An early Christmas present of sorts?? Minus the Dir en grey wallpaper that is and I had originally planned for this to be released along with a Miyavi icon set and another texture set but with the way things are going with my school life, I may have to postpone both until my Christmas break. D: So for now, here's part 1 of my supposed release!

7 - Dir en grey wallpapers (Edit; Now with 1280x800! Sry, bad HTML. >.>;;)
37 - Santa J-rockers! (Bands: 9mm parabellum bullet, alice nine., D, Dir en grey, GLAY, Kagrra,, SID, The GazettE) (Edit; Thanks to nana_rokku (after 58 comment parents? D:), I finally managed to right the wrong! :DDD I knew I couldn't get SID perfectly in one go... >.>;; Anyway, Santa Yuuya is up now!)

These are just some of the bands that I and dammitliz listen to (who I basically used as a basis (i.e. "Who else does Liz listen to...?") so I don't come out with just...9mm, Dir and GLAY. XD I'm not sure if anyone's already done it but I thought it'd be fun and it was actually more challenging than I'd prepared for it to be, lol. Implanting the santa hat onto their heads is easy enough but it's the picture hunting and more so, the name matching that made it a little more difficult. >.>;; So if you're looking for someone in particular and found that he's either misnamed (I am eyeing the 9mm boys as well as SID's Shinji and Yuya >.>;;), one J-rocker was double-iconned for the J-rocker you want or I completely neglected to icon him (which is likely if the band isn't 9mm, Dir or GLAY), just comment with your complaints! :D

For that matter and since Christmas really is all about unity, peace and harmony right?? The campaign doesn't end with Yuya(??)! If you have anyone you want iconned with a santa hat drilled into their heads, just comment with their name, band, and I'd love it if you added a picture of theirs -- the more recent, the better, the more they face front, the better. Pictures are also desired to be in normal lighting -- aka, no black and white, sepia tone, icey shades, etc because it'll make my life easier. XDDD

Also, I iconned whole bands and not like, just four members of a five-man band so unless specified, the Nao and the Kai you see here are, indeed, the Nao and the Kai that you think they are (by referring to the band list up there). Furthermore, some santa hats might look awkward and Kyo's was done on purpose. >.>;; If you want them redone, just comment. ♥

10 - Aki icons (from 10variations)
100 - 100x100 light textures (from GLAY's VERB PV) (what, they make good resources!)
10 - 800x600 scratchy textures (a refining of 'decay of existence' set)
14 - Dir en grey icons
10 - GLAY icons

Both icon sets were made...
a.) for samples of the light textures,
b.) because I got some silly ideas on some icons,
c.) I needed to get my mind off TWEWY. >.>;;

This'll probably also be my last post for the summer.

14 - 9mm Parabellum Bullet
14 - Dir en grey (hide Memorial Summit, still)
15 - GLAY

Reasons for yet another update:
1.) I completely forgot that I wanted to do 9mm icons because that band? You guys ought to watch out for that band.
2.) I am still in a bit of a Dir en grey high. I thought it's been some time since I played with colors, too, so yeah. Hopefully they didn't come out to look like radioactive rockers with burning hair and citrus skin.
3.) I wanted to finish a GLAY set (like...remember the story about the scans? Well, there were three books scanned and this GLAY Story is the last one I hadn't done icons for so...).

Two weeks from now, school re-opens for me...I guess that's also one reason.

Yes! I'm going away this week for a few days and before I do that, I figured I should leave you guys with some animated icons from last year's Jack in the Box Live Session C! They're not very good, IMHO, and meaning that the pixels and bad colors are getting in the way but I'm going to blame that on YouTube (yeah, I just ripped it off there >.>;;) and the 40kb limitation of LJ.

You can watch the entire live here! Kudos to doku_rock17 for giving us the head's up. :DDD

Edit; UGH.

Everyone! PhotoBucket upped the size of the icons and in that effect, made them so much bigger than what LJ can handle. >.<;; I've reupped them all in ImageShack now! If in case you've taken any icons, please refresh your browser and take them again. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!

5 - Dir en grey Icons
2 - Dir en grey FO Banners

Attack of the Dir icons, again -- mostly just me fooling around yesterday. I swear HDM icons is gonna be next in the list. These are all from X-tra-x.de's M'era Luna!Dir en grey Gallery and I know they have 40 shots of the band but I got...a bit too nitpicky with the shots.

4 - Kaoru
3 - Die
3 - Kyo
2 - Toshiya



( 'cause I love my guitar! )

( And don't mind these things, they're just for my personal...memories? )

For a break from the Dir wallpapers, I give you...

9 - Charlie the Unicorn Icons


( shun the non-believer )

Standard rules apply.

15 - Dir en grey icons (1 - Die, 1 - Toshiya, 2 - Kaoru, 11 - Kyo)
3 - Textual Icons, they're placed in the same cut as the Dir icons.

A quick note: I got into contact with Mr. Todd Owyoung and he gave me the permission to make icons out of his shots so we're all clean here. :)


( Kill the beast! Cut his throat! )

Standard rules apply. ♥

5 - Dir en grey Icons (2 - Kyo, 1 - Kyo with Toshiya, 1 - Kaoru, 1 - Die)
1 - Dir en grey banner

Original images of the above graphics may be found here and here. I also still have the *.psd file of the banner so if anyone wants a different text in that, they can comment with their request. :)


( In Communist China, cats say MAO! )

Standard rules apply! You know how it is. XD

It's been some time since I've released some Dir en grey icons, though! And I must say this was a bit of a challenge for me considering I never really know how to make icons out of raw live images. I prefer the photoshoots or magazine scans more than anything else but luckily, I pulled through! Rather proud of this set, in fact.

There is one Kaoru icon, two Toshiya icons, three Die icons and Dir-S-(Ka+T+D) Kyo icons where:

Dir = Dir en grey
S = Shinya
Ka = Kaoru
T = Toshiya
D = Die

See, I could make a formula with how many icons that guy has. Oh, though I think one of them has Die in there, too...anyway. My apologies to Shinya fans! I, myself, was annoyed that there were no shots of him. :( Perhaps in the next set, we shall be lucky, yes?? :D

And now for a bit of a disclaimer (you never know when an image can be used in public or not anymore, nowadays...), these icons are from images featured and taken by Type 3 Media from the Providence show of Deftones' Concert (since Dir en grey's a part of their tour). I read their terms and did not find anything pertaining to prohibited usage of images for graphics.

...unless I fail to understand their English. But for now, here are the icons:


( I died in a car crash, four years ago... )

Kudos to anyone who can guess the two of the four non-Dir en grey-related lines I used for this set! :DDD Standard rules and cheesecakes apply. ♥

I've got my finals, lol. But I have a long break before my next exam so I'm taking this time to post these.


( in communist russia, shirts wear you! )
