I have been following your icons for a very long time now, and I can’t get enough from them. I love how original you crop, the way you use your textures and how you put text in the icons. They all look very clean and nice to the eye. It is nice how you make icons from all sorts of things games, manga, stock and they are all beautiful. A new post from you always puts a smile on my face so I am always excited for a new post.

I only want to say that I find it a shame you haven’t made manga icons in a while. I know they take a lot of time but they always looked so gorgeous.

Thanks for making such pretty icons darling =)

Thank you so much, Sanne. And I promise I'll get on making some manga icons as soon as I have the time to color! It's a lot more work than making fanart icons, haha.

Pshhhh I am your biggest fan btw ;;

Let me tell you a story. One day this summer, I wanted to find some Urahara icons. That was a pain. No one had Urahara icons! So I decided to google urahara icons at livejournal. I found shit.... until I found this community polyesters. They had so many posts with Urahara icons, and I saved them all. Even the ones behind a spoiler warning. I was in that love from that day on.

The one thing I like about your manga coloring is that it's so real. It seems the popular thing in manga coloring is to make the colors blinding. But you don't do that. When I look at your coloring, they don't seem like coloring; they seem like official images! And you are able to pull off textures amazingly. I've seen texture work that wasn't that great, but you always make it work. One thing I'd like to see is more fanart. And more Urahara. :)

This might be biased, since I'm your number one fan after all. &hearts

This is... Chels... in another journal... :)

P.S. Hey Felicia, you forgot-

And then I met Andy and I friended her and we became friends and-

Wait a minute you did not just steal number one fan from me. B(

[casiotone.livejournal.com]

You said Andy. Lmao.

oh hello, you!

[jading.livejournal.com]

Well... this is icon meme, so I kept it ~icon-themed~ :3


How could I steal it from you if it was mine all the time? :)

[casiotone.livejournal.com]

THIS STORY. IS AN. AMAZING STORY.

And fkjghdfk you flatter me, stop it! ♥

I can finally can use an urahara icon *A*

[jading.livejournal.com]

I AM GLAD YOU THINK SO. :33

dsaklfjdf I only speak the truth. :)

[candlejack.livejournal.com]

Your icons are so original. I can always tell it comes from you. I'm not a big fan of brown, but you make it work so well. And, damn, I miss your manga icons so bad. You're my favourite for Amatsuki icons, they're so sparse. :\ But, yeah, I adore your style. Very amazing use of textures, too, you can always make it work.

[casiotone.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! And yeah, I miss making manga icons too...too bad it's so much work compared to fanart icons kjdffgfg. But I'll be working on that. :)

[scrawled.livejournal.com]

your coloring is recognizable as some of the most unique ever. I LOVE it.

[casiotone.livejournal.com]

.......wow, t-thank you! ♥♥♥♥

[akushiba.livejournal.com]

i will never get over how amazing your icons are, bb. your crops are basically perfect, and so is the way you use writing on icons. aksdna the textures and the colors aksndas ah, i just LOVE them all, lmfao. especially your latest batches, they've been so perfect. i need more or i might die. that is a fact.

[casiotone.livejournal.com]

DON'T DIE, I'LL ICON RIGHT NOW.

and fkjfdkjfghd you flatter me, omg. ty bb. ♥♥♥♥♥

[starkissed.livejournal.com]

Agreed that your icons are really recognizable - you've got such a great style and your icons are all really wonderful. Very sexy, too. ♥ I like how the colors still shine through even with the grays and the texture.

And one day I will try out your icon tutorial and attempt to make sexy icons, too!

...I mean. >x>; ♥

[shotabeam.livejournal.com]

i'm not very fond of textures but the way you use your textures akljdasf. so. amazing. & like the others have stated, your icons are so unique~ i don't even have to put your username beside the icon name ( cause i usually do this, otherwise i'd forget who made it, lmfao ) cause i'd know that it's from you just from one look at it. keep up the good work♥

[pamkips.livejournal.com]

Your cropping & texture usage is just superb :D

[(Anonymous)]

I love your cropping and your manga coloring. Your icons are very distinct. The only thing I can think of for concrit is that you often seem to use the same paper textures over and over again. While this is your trademark, it's all right to experiment with other textures now and again.

[inquisitory.livejournal.com]

once I see an icon, I immediately know if it's yours, they're just so distinctive ♥ I love the way you use text and textures and omg I just wish I was more into your fandoms so I could raid your posts xD <333
