Big Fat Icon Post (SDK, Saiyuki, Bleach, Fruits Basket, Blade of the Immortal)
I've been having much too much fun with my icons. At first I felt very protective and parental and didn't want to let any of them go, but now that I have lots of them, I don't mind so much ... and it's very warm and fuzzy to see them show up in other folks' posts.

Some Notes:
9. Lyrics adapted from those of a traditional British folk tune.
10. With apologies to certain boutique popular with Gen Y.
12. Inspired by the Young Lady, who said that Gojyo's going-adventuring wardrobe in the first books made her think of what happens when you let preschoolers dress themselves.
27. Yes, I know, everyone makes an icon out of this picture. But there's so little good Furuba art online. Let me know if you have a pipeline to some more! (And besides, I messed with his mouth a little to make it look more like the manga Hatori.) Lyrics from The Who, of course, in "Tommy."
28. Ummm ... there may be a generation gap issue here. The reference is to Dr. Suess' immortal work On Beyond Zebra.
29. Lyrics from folksinger Carrie Newcomer (song: "It's Not OK")
If there's another one I use regularly that you'd like to have, you can always ask ... (the ones I still feel the most protective about are the Yukimura ones I use regularly), and I love making them by request too.
ETA: And I meant to put all the disclaimers: no hotlinking to my poor Earthlink account, please credit, etc. etc.

Enjoy ... and I can't believe I just solved my own blippin' Furuba art problem: Aethereality Gallery, the same folks who have the second-best SDK art collection (after dear departed SDKPOWAAA) and from whom I've been getting my recent best Saiyuki art.
D'oh!

Me too! It's funny, because they were one of the first sources of SDK materials I ever found, and then when I learned about SDKPOWAAA, I forgot all about them. And now they're triply valuable because they have things for most of the other series I'm reading!
