Long time no see

Bloody hell! It's been a while. I didn't realise I'd left my LJ for THAT long. *feels ashamed*

Anyway, I'm gonna make a whole bunch new MCR icons, and maybe some of other bands too, in the near future - I'm revamping my site as well. So... yeah. I'm still alive! :)

Penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insides

Back again, had a busy couple of days what with exams and stuff. But I made some more icons! Heh. I made an animated one from the I'm Not Okay video, which you can see above ^^. It took ages! I've never made one before, or used Imageready for anything other than image mapping, so it was hard, but fun. Anyway, here's 4 more icons, because I don't want to wait until I have lots to post them.

Teasers:

[3] Hayley Williams (Paramore)
[1] Adam Lazzara (Taking Back Sunday)

I've decided I love Paramore. My brother's having a little obsession with them right now, and has sent me more songs by them (previously I only had 2). They're really good!

I've been in such an icon making mood today. I had one exam this morning, from 9 til 10 - I think it went quite well. Then I came rome, did some revision for my exam tomorrow, then spent most of the afternoon on the computer, icon-making and surfing.

So, here's a few icons. Mostly MCR with some Patrick Stump ones because angie_aiken wanted some.

Teasers:

[3] Frank Iero
[1] Bob Bryar
[1] Ray Toro
[3] Gerard Way
[1] Mikey Way
[3] Patrick Stump

Again, credit would be great, and comments are always nice.

My Chemical Romance:

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

7. 8. 9.

Patrick (Fall Out Boy):

1. 2. 3.

Quite a range of styles, I was just trying some stuff.

Mama, we all go to hell

I made a couple icons, and I'm posting some older ones I made too. They'll also be on my site at some point, but I'd like to keep the two things separate so I'm not going to give out my site link unless I really have to.

Teasers:

[5] Gerard Way
[1] Mikey Way

Please credit me if you use these, and it would be nice to have a comment if you do, or just if you have any thoughts. Icons 1 and 2 were made using a tutorial by hobbit_hunter.

1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.

You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe

Well, I've been trying to figure out LJ for a little while. I've added some user icons, and worked out how to credit the creators (go me!). Added like, three people or something, and a couple communities I think. If that worked.

I had two exams today - I'm in the middle of my GCSEs at school. They went okay I think, or at least I'm confident I didn't totally fail. I'm predicted great grades in my exams, I'm just hoping I manage to achieve what's expected of me.

Hmmm, I'm in the mood for graphics making - I don't fancy school work tonight, and if I don't do something productive soon I'll feel like I've wasted the night. But first, I'm going to go and get a chocolate eclair from downstairs. It's great when my mam's just come back from the supermarket. :)

Good Morning Vietnam!

Well, seems like I have a livejournal.

I'm not sure quite what I'll use this for - maybe icons, maybe a bit of a blog, maybe tutorials, who knows. But the main point is it's here, reasonably set up and more will come in the future.
