Icon set done!

[fickle]

So, I finally finished my Mai/Ryuuji icon set for the Dresden Dolls song.

I also talked myself out of feeling guilty for liking Ryuuji/Mai - I kind of didn't like the idea that I was splitting up two canon crushes (Jou/Mai, Ryuuji/Shizuka) but after all, a ton of people like Seto/Anzu which is equally non-canonical and also splits up two possible pairings.

*isn't feeling guilty at all about making Ryuuji/Mai icons, nope, not at all, even though she had to do a ton of photo-manips*

So yeah, here are the lyrics used:

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?

See Kathy? I used the first line this time.







Oh, and who thinks that I should bother posting them on ygo_icons? I'm at the limit of what I can use, and I think that it would be a shame to have them go to waste.

...damn, and now I want to make one with the pics of Mai in bed for the 'goodbye for the last time' thing. X_x It would certainly be fitting...

In the first one, Ryuuji's got his hand on Mai's shoulder, and in another, it looks a little like he's nuzzling into her hand. *happy*

Of course I live ^^; Gomen ne >.> I thought I got to all your email/comments, but I now see that there are... I think three others that are new ^^;

Awww. Well now you found it and it looks awesome ;P Awesome font @_@ >.> *should have done that instead of trying to make my own all the time* >.> You're smart like that.

What do you wish to change about it?

*nods* Yep. Or both. They don't want to be away and they don't like that idea - contradicting thoughts and annoyed by it :P Something like that ~.~; Perhaps, but her expression just makes me also think, "Regardless of what I say/think, I'm allowed to do this." And just... does it b/c she can.

Aoooh. Fifth is actually one of the ones I'd like to use on my icon list :P It does rock. good to know you admit it!! ^__^

*nods* True. Very true, fitting - and still sad, but very nicely done.

*nods* xDD Yep ^^ xDD It does look like they're holding hands, like Ryuuji's got her's lifted near him ^^;; *nods* And they can be whatever they want in these icons, b/c they'd probably never tell.

*nods* Yeah ~.~;; I know *sulks*

*snugs* Hey, just posting can make me happy :P And it's not just about making me happy *nods* You're happy with most of these icons, so you should be feeling very proud right now.

Ah, it's okay. Sorry about that.

You tried to make your own font? @_@ awesomeness! The font i used is called Opus.

I want to get rid of the halo around Ryuuji. He's not meant to glow like that.

Grab any of them like you like. ^_^

And now I want to edit the last one to make them actually hold hands... X_x

*grins* Nice to know that I'm making you happy.

*blinks* Sorry for what? @_@

I mean... uhh... what did I mean? X_x I don't remember what I meant!! Uhh... Oooh!! For the musical notes! I usually just went ahead, pixel by pixel, to make my own bars/musical notes/staff and all rather than searching for one premade. Opus? >.> I should look that up as well.

The third one?

And I shall and will. Aww ^^' Well you can if you want *nods* Just... well, I know with PSP just new layer and do a little bit of smudge/blur so you can't tell that you drew it yourself.

*blinks* >.> y'know that y'don't hafta try to make me happy @_@' Especially when sometimes just talking to you/someone can do that *nods* *pets*

On the icons, I still really like them... and really the bitterer and the billion dollar one and... I just really really like them ^^;

I found it randomly when I was going through the list of fonts that Photoshop has, so it's not like I get that much credit for it.

Yeah, the one saying plastic fantasy - I think that I'll have to redo that one. ^^;

@_@ I don't need to redraw it, Mai's hand is actually behind Ryuuji's head in that one. I could easily just reposition them so that he's holding her hand, if I can erase the backgrounds again.

Of course I want to make you happy, you're my hikari-toy! *is really glad you like them though*

[xinda.livejournal.com]

Still found it though.

Aww... well... hmmm... maybe enlarge it and use the smudge tool... or darken and see if you can wipe away the glow?

Ack. Never mind. You can do that too.

Soo X_x Besides, really not fair for people to try to make me happy - whether it's b/c I don't deserve it or can't make them happy after all *nods*

*blinks* ^^;; Why wouldn't I like them?

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

I can't find the smudge tool on photoshop ^^; darkening it might work though!

It's easier :P

*head tilt* You make me happy. Obviously not always, because that's impossible, but you do usually.

Hmmm... meh. *checks Photoshop* honestly, I donno where anything is there so this'll be interesting X_x

*nods* whichever is easier.

Err, never mind. I just messed with Photoshop and rememebered why it frustrates me xDD

*head tilt* You make me happy. Obviously not always, because that's impossible, but you do usually.

Ne... that's true. It is impossible to always act a certain way or always make people happy.. no one's perfect. Meh, I suppose I really need to follow my own words sometimes. *snugs* *snorts* yeah, obviously not always ._.

*cuddles anyways*

*hugs* See Dani? Even when you're making me happy, other people can make me unhappy, so my bad moods/frustration isn't your fault or something you should blame yourself for.

But sometimes it can be/is. *sighs* I suppose I'd much rather know to not make the mistake again then not know. *hugs back* Meh, ah well. ._.
