This icon journal is abandoned for now and possibly for good, since I don't make icons much anymore.

However, you're still welcome to take and use the icons here as you like, wherever you like.

Please, don't claim them as your own - but feel free to share them with others.

If you want to credit me, please credit pixelbypixel ONLY.
My main account used to be xenia, but I changed my name and another person is now using that LJ username.

My main journal is now astroasis .

Thanks and enjoy the icons :)

12:53 am - no, this journal isn't friends only...

...but today's post is! *grin* Just when you thought I'd forgotten all about you all, I have returned! This time, bearing some Friends Only banners I made months ago and, uh, never bothered to ever post. Oh well! Here they are now. Only one teaser, since they're bigger than icons... The rest are behind the cut. They're all Powerpuff Girls, with the exception of one Rocky & Bullwinkle one. And yes, the PPG ones with the black bars are all ONE image with a transparent background, not three separate images.

Teaser:

Since credit's given in the banners themselves, you don't have to worry about it one bit. Just right click, save... and stick them wherever the heck you might want them. They're a bit small, so they look best centered in your entry, as they are here. I'd still love you forever if you dropped me a comment to let me know what you think, though! :D

11:15 pm - Hello Kitty "Travel" Icons (12 icons)

I made a whole batch of Hello Kitty "travel" icons, since someone in another community requested one earlier. I ended up making four different styles in three different colors each. Go ahead and take whatever ones you want... Just please leave me a comment so I know you like them and I'll love you forever if you credit me (

xenia or

pixelbypixel (my icon journal)) in the keywords or comments field in your userpics page :)

Teaser:

I'll also be posting some Pearls Before Swine sometime soon, too :)

7:58 pm - InuYasha Sprite Set (26 icons)

The complete set contains one icon of each character, with a star in the upper right corner (like teaser #1). There are some alternate versions of some characters that have little object sprites in the upper right corner (like teasers #2 and #3). Sesshoumaru posed a problem, as his name is simply too damn long for the format. So the "set" icons of him feature the name Fluffy. *hides face in shame* Sorry. There's also a "Sesshoumaru" icon with a slightly different look, for those of you who can't stand the "Fluffy" thing.

Teasers: 1.

Behind the Cut:
Icons of Kagome, Inuyasha, Human Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, Kikyou, Kouga, Kagura, Naraku, Jaken, Yura, Hiten (hey, he's hot) and, of course, Sesshoumaru.

</b>Notes:</b>
All sprites are from the InuYasha video game(s).

If you take any of these, please comment and credit (either

xenia or

pixelbypixel).
Thank you!

3:19 am - Back from Hiatus! (15 Random Icons)

I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted any icons, but I sort of took a break from making icons. I made a fresh batch, though, and still have a few I managed to make over the last few months... So here they are for you. I'll be posting another batch of icons tomorrow, because I also have a complete set of InuYasha character sprite icons to share, but don't want to extend the load time on this post with all of the icons from that set ;)

So without further ado, I present to you... Random Icons! *smile*

Teasers: 1.

Behind the Cut:
5 InuYasha icons (the show, not the character)
1 Shirley Manson icon (similar to teaser icon)
1 Maja Ivarsson icon (won 2nd place in a contest)
1 Alicia Keys icon (won 2nd place in a contest)
2 Neopets "Meepit Juice Break" icons
1 "Hot Summer Stud" icon (won 1st place in a contest) :D
1 Adult Swim bumper icon (an old request)
- Icon notes and credits are behind the cut, too.

If you take any of these, please comment here and credit either

xenia or

pixelbypixel.
Thank you!

9:27 am - My Little Ponies! (9 icons)

Been working on some My Little Pony icons lately... and here's what I have so far. I couldn't decide which effects I liked best on some of these, so there's a lot of variations on these images. The first teaser is the only one of its kind in here, but the second teaser has several different versions with completely different effects behind the cut and the last teaser has two variations (one without the daisy and one without the animated background) behind the cut, along with one "MLP... more addictive than crack" icon ;) So if you like the teasers, check out the variations. There might be one you like more in there! :)

Teasers: 1.

* All images are copyright Hasbro, please don't sue me, I have no money.
* Animation on 2,3,6&7 is from re-tinted animated backgrounds by

graphical :D
* If you take any, please comment & credit either

xenia or

pixelbypixel <3
* Don't claim these as your own... or else my pony herd will EAT you. :)

7:34 am - Vintage PinUps (22 icons)

Apologies to anyone who's here for the anime/toy icons and might not want to see adult stuff. But these aren't graphic at all. It's just a set of cute and simple icons using pin-up girl art from around WWII or so. They're from trading cards (sort of) called Muto Cards. The text on them are the titles of the cards themselves, so don't shoot me if the text sucks ;) Here they are...

7:42 am - Some Music Icons (5 icons)

I recently joined

rockchicks. The first two "rock chicks" up for iconing were Kylie Minogue and Amy Lee (from Evanescence). The teasers here happen to be the icons I submitted and won awards for (first for Kylie, second for Amy). I ended up making more icons than I needed for submitting (as usual), so the rest are here, too. I'm also throwing in an extra Kylie icon from a contest I entered in

sinful_graphics awhile back and never posted here. Oops! :)

Teasers:

Notes:

First place Kylie icon uses a modified template originally made by

perfect_fantasy.

Second place Amy Lee icon uses filters made from bases by

vblackangelv.

The "Pretty in Pink" Kylie icon uses a modified animated base by

graphical.

The starry Amy Lee icon was made using a template by

cherry_icons.

Please comment and credit (

xenia or

pixelbypixel) if you take any! Thanks :)

8:33 pm - Small Inuyasha Update (3 icons)

I haven't been making a lot of icons lately, but I have a whole bunch to still post. Here's three InuYasha ones I haven't posted here yet.

The first one I just made the other day and it took me forever. I thought it would be easy, but the third closing sequence pans out very slightly as it adds in the characters, so it looked dodgier than I wanted it to. So I added them in one by one to a still frame of InuYasha in the tree. Then the fading took forever to scale down so it could fit in an LJ icon. As it is, it's only barely small enough to use (39.5kb! Yay!) Sheesh. So if you take that one, please make sure you credit me, because I love it more than the first born child I don't have yet. Thank you! :D The second one's just one I slapped together for a contest while I was playing with text animation effects. The effect came out too dark to really get the full effect of, and I don't like the changing text combined with the animation effect, but whatever. The third one's just from a couple months ago and I don't think I ever got around to posting it here (apologies if I did and just forgot). The lyric's from Depeche Mode.

Please comment if you take any of 'em... and I'll love you forever if you credit me (either

xenia or

pixelbypixel). Thanks! <3

9:09 pm - Kylie Minogue & Sophie Ellis-Bextor (6 icons)

Here's some icons I made last week for a contest that happened to have the theme of "lips". I'm sticking most of 'em behind a cut, 'cos I know most of you are in here for the anime/toy icons ;) But here's some teasers, anyway :) And incidentally, the first teaser is the icon I entered into the contest - and it won 2nd place :) Yay! 1st teaser is Kylie, 2nd is Sophie.

1.

Notes:
- Text on all icons are from song lyrics by the artists on the icons (and yes, Kylie did a cover of the song in icon #3 ;))
- Please comment if you take any, and I'll love you forever if you credit me (either

xenia or

pixelbypixel). Thanks! :D

1:47 am - Anime and Cartoons! (22 icons)

This update has the new InuYasha ones, along with some Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Yay! :) There's lots of alternate text/animation versions of icons in the Aqua Teen ones... but I think that's for the best. The third icon in the teasers is the first icon I've ever won first place in an icon contest with! Yay!

Teasers:

Notes:
1. template by

minttea
19. template by

cherry_icons
- All the text bits on the Aqua Teen icons are quotes from various episodes, except for 12 & 13, which are from Foreigner's "Double Vision" - of course! ;)

12:44 am - Care Bears and some other 80's Toys (19 icons)

I'm posting these in two batches to try and save people from having to load up so many images all in one entry. Apologies for having two updates on your friends list instead of one, but if you wanna load either of these pages, they'll load faster this way. This first update is the 80's toys update. They're mostly Care Bears, with some other stuff thrown in.

Teasers: 1.

Behind the Cut:
6 various Care Bears
3 Care-A-Lot icons (same icon, one static and two with different animation effects)
5 Care Bears Star Buddies (one animated "slide show" and a static one of each star buddy)
1 Rose Petal Place icon
2 Transformers icons

Notes:
- If you're taking any, please comment and credit me in the keywords - especially for the sparkly ones, 'cos I made those sparkles all by myself :D
- Credit can be given to

xenia or
