I keep forgetting to post both of these! I drew Konata a couple of weeks ago and used [livejournal.com profile] astillac's watercolor pencils to color her. I liked them so much I bought a set of my own :3

Link to the picture of Konata on my DeviantArt

And I got this meme from [livejournal.com profile] daegaer equally long ago! Yay for icons :D

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.

2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!


[livejournal.com profile] daegaer picked...



Snufkin :D He's a traveler, and he leaves Moominvalley in the fall every year to go journeying in the south. This icon is by [livejournal.com profile] maddeinin. It's very autumny to me, and the coloring is just gorgeous. I also love the little reflections under his feet, like he's walking on a wet road. It's a little bit of a bleak icon, but Snufkin is so all about living at your own pace that anything where he figures in makes me happy.


I made this one :3 Van Helsing wants you to use your brain! This is the scene from Dracula where he's talking to his students about syphilis. Van Helsing is an incredibly cool character, and I adore Sir Anthony Hopkins's portrayal of him - it fits the movie, half serious and half ridiculous. He's such a fabulous actor, never needing to steal the spotlight but owning every scene he's in. Besides, Van Helsing looks great in that color yellow XD


By [livejournal.com profile] merlin_emrys! Utena collides with Wicked in the most awesome way. This is an image from the last episode's ending credits *armwaving* and the lyric from "Defying Gravity" is so full of freedom and breaking away and together they're magic.


This icon was made by [livejournal.com profile] semyaza :) It looks almost like embroidery to me, and I love the symmetricity of the wings and the gold-on-black. It's one of the few icons that I have just because it's beautiful, not because it's from anything.


Hoooolmes XD [livejournal.com profile] icons_liek_woah makes the most fantastic icons, doesn't she? I love this one, because Brett and Burke look so incredibly Paget-like here. (Witness: From the same story, no less!) And it's obvious that Holmes took Watson's arm, which is charming and squeeful and bweeeee XD

Yay! Icon squee...one of my favourite things in life ever!

Granada were very good at doing the Paget-like thing, weren't they? Makes me happy. Plus, Granada Holmes was my most popular icon post to date, which makes me proud of humanity.

And Anthony Hopkins was the only thing I liked about Coppola's Dracula. He seems to be the only actor to date who realised that Van Helsing was...well, a little bit insane XD

I would join in, but I only recently did an icon squee post and I fear being annoyingly repetitive.

Also, love your Snufkin icon!

Ahahaha the Van Helsing one. I haven't seen that movie; perhaps I should?

Icon game: I play too? ;)

You're SO right! Van Helsing is so complicated, and definitely a little off the deep end, and actors usually go all "I'm omniscient!" and forget the crazy part.

I'm going to give you some icons just because I like your icons XD In case you feel like doing the meme again!

Sure thing! :D



I LOVE the Francis Ford Coppola Dracula XD It's really horrendously silly at times, but it's the only movie (or play) I've seen to get the Quincy/Jack/Arthur trio even close to right.

Also, if you ever wanted to do a longer post about your icons, I would NOT complain XD Because I had a hell of a time narrowing the ones I wanted to know about down to five!

I will do this soon! Although I'm afraid that a lot of the explanations are going to be "I thought this was pretty ..." *laughs*

Also, please pick more if you like! I love my icons, as you know. :}
