The Inevitable Post
ICON TIEM!
Mostly brought about by the utter fail of my attempt on mixing a different style with Kushina-san's color &ndash you'll be seeing more of that freaky stuff since I'm interested in it for some odd, unexplainable reason... as all reasons are.
And then that sentence should've already been a warning for you to steer clear. Seriously.
Resource post.
Features some criticizing on my part. Feel free to criticize if you've managed to survive the silliness.
Text
The only thing I honestly liked in this batch is the first one. Which is, coincidentally, the first text-thingy that I made out of all, uh, them &ndash can't count.
I'm not all that skillful with text arrangements and picking the fonts to go with them. I definitely admit that. There's just something... grotesque or brutal with the way I handle text. I avoid text as much as possible just because of that.
It's awful! Awful! I feel horrible whenever I deal with text. I'm more picky with them than I am with colors or with textures. I avoid them even more than brushes.
But, yeah, I liked the first one. *must satisfy self* Mmhm. I actually liked how I placed the text there. And only there. One out of n is cool with me. As long as I actually liked something.
Give me... advice on how to improve text-managing skills.
Baccano! ♥
Before I fiddled with them, Firo, Maiza, and Lua were wonderful-looking people. Especially Firo. Oh, Firo.
*CUE ANIME PIMPING*
Lua is a masochist. *CUE "WANNA WATCH" SQUEALS* Doesn't that already count as profit!!!, you BDSM lovers.
The mafia squad also seem to be very attached to their hats. Yes, yes, very. So much so that I just had to put in a Fedora joke. Fedora is also an operating system &ndash or whatever they call that. That's actually the Fedora logo there. Mmhm.
*END*
Ah, this was more experimenting. Especially on Lua (who's the girl there). Needless to say, I might just be backing off from the idea of burning layers noobs terms, btw.
Shakugan no Shana
This showcases my originality.
WATCH SHAKUGAN NO SHANA. IT'S FANSERVICE.
I liked the colors given in that Yoshida Kazumi icon. Yoshida Kazumi is the second one. I think that it turned out rather prettily. COLORS!
Though I suppose that I should work a bit more with my nonexistent cropping prowess. Any comments on the crops would be great. If there are any takers, seeing as this is as horrible as it is.
Loveless
Totally putting all of my fantarding on Naruto. That's why everything else is lacking. But I'm pretty sure that once I get the chance, I'll be all over The DiamondDust Rebellion. Because Byakuya is featured there and Hitsugaya is pretty cool all on his own. (might be paradoxic_doll's influence)
If I remember this correctly, that image comes from a Loveless doujin. No, no. Unfortunately, it's not King Game (which, I've heard is pretty rare), though I do have a copy of it on the computer. Cool doujinshi, that thing is.
More coloring attempts from me. Came out pretty well. Except, you know, I still don't know if Ritsuka's eyes should be violet or not.
This might be called as a prelude to pop art. Colors don't contrast that much, but next time, I'll be seriously going for it! I only hope that it'll look doable.
Did a lot of saturation loving. Upped that one a lot.

My fave is the seventh one. If not that one, then the second one.
Sungee! I thought that this batch was pretty cool. I also thought that maybe I should do some more tinkering with real people. I wondered then who I should do next. must... find... picture... of Morikubo-san...
Once again, I find that I didn't do well at all with the cropping. *sigh* And then I believe that I'm not good at rotating either.
Naruto
So then, uh, yeah. I still have the same problems.
Not great with coloring, not great with text management, not great with, er, cropping. I think that's all, yeah?
Must make Kushina-san's style more noticeable. Will definitely be fiddling with that a lot more. Hopefully my attempts will become successful. Wish me luck~
Current icon comes from Chobits. Made for Christmas. Mmhm. Christmas!Chii.
