HURR. My first attempt at some Gintama icons.

GINTAMA ICONS.

Forgive me. I tried.
Im so lazy I just used Gintama screenshots I already had 8D

Icons are all about perspective and lighting and picture resolution etc all of which goes right over my head but I attempted it X__X

Spoilers for like...the whole series. None of these seem to be in any order either.

TEXTLESS DOES NOT MEAN BORING.
And err... making icons is not about perspective and lighting. (Though resolution does sometimes, as does aspect ratios AKA don't crop an almost square and resize the picture to be a square, because the result looks squished and not good.)

It's more about cropping and framing, which you seem to be reasonably good at.
As such, my favourites are 1, 13, 25, 28 and 34 in the first batch and 9 in the last.

XDD Thankyou! Cropping and resizeing goes WOO right over my head so I guess I need to learn more.

[grass_angel]

Well... what program are you using to crop? I might be able to dig up a tutorial for you. (Warning, making icons can be addictive, especially when you get into using textures.)

[runawayroadkill]

Oh Im just using GIMP.

And I know its totally too late for me I already sit here and just make them for hours x__X

Big LOL at 033, I've been waiting for ages for someone to freakin' icon that moment. Gintoki and Hijikata were so hilarious in those eps... Will be grabing that one obviously, and probably 26 too since it makes the perfect determination icon-mood thingy...

As for advice, whatever the comment above me said, I'm just a measily writer and total noob when it comes to icon-makin stuff, pff, it makes me feel so ancient and granny-ish.

I also lol-ed at Edgeworth at the top of the page btw

[runawayroadkill]

NO ELDERRRRRRRR.
ROFL. Srsly. That Elder scene makes me die with laughter no matter how many times I see it.

XD LOLZ ancient and granny-ish, join the club.

8D Edgeworth just makes me happy. *hugs Edgeworth DS game*

[abridgedgirly]

I KNOW! People should've icon-spammed that scene for thousands of times, but NOT EVEN ONE. Gawd, do something about it.

*highfives* Nah srsly, I thought I knew something about computers, but when I see people doing this and that... >_> I just wanna grab a walking stick and go yell at some kids in the park or something...

Oh don't make me jealous! My copy is only arriving in a week or so! *hits desk in frustration* Why the hell does everything take so much more time in Europe?! Sure the game's been out for a few months now, BUT REALLY

[runawayroadkill]

I sympathise with you I truly do. I would probably be waiting along with you if it wasnt for my *cough*R4*cough*. *shifty eyes*

Im not sure how much you already know about it so I dont wanna spoil it for ya but lemme say its worth the wait. srsly. I havent even finished it! I refuse to finish it because then it will be over D:

I very much enjoy Shi-Long Lang...
