Hopping on the Meme bandwagon!

Since I'm really getting into iconning right now (I'm so excited about the Master and Commander ones I made last night! Hee!) I simply could not pass up this particular meme. I don't know where it originated, but I got it from [livejournal.com profile] prpl_pen.

SO!

1. Choose an episode of an anime or television series you have on your computer. Make sure you're certain you want that one, you cannot change or mind once you skip this step. DO NOT TELL YOUR FLIST WHAT YOU CHOSE.
2. Make note of how long the episode is here -> 23:06
3. Ask your f-list to choose a time between 00:00 and whatever the length of your episode is. Be specific, (ie: 19:11, 21:09, 02:42)
4. Make them an icon using THAT FRAME ONLY no matter what it is. And remember, you can only use that ONE episode you chose previous, even if the person posting isn't familiar with it.

SPAM ME NOW!!! I'll make the icons after church today. ^_^

Jaa ne!

Edit: Ok, since it looks like I've gotten as many requests as I'm going to get, I thought I'd list my resources and whatnot. You know, give credit where credit is due. SO!

I used this table generator to post the images because I fail at LJ.

This texturing tutorial by [livejournal.com profile] iconsbycurtana is where I referenced texturing methods and a number of the textures used.

Light textures by [livejournal.com profile] uncreativ

Frame and color textures by [livejournal.com profile] eowyn_rus

Textures by [livejournal.com profile] daintybird

And of course, One Piece, made by Toei and Eiichiro Oda. ^_^

Edit2: I re-organized my photobucket account, so I apologize for all the broken links. You can see them here.

Sounds fun XD. I will probably get a random shoe shot or something.

Hmmm... 18:03?

Not exactly what I'd call a random shoe shot, but still random. I learned texturing recently, so I textured this puppy to death. I kinda think it looks nifty, though. ^_^ Want another try?

Yeah, I think it looks nifty too. I doesn't even look like a screenshot :O

Hum... what about 3:34?

Wow, I actually love this one XD ♥

Me, too! It's amazing what knowing just a few little tricks in photoshop will do for your icons. heh. Do you mind if I add it into my next icon dump?

[identity profile] magharabi.livejournal.com 2009-05-17 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, and thank you. I'm flattered. ♥

Go ahead, add it. It looks too nice to let it go to waste.
I love how Nami looks with those pigtails, so I consider myself quite lucky right now :P

Aww... flattery will get you everywhere with me. LOL. If you ever have a request, feel more than free to ask! ^_^
