ninjahijinx is holding a free icon day today and tomorrow.
Drop by the blog and request an icon. No payment is required. However, there is a tip jar out and if you donate at least a dollar, you're guaranteed to get an icon even if oodles and oodles of people ask for them. Otherwise the artist reserves the right to go "ZOMG what have I
done?!" and quit early, in case of deluge. On the third hoof, if at least $100 in donations comes in, all requested icons will be drawn ... eventually. I've already put in my request.
The sample icons look cool. This artist is good at drawing animals and anthropomorphic characters, but is willing to do other things. Go take a look!
