icon meme
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
Vel chose:
Concept art by Adi Granov; I took it into paint.net and went crazy with the lighting. I needed a good Iron Man icon from the comics, and I like that we get both the suit and Tony's face in the same shot.
Hahaha. Remember the first time Jon Stewart hosted the Oscars? The opening skit ends with him waking up in bed next to George Clooney. And thus an RPS pairing was born. This is one of the very few fandoms I've actually hauled myself off my butt and written anything for. (You can see the opening over here, if you so desire.)
I needed a "thank you for the feedback" icon; after a number of false starts, I settled on baby pandas as a suitable template. The caption reads "Feedback: The only thing better is a barrel of pandas", but try as I might I couldn't get the text to look good at a small size. /snit
I play a great deal of World of Warcraft (WoW and LJ are basically my two evening occupations). This is a screenshot of a rare spell effect from Torment of the Worgen, in which my large gray cow-lady turned into a toothy werewolf for a few seconds. I thought it was pretty sweet.
This might be my favorite icon ever. :D What can I say? Dave Grohl is awesome, this picture is awesome, and I use it to express awesomeness. FUCK YEAH!
One of my first attempts at playing around with layering. Also a good excuse to have a RDJ icon. That's another piece of art by Adi Granov in the background.
Item The Second: I also spent some time today developing icons from a great fancomic that came out last week. It's "Red Zone: Coda" byjwaneeta , and if by some chance you have not seen it, I urge you to go check it out.
Here's a few of the icons I was able to whip up.
Item The Third: Check my new icon. I love my cow-lady and her big effing guns into little bitty pieces.
And Finally, Item The Fourth: I have worked ridiculously hard (10 hour days, pushing back or skipping lunch) since mid-March to get one particular project through at work. Defying all odds, we have managed to recruit and randomize MORE people than we needed. This morning, there was rejoicing; we had our last person, we would have another week and a half of hell, then a break. A break! Hallelujah!
This afternoon, we get an email. Our other project? The one populated solely by overseers with an attitude problem? The one that makes everyone in the office hiss in rage at the phone during our conference calls? The one we were assured would be on hold "until at least the end of May"?
Is back on. Right now.
I WILL be taking a vacation (hopefully the last week in April), but I am finding more and more evidence that I have offended some deity who's fond of practical jokes. Eff me.
