Articles: Icon variations
Even though the standard icons have dimensions of 100x100px, you are still able to do lots of stuff with them. Because many aren't able do overcome their standard icons, I will give you now some hints to make your icons more multifaceted.01. Motive: Many are always using motives, that are aligned very frontal and fill up most of the picture. Just try to vary the picture or change the alignment. As example I made a few icon bases out of THIS screenshot of the BLOOD+ opening.

02. Amplitude: The picture doesn't have to use up all of the 100x100px. It's often helpful to set up the erazor with a brush, to reduce the volume of the picture. The brushes are not necessarily supposed to be icon brushes. The background looks best most of the part if it's white (#FFFFFF).
03. Resources: In the meantime there are many websites, wich provide icon resources (e.g. brushes, textures). The following links are icon related only:
- Grieved-Lightness (textures, tutorials)
- 77Words (brushes, textures)
- Aino Hanako (brushes)
- Ewanism (brushes, textures)
- Ianthinae (textures)
- Tihana (textures, tutorials)
- Zemie (textures)
