So, right. I'm a Permanent Account now.
This means that I have 100 Icon slots, of which I have but 24 filled.

Unfortunately, when I had to reformat Unicron's harddrive, I lost my copy of Photoshop, a thing which (1) I haven't been able to replace, and (2) I was never really good with to begin.

So, to cut to the chase: this is a call for any and all userpic suggestions and/or donations, including but not limited to new mood-type Keywords I can use, URLs of free-floating icons I might like, hand-crafted icons of your own design, or even suggestions on getting rid of certain icons I already have or what I should use as my Default icon.

I'm not expecting much to come of this post, but anything at all would at least help.

I could always draw some more silly fanart for you to crop and turn into icons. :3

Um-um-um you never talk about MxO (did you know the HelRazers now have a website and a forum, thanks to D?), but I could screencap Distole if you ever get on again and you can have an MxO icon the way Vice and I do.

Perhaps a pic of you in those pants, reading "It takes a guy really comfortable in his sexuality..."

And of course, you need but give me some characters/actors/whathaveyou that you like, and I'll be more than happy to make you some homemade Suri!iconses. I love getting practice making them, and I don't make ones for myself very often.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. I would love more fanart; but I can't even put text on things anymore. *tear*

A Distole, and/or Rapture216, icon would rock! HelRazers have a site? I'd play it more, save everytime I'm on I'm a lone gunman...

And if you make TehPants Icon, I'll use it. Well, I'll add it, at least.

As far as characters/actors/whatnot, I can't really think of any off the top of my head -- excepting that it occured to me to have a 'Chixor' icon, preferably something with one Ms Bledel, with 'chixor' written on it....

If you need more suggestions, I'm sure I can come up with some...

[surichan.livejournal.com]

I haven't been on MxO lately because of the stupid theft thing, but D's throwing a faction-wide party tomorrow night at 7, at the Jacob's Ladder. Everybody should be there.

As for Rapture, I'll get on as Temnosiniy more, I promise. :3 I've actually cooked up a pretty good backstory for Ms. Durmanov...

Oooh, Alexis Bledel. Hm. And you want "chix0r" written on it?? c__c How pretty am I allowed to make this?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

:p
It's going to be my Chixor icon.
Very pretty. (Though, not too over-done, yes.)

[surichan.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to ask you to define "overdone".

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Uhm, I donno, too 'crowded.' I would try making a comparisson using your icons, but all of them look fine. So, yeah. Do as thou wilt, and such.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Oh, uhm, and no with the blinkies. Not that you have (m)any. But I don't like blinkies.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

::laughs:: I know you don't. You didn't even have to say anything. I will do what I can.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

:p
I would have figured, but y'know.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Okay, how's this for starters:





Too pretty?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. Too pretty? Hardly. A very nice start. It looks a bit fuzzy though, which is saddness.

I'm assuming you're using this picture:

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Yes, that very one. :3 Glad you like.

Fuzzy? I can try to fix that...



Better?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Yesh. Pretty Miss Bledel.
The fuzzy may be on my end a bit -- I'm on my laptop. The second *does* look clearer, though.

Are we calling this a finished product, then? Or are you still playing? You're free to, if you'd like.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Well, did you want anything to be different about it? Or want me to use a different picture?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Try as I might (and I have tried), I can't find a better or comprable picture to use. Though, I think I might be curious to see something in pink (with a different style, not just a recolor), if you were interested in playing more. I do likie this one, though.  ^_^

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Pink, seriously? I figured blue was a sure bet, to go with the girl's eyes. :3

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

A very good point, actually.
I like this icon.
I think I had had something more to say.
Hmmmn...

[surichan.livejournal.com]

::laughs:: Well, I'm glad you like it. Hope you get some good use out of it.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

There were a couple posts in my Archives that I thought could use it, but I haven't re-found them yet. And I'm sure I'll need it sometime in the future.
:p

[surichan.livejournal.com]

^__^ I'm rather proud of it, myself. I think it's one of the prettier icons I've ever made - and I employed some tricks in its creation I've never used in an icon before. I'm glad you like it.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, yes. It is much the pretties.
Which was kinda the whole point.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

I have just realized that I'm the only person to comment on this entry. o___o Aside from you, of course, but it's your journal.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

-laughs- Sad but true.
There's a very good reason I didn't expect much from this thread.
I guess people either (a) don't have opinions, (b) don't care to share their opinions with me, or (c) some yet-to-be determined third possibility.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Here (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/JackOfAllGeeks/Distole.jpg) is a screencap I caught of Distole.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Ten-four. Will try to do something with that. Any quotes or anything you want me to use?

(By the by, did you derive the boy's name from the heart's resting phase?)

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Well, I was gonna see if Pyraci could make me a forum signature with "Only As Real As You Want It To Be" on it, but I donno if that'll fit here, in a 100x100 icon.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes, see if he'll do that for you - D loves arting in all its forms, especially graphic design, these days. He's working on one for Geth too.

As for a 100x100...I'll see what I can do.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Yes, though for the ForumSig, I hope to get a better pic, with less HUD. I didn't think to close those windows for that pic there...

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Most of the screencaps I get have HUD. I've never thought to close the windows either...but don't worry, D can employ his magic powers and make you a great sig regardless of how much HUD is in the way.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Oh, and yes, 'distole' as in the relaxation of the heart-muscles. I haven't put *quite* as much thought into his name as I have into Rapture216's (admittedly not much in either, character-wise), but I'm sure I can get something clever if I sit and think about it.

[surichan.livejournal.com]

I quite like his name.

I've managed to work out backstories for LeMonde, Temnosiniy, and Geth now, and I'm pretty happy with all three of them. If only they could go somewhere other than the Matrix...

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

^_^ I quite like it, too, and was glad it hadn't been taken; I hate adding numbers to the end of names.

I'm curious... might you post those back-stories, perhapse on your jounal?

[surichan.livejournal.com]

I didn't think there was any point in it, really - but if you'd like to read them, I of course will.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

I *love* reading amature writing -- *love* it. I haven't written much of anything lately, myself; my latest Snippet is a post in a Forum-based RPG I'm running in, and before that there was said RPG's Character's background, but...

[surichan.livejournal.com]

Well, okay then. I'll whip something together soon. :3
