I've been working on an icon batch for Ruskie Business but got stalled for the last week or so due to 2 reasons that smash together into a cycle of shit.  In case it's not known, I had back surgery a little over a month ago.  So...

1. I may have gotten back into the swing of things in RL a little too soon because I thought I was dandy but it was really the pain killers talking, which I stopped taking after 2 weeks.

2. I've been having back pain and have had no energy because of it.  Back pain is most likely because of reason #1.

I'm trying to get motivated but feeling like shit everyday isn't helping.  I'm going to try to finish them soon though.  

Well crap.  I miss this place all of sudden.  Okay, not all of a sudden.  It's always on my mind.  I thought I'd gotten over icon making but this newest surge of Veronica Mars love has rekindled something.  So if anyone is reading this, I propose to you to choose my next and newest icon batch.  This is, of course, for Veronica Mars fans.  And I'm rusty so they might just turn out like poop.  POOP I say.  Anyway....

You pick the season and episode.  If there's a majority, I'll do just that episode.  If there's no way to narrow them down, I'll do 5 from each episode.  Or something like that.  But seriously, get 'em while their hot.  Who knows when my bipolar ass will shut down again.  *big smiles*

If no one is reading this anymore, I suppose I'll just pick an episode myself.  Not as fun but hey... :)

My skills are so rusty, I need a tetanus shot. I've got some hit or miss going on. :p I swear I forgot what I was doing. LOL I was happy to be able to icon Jason Dohring again. I started with 36 but ended up with 28. LOL Anyway, hope you enjoy some of these. *shrugs*

Hello to all who still watch this comm even though I completely suck at posting icons anymore.  I just want to say a few things that have been on my mind lately and hopefully offer some promising news concerning icons.  If you're still interested, read on.  :)

It's been 4 months since I posted anything and 8 months before that.  I couldn't bring myself to open Photoshop.  Couldn't seem to find any passion for making anything anymore.  I figured I was burned out and that was it.  I was definitely burned out but I think I just needed time away.  I needed enough time to remember why I started making them; for fun.  I made it out to be work after a while and lost interest because of it.  They say time makes the heart grow fonder and lately, I've been yearning to get back on the horse.  But, I'm going to change the way I look at it.

I'm not going to promise posts.  I'm not going to give myself deadlines.  If they get done, they get done.  Because, when I feel like making them, I can sit for hours and do so.  But when I don't feel like it, obviously, it's like pulling teeth.  I'm also not going to do a shit ton at once unless the mood really strikes me.

I think I'm going to give this a whirl on Sunday since it's my only free day coming up. Whatever happens, happens. Maybe I'll try a different fandom to icon, like Big Bang or something else I've never done before.

Wish me luck and let's hope the icon Gods are with me. And thanks for sticking around.

I made the bases on Monday and then made all of these on Tuesday. When was the last time THAT happened? I was in the zone. LOL Long overdue for an SPN icon post. Felt a little rusty but generally pleased with these. Hope you enjoy!

Holy crap! It's been many months since I've posted icons! Been in a real funk that I think I'm finally breaking out of. Still, this was tough. I think I almost forgot what I was going. LOL Some kind of suck but hey, better to suck than to... uh... well I don't know what's worse than sucking. Anyway, I'll try for some Supernatural icons next. Enjoy!

Look at me!  Posting icons and only 2 days after I started them.  Since I've recently rejoined the land of lj a little more frequently than in recent months, I decided that an icon post was in order. I chose this episode because it made me laugh. Think I'll do 6.10 next. Cas and porn. Oh yeah. LOL I feel a little rusty. Hope they don't suck. Enjoy!

Before you get all excited, this isn't exactly a "new" post. I decided to try a little experiment with a set of icons I already maded/posted some time ago. I believe these are at least 3, if not 4, years old. For some reason, I had a very short phase with making icons quite... purple. I wanted to see how I could improve them now just by altering the color balance. What do you think? Alternates better than originals or vice versa? Depends on the icon? :) I removed text from a few them as well.

Holy shit I'm posting icons!  Albeit,  not that many and they're far from awesome but hey, you gotta get back on the horse somehow and at some point.  Hopefully this means I'll be posting my usual regularity again.  LOL  And what a random way to start again with an episode from season 4.  Hey, only 2 more from this season and I'll actually have 1 whole season done.  Anyway, enough of my babbling.

I wanted everyone to know that I haven't forgotten about this place.  Unfortunately, I just haven't had a lot of time to make them.  I find myself not home a lot.  I actually tried to make icons yesterday but my computer had other ideas.  :p  I can't promise when another batch will be posted but I WILL post again.  Thank you to everyone who's commented in the past and made this suck an awesome experience that I hope to keep continuing.  *big group hug*
