+Hi everyone! I've been messing around with GIMP lately and after looking at a couple tutorials, I decided to try to make some icons ^.^ I really don't have a proper method of making icons...I mostly just mess around with textures and brushes, lol. But if anyone knows any more sites that have wonderful icon tutorials, please let me know! I really want to add text with effects on my icons but I'm not quite sure how to do that :/ Also any constructive criticisms are great! I'm always looking for ways to improve. Anyway, onto the content!

These are super cute! Love number 8, especially. Yay IX-love <3

Might warn you, though, you have to credit the artists to receive points for fanart icons. (Which is a huge pain if you're like me and just grab pretty pictures off of safebooru or something~)

Thank you :-)

And I didn't know about the credit thing, but I will edit once I find all the links which is buried under my favorites lol.

Awwww, I love your icons! And yeah, I see V warned you first, but could you edit with credit if possible? I can't tag this with 'needs points' until you have at least one credited.

I'm still looking for the specific links the art came from but all of them I got from pixiv, so I just linked to the site for now, if that's okay.

[glacialphoenix]

I'm afraid 'pixiv' alone won't pass muster. I'm really sorry. :(

[the-cosmos-girl.livejournal.com]

I got most of the indv. links and will edit again when I find the remaining three! Sorry for the inconvenience.

[glacialphoenix]

Don't worry about it! Sorry for all the trouble.

[the-cosmos-girl.livejournal.com]

No trouble at all :D

These are all pretty! 08, 09, and 06 (the coloring) in particular~

[the-cosmos-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D

03 is pretty freakin' adorable. :) I also really like 05, 08 and 10.

If you want to add text in GIMP, there's a big, bold "A" in the Toolbox (the thin window that always opens to one side of the main window and that causes the whole program to close if you close it). Just click on that and create a text square anywhere on the image (you can always move it later). As with all of those buttons, you can modify things down in the Tool Options tab (the box that makes up the lower half of the Toolbox). I'm new to GIMP as well, so I'm pretty sure there must be some text modification secrets that I don't know about, but that seems to be the basic way of doing it. Hope that helps. :)

Thank you! I didn't know about the Tool Options tab, so thanks for pointing it out, lol. I'm definitely going to try that out for my next batch :3

Lovely! There is not enough FFIX in the world. I love how proud of himself Zidane looks in 07 :) :) :)

[the-cosmos-girl.livejournal.com]

I agree! It definitely doesn't get as much love as it's fellow PSX siblings. 07 is my favorite fanart of Garnet and Zidane of all time!

And btw I love your icon! It gave me the giggles x)
