Icon, Youcon

[rj_anderson]

The rumours of my delinquency when it came to giving anyone on my friendlist anything from their Christmas wish list in time for Christmas are, unfortunately, true. However, I do recall that a considerable number of you mentioned that you would like icons, and that is something that even in my current state of health*, I can actually do with some degree of enjoyment and success.

So, I am taking icon requests. If you'd like one, please leave a comment, and tell me:

a) what kind of icon you'd like (i.e. a particular fandom, character, pairing, subject, etc.) .
Feel free to put up multiple ideas for me to choose from, if you'd like a bit of a surprise; if you'd really like to be surprised, just leave it at "I'd like an icon," and I'll pick an interest off your User Info.

b) any other specifics you'd like me to incorporate
A favorite screencap, a particular line or snippet of text, a colour you'd like me to use (or avoid) -- if you don't supply any of these I'll just use my own discretion.

Go to it!

Happy Syd and Jack Icon

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

Finding a clear screencap of Syd and Jack together which could be considered "happy", without one or both of them being in some ridiculous disguise, proved somewhat difficult. However, I did come up with a screencap where Jack, at least, was smiling a little.

I couldn't decide which colour scheme looked better, so I'll leave the choice up to you:

...

The text is the first half of a Russian proverb (the second half of which is "Clever mother, clever son"). But if you have a better idea for text, I'd be perfectly happy to put something else on instead.

Okay, so upon forty-eight hours reflection those both pretty much sucked, I admit. If I come across a better screencap maybe I'll try again some other time. Sorry.

Yipe! I just now saw this, and no, I love it! Don't you change it a bit. Forgive me for not seeing it and doing serious squeeing far earlier. :D

Really?

*is surprised and pleased*

Oh, okay, then!

*eyes icons dubiously*

You sure? I'm thinking the background might benefit from a bit more smoothing...

I love the Carol Channing icon! :)
