Icon meme [Sep. 14th, 2009|01:51 pm]

THE RULES
01; Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
02; Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

Stolen from [info]givemeyourwings, so here are her picks :)

Includes one of my new slew of icons )

In other news, today's edition of the second-largest national broadsheet published an article of mine, with this photo. Now to see if it has any effect on business ;)

2 memes for the price of 1 [Jan. 18th, 2007|09:11 pm]
[Tags|, ]
[Mood | bored]

From [info]artaxastra:

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon.

(I love this one for the genderplay. That's quite often how I feel.)

And from [info]penknife:

Ask My Fandom Opinion

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Icon meme [Sep. 6th, 2006|07:50 pm]
[Tags|, ]
[Mood | blah]

Stolen from [info]shoiryu:

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

I may have too many icons )

[Mood | silly]

1) Comment and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and make you an icon.
2) You have absolutely no say in what I make.
3) You can pick between having a normal icon or an animated icon.
4) If you do partake in it, please put this in your LJ so I can do the same for you.
<- optional!

Yeah. I need stuff to do at the lakeside :) Mind you, animations might end up silly...

Just letting people know that I finally gave AffordableHOST a well-deserved kick and switched to AxisHOST. I'm hoping for all DNS changing to go seamlessly, but just in case, mail may get a wee bit lost - comments here will certainly be read :)

Also, GIP. Spike William and Herbert. Don't ask.

[Mood | procrastinating]

Nothing like having things to do to get me iconning. Meep. But I got great Underworld screencaps off [info]ariane179254 and it was a shame not to use them. If you like anything, feel free to comment and grab - I'll probably be using all of them, too. These and other icons are also available at Ikonografia.

Vampires, with pictures [Dec. 3rd, 2005|06:17 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Mood | happy]

Oooh. Roma Theatre put up a gallery of actual photos from the show! Icon-able, and more to the point, suitable for ordering miniatures from [info]astarise (yes, luv, plural; Female Parental Unit wants one too).

Therefore, I have three new vampy icons, including a new default (though that one's not from the show). The Krolock ones need a bit of work, I know; my iconning inspiration is lacking lately.



The text on the first Krolock one is "Engel oder ein Teufel sein" - "to be (an) angel or a devil", a snippet of my favourite part of Unstillbare Gier: I want to be angel or to be a devil, and I'm nothing but a creature that always wants what it can never get. The second is from Totale Finsternis, and since I couldn't decide between the various language versions, I put in all three ^^;

I know, I'm awfully spammy today. To my defense, I've got a writing-preventing migraine and The Half-Blood Prince doesn't hold my attention.

Now, icons. The Crow to boot. Thanks to [info]darci_marie for the caps.

Just because I rewatched Van Helsing. Caps from [info]spitefairy, [info]deadbetty, [info]quebelly.

Now that's one crossover I could write. But first, someone mentioned Buffy+Harry+Anakin >:)

I did mention I have 50 icons now? :D

Movie watch: Y Tu Mama Tambien. Weird one. I'm not sure I liked it.

And back to From Dusk Till Dawn, Sex Machine is growing on me. Eep?

Icons - art photography [Jun. 23rd, 2005|07:58 pm]

[Mood | creative]

A random google search brought me to the Young Japanese Photographers site, which contains catalogues from the first nine exhibitions. Some of the photos just struck me as almost ready-made icons - all I did was crop, resize and add 1-pixel frames. Usual policy of comment and credit, but you'd better credit the source site. The file names contain the photographers' names.


11 black-and-white photo icons )

(Also, dead Beth day. Studying.)

My androgynous icons? Are from ASexual Revolution, a photoshoot by Steven Meisel for W. Some higher-res scans are available on the Boyd Holbrook Fansite. And I need to make more icons.

Coding makes me calmer. So I spent a few hours coding up my icon site. The layout's temporary - I'm all out of inspiration right now. All my icons are there, except personal ones.

And I'll be gone from tomorrow afternoon to Sunday evening. At least I don't have to shop - 90% of my wardrobe is perfectly acceptable for a funeral.

An animatronic stag's head that can speak in your voice (via wireless microphone and remote control) and sing "Rawhide" when his motion sensor is triggered. Note to self: put him in fiction. ANY fiction.

How to make your I-Book grow fur, on the other hand, is a neat customization idea for just about any electronics. I'm thinking of my palmtop and velvet >:)

Remote-controlled vacuum cleaner OMG WANT.

Perfume-spraying watch, for the girl on the run. This could come in handy for those obscure oriental poisons...

A table with a river on it. There's a story here, too.

(Found on Shiny Shiny)

Also, by request, two new Constantine icons, of the androgynous Gabriel. Like? Comment and credit :

After watching Constantine, I'm re-reading Hellblazer and Lucifer is next on my list. Ergo, iconses. I'm particularly proud of the "I'm going to EAT your BRAIN" one :D

More Phantom iconage, thanks to screencaps from [info]piterdevries (via [info]redrogue :)

9 icons, 4 of which are *gasp* animated! )

And yes, more to come. I'm still working out the proper way to do The Kiss in icon version. If you want any, just comment & credit (in keywords, icon comments, userinfo, wherever) :)

If I see a very visual movie that at the same time is rife with quotable songs, the results are predictable. Source images from those were mostly lifted from GerardButler.Net and PhantomPhan.Net. The quotable quotes are, of course, from the musical itself. Take, comment, credit please?

Because [info]zap_rousdar recently saw Equilibrium, and [info]bandonbanshee egged me on. If you haven't seen Equilibrium, what are you waiting for? O.O

All brushes and borders are my own. #6 was actually my first-ever LJ icon for this journal - you can see it's much simpler than my current work :)

9 icons )

Rules as usual: commenting when taking would be nice, please credit me as maker in keywords, icon comments or your userinfo.

Yeah, 12 months of paid time. I'm too braindead to wrestle LJ into submission as far as the layout is concerned, so just icons so far.

Studying doesn't lend itself to ficcing much, but icons take far less time. I've made more, but I'm still wavering over which to choose to keep for myself... As usual, take, credit, tell me if you'd like one of those modified for you.

Under the cut: 4 from X/1999, 2 from Nightwing #94, 5 random - Angelina Jolie, Troy, Underworld, Peter Pan, Sandman.

All hope abandon... )

First, Rising Stars - I believe I've fangirled about JMS's comic series already. The character concepts are absolutely fascinating.

Quick iconage [May. 13th, 2004|09:01 am]

Some of my earlier calligraphy efforts, plus a hasty Troy icon, because for all that I'm lukewarm towards Orlando Bloom, this image caught my attention. #1's MINE, the rest free for the taking; if anyone wants the initials on #2 changed, tell me - I put BW on it because I was planning to use it for myself, but I like the "wordflow" one better.

Hey, anyone got any icon requests? I kinda like doing this. And yes, I can do fancier stuff - I just wanted some simple icons this time...

For the past few days instead of writing, I did graphics :) Here's the result - LJ icons, and mostly free for the taking. Just comment and credit in keywords or userinfo if you fancy one of those.
