Things I have learned this week:
1) Bad clipart from the World Bridal Association or something of the sort makes for horrible art but funny icons.
2) brits_graphics has great Batman: the Animated Series caps.
3) creamuts, fraoch_icons, and ps_neke make great border masks.
4) dj_capslock and Animegalleries.net have great source images.

The roster:
Bad wedding clipart x 6
Batman: The Animated Series x 11
Sailor Moon x 17
El Hazard x 2
Heroes x 7
Fancy Lala x 2
Saber Marionette J x 3

When I first started making icons, I never realized these things had to have borders. Now that I know, I still see no reason that mere walls should contain the power of t3h fandoms. So while this week's icons, some of which use borders by fraoch_icons and shellybear665, may be bordered, a few of them are not, shall we say, coloring inside the lines.

Also included this week: a set of Seiyuu (voice actor) icons featuring photos of the actors and some of their key roles.

The roster:

Seiyuu x 12
Sailor Moon x 8
Please Save My Earth x 5
Tenshi ni Narumon x 5
Gravitation x 3
Hana Yori Dango x 2
Batman: The Animated Series x 2
1 each: Battle Athletes Victory, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou, Orphen, Ouran High School Host Club (I finally saw a cap from that show I absolutely had to make an icon of!), Rurouni Kenshin, Maria (a manga by Takeuchi Naoko), Video Girl Ai

The rules: Think out-of-the-box -- no need to credit! Comments, however, are framed and hung in a display case.

Behold the triumphant return of the icon goddess!

i have been atop Mt. Photoshop, learning from the masters of the zen of selective color and the mantra of layer masks. I return to icondumpage armed with the tools to become a true icon artiste! Or at least fake it a little better.

And a special Matsujun icon for mahochan1:

This week I used a handful of brushes by rainsong9 and some pink textures by wonderland__. They didn't come out so terribly great. I'm looking for some inspiration...

Incidentally, I am also looking for someone to help me customize my LJ layout at tiptoe39... if there's anyone out there who can help, please comment in that journal... there's a post a few lines down about what I'm dreamin' of.

Anyway.
