Hello all! Um, this isn't an icon post. Sorry. I haven't made icons in approx. 50 thousand years, give or take a few years. Or maybe just since my last icon post? Either/or. No, lately I'm focusing on larger graphics and such, as those are fun and more practice for my major, which happens to Advertising, which is fairly graphic design heavy. So yeah. You guess it, I'm on tumblr! Oops. My tumblr is: starkexpo. It's great stuff. :P So yeah, feel free to follow me over there if you are so inclined. I'm pretty active on it. Also, I miiiiight, keyword might, make some more icons soon? We'll see. School and work have me on the edge most days, so it might not be able to happen for a while, but maybe someday? As I said, we shall see. Anyway, yeah, that's all. Thanks for watching my community here and for all the comments! I love you all! <3

Well, not first, I guess, but first post dedicated to textures. And first set of grunge textures! Woot. I made some for myself and thought I'd share. This is the first time I've ever made myself these kind of textures for icons, and now I'm playing around with some icons of mine with them. :) Anyway, enjoy. I'm not putting them in a .zip file or anything, so just save and use as you wish. As usual, credit not required. Feel to alter and whatever. :)

Icons icons and more icons. I made a total of 130 Avengers/Marvel related icons, jfc. That's a lot. I'm going to post all of them, because some are very similar variations and I just changed the color or something (but some of those I will post), but it's still a lot. I didn't get to Thor, as in the movie, but I plan on it. In fact, I don't think I made any icons of Thor, oops. So he's next. :D There's a lot of Tony/Iron Man from Iron Man 2, not sorry. The first bunch are from the Iron Man 3 panel at Comic Con. Please enjoy them!

As usual, credit appreciated but not mandatory or anything, and I love comments like my dog loves bacon.

(  Cause I shoot to thrill and I'm ready to kill; I can't get enough and I can't get my fillCollapse )

Hewo. I come bearing some icons of my new love: The Avengers. I particularly love Tony Stark/Iron Man, but I love all the Avengers. This is just the first batch of many, I assume. :) Anyway. As repeat offenders to my community know, I'm not much for doing anything extra to my icons usually, but lately I've been playing around/experimenting, and that continued here. So yeah. I think some of them suck monkey balls, but I'm sharing them anyway, because of reasons? I don't even know. But here they are, enjoy!

( if i let you in it will end us both; i care too much to leave this holeCollapse )

(Oops forgot to put the one at the end with the rest of the Captain America icons.)

Meh. Hope you enjoy them. There are only a few I'm totally thrilled with, but whatevs. As usual, comments make the world go round, and credit is appreciated but not necessary.

Hey guys! Only Star Trek 2009 this time. I tried to make some Criminal Minds icons, but the mojo just wasn't there, so I gave up. But I have toooons of ST icons, so I'm gonna go ahead and post them. These are... a bit different than what I normally do. Hope you like them! :) Because of my playing around and experimenting, most of these have multiple variations. I can never decide, so yeah, here they are.

Oh, and I have some animated icons for ST that I'll post as well. :D

*Credit if the spirit moves you. Or not.
*Alterations are fine, but also feel free to ask if you want to see something else (such as a particular lyric or quote or anything else) and I'll try to hook you up.
*I love comments a lot. That's all I really ask for: if you want to use any of these, please leave a comment? I just really love them. :P
*Con-crit is very much welcomed. :)

Enjoy!

( some nights I wish that this all would end, cause I could use some friends for a changeCollapse )

Oh wow. It's been a while, huh? Oops. Sorry guys. My inspiration for icon-making comes and goes. Anyway, I've got The Two Towers icons I promised a while back, as well as some Criminal Minds and a bunch of icons from my newest obsession: Star Trek (2009). Woo! Hope you enjoy.

( on the upside of a downward spiral, my love for you went viral.Collapse )

New icons! Yay! These are pretty different than the ones I usually make: I used textures. On almost all of them. Weird, right? Most of the time I keep it plain, but I wanted to play around and experiment, and these were the result. Some are better than others, but I love them all. Please enjoy them, feel free to steal/use, etc. No credit is necessary, but I LOVE comments. Enjoy!

Oh, also real quick: there's this icon meme where you can tell me your favorite icon by me. Feel free to participate! Thanks! :)

Is anyone else having problems uploading userpics? LJ won't let me.... *le cry* So not only did I lose half my icons because I can't afford 'em right now, but now I can't even upload the few I could use?!?! *le sigh* Oh LJ, we may have to break-up...

lol. Not really, but it is frustrating, no? Oh well, have some icons that look pretty but that's about they can do right now. Enjoy! ;)

EDIT: OMG U GUYS. Love me forever. LJ scrapbook apparently not working, so I used tinypic for these. Jesus. That took forever. And because I used tinypic: NO HOTLINKING KTHX. It normally isn't an issue since I just use LJ scrapbook, but it is an issue for this post. Thanks. Oh, and I usually post them in the order I make them, but these are backwards due to the tinypic thing. Enjoy them please!

COMMENTS ARE MY BEST FRIEND. I don't need credit or anything, but I love comments. <3

( But I just hate to say goodbye/ to all the metaphors and lies/ that have taken me years to come up with.Collapse )

Mostly I have Deathly Hallows icons (but also some from PoA). Yes, both Part 1 and 2. Don't ask questions.  :P The Part 2 icons aren't the best quality, but they're better than nothing. I've done what I can with them, and I'll make news ones if I can find better quality caps. There are no obvious spoilers that you haven't already seen in the trailers or, yanno, read in the book. lol. But no really, no spoilers for Part 2. The only thing that would count as a spoiler is something you'd only understand if you already know what it is, and it's from the trailer also.

The same rules as always apply here: the are no rules! Credit, etc. if you want. Everything was capped by me. Blah blah etc. etc. Enjoy! Oh, but I do looooove comments, so if you have the time, I would appreciate any comments/criticism you have! Thanks for dropping by!

Hey all! It's been a while, right? Unfortunately I just haven't been in the mood to make icons lately, but I forced myself to make some tonight and ended having a lot of fun. :D I've got a bunch of Criminal Minds icons, all from season six, and then I have a few Patrick Stump icons as well. I'm going to marry his new song 'Explode' so I made icons of his beauty in honor of the upcoming nuptials. lolz. Enjoy them all! Oh, and yes, most of the CM icons are Reid. It's not my fault he's pretty.

*Credit is not necessary, but feel free if the spirit moves you.
*Feel free to alter them, but you can also ask and I'll try to hook you up with whatever you need. :) 
*Capping by me.
*Comments are my best friend. :D
