That icon meme

silveraspen: Comment regarding this, and I'll pick seven icons to ask you about.
Her picks:

I've always described Hanatarou of Bleach as a brave little toaster, because he is. He's a good healer but not much of a fighter at all, always getting picked on by the stronger ones. But despite his meek nature, there's a deep reservoir of courage, so I used his bravest moment so I'd finally have an icon of the description I kept using.

raynos,
tenebris and I were discussing the follow-up to one of Ray's fics, where Ichigo and Rukia sort of run off to go be homeless in Karakura. We decided they could sleep in something you sometimes find on playgrounds for kids to play on and in. "A concrete tube," I said. "A concrete tube of love."

A simple screenshot from the "Rolling Star" opening of Bleach, but I played with filters and coloring until I got this very vivid, very pink look. It looks emotional to me, like she could be contemplating something important as she watches the sunset.

Rukia's sword, Sode no Shirayuki - "sleeve of white snow." "Release" being both what a shinigami does to use the true power of their sword, and what Rukia really needs to do in general, having held so much inside for so many years.

Captain Kyouraku Shunsui wanted his vice-captain to sprinkle cherry petals down on him from above for the visual effect. When she got tired of his antics, she dumped the whole thing on him. I think it's both an effective visual and a good summary of their relationship.

Ichigo's antithesis, his inner Hollow, him turned 180 degrees, waiting for him in the recesses of his soul. I just liked the stark creepiness of him there, ready to face Ichigo.

The only icon not made by me! All of the swords in Bleach have souls in them, and someone was making icons of them. This actually is fairly close to what Zangetsu looks like, him being one of the few swords whose true form we have actually seen. I'm not sure who the guy in the picture actually is.

Let's talk in pictures
Jan. 31st, 2006 10:47 amIn this post, talk with your icons, and *only* your icons. Post early, post often, and respond to whomever you want. Just leave a dot or a dash in the comment field if LJ tells you you can't post a blank comment.
I've seen this on my flist a couple times but each entry gets different interplay depending on the icons people use, so I'm going for it too. Talk to me, babies, I re-upped my 100 userpics just for this!

Ooh ooh, pay attention to me!
Mar. 3rd, 2005 02:06 pmStolen from various folks:
I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

Was playing around with one of
missandrony's icon tutorials tonight and came up with this. Considering I've been doing anime icons for ages, I don't think this is a bad start into Better Fiddling.

Feb. 18th, 2004 08:54 pmBed of Lies is a really wonderful Cowboy Bebop AMV to which
rashaka introduced me. For some reason, I then decided that what the internet really needed was a lyrics set of LJ icons to the song.
Oy. Right pain in the butt that was.
So, now I show them off. I hope they don't suck. If anyone likes them, you know the drill--want, take, have. (But flattery is good too.)
