My kingdom for an icon...

[triadruid]

This was fun last time around, so I'll do it again: Anybody who needs an icon is welcome to post an idea here and I'll see if I can come up with something. On the other hand, I seem to have some marked deficiencies in my set:

• No Star Trek? Plenty of Star Wars, but somehow I missed this one.
  
• No Dune!?! I was trying to think of one last night, and ended up with the idea of the gom jabbar/"You might be a human" narrative, but I'm not sure it'll translate well to 100x100.
  
• No Whisky/drink icons, I don't think...
  
• My brain keeps trying to toss out "I am lost in my own mind"/Sa souvraya niende misain ye, but I have no idea what icon to put with it.
  
• Others?

This is my only 'new' one in the last several months, and it's one I was using on a board elsewhere. I've got ~30 slots left. Go!

Surprise me. You did pretty well last time.

any objections to my stealing this one?

Re: Icons for you - Subject Whisky

[leiandra.livejournal.com]

They're free for the taking. All I ask is a tagline.

The first one with no text, you can even text yourself (or let me know what you want & I'll give it a whirl).

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

I am in need of a music one (flute preferable) and maybe an acting one. I only have two slots of my 15 left. I need to clear a few out and I may post again to see if you can fill my icon holes... ;-)

because you need to be challenged

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

"raised by wolves lesbians"

Re: because you need to be challenged

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Is that for me or for you? Because I was raised by my hippie father...

Re: because you need to be challenged

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

For me, of course. It's all about me.

Re: because you need to be challenged

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Might be a bit hard to read, but try this one:

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

So yeah. I cleaned up my icons. I have 5 slots.

You up to any of the following?

Flute/music/singing (any variation including one and not another
Acting
Buddha/Buddhist anything Buddhesc (Is that a word?)
Speeches/presentation/public speaking of some sort

Buddhist one

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

Hummm... it's a bit busy for what I was looking for.

I do like that it is simliar to my tatoo just with a Buddha...

Re: Buddhist one

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

This is wretched, but it's my next best guess.

Not really what you were going for, but you or A. might find it useful someday...

It's a tile from Nara Prefecture in Japan, by the way: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:AsukaSeatedBuddha.jpg

Re: Buddhist one

[celticwhistlin.livejournal.com]

Actually, I kind of like this one. Simple, clean.

Thanks! :-)

I'm really missing some sort of craft whore icon. I keep thinking I'll rectify this, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Pretty please?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Any craft in particular? And is the word "craftwhore' important to it?

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

Any craft in particular?
Not necessarily. I have quite a few that I enjoy.

And is the word "craftwhore' important to it?
I like the term craft whore, but it doesn't have to be there.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I'm working on some Dune ones for you...

Viola.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

This actually ended up funnier, I think.



Can you tell it's from Office Space?

Re: Viola.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Very nice. Incidentally, I found some Dune movie icons the other day if you're still interested in such things. I can look them up again.

Re: Viola.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Sure. This post is still on my list, but I can't find many good icons for the requests...

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Also, I think I need an engineering (mechanical, preferrably) icon of some sort. Steampunk might work, but that's not quite my goal. This is a new and unclear void...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

This won't help you with the icon problem, but I thought you might like it anyway...

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.

The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for and enduring relationship.

The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.

The engineer said, "I like both."

"Both?"

Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

*snort* You're right on both counts...

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

I need at least one more in this vein.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Which vein, exactly? I count about four in that image...

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

Sufficiently lewd that I shouldn't normally use it. *grin*

Unlike this one, which I use all the damn time...

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

Oh, and in another vein entirely, I really need a Captain Jack (from first season, new Dr. Who) icon, something about swinging both ways.

But I'm not sure what.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

This one was easier, in some ways:

[brandy22kc.livejournal.com]

possible a butterfly superhero? or anything you think might fit

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

First thought is this one, though it may not be what you're going for:

i love it thats so great

[kellan-m-solan.livejournal.com]

I've got one latin phrase left on my list of phrases to iconify. Animis opibusque parati. I've failed to come up with anything I like, I don't seem to have any pictures that go with "prepared" that don't involve a shotgun }-(. Which is a little more right wing than I want to be in public. Any thoughts?

After that I've got one slot remaining, I could use advice on that too!

BTW, that Bodhi tree icon is sweet.

[zylch.livejournal.com]

You'll probably want that to be animo opibusque paratus, assuming that you're referring to yourself. Unless, of course, you've got multiple personality disorder.

I, apparently, need a classics nerd icon. Or perhaps a pedant one :-)

Re: Icons for you - Subject Whisky

[leiandra.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with being a Latin geek.

*whites out the 2.5 years of it on her high school transcript*

Actually, I wish I remembered more of it than I do. :(

[kellan-m-solan.livejournal.com]

Good, thanks. I would much rather be embarrassed and correct. Than obviously blissfully ignorant. Since I had One year of latin in high school, during which I mostly did trigonometry homework, please feel free to correct my mistakes in the future.

--I'll get back with you on the personality disorder, multiple or otherwise!

[leiandra.livejournal.com]

If one of you will translate for me, I'll see what I can come up with.

[kellan-m-solan.livejournal.com]

Prepared in mind and resources... or somesuch }-)
