;LSKDLSAsla;kdas BUT I DUNNO.UM I SLAP TEXTURES ON TOO FOR EXTRA COLOR & DEPTH,IF THAT'S WHAT U MEANT?
DUDE I KNOW.TEXTURES FOR REAL PPL IS HELLA DIFFICULT,I CAN'T EVEN.The ugliest textures work.not even joking.All the textures I have never ever dared use for animanga icons give rl icons a weird,different touch that just kinda works.idk,it's all about experimenting.I still suck at rl icons tho so I shouldn't be throwing around advice/sob

I WILL NEVER STOP PRAISING YOU EVER.Just came across that EoE icon in 1 praise post too!:)

Saved the Bard Gangsta icon because it's so flyyyy♥
And what's this Corto Maltese? I've taken an interest in men with sweet-ass sideburns lately, idk, so yeah.

Aww yeah, glad you like it!

CORTO MALTESE IS AMAZING. It's an Italian comic series by Hugo Pratt that has really beautifully animated short films that are in French. You can watch most of them (subbed, though I found one in an English dub. The subs are kind of bad btw but WHO CURRS CORTO IS AWESOME) on youtube! Corto as a character/Hugo Pratt's art have influenced a LOT of things, so you've probably been exposed to it before in one way or another.

Sadly there's not really any official English translations of the comics, save for a really bad reprint of The Ballad of the Salt Sea that fucked around with the paneling. There are scanlations though!

Oh, it's Italian? I thought it was a manga, so no wonder I couldn't find it on Baka Manga lol. Thanks so much for the info though! Will definately check this out.

Yep! Here's more info, in case you're interested in the chronology of the stories.

The only comic I've gotten to read so far is The Early Years, which I'd actually recommend waiting to read until you watch a movie/read a story with Rasputin in it because it's really fun to wonder "how the hell did these two meet?"

Lovely job. Especially the Mushishi ones are stunning :) I'll be using them (with credit of course). Still have to decide which ones (damned limited icon space).

astrokittie August 2 2012, 02:42:47 UTC
Thank you very much! I know that feeling too, I just had to clean out my icons (I had a little over 100) since I let my paid expire, and it's so hard to choose what to keep, what to get rid of and then what you want to upload once you've culled everything!

Ouch. Having an account expire must be a pain in the butt :( I wouldn't know how to decide xD I'd flip coins or something xD
