Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Graphics

I made an icon coloring tutorial last month featuring Alpha (from Chapter 19's splash page); even though it's been a while, and this comm seems a little empty, I thought it might be a good idea to post it here.

Thank you for looking, and I hope you enjoy it! If there are any problems with this post, please tell me.

As dead as this little comm may be right now due to a severe lack of creativity on the LJ icon and tutorial side of things it's not going anywhere. There's a nasty keylogger virus going around LJ lately that strips away moderator controls from people who own communities and posts links to said virus in a message in the community. It makes it appear that the community is shutting down and moving everything off LJ. This is far from the case for ykktutorial and ykkgraphics. Even though I haven't been active a lot lately I'm not shutting these communities down anytime soon. Anything that appears to have come from me saying I did shut them down is a farce. If you see something like that from my account the best non LJ way to contact me at the moment, since I really don't use my IMs much anymore, is to comment to my DA account under the name chibihalo.

I've been in quite the creative bind where icons are concerned as you can see. I know it seems unfair for me to be updating my personal journal more than I've been updating my graphics community. For that dear members and followers of this comm I'm sorry. I've seen plenty of rants about the owners of icon related communities not updating their communities while they constantly update their personal journals. It would be nice if I could find something to help inspire me where icons are concerned. I figure if I get back into the habit of iconing something again it should help get the creative juices flowing. Every once in a while I pop back to the following little meme for one reason or another. This time, I'm using it to get myself back into the iconing game. So, here's the meme.

Comment on this entry and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and make you an icon. You have no say in what I make an icon of!

I don't really take requests but this meme is a great way to get an icon catered to what you like.

Just as the title says my iconing is on hold for the time being due to the fact that I just got a new computer and I don't have everything set up as I would like it. I'm having someone out on October 30 to help with the safe transfer of all my files and settings so my Photoshop can be on the new computer with the brushes the way I have them. Until then, I'll resort to enjoying what other people make and will be back to iconing in the early part of November.

The Deal:

It's that time again. Time for another Avatar season premier. With less than twenty-four hours to go and lots of speculation abound I bring you some fun little icons. This will be the first in a series of three icons based on the super deformed shorts. Yes, I'm late on the bandwagon with these icons but thanks to some good quality screencaps from bentfire and Iroh.org I bring you fourteen random icons from the first of the three animated shorts plus one little fun forum signature. So take a look, comment, and enjoy.

The Deal:

It's Pokemon Pokemon and more Pokemon as the new season continues past forty episodes in Japan. Rivals, trainers, Pokemon that just can't seem to decide on what type they really are, and Nurse Joy are all the rage in this batch of icons. The images for these icons come from Filb.de, the Total Pokemon gallery, and type_wild here on livejournal. This batch features episode sceencaps from both the Advanced Generation and the Diamond and Pearl seasons of the series with emphasis on the Pokemon this time around. So please take a look, comment on them, and enjoy.

My three month iconing drought is over with. Lately one of my obsessions has been Pokemon. With the new generation of Pokemon and the new season of the anime the interest in Pokemon is still as strong as ever. The images for these icons come from various Pokemon sites, pokebeach.com and type_wild here on livejournal. This batch features Ken Sugimori artwork, episode screencaps, and contest entries for pokemon_awards. So please take a look, comment on them, and enjoy.
