Pre-made User Info Titles (Styles #1)

Tue, 04 Jan 2005 05:46:40 GMT

Introducing pre-made "titles" for the user info. All styles are packed into .ZIP files because it would be a pain for me to upload each one and more importantly, I'd rather not take the chances of people direct-linking these images.

All .ZIP files include the following:

about me

affiliates

credit

fanlistings

favorites

friends only

interests

links

misc

rules

welcome

To download them, right-click on the link(s) and choose "Save Link As..."/"Save Target As...".

Bandwidth Exceeded

Thu, 09 Dec 2004 05:09:06 GMT

Sorry, but my bandwidth has exceeded and it's only December 8th, meaning that my bandwidth won't be resetted until the 26th. This really sucks, but I don't want to go through the trouble of uploading them onto another host because I'll most likely exceed bandwidth again, but we'll see. I might upgrade to Photobucket Premium, but we'll just see how it all works out (I don't really want to spend $25 for image hosting).

Christmas Bases - Part 1

Thu, 02 Dec 2004 06:19:13 GMT

Yes... Christmas bases! Part 1! That means there'll be a second Christmas post. Credit is unnecessary because they are bases from Getty Images, but appreciated. :)

002. Credit is NOT necessary, but appreciated.
003. Please do NOT hot-link.

Bases.

Wed, 10 Nov 2004 03:28:02 GMT

I present to you a batch of bases (about thirty-six). Since no 'special' alternations were made to the original pictures, which came from Getty Images, credit is not required.

002. Credit is NOT required, but is appreciated.
003. Please do NOT direct-link.

Political time.

Tue, 09 Nov 2004 04:45:54 GMT

Anti-Bush/Cheney icons. Respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.

* ** **

* Has a white border around it (obviously not visible).
** I have been informed that those icons are not quotes directly from Bush, but rather Dan Quayle quotes. I'll be looking into this and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

Credit to YouForgotPoland.com for some of the images and captions. It is a truly beautiful Web site. Quotes were gathered from various quotation Web sites.

001. COMMENT if taking any.
002. CREDIT _evenstar in your keywords.
003. Please do NOT direct-link.

Newsflash/Arrow Series

Sun, 03 Oct 2004 04:48:11 GMT

NEWSFLASH: Whoever is submitting my icons to Avatarity without my permission, stop it, you dimwit. It's called "stealing". And to you Xanga users, stop taking LiveJournal icons without crediting (whether you're using it for your Xanga or as an avatar for a Xanga-related forum).

I'm running out of inspiration and I don't have as much time to update this journal anymore, but I'm working on it. Here's the Arrow Series batch. The following teasers are all I have (three types), but under the cut are different colourised versions of them (red, orange, blue, green, grey, purple, pink).

Teasers:

001. Comment if taking any.
002. Credit me in your keywords.
003. Do not direct-link my icons.

Twenty-four icons today.

A new style... sort of.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban graphics.

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 05:51:34 GMT

My Harry Potter batch wasn't going as well as I wanted it, but I decided that the wait was too long.

Seven headers (yes, seven!) and seven icons!

Teaser:

That's enough for the headers. Onto the icons...

If you do not know how to use the headers, please visit Syndarys. She has a tutorial on how to do it.

001. COMMENT if using any graphics.
002. CREDIT me in your user info or keywords.
003. SAVE to your own server. Please. For the sake of this journal and my free servers.
004. Brush credit goes to isabellecs.

An update!

Tue, 15 Jun 2004 00:41:54 GMT

I'd like to apologise for not updating for so long. I kind of fell off the face of the earth for a while there. I'm also sorry if you needed help, particularly with installing the headers that I posted in a previous entry, but I never have comments e-mailed to me.

Right now, I'm trying to experiment with different techniques in PSP7 for a Harry Potter graphic batch (which will come very soon), but right now, you'll just have to do with headers of John Mayer (2), Angelina Jolie (1), and Kirsten Dunst (1).

Thumbnail:

They're all either in .GIF or .PNG format because .JPG sucks and the dimensions are 601 x 299. If you need help installing a banner, go to Syndarys.

001. COMMENT if taking any.
002. CREDIT me in your user info. Not some entry, but your user info. And it's _evenstar, not evenstar.
003. SAVE to your own server. I heard that direct-linking can cause blindness.
004. Images credit to Celebrity-Scans and Fanatical.

I'm not dead... yet.

Sat, 05 Jun 2004 07:37:23 GMT

I guess I'll have to update soon since I haven't updated in over a month.

Oh, well. I suppose I'll update next week.

Yo. Here's a first: headers!

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 02:52:45 GMT

Yes, that's right. Headers from _evenstar icons will now be introduced. I'm so making everything these days [notreallybutohwell]. Well, here's four headers of Johnny Depp, Ashton Kutcher, Kate Bosworth, and Mischa Barton.

Thumbnail:

They're 601 x 299. I apologise that they're so plain, but I'm too lazy to blend or do anything else, plus there's more headers coming soon as well, I just need to convert them into .JPEG format. Plus, I worked hard on those four [smoothing them out, adding effects, adjusting positions].

Should be perfect for full Generator sizes (like my journal layout right now), but do whatever you want. Oh, and see the (C) _EVENSTAR part? Yeah, that's the first time I'm doing that, but it's just for headers.

001. COMMENT if taking any.
002. CREDIT me in your user info. Not some entry, but your user info. And it's _evenstar, not evenstar [that really ticks me off].
003. SAVE to your own server. I heard that direct-linking can cause blindness.
004. Images credit to Celebrity-Scans and Fanatical.

Sat, 17 Apr 2004 19:35:41 GMT

Well, I'm lazy, and I can't help it.

But here's an update.

Nine icons, seven bases.

Teaser:

* Brush credit to sinecure (life in hands)

001. COMMENT if taking any.
002. CREDIT me in your keywords for the icons. I don't need credit for the bases.
003. Images came from GettyImages.
004. All icons and bases are in .PNG format because I don't like .JPEG and my .JPEG compression thing is screwed beyond belief.

Fourteen icons total.

Sat, 13 Mar 2004 04:37:28 GMT

Thirteen Harry Potter (Chamber of Secrets/Prisoner of Azkaban) icons and one Tom Felton icon.

I'm apologise for not updating so long, but I was uninspired, ready to delete this journal because I lost interest, and do something else. Alas, I decided to get off my lazy arse and do this and I will be revamping my icon journal soon with new content.

Teaser:

* Base credit goes to serpent_eyes. Thanks!

001. COMMENT if taking any icons.

Valentine's Day icons!

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 01:53:14 GMT

I made these icons days ago and thought of putting them up next month instead of now because it's a tad bit too early, but I'm impatient. Yes, I got some actual Paint Shop Pro work done, along with a lot of bases.

Teasers:

002. CREDIT for the icons. I do not need credit for the bases.

Smirks like Draco Malfoy

Fri, 09 Jan 2004 04:59:52 GMT

I've a new layout up; featuring Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. :D

Nine Harry Potter bases today...

As for getting some actual Paint Shop Pro work done, I've got five high-quality Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban friends-only banners done!

Teaser:

001. COMMENT if taking any.
002. CREDIT me for the banners, I beg you. I don't care about credit for the bases at all.
003. SAVE to your own server! If you don't, I'll replace the images with nastiness.
004. I apologise if you cannot make out the extremely-ridiculous-small text on the banners, but for the most part, most of them say, "The adventure begins on June 4th". And yes, they all do have borders, but it's not so visible against a white or light colour.

I'm a base whore.

Wed, 07 Jan 2004 03:35:06 GMT

Sorry, only 13 new bases today.

Teaser:

001. Comment me.
002. Credit is NOT necessary for this batch, but it's nice. ;)
003. Please do NOT ask me to customise any bases for you, because I will not.
004. Full credit goes to Image Bank.

Teasers:

And an animated icon, because I love you all.

001. Comment if taking any.
002. Credit me please! I rarely request credit for bases, but this batch took me a while.

Lots of bases!
