No longer having fifteen icon spaces, I can't just put this in the avatar space anymore. ;_; Damn the lack of credit card.
So, yeah, this is taken from one of the Many Moments of Cool in A Better Tomorrow II. ( Background info on the movies for those who want it. ) This icon is Ken putting on Mark's bullet-riddled trenchcoat before the final, insanely mook-ridden showdown at the end of the movie (the body count in this end scene ranges from "excessive" to "they must be coming from clown cars"), and belongs in one of the top 250 Coolest Moments in cinema.
Want/comment/take.

hogwartsch (And being sorted into Gryffindor! Yay!) was, "MAKE RUROUNI KENSHIN ICONS! SORT THE CAST! SORT, SORT, SORT!"
...so I spent parts of last night trying to hone a decent-looking iconset for some of the main RK cast members. As of right now, I have the four members of the Kenshin-gumi, and Aoshi, and Saito.
I tried integrating quotes from the Sorting Hat's songs into each of the icons. Aoshi gets a little bit more, since I wanted to put that "Heart of Ice" bit in from the moment I thought of these icons. Works, since Ravenclaw's color is blue anyways. ^_^ Anyways, here we go:
Ravenclaw:
1.
( Five more behind the cut. )
More icons are going to be a pain in the ass, because I'm thinking of at least one more Hufflepuff, and I've already used up the good Hufflepuff quotes. I guess I'll have to come up with original ones now...

Blame bigbigtruck and her damned Bebop Thumbnail Theatre (which is where the quote comes from). I wanted to do other quotes, but the quotes were too big, unfortunately. ;_;

Thanks to seigyoku, I got my filthy hands on some really great Full Metal Panic stories and side stories, including a take on Cinderella which involves Sousuke as the Fairy Godmother (and as such, includes some of the Greatest. Lines. Ever.) According to him, his magic wand "may look like a Panzerfaust, but it is actually a magical rocket launcher. Instead of standard explosives, it is loaded with magical explosives which incorporate the latest in magical technology. Its operation is straightforward; aim with the magical sight, and press the magical launch trigger."
It also has a priceless illustration of Sousuke in an urban-camo version of the Fairy Godmother cloak and bowtie. I wanted to use a wider shot of the illustration so you could see the whole bowtie and more of the...uh...magic wand, but I kept on losing detail in the face. So I went with as good a compromise as I could.

Having just acquired the first two Azumanga Daioh GNs, I took a moment and scanned a few images from what I thought was one of the cutest things I'd seen, and turned it into an animated icon. In about half an hour, I managed to toss this together.
After getting back online today, however, I decided to make a variation inspired bymiggy (original post here) that goes a little something like this. I find it a a really cute punchline for whatever reason.
