time! Thanks you so much for sharing.

I love that scene where he makes coffee too. XD Professor Tomoe is such a dork in the anime.

Wow, I'm ridiculously impressed that you managed to finish these so quickly and got the whole set done!! ♥ Well done, babe! I love 'remainder', it's such a beautiful crop. And LOL about Bachelor of Sailor Moon Studies!

I got bitten by the iconing bug. So, that's why I got this done so quickly. Now all I have to do is the drabbles, but hey, I got 200 points for Team Outers. XD

(It was the first thing that came to mind when I thought about the "Essay" prompt! So I figured a little in-joke wouldn't go wrong. ;))

[identity profile] longshadowsfall.livejournal.com 2010-07-17 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay you for getting these all done! *shakes pom poms*

I really love the sum, oil, and element ones. The essay one made me gigglesnort too. *g*

I like sum because I think I finally figured out how to make more vibrant colors with that one or something like that. It turned out neat.

Now to do the drabbles...

[identity profile] longshadowsfall.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
The colours were what really drew me to that icon. :)

And you're doing the drabbles too? Woo! *does a little cheerleading dance and continues to shake pom poms*
