Well not here but I made one to redmoon_icons I know not everyone on my flist knows that I have an icon comm so Im kinda repimping it. I dont update it that often and when I do I rarely say so here. But since everyone has been so nice and offering me help, I thought it was only fair to let you all see how they turned out. Of course I think I did a good job and then see another icon dump to a comm and go...wow my stuff doesnt look that good XD Oh well, its reason enough to keep practicing. And considering if you look at my first posts over there...Ive improved 8D.

(Fake cut) leads to most recent icon post.

I said this to thejenx already but if you look at Koizumi in my icon, slap a pair of glasses on him and darken his hair a bit...he'd look like Yasuhara...scary thought XD Also I finally made a profile pic at redmoon_icons and he's on it, he just looks so cute!!

Yes I know Im addicted to this meme... celesia chose this time.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four or five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!


Ryuuki from Sainkoku Monogatari, 2nd time he's appeared on this but really, can we blame him??  Look at how adorable he is!!  Slowly becoming my ~sigh~ Life is Good icon :D made by swirled


Probably my most asked about icon XD Chisuga from Silver Diamond has now appeared 3 out of the 4 times Ive done this meme and been asked about in other memes as well.  I dont use him alot but wont get rid of him ^^ He's soo hawt!  Actually everyone in SD is hawt but the black hair and the glasses win for me.  Looking forward to July when TP puts out Vol 1.  Made by bibiki


HITMAN DANSEN!!  Mukuro and Hibari from Katekyo Hitman Reborn doing the caramelldansen.  One of two dansen icons I have the other being Dino and Hibari.  Made by Riker over at AnimeSuki.


Homura Kagari from Sekirei.  Anime comes out in Summer, I think August, I got this screen from the first trailer.  He's the only reason I read Sekirei since its very ecchi in nature.  This is atleast my 5th ot 6th vers of this icon since I never seemed happy with the result.  Finally found a texture I liked.  Made by me.

From a few days ago....
pr3sag3: Whoo! The 7th ED to KHR! Two words: WET BISHIES!! 8DD
yamikakyuu: ~watches vid...................dies~
yamikakyuu: ~rewatches~  I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont  need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon, I dont need a wet!hibari icon...
pr3sag3: YES YOU DO! YOU NEED A HOT, DRIPPING WET!HIBARI ICON! YOU KNOW YOU DO!! XD

Today:
/me finally gets a copy of ED 7
/me opens Adobe...

~looks at icon~  Damn you Skylark....

Dumb ques but where is a good place to dl brushes for Photoshop?

Icon meme again! This time from yuri_san (she picked good ones!)


Tamaki from Ouran and yes he does look like a pimp!!  This is from the Ouran game and I about died when I saw it since well one ITS TAMAKI and two I have a thing for guys in hats XD made by pan8d


Kursuriuri-san from Mononoke.  woodburner made several of these with different sayings on them so I had snag the LOL one.  Plus one can never have too many icons with him in them *_*


Hehehe Plot Penguins!!  Made this as a prompt from akinarei since I was joking that instead of plot-bunnies I have plot-penguins XD I did several vers before I posted them to redmoon_icons even Aki grabbed one I think.  I find it funny.  Made by me.


Chisuga from Silver Diamond (Yuri, you obv missed my first icon meme post since I explained him already but no worries, the man is hot enough to post about again!...also how are you into BL and not seen him!!) ~ahem~   Again do I really need a reason to say WHY I have him as an icon....HAWT!!!!  Made by bibiki
Btw since you asked me about what to read in your other meme...if you havent read Silver Diamond...DO IT!!  Read KHR first though 8D

Anyone else plan on doing this meme! XD  And again, I wont ask about your icons unless you ask first since I do this meme alot so feel free to comment.

And does anyone know how to dl from Nico??  I have...something I need to upload to youtube so ppl can see it...though it might cuz brain damage...unless midnightreverie did you happen to find THAT video on youtube at all??

Final thought since I cant go one day without something relevant to KHR even though I kinda did ...as much as I normally dont like the music in the anime I like the 5th ED for some reason...I have no idea why XD  Also anyone else wish the freaking comm didnt update so freaking much!!!  Grrr...its annoying, though some nice fanart was posted today 8D

The good: Hubby and I got our taxes done today. In the 7 years we've been filing we've NEVER gotten this much back! Maybe I should shut up about not making any money since the Gov gives you more back.

The bad: Of said money, most of it is going to hubby's mom in back rent...sigh...

The meme:  from kirarakim  Its the icon meme I did here a while back but I like this meme and Kim picked icons that werent used. 
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!


Naru from Ghost Hunt.  The only time (minus chibi!naru) we see him in something other then black.  pj!naru got lots of buzz since us manga fans new it was coming.  Ghost Hunt Pajama Tea Party insued as the epi aired and the fangirls were happy.  Had to make an icon of it.  I like guys in pjs.  Made by me.


The Penguin from Penguin Prince manga.  Its not a huge secret that penguins are my fav animal and have been for years and years.  This was a gift from lkk-sensei since I made a comment at the end of chap 1 that the two holding hands with the penguin would be a great icon and she made it for me.  Again, thank you Sensei.  ^_^


Mai from Ghost Hunt.  Generally used as my O_o or Huh/What? icon since Mai's expression just screams that.  I like the animated text but Im half tempted to go back and make another one that just has everything on one frame.  I was experimenting with text alot when I made this icon.  I still like it though.  Made by me.

Feel free to respond to this post I wont do the meme on you unless you ask, Im nice like that.

One more thing, Runedaime (runesque) remember how I said I needed a prompt for mukuhiba? I think I found one and its all thanks to smoking!Hibari~~  Something has been brewing in my mind...and kill_me_faster said she'd write me a drabble!!!  NOT WORTHY!!  FANGIRLING ABOUT TO INSUE!!! 8D

Ok nap time I has a headache -_-

Meme from ensuing

Comment on this post. I will choose seven userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along. Also, if there are any icons of mine that you want an explanation for, you can comment and ask, though this will also result in you getting seven icons chosen for you to explain.



Ryuuki from Saiunkoku Monogatari.  I live by the notion that everyone should have a Ryuuki icon in their mix.  Come on!  He's adorable.  I liked the coloring in this one alot and plus his expression, he's blushing!!  Made by swirled


Hmm...well since this isnt flocked...dream!naru and Mai from Ghost Hunt. Im actually very proud of this icon. It was my first successful cropping of two screens and putting them together. Also its my only totally b/w icon. Mostly since the screen is green tinted to begin with but it didnt match up quite well, so I took the color out. Text is from a song by Pink, actually heard the song and then icon idea came to me since he does visit her in her sleep. Made by me.


dream!naru again and my current default icon. Again icon idea came from song. Lyrics from Youre Beautiful by James Blunt and they just fit. Made by me.


Fai from TRC. Had been searching for a good Fai icon when I found this. I love the look on his face and the text just fits. I use this icon alot actually for the Caption Game and just when I have that slightly embarrassed feeling. Made by 5pristinepetal


I dont remember why I took this screen, maybe just cuz I liked the look on Mikami's face. Though I adore Death Note I didnt make many icons of it. Orginally it was going to say "Oh Snap" followed by "There's a sale at Pennys" which is a line from the movie Airplane but 1) I wasnt able to fit all the text as I wanted and 2) Didnt know if everyone would get the ref. Icon comes in handy when alot, its one of my favs. Made by me.


My newest icon, so new infact I havent even used it yet. XD But really do I need a reason to why I have an icon of Chisuga from Silver Diamond!! The man is the epitome of sexy!! Though I dont mind that alot of times he's shown with Rakan, Im glad he's alone in this one. I just like to stare at this for a while......... Made by bibiki



Shikimi-sensei from Black Sun Silver Moon.  Ya'll dont even want to know how obsessed I am with this manga right now XD  Not alot of art for BSSM exists so when I finally broke down and decided to make an icon it was hard.  This icon comes from a much bigger scan of Shiki along with Taki that came off the mangaka's own website.  She has a small art section on it.  Seems Shiki love is spreading, both ensuing and pr3sag3 commented on him recently XD

Ok thats my seven ^_^.
If you would still like to post but dont want to take part in the meme feel free to just tell me in your reply that you dont want me to pick icons, I wont mind.  This was just for me to show off some of mine and ensuing picked some very nice ones :D

One other small note which has nothing to do with anything.  I dont know how much Im gonna be on the net in the next week.  Hubby has all next week off and Ill be working odd hours so my net time will probably be cut short.  Also Thanksgiving is coming for us American's.  So Ill be on when Im on, Ok? :D

Also the thing I commented on the other, the thing that is coming??  its coming, its coming!!  Soon! :D Atleast I hope it is! (not honey youre still not right) hopefully by monday!!

Quote for the moment
"Cant sleep or the clowns will eat me" - Bumper sticker I saw today and laughed my ass off.

I finally got my icon comm up and running since I really didnt want to have to keep posting icons to this journal.  Ive gotten into the habit of making them so decided a seperate comm would be nice since I like to reserve this one from fangirling and anime XD

redmoon_icons is the name and Ive already made an icon dump.  Plz chk it out and tell me what you think :D  Im slowly (key word slowly) getting better with my non-existance style....destroyer219 was right, the best way to learn photoshop is to play around with it :D

Ok its ~looks at comp clock~ 2:40 am!!  Gah! Why am I still awake?? x_x Oh yeah Im an insominac!!

Anyone have Ghost Hunt 17 raw?  The file I have doesnt play well on my mpc, skips too much, cant take screens.  If its a big deal like on a seperate drive then dont worry about it.  Im hoping someone still just has it sitting on their comp.  Or anyone know where I can ddl it??  (Torrents are mostly dead, links on aarin are dead as well and this file I got from cilyia but for some reason it dont like me)

On a side note Ive been in the mood to create animated icons like the one above (thanks to ginny_t for the help, I finally got it to work with the instructions you sent me \o/ ) Plus I wanted a Yasu icon.   After the voting is done for the 2nd icontest on shibuya_pr Im gonna do another icon dump here.

You know for it being Memorial Day weekend, why am I working both tomorrow and Sunday?  Well the short answer is if I work those days I wont have to work this coming Wednesday ^_^

Another side note, its amazing the things you find on the net espc about other ppl XD  Also for those keeping track, today was the day GH vol 10 was suppose to be out in Japan....le sigh.

"I woke up inbetween a memory and a dream" - Tom Petty

Had a request from sayaka86 for some Naru x Mai icons (youd think that since they are the 2 main characters itd be easy to find screens with them in it...it wasnt XD) So I made some and added a few more of other characters that Id made after 25 ended.  Also youll notice that I have no icons from the sewer scene which is gold to all us Naru x Mai shippers....reason is...since Im still an adobe newb I cant get the color right...scene is too dark.... (btw none of these are in the icontest on shibuya_pr )

-Please tell me if you take any
-Dont hot link
-Credit is nice ^_^ if you add text to any of them, credit org img to yamikakyuu

Been a long time since I did icons and thankfully Ive learned some Adobe basics since then XD  These are from lots of different GH epis and some from epi 25 so possible spoilers.  Enjoy.

Also Im dling 25 from cilyia and about to go crazy!!!

If you take any please comment and credit to yamikakyuu
I dont mind if you edit the textless ones, just credit orginal img to me.

Dang you Naru!!  I didnt even have this problem when I had a basic account and all Tamaki icons....mostly cuz I was still new to LJ and didnt post as much, also I rarely find Tamaki icons that I like (yes Im picky) but I did upgrade to a prem account so I got more icons \o/ But at the moment half of my 15 total are all GH and basically all Naru.....I love collecting icons off other journals and I make sure to save them in a place with proper credit (so I dont forget) til I use them...but it seems like everytime someone posts GH icons, I grab like 5 at a time XD  Then I need to figure out which ones to delete to make more room...
So ya'll are probably saying..."Yami why not get a paid account!.....baka!" Well maybe not the baka part XD But the reason I havent is cuz 1-right now I have no valid paypal account, my last one died after I changed my card info and 2-Im lazy XD 3-I need more cash flow....hopefully 3 will happen soon so I can get moving on 1 and 2....
In other news....GH 20 was so freaking good!!
Gah cant wait til next week!!!
