Gundam 00 is hard as fuck to crop. I've not seen many people pull off very good crops, and I don't think I did that many nice ones in this batch. Instead of focusing on my crops, I ended up focusing on colors. I wanted to make these vibrant, since a lot of my icons tend to be a bit dull--and dull doesn't work for Gundam 00. The caps themselves tend to be dull and the show itself doesn't bring out its own colors, but that's what icon makers are for. I don't know if I achieved it, but there you go.

I started making this batch in part because I just like the show and in part because I'm obsessed with Lockon. Thank you, role-play, for making me fall in love with this character. He's featured a lot as a result. I wish there were more scenes between him and Alle and him and Setsuna that could be used for shippy looking icons. But most of the time, he keeps his distance from them. I considered doing some fanart in this batch as a result, but there's enough nice looking fanart icons floating around. You don't need me to do it, as well.

For the most part, I made this entire batch on a whim. My favorite icons are the Rock and Terry ones, since their composition is the nicest. I hope you enjoy!

I was looking for Runaways icons last night and came up with very few. That, or they were covered in a bunch of text and while some of the typography was very nice, they weren't good for role-play usage. Therefore, I took it upon myself to go unzip a bunch of my comics so I could make icons. None of these are particularly brilliant, but I figure they can be used for role-play purposes.

Most of these are Karolina. I apologize if her hair is insanely bright. I also apologize if Victor looks yellow in any of the icons.

ALL icons are from the run done by Brian K. Vaughn, as I pretty much act like Joss' run never started.

Miscellaneous fanart icons. I grabbed most of the fanart off 4chan, so I don't know who drew it. That doesn't mean that I'm taking credit for the art. The artists put the work into these, and I just thought it would be nice to have people be able to appreciate them (even in 100x100 format). If you are the artist of any of these and do no want your art included, let me know, and I'll take it down. And if you are the artist and don't mind, I'll put credit at the end of this post so they can find your art later on.

As a result of my using fanart for the icons, credit is not necessary, but it'd be cool if you did just so they can find these again.

This is my first post for icons. Most of this is going to be a dump of manga_battle icons I did. I ended up in 11th place, though I can proudly say I held 8th for most of the competition! Or something. Anyway, I ended at week eight. I meant for there to be more Darker than Black icons in this post, but the last episodes are hard to icon because of the color and the fog beyond the wall, so I might go back into older episodes for more icons later. I also wanted to icon comics, but nothing's jumping at me at the moment.

Anyway, icons!
