Hey all, I'm SO bored. I really want to art, but I'm on dads computer and the screen colours are all wonky and nothing I make looks good at all because of it. Also I want to listen to Britney's music while I do it, which... apparently I like now?
Now, I have this awesome Fray/Buffy wall I made last week to share. I wish it had a tad more contrast, but other than that I really like it.
For all of you out there who have yet to experience Fray, go out and buy it right now. I guarantee it'll be the best comic you ever read.
Well, actually I don't. I haven't really read many comics before (basically just all the ones Joss's written) but so far it's my favourite series. |

Okay, so I've gone from a simple basic lj account on Monday to a paid account with 100 icon slots on Thursday.
:o oh my god, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) harbourlight bought me 70 more icon slots! How awesome! What a broad, eh? Not only that, but she's been helping me with my moodtheme. Oh, and can I just say... dayum! Why are there so many moods? I don't know about you, but I know that personally I only experience about 5 of them.
Speaking of which, can anybody think of a good scene that best represents 'okay'? For 'blah' I've got Hermes on Futurama with a brainslug attached to his head. Come on, that scene practically screams blah. Now, I need your help looking for a scene that practically screams 'okay'.
Check out this awesome new The Inside icon I made :D

In other news, I put my pants in the wash with all of my regular pocket-ey stuff in them. That means my notebook will be mashed to shreds, my mobile is gonna be broken, the pen will leak ink onto all of my very very white clothes for work and... my keys will be wet. Luckily the most expensive thing I usually keep in my pockets wasn't in them: my mp3. It's pretty tragic, especially because we can't stop the machine from running to take the phone and notebook out to see if they're alright, because it's not designed to open once it has started :(
UPDATE: Through much careful excavation I managed to retrieve my notebook. The pen didn't leak, surprise surprise. I actually left my keys in my other pants :P
Oh, and my mobile is comepletely sopping but we realised that so was my brothers when he put it through the wash and several months later it's perfectly fine. All in all... no physical harm whatsoever, but a little emotional trauma. Nothing a little Phun won't fix :)
***
In some more other news... I'm pimping my new paid account with new icons! Yay! So I made a list of 30 dot points and I am now going to make the best icon I can of my absolute favourite scene from all of the shows :)
The list is in no particular order and if you see a -, that means I haven't made the best icon ever of that fandom yet :)
( cut for my official fandoms list )
I still haven't gotten around to designing a (new) layout for any of the ljs I said I was going to... instead I've been doing something much more productive: making a moodtheme. I'm not being fandomspecific, I'm just going to find the absolute best scene ever to represent each emotion. Of course, I'm only doing shows I've seen, so basically Alias is the only show I'm not doing :P
Can you try and help me with the moods I haven't done yet? Oh, and by the way, this is something I'm gonna ask regularly cos there are many many moods one can have, so keep your brains on mood-alert!
( It's a work in progress, but cut to see list of what moodthemes I'm working on so far (which... sorry, is in Joshcode) )
But more importantly, here are the five I've I've actually made so far!

awake -

I made this cos I needed a new wallpaper and Kristen rocks. I'm really happy with the colouring. I'm not too sure how I feel about the background textures, or the red blob... I think as a whole everything is all just a little too simple.

Change of plans from the last post. I didn't see that bl_icons existed. I will be keeping bostonlegalicon, although I have now created bl_icontest and bl_lims in anticipation of the Boston Legal craze I foresee taking over lj. :P
Now, I'd better start designing layouts! *scurries off* |

Hey, check this out! I won 3rd place out of about 100 entries, a lot of which I preferred over mine! That's awesome :D
I'm mostly excited, cos I don't really like my entries anymore. I've developed an awesome new iconing style that crushes all of my old ones. :D
See?

In other news... go watch Boston Legal! It rules so much and I need other people to obsess with! I made bostonlegalicon because I can't find any boston legal icon communities on livejournal, how sad is that. And I want it to be an equally as accepted fandom as Supernatural or Lost. It really deserves to be, it's amazing.
Okay, and yes, for now the layout sucks, but I'll hopefully try and get something better up by tonight. :) |

Yep, it's 35 Doctor Who icons, that's for sure. A lot of them are old, so I don't like them. Some are old and I do like them, and some are new and I like them. So basically there's a mix of bad and good. I don't expect you to like all of them, but hopefully you like a couple :)

Hey guys, I need your help. I want to submit an awesome icon to iconplay's latest challenge but I'm not feeling particularly fandomish at the moment. So... I want you to spam me up with pictures.

On another, rather contradictory note, check out this fairly awesome remake of a horrible horrible icon :D
I was going to submit it to iconplay, because technically I didn't use any textures or brushes, but I was definitely pushing the boundaries :P
But of course, posting it here means that I can't post it there so... spam me :)
***
Three new BSG icons, because I love season four.
  
This style seems very generic, everyone seems to be doing it these days, but I really like the way it looks. I think I just need to mesh it in with my own style. |

Hey all. Just thought I'd pimp jossverse_lims, because I'm really excited about it.
jossverse_lims jossverse_lims jossverse_lims
I'm really excited about it because this is my first lims ever and I can't wait to see how it plays out. I'm a bit disappointed cos I posted three rather sucky icons this week, but I've got a crazy headache and the deadline draws near. Say, you know what you should do? Join. There's still a couple of days left to join and enter and I want someone I know to compete against and I don't know anyone there. :(
Oh, and it's so awesome to think that in just a few months Dollhouse is going to be considered 'Jossverse' :D

And in TV news...
-Boston Legal is rocking my socks. I'm only mid-season 2, but I love it so much more than everything else ever. Seriously, go watch it. When I first saw it I thought it looked terrible, but it is so amazing!
-Didn't love the latest himym, but I did love Robin/Barney. I've been wanting Rarney (Bobin?) since season 1!
-ANTM cycle 10 is killing me. In a totally awesome way. I am so obsessed with it, it's not funny. I need more!
-Samantha Who continues to grow on me... I'm not sure how I feel about that...
-I hate to admit it, but BSG is definitely getting good again. I thought it'd be all downhill since mid-season-two, but they're definitely picking up their game. That final scene with the sexy Indian cylon gave me chills. Awesome :D
-If Dirt toned down their swearing and I had HQ avis, I'd be totally obsessing. But they won't and I don't, so I'm not.
-I checked out the Ellen Page and Tina Fey episodes of SNL. It's a very American show which scared me at first. Scared me a lot. But I noticed that their comedy is very hit or miss, and I've never really had a situation when that term could be appropriately used, but it definitely works for SNL. Either their jokes are amazing and they kill you with their hilarity, or... they're not. They're boring and terrible, instead. It's interesting because I found that they had very little inbetween. |

I was bored so I composited all of the screencaps from the latest antm into this...
 
I honestly can't decide whether I prefer it with or without the colours. The black and white seems like such a boring way out for if you don't like the colouring. Although on the other hand... I don't like the colouring :P
I was thinking I could do something similar to the colouring on this icon, but it's fun to keep things fresh... isn't it?

Oh my god! Amy Acker is gonna be on Dollhouse! *dies*
Other than Amy and Eliza, I'm not thrilled about the casting. Tamoh is probably the most boring person on BSG. A show not typically known for it's hilarity. So... I hope Joss knows what he's doing... at the very least Tim does. Tim always does :D |

Hey, check it out. I just made this...
I love it. It contains the three things I'm crazy about at the moment.
1. Supernatural (the spooky black eyes)
2. How I Met Your Mother (ALY!!)
3. This awesome green/purple weirdo colouring I've been doing on the last couple of my icons.

I also made this
But it's a lot more boring because all I did was resize and contrast and also it doesn't have Aly in it. :P |

Hey all. Remember last post when I was talking about my broken rut? Well here's even some proof that it's broken! :D
 
I made these as a request and I love it soo much. Going from such a colourless overcontrasted photo to this... it blows my mind. I'm not sure whether I prefer with text or without text, though. |

| not for long though |
[Apr. 15th, 2008|11:55 pm] |
Good news guys, I've broken my rut!
After submitting that horrible horrible icon to icon_crack I submitted an absolutely incredible icon to firefly_rumble . (and what's the bet they won't vote for it :P)
"Wow, how the heck did that happen" you ask. Well, the answer is simple. As far as I'm concerned, the trick to true iconing is to not get stuck in a rut. I had been doing a very very boring routine for every icon I made and that led to boring icons. I broke that, tried something new and different and it turned out amazingly. Seriously guys, go check out the submissions at the next firefly_rumble voting thing.

Work at Bakers Delight is continuously awesome, but my legs are getting really sore. :P

I'm up to the latest episode of Supernatural 'Jus In Bello'. I'm really very impressed with this season. Very very impressed. I just wanna see more Ruby :D
Also I'd like to see a couple of their previously proposed ideas get expanded on. For example the concept that Sam can control people and stuff. We saw whatsherface get the power to do that last season... why isn't he even trying to get abilies? Also, why aren't there a million more demons than ever before? Did opening the door to hell do nothing?
I think that the writers are focusing a little too much on Dean's one year to live and not enough on their other storylines.

Wanna submit a couple of icons to just__buffy ? The winners won't be revealed until they get some more submissions and I really liked my icons so I feel like I've got a good chance. :P

I promised to always post some form of art with every post I make here and I've been laying off on the wallpapering and iconing lately, so here's a texture I made! :D
I'm really happy with it. it was easy to make and it makes pictures look better when set to soft light. Exactly what a texture should be :) |
