Description
THIS ICON IS NOT FOR FREE USE! You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
...is pretty much our unofficial theme song, haha. |D
There's actually a bit of a story to this, if anyone's curious at all. c:
(I'm actually thinking of doing more pieces of art based on songs that I associate with him, just because)
You're welcome to skip this next bit, if you aren't into story time. xD
Before Dessy and I worked up the courage to be together as we are today, we were pretty good friends, I'd say. I'd tease him a lot and he'd make funny faces at me, but he'd never get annoyed, so we were close.
Dessy always liked listening to music on his phone, and sometimes I'd put my head on his chest and he'd stick an earbud in my ear. This song was one of the ones he'd play the most, so I'd tease him about his favourite song being written by Taylor Swift (when most of the other guys wouldn't admit to liking her music).
One day, when we were walking back home from school, Dessy and I were joking around as usual and for some unexplainable reason, we brought the topic to Taylor Swift and soon after started singing this song together. Now you have to remember, we weren't going out then, but I always remembered this day just because of the meaning of this song and the fact that we sang it together.
So yeah! It holds special meaning for me now. xD
(he told me a long, long time later that listening to this song so much was his way of dropping hints that he wanted me to be with him. ...he sucks at dropping hints) |D
/end tl; dr
--> ARTWISE, though..
I'm uber proud of this. I dunno how to even express how proud I am that I finally did a double icon, something I'll be ready to offer in my next art shop! I have to admit that I think they're pretty cute. ♥
It took me a while to get the animation right, since I was a bit afraid that they would exceed the size limit (which I failed to find anywhere... there still is one imposed, isn't there?). Buuuuut, it worked out just fine in the end. 8D
I don't really have too much else to say about this, it sort of speaks for itself.
That, and I can't possibly convey all that he means to me in words alone. Happy 1st anniversary, Dessy! ♥
You belong with me~ ♥ ♥ ♥

Normally, yes! c:
At the moment, though, all of my commissions are closed until I get both the first week of school and commission prices sorted out.
I normally write a journal to announce commission openings though, if you'd like to keep an eye out for those!
Thanks so much for the interest, though!

Thank you very kindly for the compliment! C:
I'm actually hoping to find the time to make some new icons, because these are fairly old and I want to try some new methods of pixelling. :b
And I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed telling it. xD;
We have lots of stories like that, actually. It's really all up to you to make them! And it's totally worth it, because you'll never forget it for the rest of your life. :b
I'm glad you think so too!

I'll never let you forget it! |D
And then I'll be like to our kiddies, "Never do -insert fail hint here- because it dun work! Trolololol~ 
^ (okay, not really |D)
I wouldn't spend it any other way~
Ohhh. I can't argue with that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yay!
Psh nothing wrong with a guy liking Taylor Swift songs.
Well you weren't exactly the best at dropping hints either!
Ohh gonna tell our kids about my fails?
Haha trolololing me now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I never said there was anything wrong with it! :b
It just seems unusual. Or maybe you guys all like Taylor Swift songs and just neglect to mention it? xD;
asdfghjkl; I wasn't dropping hints cause I thought it was pretty obviousss. >:U
Haha of course I will! 8D
...after I ask them how they like yogurt. ;D
Why yes. xDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha it's not thaaaat unusual. Hrmm maybe? I'm sure lots of guys like Taylor Swift songs but there're are lots that don't too. Like Kevin Wongerz maybe? You should know what songs he's into after all those links he sends you.
Well it wasn't obvious! To me, at least. Everybody else knew lol
Noooo! No yogurt!!! They will dislike it!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why'd you remind meeeee~ ;A;
See, you're just a noob. >:U
It was /that/ obvious to everyone else! Hah!
They will like it. -certain-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha what? He told you he's gonna be on here soon too!
Psh well you were noob too! Gawd!
Noooooo. Never!!!!

That'll be epic, won't it? :b
Nowai! I can't be a noob if I'm 99.9% win. ;D
Awww it's okay, even if you know you lost. -patpat-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha he'll be stalking us pretty much everywhere.
Well that was your 0.1% fail!
Nuh uh! Didn't lose yet! Our kids will totally have my yogurt-disliking genes! Hmph!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At our weddinggggg?!
:b
Hahahaha, so it's in your genes to dislike yogurt, huh? xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG NO!!! We will totally get a bouncer at our wedding.
Umm I dunno actually. My sister loves yogurt. My mom doesn't mind yogurt. My dad doesn't like dairy stuff. I love everything but yogurt. Hrmm.... Maybe I created the genes myself. And now those genes will be passed down and our kids will dislike yogurt!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohdaaaaang. That's some srsbsns right thur. :b
You can't create genes. xD You're weirdddd!
What happens if I pass down my yogurt-liking genes? Will they become neutral towards it? xDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yes! Very srs! Must not let any childhood stalkers come crash our wedding.
Ohh you can't create genes? Hrmmm.... oh wait, you get the different genes by mutations. So I guess my yogurt genes were mutated.
You're weird tooo!!
Well isn't it usually the dominant genes that get passed down? So obviously my yogurt-disliking genes will be passed down cause I'm moar dominant.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahaha but what if they wanna give you a hug/some wuv? xDD;
Waitso. You're a teenage mutant ninja turtle? |D
Excuse me, but I'm talking about reality here, not your dreams. I am most definitely more dominant in that regard. ;D

Aww, thanks Aki! <3
'Tis fun to do, I wunted to show you because I'm UBER PROUD of myself, lmao! |D
I should do moar double icons, yes I should.
...I'm gonna create a dA for Dessy so I can stick our icons together and things. But I dunno what to name it.
It makes me sad that dA doesn't delete inactive accounts, and the user "dessy" does not use their dA. :U

ASDFGHJKL.
How awesome, you are too good at this, Inkeh!
When you open your art shop I might be buying tons of pixel stuff from you.
(Btw, how much are you pricing these at? xD)
What a very awkward wayfor your boyfriend to show hints. lD
I wish I could have your pixel skillz. o3o -grabby hands-
Hee, happy 1st anniversary to you guys! 8DD
And you should totally go and do more pieces about your songs, I can't wait to see what you'll do, your art style is PRO. 8DD

LKJHGFDSA.
Haha, whatever skill I have comes from being on the computer far, far too much. |D
But thank you, Tay! <3
I actually just posted an art pricing thread about these, though I'm thinking probably around 1-2mil each? I priced them lower before, but got swamped way too quickly, so I think I needed to raise the price. :U
Ahahaha, he fails so hard that way. xDD
You can, you just gotta practice! ;o
It usually takes me 2-3 hours to do one icon, though, with all the animation and everything. |D Not too bad, really, since I'm slowwww~
Thank you! 8D
It was actually almost two weeks ago, but I didn't get around to shouting that out on dA yet. |D
You're too kinddddddd ffff-
-melts in your kindness-
I think I should totally do more pieces about all my friends, first! xD It's long overdue, the umbrella one I'm so proud of is so oldddddd! ;A;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lD
You are very welcome, inkeh 8 8DD
I seriously think you should price them at 750k-2 Mil, more if they're harder to do, haha. xD 500k seems a bit too cheap. o3o You could, however, offer bulk discounts? As in, for every five they order they get...5k off? lD That's a really pathetic discount, to be honest, I think that would be pointless then. lD Maybe 10k off? lD Or just don't put a discount, it'll make you earn more money.
2-3 hours? 
Oh, haha. lD THEN BELATED 1ST ANNIVERSARY!
I am just telling the truth, my friend.
You should, then! 8DD Either way they'll still turn out to be awesome indeed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what I thought too. x:
I'll probably go halfway with what you said, at 750k. But if it becomes apparent that there are way too many pixel orders, I'll just bump up the price. o-o;
(the other thing is that people tend to order multiple pixels at once, so yeaaaah. It adds up haha)
What I did before was for every four icons you pay for, you get a fifth free. :b
(plus, five icons will cover the basic five pets, haha)
I'm just sloooooooow. :c
Haha thank youuuu~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
750k is an awesome price. c: Bump up the price, but slowly, and not to much a jump or else people would complain. xD
That seems like a fair deal, so you should stick with that. xD
Practice my friend. Practiceeee.
You're welcome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about doing. |D
Hnnnnghhh how do you practice speed, though? :c
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Time yourself, and then just try and beat that time, even if it's just a second faster.
