: icons - ALOT :

+notes: Can't stop, the clowns will eat me. I am nearing the home stretch here, the real hurdle will be all those final fantasy/tales series icons which I have collected-- as well as the Princess icons I have (not disney, but manga series) that is the next update. This was fairly easy though as the folders in question only had a few icons per folder so it was easy to lump a lot of series into one post. As usual, some are old, some are new and all are learning experiences.

: icons - PRINCESS :

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

+notes: I wanted to give the Princess series it's own page because I will never stop being proud of all of these icons I made or the effort I put into such an amazing series. I love this series and I'm gonna sit down and tell y'all why. Back in 2008, my ex girlfriend had left me at home while she and her husband went off to Florida-- it was Christmas, I was lonely and depressed. Then I saw someone posting scanlations on LJ, so I was like "the art looks nice, so why the hell not?" I started reading the first volume, I was off work for the weekend and I had nothing better to do. 16 HOURS LATER I WENT TO BED IN A SOBBING TEARY MESS BECAUSE THAT SERIES DID SOMETHING TO MY FEELS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. It was still updating so I had to wait for scanlations along with everyone else (I think that I covered 26 volumes in a 16 hour period, idk how healthy that was in the long run). This series, my friends is WHY I LEARNED HOW TO COLOUR MANGA and I can vouch that 90 percent of these icons started out as 'black and white', which is why I am so proud.

Also my feels, my fucking feels. I will look at certain icons from series and go 'eww what was I thinking' because I am hyper critical of myself, but every single icon I did for the Princess series was a labour of fucking love and in my eyes there is not a bad one out of the entire bunch. You can also read Princess Here. It may be shoujo trash, but then so am I so it's all good! (also if you read-- keep kleneex on you)
