cat_77: Old Kingdom Series (Lirael)
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 09:15 pm
This year, I have a goal for [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon: one image-like creation thing of awesome women per day. Let's see if I succeed?

My first entry is from the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix. If you have not read these, you totally need to. Lirael is a woman who thought her future was laid out for her, but discovers that is one thing that, despite her best attempts, is definitely not for her. She sees the past and deals in Death and rather wanted neither, but this is what she was given. She also kicks ass.

Feedback is always welcomed.

Also to note, in case anyone is interested, the preview is 100 x100, so it is icon size.

Two things make a post? Three if you count rambling explanation?

a) Wanted to use new icon of Lirael from the Old Kingdom Series because it is an awesome series that everyone should read.

b) I played around with the .harmonious app again on the iPad. I, er, actually lost the first try at this via stupidity, but recreated it again via stubbornness.

c) Art-Like Thing:

Title: Fading into Destiny
Fandom: Merlin
Spoilers: Myths, that Arthur wears a swishy cape
Media: Digital, .harmonious app for iPad
Disclaimer: I do not own this interpretation of the myths and am making no profit from this.

Feedback is always welcomed because, if past experiences are to go by, art and I do not always play well together.

So I managed to irk [livejournal.com profile] threnodyjones today which, to be fair, is not only fun but like totally a goal after all these years. *g*

TJ had the most awesome response to the irking that I simply must share:
I <strike>&hearts;</strike> you.

I told her I want it on a t-shirt. She made me an icon instead (which I kind of sort of left on my work email instead of forwarding home where I can actually post). Seriously? Awesome. Totally made my day after a morning of suck.

And in other news, moving commences next week and final paperwork registration crap commences tomorrow afternoon, as does a full week + a half day off of work. Who knows? I might even get some [livejournal.com profile] fringeminibang editing in along with the moving!

Edit: Ha! She emailed them to me!

So I ended up staying home after all. Called in and cited the roads, the weather, the fender bender, and the child who would be home alone during a blizzard. Surprisingly, I don't think this will be an issue.

The front steps and walkway are now shoveled and I am totally counting that as my exercise for the day. Also? Ow. Heavy snow is heavy.

Today's Sinfest demanded an icon, so here is my sad attempt at one:


Which reminded me I did not post the one I made for [personal profile] wolfie74 the other night that very few people might get but can totally be credited to [livejournal.com profile] johnnym77 (hint: inside joke about Eldest and Youngest and their obsession with a certain card game when they were younger)):


Now, I plan on taking a handful of ibuprofen and playing around online for a bit. I have not dug out the car yet, and that will likely take another 40+ minutes and another handful of drugs. Fun times!

[Apparently LJ is not allowing crossposts right now? "Invalid year listed" WTF, LJ?]

Anyway, made a new icon, think I rather like it. Also updated the Morgana with the cloak one since it kinda needed to be cleaned up.

So totally going off to bed now though, I promise. Really and truly. Yah-huh.

Gratuitous icon post is gratuitous. In other news, I made a new icon tonight. *g*

As a Christmas-type present yesterday, E took me to see Avatar. We did not have the boys with and ended up with the 3D version, which was quite cool. Seeing pictures of the 2D version afterward, I would rec the 3D version because it was done in such a way to add to the film instead of distract from it like it so easily could have.

Review and a couple of icons behind the cut to save space. )

Also, it is rather hard to post when your "p" key keeps sticking.

Done spamming people for today, I swear...

[livejournal.com profile] chayiana managed to get some truly awesome pics from the BAFTA event with Colin Morgan, Bradley James, and Katie McGrath. She's got some video linked at this post as well.

I rather fell in love with one pic of Katie McGrath she took and made a couple of icons out of it with [livejournal.com profile] chayiana's permission:

1. 2.

3. 4.

Go tell [livejournal.com profile] chayiana just how awesome her pics are!

Currently at 35,897 words on NaNo. Still have the rest of the day to catch up completely (current for yesterday, not quite at today's goal yet).



Oh, and because I find them amusing even if they probably make no sense to anyone else three icons I made for [info - community] camelot_fleet's party yesterday. The first one probably won't make sense without the Merlin/3rd Knight fic from a few weeks ago. *g*

1. 2. 3.

Played around with GIMP this morning and attempted to make a new Merlin icon. Had to shrink it to 90x90 due to the size constraints (was 3K too big for LJ *pout*) but I rather like the end result.

Ever see something and think you marked it for later and then discovered you didn't and remember your reasoning at the time was you didn't have a place for it anyway? Yeah.

Anyone know a good place to get screencaps of Merlin with the fog? Either him walking out of the fog in 2.01 or him in the woods in 2.03? (I'm trying to be general and not list heavy spoilers.) I kinda want to try to make an icon of it. Unless, of course, someone knows of some that already exists somewhere that is willing to share, 'cause that would be awesome as well.

In other news, it is apparently raining in on my co-worker's desk. Well, technically the aisle next to her desk, but she's getting splashed from time to time. Current solution? To move the plant closer. We're nothing if not practical and cheap.

Made a new Morgana icon. I'm maxed out over on LJ, but wanted a new one over here. *g*

[livejournal.com profile] cleothemuse made me a new Merlin icon! *g*

She also sprained her ankle this weekend, so send her extra love.

No real reason for this post other than to see if my new Merlin icon works. I was playing around with GIMP and think I finally figured out how to work the animation feature (sort of).

Been meaning to post these for a while, but finally have access to my server back as of today. Twelve Daniel icons, all from the SG-1 episode "Holiday" and all with the possibility of innuendo. Also, four extra icons with a hint of a dragon theme.

Made a couple of icons for the new show Fringe. Most were actually made last week, but I was having some issues with the program, so they needed to be tweeked a bit.

Yeah, I know, I should upgrade so I can actually use some of these...

Saw the new promo pic for this season of House and could not help but make a few icons. While I was at it, I made a couple of Captain Vega, the new girl in town on SGA (she was in "Search and Rescue" and will be in this week's "Whispers". No spoilers in her pics, all are from aired promos and the like and I tried to keep them simple.

Thanks!
