And I'm leaving on a GIP-plane!

Well dudes, I downloaded some totally sweet Xena caps, and I decided that, today, in my utter boredom, I'd make some icons.

I ended up making a LOT. Well, for me anyway.



Less of the Xena, more of the Joxer. Anyhew, let me tell you the story of this one:

Pretty, non? Well, that started out like this:

And then I started playing with brushes and mixing effects, and on the way I hit this: which I kinda liked, and this: which I REALLY liked. But it's too indistinct. You can't really tell what's going on. So I went in with a fine pencil tool in Adobe Photoshop and coloured it in, bringing out the darks and the lights till I got the artsy funny grin icon above. Basically, it's rotoscoping fanart in an icon. I think it looks pretty awesome, even if it's not the most flattering shot of Ted Raimi ever. Moving on.



Yeah, I couldn't decide which font to go with in the 'hero' icon. I think the roundish one works best. But I thought I'd put them all up for you to take whichever one you liked.

I know there aren't heaps of people out there that are enamoured of Xena, it being very cult and obscure, but hey - I thought I'd share.

I'm going to take the "stupid cookies" one. That phrase completely cracks me up. XD

Well, in my brain, it was originally 'retard' cookies, but it's not so PC. So I dropped it like a hot potato.

I'm Xena fic angsting. Wow. I haven't done THAT in years! LOL!

Oh, fic... I wish I could lose my stupid writers block while I'm at home (not that I'm especially inspired at work, either, but I really can't get away with it even if I were) so I could at least finish one of the ones in-progress... Dagnabbit!

Well, with fics, usually there's something in the fic causing the block. Something that's stopping you. Lack of inspiration - well, there's nothing can be done about that! :(

I'd love to see more fic from you!

I am so not used to changing my icon 'cause it's been so long since I've had most of 'em. So now I'm making a gratuitous other post so I can use the Stupid Cookies one. (I like "stupid cookies" better than "retard cookies" anyway)

Stupid cookies is cuter. And I'm so touched you decided to use the icon! Whee!
