the elements compose a magnum opus

First of all, I want to thank the folks who nominated this journal and both of us for import's animanga iconmakers awards ^_^ Estefanía's output about this was, literally "WTFFFFF." Mine is "someone remembers my username?!" Personally, I don't know what the hell I am still doing there -I understand Este, but not myself- considering I'm not what you'd call a famous or even a good iconmaker, 3/5 of my votes were made by my mutual friends (and really, I actually told them off by cheating me in), and none of the big CLAMP iconmakers supported my nomination. Personally, I doubt I deserve it.

Second, I don't know what icons of mine to suggest for the run. I'm supposed to choose five to seven, but I'm not sure what to use since I lack what you'd call a personal style. They all look different! Which ones define me?! If any of you can make suggestions on good CLAMP icons I've made (and by good I mean pretty, not funny; the Kuro-llama song, for instance, is not pretty), I'll appreciate it. To save you time, I have them all listed by series here.

Well, I moved last month so between that and the incredible icon's block I've been having, I didn't have a lot to offer. So it looks like all I could do for this batch were bad jokes, some of them even in-jokes- and spinoffs of Internet memes. This time, art was sacrificed for the sake of, um, cheesy humor. However, I think the muse is sort of returning, so I might try to do more icons soon. If this semester's Schedule from Hell lets me.

( Im in ur lj-cut makin witty remarkz )

I've been glancing at the suggestions, yeah. I'm afraid some series and characters you guys would like me to do make me want to rip my own eyes off my face, and some others I haven't seen, like, two minutes/pages of them. It's nothing personal, of course ^^ I'll still try to tackle the ones I'm comfortable with ^^

Next post, though, will have CLAMP obscure stuff nobody icons about, because I'm getting some muse from it -namely, Gohou Drug and Shirahime-sho. But first, I need to get this batch out of the system.
