This journal has not been updated since December 2, 2007. Grad school and various other things (such as issues with getting my brushes to install on PSP on my new-ish computer) have kept me from icon-making.

However, I am hoping to be able to have more time to make icons in the future. :) The Insane Icon Project has essentially been scrapped, due to the fact that I have way too many movies to try to make icons of all of them. However, I will continue going through my movies and making vast amounts of icons from the ones I feel like doing. And yes, the Star Wars episodes 5 and 6 icons WILL be made. I have the caps, I just need to make them into icons.

Anyway, the main point of this post is to inform y'all that I am going through a domain change. All of the graphics posted here are uploaded to my (old) personal domain which will be expiring in a few days. I am in the process of uploading them to my new personal domain, which entails going through all my old posts and replacing the old URLs with the new ones.

So if you go to an entry and the icons are not showing up, do not be panic, they will be up soonish.

Icons!

Greetings, friends. You probably haven't seen a post here in a long time, save for the one I just posted about the Insane Icon Project. After coming to the realization that it really had been a long time since I'd posted here, I decided to kick myself in the butt and get working again. I will be redoing a few things around here (including the aforementioned re-post of the information about the Insane Icon Project), and hopefully soon I will have more icons to be posted here, including the next two entries in the Insane Icon Project: Star Wars episodes 5 and 6 (The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).

I just thought I would give you all a heads-up, and let you all know that I'm not dead or anything, and I will be making more icons soon. :) As always, requests are open, though I may re-do that post to make it easier to request icons.

Oh, and finally, every entry in this journal has been tagged for further ease of browsing.

The Insane Icon Project

garnet.sunrise@gmail.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 22:14:49 GMT

What, you might ask, is the Insane Icon Project?

Well, back in 2004, I was inspired into insanity by an equally insane project that catatonic1242 was undertaking. Hers was to make five icons from each episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series. My idea leaned more towards my own obsession: movies. At the time, I had barely 100 movies on DVD, so I thought that, while insane, this could be a fun, light project.

Presently, I own nearly 200 movies on DVD. Although roughly double the number of movies I had when I'd started, I am still determined to make icons from every single movie I own. That, my friends, is the insane icon project. Some number (there isn't a set number) of icons from every single movie I own. This is the information post on the project, so that you can all see how crazy I am. :)

Obviously, once I have done a movie, I don't plan on doing it again, so here's a handy list of the movies I have already iconned for the project, with a link to that post.

MOVIES ALREADY DONE

The 10th Kingdom

10 Things I Hate About You

AI: Artificial Intelligence

Back to the Future Part 1

Back to the Future Part 2

Back to the Future Part 3

Bend it Like Beckham

Benny & Joon

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

A list of all movies I own is located here. The "anime," "tv shows," and "other" sections are not related to this project, just pay attention to the movies. Any of those are fair game.

If you would like to request anything from any of the movies, comment here. However vague or detailed that you want. These are not like typical requests, and I will try to fill these requests as best possible.

Insane Icon Project: Star Wars Episode 4 - A New Hope

garnet.sunrise@gmail.com — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 09:17:04 GMT

I am actually alive! Yes, it's a miracle!

Lately, my icon-making tastes have shifted mostly toward RPG PB icons, and I just really wasn't in the mood for making pretty icons. But then I started missing my Insane Icon Project.

So I bring you the long-awaited, promised-long-long-ago Day 14: Star Wars Episode 4! I'll be watching the other two movies in the original trilogy hopefully within the next few days, as well, to make icons from them.

And maybe this'll kick-start me back into non-PB icons, hm?

Without further ado, the icons! 55 in total, including blanks.

Header -- Emmy Rossum

garnet.sunrise@gmail.com — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 02:39:51 GMT

I've made some pretty quality headers lately, so I've decided to convert smoothyrus from an icon journal to a graphics journal.

Really, the only difference is that the memories are now organized slightly differently, and now I'll be posting other graphics (such as headers) here in addition to my icons. Also, there have been some additions to the rules. The rules for headers will be similar, but not quite the same as the rules of icons. Please go reread them before taking any headers.

I have a ton of headers I've made, but to avoid spamming y'all's friends pages, I'm going to spread out the posting of them.

To start things off, a header (and color variation) I made recently of the lovely Emmy Rossum.

This header measures 650 x 415 pixels.

This is an alternate coloring of the header.

Icon Meme!

garnet.sunrise@gmail.com — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 23:44:25 GMT

For those of you who have this journal friended, but not my regular one, I'm doing another icon meme, like the one I did in December '04 (icons from that one can be found here, here, and here).

The post for the icon meme this time around is located here, in my regular journal.

Come, banish my boredom!

(However, if you would like a custom-made icon that you actually have a say in what it is, check out my request post.)
