elaby | Gankutsuou icons :D

I made some Gankutsuou icons! Finally. Only four, though ^^;; This show is so freaking pretty!

01 and 02 are from episode 15, because I'm an utter sucker for the Count having maybeactuallyreal!feelings for Albert. The kanji in 03 and 04 reads hakushaku ("Count"). I managed to find the right rank of nobility under the second kanji with the reading "haku" that I looked up in my ginormous kanji dictionary! XD There were like seventeen entries for "haku" scattered throughout it so I really lucked out.

And lemme tell you what I went through to get that text XD I thought "There's no way I'll find these in my random kanji brushes, so I might as well just write them myself." So after spending a long time writing them in Photoshop *perfectionist powers activate!* they still ended up looking like kanji written by a gaijin who doesn't really use a tablet that often. So I had the brilliant idea of just switching my keyboard to hiragana and writing the word out in Pages. I did that neat little press-enter-and-convert-to-kanji thing, made the font huge, screencapped it, and plopped it into Photoshop. Much easier XD

:3 *sense of accomplishment*
