Creative Paradox

External Image

In its early days, this World used to be all about smart discussions and posts and stuff like that. But since I hardly write articles now because of the lack of time, this World is now a place dedicated to showcasing whatever I do that doesn't relate to blogging about my life (which is already covered in this World). So, in a nutshell, this place is for graphics and resources.

Browse (most of) my stuff here by tags:

I take icon requests, so PM me or write me a comment :3 And feel free to use the stuff I make: you don't need to credit me if you use icons, but I'd appreciate some credit for the rest.

If you know of any other worlds with icons/graphics, drop me a line and I'll feature them~

Background pattern: made with Colour Lovers by me.

Icons: Darling wa Namamono ni Tsuki

Find the rest of them over here~

Ta-daa! Here I am after a 6-month long absence, with refurnished Photoshopping skillz that are even moar mad than before! I've seen a lot of things of the Internet since then, and have been fairly squicked* by some; I almost feel like I've earned a badge or something :D

* do not look this up unless you want to be disturbed.
Friendly meaning: "The physical sense of repulsion upon encountering a concept or situation one finds disgusting."

The other meaning... Well, that's a different story. It involves, uh, work equipment and a certain region of the body BUT LET'S NOT GO THERE RIGHT NOW :D This issue will be further discussed in a (possibly) upcoming post.

I'd also like to wish a warm "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" to everyone whose birthdays I missed D: Since I saw a lot of notifications piled up. All being months old. Yeeaah... *scratches head*

Anyway, expect moar avvies and less walls / vectors, since I'm kinda refusing to do any serious work for the time being. And I don't feel like concentrating on anything big either.

Icons: Why do you ask?

Made these last night, after reading some random gallery descriptions off Minitokyo. I just love reading those, especially if they're long; it's just like reading a one-shot <3 Plus, it's always neat to see what the person was thinking when they were working on their submission.
Feel free to steal these icons and use them You don't need to give me credit or anything, just use them to express your fandom <33
The slightly harsher-worded ones are over here~
Take care~ *hugs*

Icons: Sailor Moon (5 variations)

External Image

All obtained from this image. Was feeling a bit crazy and decided to make with the texture whoring again, after a period of only color tweaking :D
Feel free to steal if you want/like anything~

P.S. The title's from Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To?, which I was listening to while making these :3
P.P.S. Template now available for stealing! You can basically put any b&w manga picture in there, so it's quite convenient if you ask me! I have no idea what turns out if you use colored images, though o.O Use at your own risk.

Icon templates: dusty, magical, riddle etc.

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito x2, Darling, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Sailor Moon

#3 Dusty: text included, preview base, works best with bright images
#4 Magical: text included, preview base, works best with very bright, pale images
#5 Riddle: text included (even though it's not in the preview), preview base, works best with dark images
#6 Candy: preview base; works best with bright images
#7 Mild, Yet Strong: text included (layer set to invisible), preview base, works best with images with blue tints

To use these, find the image layer (the one with the base) and delete it, or just place your own image above it Be careful, though, since some bases use filtered copies of the background image, so either duplicate the effect or delete the copied BG layer as well.

Icon templates: artistic & hot!~

Yesterday I discovered that making icon templates is fun <3 So I've begun mixing together textures, brushes, colors etc.! Here you have the ones I've made up to this point (with examples): ...
