Such a lovely place, such a lovely face

Help, guys. I kind of want to go back to icons and graphics, or at least do decent stuff for RP accounts, but since I had to reformat my desktop computer and reinstall I might as well revamp my resources. I haven't made an icon batch in like a year or something, so I'm afraid my textures/brushes may be too old or or something. Any recs, links to your own credit/resource pages, usernames/URLs of good resource makers?

That said, more icons commented: solesakuma's picks


Luna Lovegood. I'm not for using movie images, but I thought that icon was so lovely because that is SUCH a Luna facial expression. No, really, she looks dreamy and kooky and pondering about something faraway.


This was from a screencap of one of the Slayers endings, can't remember which one (I think it was the Try ED). Anyway, I like the colorful sky above the four guys. It's a fact that, Lina aside, I can't decide which one of the remaining three I love the most. There's a sense of going for adventures in that shot, wing in their hairs, sun rising to begin the journey. Almost poetic for such a cracky fandom.


In XXXHOLiC, Himawari imagines Watanuki as an angry kitty cat whenever he's pissed off. I think it's hilarious XD So this is my bitchslap icon, and ironically I save it more for ranting about CLAMP things I don't like. After all, I have an old!Watanuki mood.

That image is from Aria: it's Akari and President Aria. There are tons of pretty icons so I'm not sure why I picked that one. I think the building behind and the oh-so-blue sky sold it. The background art for that series is fucking amazing.


This might be one of my few icons with a character who's NOT from animanga or games. That's Ponder from the Discworld series, and his hat makes obvious he's a wizard. Ah, but he's a nerd as well, very scientific for someone with such a lazy profession. I thought the image was neat because he's wearing a T-shirt thing, and the text on it is teh lulz.


I wanted a Howl's Moving Castle icon to use, but the problem was that I wanted something novel-like, and the characterization in the anime movie was too cheesy for my favorite part of the H/S dynamics. I went with this screencap because she's all "WTF are you doing let me go" for a second, and it's almost book!Sophie.

Going to take a bath and study. I've neglected my readings for Cognitive Science because Mansión is so much fun.

ETA: Also, I might hate the guts of all of you who will be playing Brawl today, a little bit. I dislike living in Europe so much when these things happen.

I'd recommend ewanism, 77words and fuzzy for resources! And don't worry about them looking too old, make the sort of icons you like ;)

freshmakers is an excellent community for good resources as well.

El amigo de mi hermano llamó en la mañana para decir que YA TENÍA EL BRAWL. asldkjaslkdjaskdlasd Yo puse my cara de póker pero WTH?! dsklfjsdlkf Sooooooo jealous. TENGO QUE CONSEGUIRME MI PLATA RÁPIDO Y CORRER A COMPRARLO, YA PERO YA

RPG is addicting. Un poco más y me olvido que tengo vida |D;

Lo que más me gustó de la pela de Howl: el Sr. Nabo♥
...Y Ponder me recuerda a Harry.

OH RIGHT.

Justo recordé que tengo como... 800 megas de resources en mediafire. Son semi-recientes? Las basé hace como 6 meses y hay muchísima variedad. Puedes bajarlas, borrar lo que no te guste y eso. Aquí.

Espero te sirva de algo. Todas las texturas tienen crédito en el nombre de las correspondientes carpetas.
