Pixel Minx - Icon Design

L. VUITTON BACKGROUNDS

Thu, 04 Aug 2005 01:49:09 GMT

I saw an LV background pattern here (It's grown a lot since the first time I'd been there, it's actually useful now, last time I saw it there was only a small handful of patterns). It was the ugly brown and tan pattern, no rainbow. So, using the brown one as a template for alignment I made a bunch of rainbow versions. Making them look authentic is harder than it seems. So here they are. I'm not too worried about not getting credit if anyone wants to use then as a background on their journal, but if you use it on a website... some credit would be nice. :D Anyway, they are ment to be used as repeating backgrounds, but you can use them for icons and what not. Don't direct link, periodically I'll change the directory and replace the old location with a picture of goatse.

New logo

I've been working on my webdesign site (pixelminx.com) and decided to put the new logo up as the layout here. :)

Jisatsu Circle :: Suicide Club

comment + credit

note: No one should commit suicide... these icons are just joking around about the dark/horror film called Suicide Club. If you are sensative about this issue please do not use these icons and do not watch the movie. I do not condone suicide in any way, I just think the movie is entertaining from a campy horror movie perspective.

WARNING to all icon makers

Fri, 08 Jul 2005 19:43:20 GMT

As you may or may not have noticed, there has been an outburst by a certain icon thief over at iconsandavatars.com. I've been keeping an eye on the situation, and gave them a heads up about it. For everyone who uses the site for displaying icons, here is my support request to the admins on the situation (if you've been commented to or added by the following recently, make sure they haven't stolen from you and submit a message about the disturbance).

------------------
title: Serious Icon Theft Problem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
description: former user 'Celebrity_avatar' whose journal has been deleted due to icon theft (stealing from over ten well-known icon makers, including myself) has created several other accounts (or is having her other icon thieving friends create more accounts) all for the sole purpose to harassing those who they stole from, and to make their accounts look like legitimate ones by commenting around on the "fake" accounts).

The following accounts are known, thieves who repeatedly steal icons or fake accounts used for harassment: Aninisia (thief), loveicons (fake + thief), shiticons (fake, harassing me), Pumpkinpie13 (fake), crazy jem (fake), shopgirl2nd (fake). Please do something to correct the situation. These people are ruining the fun of this site, and many of us have been discussing leaving for good because of it. Thanks.

She just created another fake account 'flipflopgirl28' She's out of control and flooding the community with crap... please take care of this.
-----------------------------

Basically this is one pissed off little kid trying to lash out at those who called her on her theft and reported her. Since we got her accounted deleted she's angry and going on a retarded rampage.

No reply yet to this support request. I'll update this post when I get more info.

[UPDATE] Oh wow... that was quick! All of the fake and thief accounts are gone, except the new flipflop one. Yay for I&A.com!

:: Pokemon // & Remakes ::

I've added some new and remade a couple of my older icons, they can be found by clicking here. Otherwise here's a small update so this journal doesn't go to waste.

All but one of these icons won a placement at pokemon_awards

1.) (Water : 1st place)

2.) (Happiness : 2nd place)

3.) (Psyduck : 1st place)

4.) (Love : 2nd place)

5.) (Power : 2nd place)

6.)

(comment + credit as usual)

updates soon

Sat, 23 Oct 2004 05:21:36 GMT

I have slacked off updating with icons, because it seems a.) people don't know about this journal, b.) people don't like/need/use my icons, or c.) people are forgetting to comment and let me know that my icons are being used... and so I can't tell if they are popular or not.

So, for people who want more icons, but don't want to wait around for me to update, I started a profile on iconsandavatars.com, get to them by clicking here (the credit rules still apply (please credit icons from there as 'pixelminx' or 'natsukigirl', just as you would from here, and tack on '@lj' if using a different journaling service), however you don't have to comment there, but a comment over here in any of the posts would be good, to let me know which icons are most popular, or if I'm even popular at all.

There are some exclusives there, icons I've never posted on either of my journals, and some icons from my own collection of ones that I use, but never posted openly for public use. So it's worth a look.

I just want to know how much time to invest in this. I like making icons, but if no one wants them, I won't bother making as many. I'm not upset about it, just trying to gauge time investment here. :)

Here's a useful goodie for icon makers:

You don't need to credit me if you use this file. It's a real time saver though, so if you find it useful, friend this journal and/or link sweetusagi.com (if used for website). Feel free to offer it to others, as long as you keep the "CREDIT" layer in the file.
