This is astrokittie's icon journal. For the most part I make comic, cartoon and videogame icons. (or to put it simply for the otaku masses, I make animu and mango icons.)
I tend to make icons of whatever I'm digging at the moment. Say I play a new videogame- chances are I'll be looking around for images to make icons from right after. Hopefully my interests in icons will fall under the interests of others.

|RULES|
o1; Do not steal. This should be a no-brainer. If you didn't make it, don't say you did.
o2; Please comment if you are taking an icon. Also, just comment if you feel like it! I like comments and I don't bite.
o3; Please credit me. You can do so either in the icon keywords or the icon comments. Please credit yatonogami or astrokittie.
o4; Please do not alter anything without asking first.

I believe that's it. Have I said "please" enough? :3


I'll eventually edit and format this post once I get around to formatting the journal. The entries are far too big for my liking at the time being.

I've never really made textures for serious before, but I decided to give it a try out of sheer boredom today. They're pretty boring, but whatever.
I made them out of pictures I took at a show.

Annnnd one big ugly texture that I'm only posting because the base image I used gives me a giggle fit. You can almost make out the spiked gimp mask.

►► Please comment if taking anything, or just to say hi! I ♥ comments!
►► Please credit yatonogami or astrokittie. LOL I DON'T REALLY CARE BUT CREDIT IS V. V. NICE.

P.S. Please tell me if these are totally awful or something. Like I said, I've never really done this before.

I was going to be lazy and not post everything since it takes me like 4 hours to do an icon post (god I'm slow) but screw it, I don't need to sleep tonight.
Most of these are really really crappy variants of each other. I apologize. ):

Blood and spoilers warnings apply. Except they're spoilers (and blood) from Metalocalypse, so I don't think anyone cares.

Small icon posts are awesome, because they don't take 5 hours to compile.
I had a fuckton more icons to post, but then my hard drive crashed, so this is essentially all that I've done since rebuilding my poor, poor computer. Feels rather empty, doesn't it?

I haven't forgotten about you all! Ok, well I did... for like a week. And then I promptly remembered that I owed people some icons.
Here are the results of my first set of requests! Only 5 people wound up asking for icons, so hurr, less work for me!

Icons for:
botling (Gantz; Host Samurai)
so_vayne (Rurouni Kenshin; Hajime Saitou)
rexy_jade (Nausicaa; Nausicaa & God Warrior)
xel_ko (Steel Ball Run; Diego "Dio" Brando)
fabula_umbrae (Hello Kitty; an abomination)
(though anyone is welcome to use them! There are 16 icons total)

( チョコレイト・ディスコ )

Have some of the ugliest, laziest icons I have ever made. (Well, not the RG icons. Because the source material is pretty. RE4 screencaps though? WHAARGARBL.)
I'm 3/5ths done with requests (which are still open btw). I just wanted something to do that didn't involve actual thought, which is why there are 40something Leon icons.
Durrhurr.

|20| Red Garden
|01| Red Garden: Dead Girls
|43| RESIDENT EVIL 4 (like, all of them are Leon)

I am bored as hell and I wanna get ill, go to the place where my homeboys chill fuck, and I have like 23 watchers.

SO.
REQUESTS, ANYBODY? I'll take the first 10. I'll try to get them done sometime within the next two weeks.

<b>Image</b>: link to the picture you want me to use goes hurr. <b>Text</b>: I really hate text, but if you want it to say something, tell me what and I'll try to accommodate you.

Also, any icon you request is free to be used by anybody else, because I'm not into that whole not sharing business.
And please for the love of god, no CLAMP art or anything ultra-super shoujo. I think if you're watching me though, you already know that I prefer MANLYBADASSRAAGGGH.
/done coming off as a total douche.

Edit: Hey guise, there's still like 5 slots left. GOGOGOGO.

Wow. This banner is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Sorry if it rapes your layout.
Concept art of Dante from DMC4 for 10variations despite the fact that I didn't bother posting them there. Oh god, I was bored enough just to make these.
