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.

First of the three posts with icons made from my wallpapers c: These are from old works (2006-2008), so they're not that great in terms of usability. I modified the colors on most of them because they were quite bland. Which ones do you like most?

Feel free to use them, you don't need to credit me or let me know if you do. Just don't steal. And if you want any specific icons made from my walls (I skipped a few), let me know c:

I took Kami's challenge of making icons from my cards! :D Hers are all gorgeous, but most of mine don't really look that special IMO, probably because I like to work with tiny text XD I think the best are 5, 6 & 8 (surprised me), 20-22, 25 and 26. I love 22 to bits, I might end up using it after I get tired of my current one <3
These aren't in any particular order, mostly by year and filename but I replaced a few so not all are chronologically ordered. All of the icons are labeled with the series they're from. I've also made icons from my wallpapers (including the old shitty ones), so I'll probably post those in a few days.

P.S. Dollie, lemme know what you think about #25, the Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep one. It's made from your Secret Santa gift :D

Icons: Koi to Karada wa Senaka kara [yaoi]

More icons from a quite steamy series I re-read recently. Yeah, I pretty much abandoned the manga challenge (at least until July) and just re-read all the good ones I have saved <3 Anyway, I made this while re-reading the manga itself; I initially wanted to wait a bit until I finished re-reading all of it, but the last story is way too confusing and boring so I'm not re-reading it again ^^"

Credits: one circle pattern by me, bokeh made with default PS brushes, everything else is coloring and color manipulation~

10 small patterns!

Today I made a few cute, small patterns for use in icons, sort of like this:

I can't help it and am aware I'm lazy, but simple, cute icon backgrounds are my weakness >___<" I just love to fill the background with circles/hearts/whatever and overlay a pastel color on them <3
Most of the patterns in this set are very small and are meant to be more of a detail than a centerpiece; your eyes will hurt if you use them in huge stuff like wallpapers in strong colors. Had to make a conscious effort not to work on 12x15px documents for the big hearts XD Enjoy <3
~~Aww Ren is so cute, I wanna hug him >____<~~

Edit: to install them, open Photoshop and select the Fill Tool (Pattern option). Click on the arrow next to the current pattern, then on the arrow on the right of the new window. Select Load Patterns and you're done :)
