We're trying something new for the last challenge of 2022!
An interactive activity! Post a wish! Create things!
You can post your wishes in comments to this post. Wishes can be vague like "blue icons", or they can be more specific. If you like, they can be accompanied by word prompts, textures, screencaps, anything you can think of and want to see.
The wishes don't have to be for icons, even. You can also ask for icon textures, or for links to icon tutorials, or fonts. As long as the wishes are "icon-related", they're fine.
You can make as many wishes as you like. The more ideas the better!
ETA: Making a wish doesn't require you to make icons/anything. If you feel like you don't have the time or the skill to fill any of the wishes, you're not obliged to make anything. You can still make wishes!
ETA: I see that people are asking for specific (rare) fandom icons. If possible, please point us to where we can find caps of these fandoms. (I wouldn't even know where to start looking!)
We can then all make icons (or whatever else was wished for) in response to those wishes.
This isn't a secret santa kind of thing or an exchange, there are other comms for that. The comments aren't screened, and the resulting icons will be free for everyone to use.
That said, you're welcome to wish for icons that are specifically for yourself (e.g. you can ask for icons with your name on, or with your blorbo), just note that you won't *own* what other people come up with in response to your wishes.
There is no separate deadline for wishes - just that the closer to the end of the activity you post a wish, the less likely it is that anyone will have time to make anything in response.
You can use this as a chance to see other people make icons of your favorite topics, or you can just treat it as an opportunity to share some inspiration or prompts, or ask some questions. You can actually even make icons for your own prompts, if the inspiration strikes you.
I hope this idea attracts your interest! Have fun!
* You have to make icons (or other icon-related things) that fit a wish made in a comment to this post
* You can make as many as you like
* There is no minimum, 1 is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, in a reply to the wish
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community
* Be polite and thank the makers who make something in reply to your wishes
* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post in January
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting
Deadline: Monday, December 26 2022, your end-of-day

Date: 2022-12-09 07:37 pm (UTC)That’s also why I’m making so many requests. I’m not greedy, really I’m not but I’m hoping someone might know at least one of these. :D
I’m particularly fond of sharp focus and/or saturated colours in icons. That said, I also like sharply focused black and white icons as well. I really enjoy ones that capture facial expressions and ‘captioned’ ones are a lot of fun as well – I appreciate humour in almost all its forms. I also love the pairings I’ve mentioned here right up in each other’s space, even if they’re not kissing (LOVE the kissing though).
The icon I’m using was made (badly admittedly) by me and shows some of the things I like.
1) Lee Soo-Hyuk icons. That’s him in my icon.
2) Seo In Guk icons. I particularly love him in Doom at Your Service and I Remember You but really, any icon of Seo in Guk would make my day.
3) Gong Yoo icons. Particularly love his look in Goblin.
4) Miss Truth. Would love any icon of Xiao Song and/or Su Fu.
5) Guo Jingming’s version of Yin-Yang Master. Would love any icon of Bo Ya and/or Qing Ming… I’m particularly fond of winged Bo Ya and of Qing Ming with his hair down and I’ll cheerfully admit it!
6) Old Fashion Cupcake. Particularly one of them together would be lovely – could be from a publicity shot where they’re inevitably more snuggled up together. :D
7) KeixYaku (TV) . SHIRO. Anything Shiro – love his tattoo. Something Shiro/Ichiro would be bloody lovely as well.
8) Ancient Detective. Icons of Ye Xiaoxiao and/or Madam Hei Wu. Together would be lovely but I don’t think there would be a suitable image to use.
9) Cherry Magic – My kingdom for an icon of Kurosawa eye crinkles. :D
10) Miss S Icons of Su Wenli. She’s marvelous and has some of the best facial expressions (and costumes!)
11) 롱타임노씨 | Long Time No See (TV) – icon of Chi Soo… and/or Chi Soo/ Gi Tae icon.
12) Manner of Death (2022). I would love an icon of Tan and/or of Tan/Bun.
13) Usually not my thing BUT anyone who can do something with this Maxtul publicity shot, bless you!

Date: 2022-12-10 10:10 am (UTC)Also I am absolutely in love with Kurosawa's eye crinkles,please!
I've been dying to icon old fashion cupcake for sometime now too!:D

Date: 2022-12-10 10:28 am (UTC)Since this is my newest
obsessionfavourite thing:Icons of Akk & Ayan together from The Eclipse. Their hugs and kisses are just so heart-melting! Or even of the actors (First and Khaotung) together would be loved! This alone will make me the happiest human ever.
Some other fandoms/characters/ships I like:
Attack on titan-Armin and Sasha. Armin X Jean.
Free!-Makoto, Nagisa. Rin x Makoto, Rei x Nagisa.
Yuri on ice!-Viktor Nikiforov, Yuri x Viktor.
Katekyo hitman reborn-Gokudera, Yamamoto. Gokudera X Yamamoto.
Harry Potter-The trio. Ron or Harry's iconic lines of quotes.
Miura Haruma
Lee Dong Wook
Jungkook from BTS
Guardian-Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan X Shen Wei. Zhao Yunlan with lollipop.
Old fashion cupcake Nozue xTogawa
We best love fighting Mr. Second-Zhou Shu Yi x Gao Shi De
I also like moving(animated) icons like the one I'm using.
For textures I like black and white textures as I can change the layer style and use them easily. Text textures are another favourite.
Holiday Fun

a push for nexticon
Date: 2022-12-10 10:48 am (UTC)The idea behind the comm is to make an icon inspired by the last icon in the chain. You just take one aspect of the icon and make a new icon based on that. Then you post your icon as a new post to the
The last icon (by me, from April) is this one:
Aspects you could latch onto for your new icon: happy, kiss, couple, bl, yellow/green/blue, grunge texture, white border, vibrant coloring, .... etc etc.
You only need to include one single aspect.
(please check again if it's still the last icon before you have a go!)

Date: 2022-12-10 03:44 pm (UTC)you may find a post relevant to Lee Soo Hyuk interests here. I particularly recommend the Elle vid of his morning stretch routine. :D
Kurosawa's eye crinkles may have become a cult following all by themselves. I certainly have a couple of friends equally addicted.
I love Old Fashion Cupcake (BL with adult characters? *gasp*) and actually have a weakness for Japanese BL in general which tends to talk about other relationships/life stages beyond the BL romance... well, like OFC does!

Date: 2022-12-10 08:46 pm (UTC)I'd like to request icons of specific characters from CQL/The Untamed: Wang Lingjiao, Yu Ziyuan, and/or a-Qing. Particularly Wang Lingjiao, but any of them would be great! There's lots of icons floating around for The Untamed, but I don't know if I've seen any for any of these three.
I'd also like links to any icon tutorials that people would recommend! I've no idea where to get started with making my own, but I'd like to try it somewhen!

Date: 2022-12-10 09:36 pm (UTC)What software do you (intend to) use? I can go look for specific tutorials if you give me a bit of info.
For now, here are some that are for Photoshop (because it's by far the most common, or used to be) :
The first thing you need to know is how to get the aspect ratio right:

Second is lighting and coloring and sharpening:

You can also browse these communities if you are looking for something in particular:

Feel free to come back and ask again if those weren't what you were looking for.

Date: 2022-12-13 10:54 am (UTC)LOLOL!
\o/ Thank you so much! Lets hope this will help bring the comm back into people's minds, and it might claw its way back from its current undead state. *g*

Date: 2022-12-13 10:05 pm (UTC)Another Kurosawa Eye crinkle fan , I see the cult rising ! :D
My hands are basically itching to make Tan/ Bun icons.
(no subject)
Date: 2022-12-13 10:26 pm (UTC)So far the only thing I'm seen them in together is Manner of Death but I loved it! I'm a sucker for mysteries anyway so this was a BIG bonus score!
I am becoming convinced that Kurosawa Eye Crinkles ARE the stuff that cults are made of... at least the great ones! ;D
Hands shouldn't stay itchy... I'm just saying...
