*claps*
they are all so pretty! even though I don't know any of the fandoms... I just like pretty things.
and 12, 14, 31 and 39 are very pretty. 22 is just funny. heh.
Thinking about it, I might just take number 39 and call it yours, if you don't mind.

see, you should check the animes out so you know what you're looking at...

Take any you want.

[ipperne.livejournal.com]

you're right, I should take a look at the animes.
If I don't I will never know if there's a wonderful story behind all the pretty pictures.

all 3 have some love...

[ipperne.livejournal.com]

then I will be off now, and begin to click the tags to see if the next step is to find out how to get my hands on any of them...

I stalk the 12K community, and I'm thrilled to see icons for it! Otogizoshi as well - I don't think I've seen anybody else make icons for that.

Snagged Otogizoshi #7, and 12K #12 and 19. Shouryuu is love. XD

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

12k and OZ are among my favorite animes. OZ pics are a pain to make icons of because, while they're beautiful, they have virtually no lines and are hard to work with.(that's my excuse for why there are s few...and there aren't a lot of pics online...)

Shoryu and Rokuta are my favorites in 12K...they're just such rascals who have NO use for a monarchy but are probably the best rulers the kingdom has ever had...and aside from Gyosai and Taiki(who are more like idol/uardian and adoring ward than anything else) they're the only king/kirin who seem to really just genuinely LIKE each other(not that they'd admit it) and be comfortable with each other. Though Yoko and Keiki are working their way there.

I really like Juuni Kokki #15 and 17.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I think 17 is my favorite out of the entire post. And I love how Yoko's hair came out in 15.

I just love all the icons. You picked three of my top favorite series. And I've been looking for Juuni Kokki icons everywhere! Plus the OtogiZoushi was just an awesome surprise... anyway, I LOVE All the icons, the styles are great and you used pictures that arent too often used. I stole a whole bunch and will credit if used. Keep up the great work!!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Thanks. They're three of my favorite series, too(actually, if I were forced to choose one absolute favorite, it'd be WR, though the other two would be VERY high up there)

Otogi Zoshi has to be the most underrated anime out there, which is sad, as both arcs are excellent and managed to form a cohesive story even though they're completely different. I think the reason there aren't many is because it's so little known, and so there aren't as many pictures to be found online, and because, frankly, they're HARD! The watercolor style is beautiful, but if you look at it, there are very few lines, which make them hard to work with in icons(which is why most of these are from covers and drawings, as opposed to caps) If you look at the icon of Hikaru reading or Urabe in the hat, you'll notice there aren't lines so much as there are distinct colors that make you THINK there are lines. Urm...not tooting my horn, just saying, maybe some don't have the patience for it, if they've even heard of it?

I think someone else also posted a lot of Juuni Kokuki icons yesterday.

[kissthecajun.livejournal.com]

As much as I love Wolf's Rain mine would probably be Twelve Kingdoms. I have to agree with you though Otogizoushi is very underrated. I loved it so much. The animation and art was amazing, and the story itself was so well told and so nicely plotted out, even the twist to change the times... Amazing. I don't know really why it didn't get a bigger following.

I actually have noticed the watercolor style, although I never realized that it would make it hard to work with in icons. In any case I love what you did with them!

And yes, they did, I also stole their TK icons. Like I said, I love that show.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

It seems that most of the best(to me) anime barely gets noticed over here, which is sad. It seems that if an anime doesn't feature robots and/or some teenager or another freaking out and randomly going manic, it gets no press(not that I have a problem with those-FMA and Spiral are two of my favorites)

[southerndave.livejournal.com]

In the spirit of #22 (which is a definite classic)... do you think your default icon could do with a hairbrush?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

give her a break, she's mid-battle there. Normally it's well brushed and demurely and practically tied back.

[hana-ginkawa.livejournal.com]

Pretty icons. I grabbed one from Juuni Kokuki, and I might be back for more.

Thanks for sharing!
