During my computer breaks, I make icons!

[stunt_muppet]

Yes I do.

So far, so good with the cut-down-on-internet thing. I actually studied for my Religion test, I got my reading and such done on time, and I've remembered to do almost every major task I had today.

Also, I managed to drag kayliemalinzainto Doctor Who. Merci, "Genesis of the Daleks". 

So, um. After Genesis, I was inspired to do some iconing, particularly of the Four and Harry variety. (it's surprisingly hard to find good Sarah Jane caps for that serial. There are a few good shots of her, but none from the segment I was looking for.) To facilitate my iconing, I finally relented and downloaded GIMP, and am finally starting to learn how to work it.

Of course, I could hardly stop after the Who icons, so I turned my shiny new computer toy to my stockpile of Miami images. 

Behind the cut are: 

8 Doctor Who icons (Mostly Fourth Doctor and Harry, mostly variations, plus an edited version of my earlier Delgado!Master icon because he's cool.)
15 CSI: Miami icons, (Horatio, Yelina (some H/Y), Alexx, Calleigh, one Eric and Ryan, mostly variations)

Doctor Who Icons:
Notes:
1) 1 and 2 are quotes from "Genesis of the Daleks"
2) I am excessively fond of 5. I don't know why. Is it bad form to use one's own icons? Because I really like 5.
3) Lyrics in 8 are from "Still Alive", by Jonathan Coulton & GlaDOS. Yes, aka the ending theme from Portal. Expect more Portal quote icons once I can find some good screens to go with 'em.

CSI: Miami icons:Notes:
1) #1 was my firstest icon ever. :)
2) I've no idea why none of my Calleigh icons don't show her eyes. Expect a rectification of that come next icon post.
3) I started out with as many Horatio caps as I've Miami macros and I ended up with ONE workable icon base. Maybe two. The man's suprisingly hard to iconify.
4) I swear #8 didn't look that grainy when I was making it.
5) I was really fond of the black-and-white filter. Can you tell?
6) I think I like my "No icon!" placeholder better than I like my actual icons.

Textures from pinkmelons, bassviol, and 77words.

More to come, so soon as I clear up a little space on my poor, overloaded hard drive.

d'awww, I like numbers 1, 2, 5, 7, and ESPECIALLY 3 of the Who icons. ^_^


If you need temporary holding space for some stuff, I can lend you my Seagate or MAXTOR. Also, I have an external DVD burner and blank DVDs, if your laptop doesn't burn DVDs internally. sylvia doesn't. :/

I feel like I've seen the curly haired actor from somewhere. Is he in another movie and I'm just missing it?

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

You mean the one in the scarf? He's been in other movies, but none that I've seen (and he has short hair in most of them, anyway). I do believe he was in a version of The Canterbury Tales at some point...

Hmm. *goes to trawl IMDB*

Glad you like them! I'm fond of #3 myself - the screenshot was just so cute!

I think my computer has a DVD burner, but I'm not certain - I should probably call Dad and ask. Thanks for your offer, though. I may take you up on it at some point in the future. :)

Actually, the disc drive itself should tell you, in writing or a symbol on the flap-- Mine says "compact disc rewritable" and "dvd rom." I hypothesize that if your drive can burn DVDs, it'll say "dvd rom rewriteable." And if it doesn't tell you, oh well. It takes like, 5 seconds to check. ^_^

(another idea is to see if there is DVD burning software in your start menu, although that is not a fool-proof indicator.)

...late reply, because you caught me right before I headed off to class.

Um, my disc drive says the same thing yours does, and I see a CD burner in my menu but no DVD burner. So I guess that's a no.
