Welcome to my own little workshop filled with manga and anime folder icons I have thrown together. I use them to organize my folders, and hope they are just as useful for you. There are literally hundreds of them, and they can all be found at my DA site.

The only thing I ask if that if you really enjoy them and feel they deserve it, add them to your favorites, or simply let me know. This lets me know my efforts were useful.

As always, there's never a charge for these icons, and I'm happy to do commissions for free. Just post a list and I'll hit them as soon as humanly possible. I tremendously enjoy doing requests as I find new manga and anime that way, and fulfill other poster's needs at the same time.

That's okay. If you have a MAC, they use PNG files. If you use Windows, you'll need to convert PNG to ICO, which is very easy. Here, go to this page:

BTW, I had never heard of Girls und panzer, but it looks awesome. Is it anime or manga?

Cool. I'll see if Netflix has it.

I redesigned the first post a bit to make it more appealing to the eye.

And I did another set today.

Also let me know if you have art you want used. Otherwise, I'll dig some up.

Any art is fine by me! I've never seen custom folder icons before this so I'm pretty excited hehe. How did you make them? Did you use Photoshop, and were templates and action sets involved?

Akumano Ororon (new gallery, 3 icons)
Bitter Virgin (1 icon)
Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu again (new gallery, 2 icons)
Cage of Eden (new gallery, 4 icons)

They certainly are the most eyecatching ones (especially the middle). Yep, pretty much went through your entire gallery already lol.

Easy enough. Nice art!

The mini-tokyo one isn't working for some reason.

Good work.
Since you're distributing these in public, be sure to give credit to sp3ctrm5tr (or CodeNameBender) for using his folder template.

Will be looking forward to your future icons tho :)

I'm glad you enjoyed. I had fun making them. Some of the art is so cute.

I wonder, would anyone be interested in my old tv show icons I made?



I suppose I should keep this manga/anime focused though, ne?

And I am in dire need of good Umi no Misaki art - everything I found is low quality, black and white, or covered with writing. Anything would be appreciated. I find it hard to believe that with the four beautiful girls in that book there aren't any good pics. :D

^Perfect. I've been needing a folder for Supernatural.

Not sure if this helps, but if you want colored Umi no Misaki art and can't find any, you can always just mess with the Layer Blend Modes to give black and white images some color.

or I can do a few for you if you want, in return for those awesome icons you made me :)

Oh hey, anything you have would be great. But don't feel you have to. :D

I would like to learn how to mess with the layers like that though. Got a tutorial?

I searched again for Umi and came up dry. Can it be that I am the only UNM fan? *sigh*

There's a lot, but I haven't used any, so I don't know which to recommend. I guess any Layer Blend Mode tutorial will do?
What I did was pretty simple though. Just create a new layer on top of the black and white image layer. Fill the new layer with the color of your choice. Then change the new layer's Blend Mode in the dropdown to Screen, Exclusion etc. You can experiment all you want.

Before doing all these you can also Image> Adjustments > Levels to get rid of fuzziness and make the black and whites cleaner.
