The-Fry-Bat

Like a behemoth that consumed a burning tire dump, the request list reeks with belches of fullness. And so, with the topping of twenty requests, I bring this freebie session to a very decisive close.

Sorry to any folks aspiring for free pixel-jumbles at this time, when it is far too late. There's only so much room on my plate for so many projects, especially with the vengeful return of classes. I'll likely open requests again after I plow through this batch, so keep your eyes peeled! Like oranges.

As for those of you who scurried into this list while this gates were still open, you have my very personal guarantee that your requests will manifest into icon form in as timely a fashion as I can muster. This doesn't necessarily mean they'll all be completed with superb swiftness, but they will be done. That's what's truly significant in the long run, right? Right.

Good day to all you all.

[Edit] My my, the requests certainly are stacking up- moreso than I expected, to be sure! But then again, I should have foreseen this eventuality, seeing as how I'm handing out freebies here. At any pestiferous rate, I'm drawing the line at 20 requests, which leaves only two open slots. Who will be the final duo of pixel-grabbers? [/Edit]

Yesiree, step right up, ladies and germs, because I'm opening the doors for icon requests! Well... honestly, they've always been open, but this little broadcast makes it all nice and official y'see? These requests may also include avatars for the family, for any wandering souls seeking to clamber upon the joyous, tumultuous ride of that bandwagon. c:

So why open free requests? Because I feel like it. :U But more importantly, I believe that anyone who romps this site is entitled to a decent DA face. But it's not like everyone under the sun possesses the resources or expertise to craft a 50-by-50 for themselves. Oh, I can just imagine them now! Tossing and turning in their sleep, the intense yearning for an icon resonating in their fitful dreams like a tornado siren! "Those icons! All those glorious icons! I must have one too! Oh travesty!" Aha, ahaha... eh. That scenario hopefully only exists in my pesky imagination.

My blathering aside...

I don't anticipate a stampeding googolplex of people to all jump for this opportunity at once, but to anyone who happens to meander by this page, the free icon requests are here, and they're currently OPEN!

I'll be posting each request in this little zone below here, and in any forthcoming journals as they trickle in. If you've got the gumption to snag an icon here, then comment in this journal or drop me a note! Until later, folks!

Caught the fever from and !

That's right, it's a meme, people! But not just any dumb questionnare, tell-us-about-yourself style journal, oh no, no, no! There's plenty of time to dispense with that trash when we all go blind and deaf. This time around, it's up to me to feature your art. Three of the pretties, to be precise (unless I can't make up my mind and get more. I can be that indecisive if I want). All you need to do is leave a comment with your say-so, and we can get this truck into gear!

_{(Pssssst! Some other dumb rule mandates that if you get featured, then you have to do a journal just like this'n, featuring me and any one who comments on your journal, but let's just sweep that little rule under here and pretend it never happened. K'? K'.}

~Now, let's kick off the main event and spread some art!

THE FEATURES!

~Let's start with the two folks who generously featured my pesky art! They're both artists of roughly the spectacular caliber (if not, then pardon my underestimation!), who you should be checking out this instant instead of reading this drivel. Go, hurry!
01)
ONE | TWO | THREE

02)
ONE | TWO | THREE

~Next up is someone who featured me in an unrelated meme, but deserves more love nonetheless!
03)
ONE | TWO | THREE

~Lastly, a certain someone whose talent is COMPLETELY underrepresented on this site. I mean, seriously, you guys! How can so many people miss such fine talent?
04)
ONE | TWO | THREE

~Now, on to your stuff! Who wants a piece of the action?

ONE | TWO | THREE

08) This could be yoooooou!

'Cause I am BACK!

Back again!
Back with a vengeance!
Back in the game!
Back on track!
Back in the ward!
Back at the drawing board!
Back on track again!
Back in black!
Back in a sable leather jacket!
Back in a two-hundred and fifty dollar pinstriped tuxedo!
Back in-

For the past three months or so, I've been compressed in a water cooler of schoolwork, family needs, motivational dearths, and downright horrifying etceteras! Responsibilities on responsibilities on responsibilities piled up higher than I could reach, which resulted in an unceremonious hiatus on virtually anything good, holy, and fun in my life that in retrospect, I prolly should have mentioned from the start.
Oops, silly me!

But who gives a crap about that crappy crap anyways? The important thing is that I'm hear and in the clear! Plus, I've also begun yet another semester of school, which already promises to be gentler(ish. Because life urn't one hundred percent perfect, am I right folks?) on me and my apparently fragile-as-an-elephant-made-of-china itinerary. So I think it's safe to assume that me and my ol' deathly pallid, reptilian self will be sticking around for a long time- until the next hiatus, that is. Seriously, those are starting to become an every day occurrence.
