- DCAU Wonder Woman
- DCAU Wonder Woman/Batman

Basically, I need to update/redo my icon list. I have 100 here (I had 280 over at LJ) but that's really more than enough, I just need to cull them down to the ones that I really like and which I think are worth keeping.

Oh, and maybe make a few more of my own. I haven't made icons in ages.

I'm also in a mad subscription rush right now, which I may regret in a day or so when I look at how fast my reading page starts moving. There was a time on LJ when I simply couldn't keep up with the number of posts that appeared on my Flist, and ElJay sucked away a great deal of time commenting and conversing. Although that also was valuable in the sense of 'making friends'.

tl;dr: need more icons, ambivalent about DW becoming more busy.

I won the [profile] sgwoment_itest Week 59 Challenge: Sets with this set of icons:


And I was thinking of how I started making icons, and what my early icons were like and how I developed into icon-making - mostly by looking up tutorials that showed me how to do the things I like, and then finding a program and experimenting with it.

If I spot a style or a design that I like, I usually try to work out how they did it, or go looking for a tutorial that shows how I could.

So I'm a little curious about how others have learned to make icons. And whether they also look at other icons and think "Hm, I wonder how they put that together."

And yes, [livejournal.com profile] jeyla4ever, I was very bad and didn't finish my 10 John/Teyla kiss icons. Sorry about that...

So, apparently I haven't posted one of these for over a year!

Mostly created for the [livejournal.com profile] sgwomen_itest and the [livejournal.com profile] sga_icontest, they're primarily of Teyla and the other women of Stargate, although there are 6 Ronon, 4 Rodney, 2 John, 2 Radek, and a couple of team icons in there, too!

1 - Graphics were provided by the challenges.
2 - Take and use, only please credit me!

Please note: #1-4 and 27 were created for specific people, so they're not available for use.

Total Icon Count: 64

Teasers:

64 Icons Here! )

Right. So...uh... I won the [livejournal.com profile] sga_icontest Challenge 251.

As in, I came 1st, 2nd (tied), and 3rd, and won Most Creative, and got Critics Choice!

This is my face right now ----> o_O

I think I need to tag this post with something like "for when shit gets me down".

[livejournal.com profile] sga_icontest | No Son Of Mine | midday November 30th, NZ time

I was hoping for the shot of Teyla on the ledge in the final denouement, but no cigar. On the plus side, there are clear, sharp caps of Teyla in the challenge, which is a rarity in icontests.

It never ceases to astonish me that, for a woman as gorgeous as Rachel Luttrell, the promo shots of Teyla tend to be extremely ordinary or very blurred, and the caps are rarely much better.

And speaking of icontest promotions: [livejournal.com profile] sgwomen_itest is voting on Challenges 1 & 2 (Text and Pictures), and Challenge 3 (Whispers).

Sadly, there aren't too many entries. It's been a quiet last few icontests for them.

Finally, [livejournal.com profile] sgmen_itest is running Week 7 Challenges: Cameron Mitchell, Text, and Ghost In The Machine

Something to do if you're not in the mood for my rantage.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five 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.


[livejournal.com profile] mahoni picked out these icons:

Well, they voted me off the island this week over at [livejournal.com profile] lantis_lims. Not entirely unexpected, although I was hoping to hold on until at least Round 10.

I guess I should be grateful I lasted this long.
