A LITTLE ABOUT ME:I love to experiment with images and work with icons. (Yes, it's safe to assume I made the banners, because I did.) I love the CSI-verse and express that by making too many icons. I also love movies, but I rarely make movie icons because I like to take my own caps and capping movies is hard. I also love manga and anime, but manga icons are so complicated, so I'll dabble in it a couple times, but I almost never share them, except for my earlier ones. I'm always trying to improve, so if you have any pointers, please don't hesitate to comment.

Today is Speedle's birthday, so, c'mon, say it with me: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPEED!
I made a couple icons and an header all from one picture from the Modern Day Gallery.

Tim Speedle: 8 icons and 2 headers.

So I'm taking a break from the homework I have to present you with more icons! (I know, what the heck?)
Mythbusters just did their Alaska special, so there are icons from that ep. The rest of them are just text icons, from a quote I thought up. :)

01-08 ___ Mythbusters, Alaska Special
09-20 ___ "every so often, I..."

So basically, school has been slaughtering me, so I apologize for not making more icons. But, honestly, I can't even make icons for the comms I run, okay? That's how icon-less my days have been. However, I made these icons today at work, so I'm sharing. Most of them are variations.

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm in love with Stargate Atlantis.

1-4 ___ Masi Oka & George Takei
5-11 ___ AJ Buckley
12-24 ___ Joe Flanigan

It's been so long! I apologize; school has, more or less, taken over my life.
...And so has Stargate: Atlantis, *points to header*
I'm going to work on getting the colors coordinating better later.
Also, I got a Plus Account! So, sorry if you hate the ads (I hate them too).

But this time, I have icons! It's kind of disorganized, so I don't really have an explanation of what's under the cut, so I apologize for that! You can take a gander at the tags, but yeah. Really disorganized.

Happy First Day of the Rest of Your Life December!

Oh, December. You cold, yet joyous month of the year. There's a lot of presents going around this month, whether it's for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or you're unlucky enough for it to be your birthday*.

This is a time when people are rushing to get presents and gifts for loved ones, and that includes LJ members. But if you're short on cash (like moi) but still want to get gifts for LJ friends, I have a proposition for you! Let me be your outlet!

I'm offering 5 special requests per person to the first 10 people who comment (sorry guys, I'm only human!).
Here's how it works:

You give me a comment telling me who the present is for, how big you want the present to be (stop snickering!), and what the subject is.

On the 24th of December, I will send you an email with the complete work(s) and you can give it to your LJ friend.
All of these icons/graphics will non-shareable. This way, your LJ friend will essentially "own" the icon.

Copy and paste the following, if you want to participate:
<b>Who is this for?</b>: <b>How big do you want this to be?</b> (100x100, 800x600, etc): <b>What is the subject of the graphic?</b> (who/what does your friend fangirl/fanboy over? BE SPECIFIC!): <b>Your email?</b>:
And yes, comments are screened.

*No offense intended, of course. My mom's birthday is also in December.

Hi~ I've been reading BLEACH again, and I stumbled across this little blurb after the chapter that Ichigo is fighting Jidanbou, and Jidanbou raises a wall of rock to prevent Uryuu, Orihime, and Chad to help Ichigo. In the blurb Uryuu gets hit with a fragment and surprises Orihime and Chad, XDDD
...I hope that wasn't too confusing. Anyway, it was so cute, I couldn't NOT icon it.

If you're curious as to what the heck I'm talking about, here's the original scan from Manga Rain.

Sooooooo, I basically spazzed over the pretty boys in this week's Sexiest Men People issue. And a dear friend of mine subtley suggested that I should make icons of one of the finer boys, Nathan Fillion, because, really, who better?

56 Nathan Fillion icons

It's been so long since I've exclusively made CSI: Miami icons, and I was browsing through the amazing Modern Day Gallery, and found amazing promo stills I had never seen before. One thing led to another and I got inspired to make icons, XD

52 CSI: Miami icons, between S4 and S6 (Alexx, Calleigh, Horatio, Delko, Ryan and Eric/Ryan)


( Everything old is new again. )

I still have that poll! It's the second one, so if you voted on the first one, you might not have voted on the second one yet!

ARGH HIRO!

I kinda went nuts making these. Examples can be found at #8 and 22. Those are def my favourites.
Also, I am VERY attracted to Future Hiro, because DAMN. Damn.

33 Hiro Nakamura icons

Not much to say, except this is part 1 of 2 from my Hiro claim. There's a lot more episodes in Heroes than Torchwood, okay?!
Plus, I spend half my time giggling over how awesomely cute Masi is :333
Also, I used tuts again this time, but next time, I think I'm gonna play around with Photoshop again, so they might not be as good, XDDDDDDD...

36 Hiro Nakamura icons

Okay, I don't have a paid account for this name, but I do on my other, so I posted a poll over here.

I'll explain what I want.

I was thinking about how I should make stock icons and decided that it would be a good idea to do them by state. I'm starting out with California and New York, but after that I don't know which order to do them in!

So what I want you to do is to vote for which states the next stock batch should include! Here's how I'm going to use the polls: the two states with the highest numbers will be in the next post. And when I post that batch, a new poll with go up.

The poll is over here, and if you still have questions, leave them on this entry, not the poll entry, okay? Thanks!

By the way, my next batch is not stock, it's Hiro from Heroes. But after that, it's stock. Confusing, I know.

I took up two claims from i_character: Ianto Jones (Torchwood) and Hiro Nakamura (Heroes).
If the colors look off, blame my Photoshop; I'm still having trouble with the color settings :////

39 Ianto icons, 3 from each episode


( Jack needs me! )

Really random set; 6 from Wednesday's episode, 3 from a past episode. 7 out of nine are Hawkes, because I'm so very random, and 2 are of from the NYC pan. You'll see.

Oh, and I know it feels like I'm spewing icons out like mad, but I swear I'm not making that much.
Plus, everyone is, like, dead, so there's something. There's never anything to do, so, of course, I open up Photoshop.

Anyway, 9 CSI NY icons
