Another excuse to tl;dr about random things? Never.

'Sup, poly_crack.

So, I was thinking while I sold more of my soul to eljay so that I didn't have to pick and choose which icons to delete to make more roomWhat's your RP icon policy? Do you make all of your own (sometimes while cursing your fandom for its icon-making failings) or do you take your pick out of what icon artists in your respective fandoms/pet

Mine, I usually make myself unless I can't find any good scans/videos to screencap. Most of mine, I waited it out about two weeks before I decided on any paid accounts, and so far, three of mine all have a full 100 and use them.

As for keywording, I usually go by expression/emotion, and then whatever specifies that particular icon. Sometimes it's quotes from whatever scene or just whatever I think of first when I look at it. It varies.

Two muses' icons are made by me, two muses' icons are made mostly or entirely by Rizu, and two muses' icons are made by other people.

And sometimes I list by emotions, sometimes I use phrases, sometimes I like to make all my icon keywords one word, sometimes two words. Aha~~

It depends upon the character? I prefer to make them myself in general, but sometimes I just don't care.

Walter - the full 100 and I made almost all of them
Pup - 30 because there aren't that many sources and I made all the icons
Morn - 15 and they came from hollow_art
Bob - 15 and I made them myself; he's a skull, I don't need many icons
Metatron - paid for 100, have about 55, I took most of them from icon makers and there are some that are crap from screencaps I found online
Rincewind - 30 and it's a mix of ones I made and ones I snagged. There just aren't many resources for him, either, since I think David Jason was great casting, but not at all who I picture based on the official Discworld art.

My keywords are descriptive (for me) phrases. When a character's new, I have to have the icon listing page open to remind me what options I have when I select an icon.

Hawkeye and Yachiru's icons are all made by me, Kon was set up for me, and Sakura I got from other people~ I like them all to match >:

With a few exceptions, I made all of Nanami's icons myself. With previous characters, I mostly used icons made by other people.

I mostly use phrases for keywords, and Nanami's the only character I've had a paid account/extra icons for. Yes. /o/
