I suck. A lot.

No really, sorry guys! :[ I should make an effort to update this place at least once a month, but it'll be harder now that school's started up again. I'll do my best! You rock for sticking around! This update isn't as flushed out as I wanted it to be, but I felt bad for not updating for so long, so I decided it was good enough.

I'll try and make small batches of icons during the weekends and see if I can't turn them into updates every so often so this place isn't so dead. ): I spent my entire summer playing Persona 3, so I'll blame that for not really being on the computer slaving over icons for everyone. You'd do the same if ~*Akihiko senpai*~ was waiting for you everyday, don't lie.

PS: Suggetions? Marriage proposals? You can berate me for not updating/not making JE icons lately if you want, idc. ):

I apologize in advance for advertising when I don't have any actual graphics to show for it (and I apologize doubly to those on my flist who have to see this twice XD). The truth is that I can't think of many places to advertise this, so I figured I'd start with my own icon community. I started up a livejournal community for Nakagawa Shoko, and I'm hoping that maybe I can grab some fans from here:

Please spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested, or just check it out if you're intrigued yourself! For those who are new to Shokotan, I'll be posting up some videos (and perhaps music samples) today/tomorrow to break the ice.

And in case you're wondering: YES, I do have plans to make icons sometime in the near future. As a matter of fact, there's a set of Ace Attorney and Shokotan icons that are waiting to be finished. I'm also thinking of making some Yasuko to Kenji icons, since I've been tuning into the drama. XD Just give me a little bit of time to finish them up and get some other business done!

Thank you to those of you who watch the community despite my lack of updates! m(_ _)m

Depressingly enough, this is the first post of 2008! XDD; Let's not talk about how depressing it is. Let's also not talk about how much trouble photobucket gave me when I tried to upload these. Free time is about as scarce as meat in Gintoki's refrigerator these days, but this weekend I managed to escape without too much homework. I've taken full advantage of it:

It's actually not as weird of a mix as you think! Although I will admit that I just kind of threw the Shokotan icons in there, as some of them have been sitting on my HD for quite awhile now. 8D; Hopefully my next update won't be after the next millennium, but with the way school is for me, I can't guarantee anything. Erm... it's almost the end of the year?! ♥

I exist! And I'm sorry for falling off the face of the earth-- the semester pretty much annihilated any idea I had of "life" outside of school. It's actually kind of depressing so we won't go into it. Today it's Ace Attorney day! I spent a good portion of the night coloring/iconing concept sketches. It was really a lot of fun and a totally different experience from iconing photographs. :D I honestly like it better, but that's the coloring-book-lover inside of me speaking.

Images are of course, courtesy court records. Refer the Phoenix Wright fans on your flist over here! *kicked* And sorry the last few are kind of speaking a different language. XD I made them quite awhile ago, probably during Thanksgiving break or something. Figured I might as well include them too.

That being said: I'll try to update regularly over break to make up for the time that I've missed. ♥ rain_box sent me some lovely images awhile back and I promise I haven't forgotten about them! It's only this week that I've started to have free time. XD;

12 Requests

2007-10-06T06:16:57Z

I didn't actually get 15 requests, which is okay! Made the whole process sort of leisurely as opposed to stressful. I really enjoyed it, it was refreshing~ ♥! So I hope you guys are happy with the product, too. Most of you who provided more than one image got two icons-- those of you who didn't only sent me one or had somewhat low res. images. XD; I didn't want to put out any crappy icons, sorry~!

An icon batch is still in progress-- maybe next weekend if it'll be ready if I'm not too busy. XD Right now I only have 8 or so, and it's not worth posting if it's so little! On the other hand, the suggestion box is open as always if you've got anything you're interested in seeing. I'm open to suggestions (and links to pretty images!) since as of late I'm kinda blah about what to actually make icons out of. That's all for now!

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

2007-09-30T08:17:29Z

It's been a dangerously long time since I've updated, so in order to let you know I'm not dead or something I figured I better speak up! Lately I've been in a little bit unsure of what I'd like to make icons out of (not to mention, EXTREMELY busy with school) so I figured it'd be a good idea to give myself some initiative. Therefore:

Requests are open!
To the first 15 commenters!

Sorry, requests are now closed! (TAT)

Leave me a high quality image or two, any text you may want and if you'd like, an example of a previous icon I've made. (I'll do my best to emulate it, but no promises.) Anything goes, I'm not really particular with fandoms, so shoot!

I can't guarantee they'll be done within the week (because school always needs to come first unfortunately), but I'll try my best to have them by this weekend. If there'll be an extreme delay, I'll be sure to keep you updated. I just want to get myself into the groove of icon-making again, and this is the best way I can think to do it. XD

In other news, for a few months now there's been a small batch of Phoenix Wright icons sitting on my computer, hopefully one day I'll make enough to post a set here at carshrimp. ♥

Wao, an update within a week of my last update!? I'm on a roll. Actually, the truth is that I've just been bored and busy experimenting. (Like actually trying not to shy away from text. And being less lazy in general, rofl.) I ended up having fun! This post is a little different than usual too, because I did all female artists. XD What's the world coming to~?

Oh, also-- carshrimp got a new layout the other day. (To be honest, a complete makeover! Fixed the tags, resources & even userinfo.) Actually, it's kind of weird writing "carshrimp" on a picture of something unrelated to Jin, but that's what goes hand in hand with having a ~~stupid~~ silly icon journal name y/y?

I actually sort of listened to my suggestion box & made icons of female artists, so I was wondering what else people are interested in. Lately I'm at a loss of what icons to make, so drop me a line if you've got any suggestions!

I'm not dead yet! For something a little different, I made some Death Note icons. (I spent a good portion of last week re-reading the manga.) Slapped my manga against the scanner & colored them in. I guess they're not special aside from that. XD

Actually, on that note (no pun intended) don't badger me about any of the colors, ok. :D I don't watch the anime to base any of them off of, so I just looked at the cover of the manga as a reference. Anyhow, that's all. It's sort of, kind of 3AM as I'm posting this so I'm dozing off. I haven't decided what to icon next! ♥

Long time no see! It's finally summer so I've messed around in photoshop a bit. I feel really out of practice, but I'm sure I'll get ~back in the groove~ soon. I'd like to give carshrimp a face lift as soon as I get the chance. XD Anyhow, not much as far as variety goes here today. Posting some icons I made of Koichi, and my challenge for 10variations (also Koichi 8D) that I did over the week. (It hasn't actually been approved yet? Shhh.)

Can't decide if I'm really satisfied or not, so I guess that answers my question. XD It's amazing what a good couple months working outside of photoshop can do~ I really feel out of place trying to make graphics work. Nevertheless, it was good practice. Here's the original image. ~~Why did I pick that one~~.

I'll keep working hard and try and bring another batch of icons soon! Sushi Oji! will be airing as soon as the new drama season starts (somebody make me shut up about it, seriously) so if I end up feeling like making j-drama icons, you can expect to see Koichi here again. I'll try not to be dead over the summer. ♥

10 wallpapers

2007-05-13T04:45:32Z

Here's a quick wallpaper dump. In all honesty I'm not big on making wallpapers, but I figured I'd go ahead and drop these in here in case anyone has the same desktop aesthetic as I do or something, idk. Since I'm a person who likes their desktop pretty clean looking I tend to keep things rather minimal. These are all wallpapers I made for myself as well so... sorry for the lack of variety. XD;

→ 07. Johnny's Entertainment (Arashi, Tackey & Tsubasa, KinKi Kids, V6)
→ 03. J-rock (Baroque, Vidoll, Panic Channel)

Because I have a desktop & laptop computer with different resolutions, not all the wallpapers translate very well to the different sizes. XD; If you'd really desperately like one in your desktop size, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. Owning a widescreen desktop, I know what a bitch it can be to try and find nice wallpapers for your size :(

Also, these are for personal use only! Please don't do anything stupid like use them as your LJ/website layout. ): It doesn't matter so much because some of them are simply just edited images, but you know... disclaimers.

All the thumbnails displayed are the size in which the wallpapers were originally made, links underneath are alterations to fit different resolutions.

Enjoy~! :D These range from quite a time frame (I think you can just tell based on fandom, rofl) but I thought maybe someone else might want to put them to use aside from me. Let me know if any of the links aren't working.

VOTE NOW!

Sorry to pimp this again! :D Voting is now up, so please remember to go and vote for your favorite iconists, especially if you participated in the nomination round. And pimp this to your friends as well, so the contest can get lots and lots of participation. <3

carshrimp is up for two categories: Best J-Pop/R&B/Hip-Hop Icons and Best J-Music (overall) Icons. While I'm definitely not bribing anyone to vote, winning something would be nice! :Dv Thanks guys.

As for me, school is winding down. Just a few more weeks and I'll be homefree for summer vacation. Can't wait to dive back into photoshop, hopefully you'll be hearing from me a lot more. I'll try and work on some icons this weekend if I get the chance so let me know if you have any suggestions. Maybe since the news is that Jin is back, celebration is in store? This LJ is named carshrimp after all.

As for me, school has been pretty busy so I apologize for not being able to deliver any icons lately! ): I promise one weekend I will buckle down and do something, until then lemme know what you wanna see!

At first it was just a joke after too many hours of Budokai Tenkaichi 2, that I would make DBZ icons. But then I found the first season on sale for cheap and while watching it, I REALIZED I REALLY COULD MAKE ICONS. Anywaythereyouhaveit. Sorryforbeinglameandincluding9,000jokes.

Decided to take a little break from my studio work & come back to the room for dinner. :D I've had a little free time the past few weekends (emphasis on a little!) to make some icons, so I figured I'd smash them all together for a post.

I didn't realize it until after I finished making the two sets of PV icons, but both PVs share a similar multiple personality theme to them. XD Weird. Anyhow, I know a couple of you were asking for some female artists, so I iconed two PVs that I really enjoy. The JE icons are just leftovers from a set I never finished, ahaha. 30 makes it even! [/obessive-compulsive]

That's all from me for now! Hopefully next week I'll have more time-- the JE calendars are gorgeous and I'd really like to play around with those in photoshop. Any suggestions? Give me a shout. :O

Haven't played around too much with text lately, so this is refreshing! How's everyone enjoying the drama so far? Shigeru's a character. Sorry there aren't more Domyouji icons, but it seems he really isn't getting as much screen time aside from looking generally annoyed/violated. XD

I'm off to obnoxiously cross-post this to a few places, but since my winter break is winding down and I'm willing to try and shoot for one more batch before I'm swarmed with schoolwork, why not tell me about some things you want to see? I made a suggestion post the other night and I'm open to ideas. Thanks again! :3

Suggestion Post!

2007-01-18T08:12:30Z

☆ SUGGESTION BOX! ☆

I've been meaning to post one of these because I had it at my last journal. Just so you guys know, even though I'm not always up for requests, I am very open to suggestions! Let me know what you want to see icons of, and I may take your ideas into consideration. :3 Particular people, groups, music videos or dramas~ just list your suggestions here so I know what people are looking for. ♥ This post will always be open for your ideas.

* And totally irrelevant to the post, but I'll have more HYD2 icons up-- probably tomorrow. I got bored last night & made about 12 icons 20 minutes into the episode. Ugh, depressing. This is the only way to tide myself over until the next episode comes out. XD;

I know these are either already over the place, or are soon going to be, but whether or not I'm late to the HYD2 icon party is another story.

I didn't make icons of anything incredibly spoiler-ish because I hate seeing spoilers in icons, but if you haven't watched the ~~freakishly long~~ episode yet, I wouldn't recommend clicking on HYD2 icons until you do! (This is my disclaimer, I don't want to be flamed for spoiling someone, rofl.)

This will probably be x-posted in a couple related communities, so sorry if you see this a couple times. XD; Unfortunately, x-posting is a part of getting your icon journal out there.

Sorry these are a bit late, but they're still earlier than I predicted them. :D Anybody who requested an icon at my Christmas post, your icon should be here!

That's right ~~bitchez~~, I'm opening up requests for Christmas again this year. \:D/ Except this time I'm doing it earlier.

You're welcome to requests specific icons: send me images, text you may want on your icon, etc. I will try to do more than one for each person, but depending on how many I get/how much time I have we'll have to see how that works out. Just post your request here, and I will try to have the batch done before Christmas arrives!

This is my apology for being so inactive this year. Sorry guys. :[ As of right now, I'll be taking requests up to December 15 (a week from today). Depending on how things work out, I may extend or shorten that period. Happy holidays!

Oh my god, I promise I wasn't dead. I've been busy ever since school started, simply haven't had the time to make icons! This is a rather simple set, but um... it's an update. \:D/

credit carshrimp / textless icons are not bases!

Don't you like how I avoided text until that one Kame icon? D: Yeah me too. I don't know, I must be on some sort of text-block, but lately it's overrated anyway, isn't it? I'm really sorry that I don't have as much time to update these days, but I promise that I will always do my best when I have the time. X3

First post! (Well, in this journal.) I know it's stupid, but I needed a move. I registered carshrimp for shits & giggles, and decided I was tired of it sitting around. But that's not important: the icons! Mostly Golf & Mike, with a couple for the angry JE fan who's ready to strangle community members and/or their friendslist. Sound familiar?

Ironically enough, I'm going to x-post these icons, but to icon communities where they belong! (And golf_mike because I can.) If you like what you see, you are more than welcome to add my journal, & I'm currently accepting affiliates, so if you want to (re?)affiliate with my journal just drop me a line.
