Creative Paradox

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.

Created By sweetdevil

Icons: Eri Kamijou, Sailor Moon, Yunomi

Hey everyone ^^ Haven't really had time to post something big because of uni, I have lots of texts to read and am already preparing for my license, so soon enough I'll have to be reading entire books! Not to mention a ton of projects on the side. Oh, btw, my thesis will be on American film posters from 1990 to 2010 from the perspective of advertising! Can't wait to find out more about this, since I'll be combining not one, not two, but three topics I love: design, advertising and movies.

Other than that, not much time left to spend in PS, just playing Sims 3 whenever I have a small break from life. Oh, and I found out who Nicki Minaj is. Wish I hadn't. Tried explaining it to a few friends but failed miserably because there's nothing to compare that vacuum of talent with. On the other hand there's Adele, whom people left and right are praising - and even though I'm not that attracted to her style, I can see she has a good voice for what she wants to do. Good for her. Oh well, maybe I'll finally take up listening to the radio again after 2-3 years XD Maybe there's some hope for modern pop music left.

Vectors: Tadaima Shugyouchuu, Sailor Moon, Blood Trap

Notice the plural in the title :D I also revamped the vectors section, redid all the thumbnails to showcase the vectors better because the old ones were fugly, dammit! And yay, three more ~~unplanned~~ projects down! The next ones will probably be girly vectors since I'm trying to tidy up my folders and have discovered a crapload of girl vectors :|

Note: I love the third vector, I'm in love with it <3 And if you like yaoi, I'd recommend the manga as well, it's very cute and funny 8D source image
Note: I've been listening to more E Nomine these days, 'cause they're epic.

Icons: Sailor Moon [for Lory!]

External Image

These icons are dedicated to Lory, who's been going through some tough times lately. Don't worry, dear, it'll all be OK in the end, trust me :) I made these because I remembered you're a huge Sailor Moon fan. Hope you like them <3

Aw man, Winamp shuffle brought up Sean Paul feat Sasha - I'm still in love with you. I remember back when it was on TV all the time, in 2004. I FEEL SO FRIGGIN' OLD RIGHT NOW D:

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.

Enjoy~
