I was hoping you'd like that one. 8D I tried to make one with the text bouncing around (like actually described in the fic) but it didn't look realistic because I had to make the text too tiny. =/
I used Adobe Imageready (7?), the version I got with Photoshop 7 when I bootlegged it a while back. Its smaller than Photoshop, so my computer doesn't keel over, but it's got almost all of the things I need to make icons. =) Hope that helps.
Imageready is specifically for graphics for web use, I think. It has a bunch of different settings you can jiggle to make your graphics small and neat so they load quickly. It's what I use to make gifs too. It keeps them very small and perfect for use on eljay. 8D That last icon was 50+ frames and was able to be compressed just under eljay's icon limit while keeping the text nice and smooth.
hese are lovely! I totally feel the need to go reread her fics now :P Also, I have infected all of my friends with the wonders that are your icons (sadly they do not venture into the realm that is lj, but still!)

#16 owns my heart, even thought I don't think I will use it. Basic account only allows a meager 6 icons. T_T

If you want to make icons, I'd take a look at this for ideas: http://iconsbycurtana.livejournal.com/23826.html
...Which I need to take another look at myself because my icons are sucky and I really should do better. D:

Icon making has given me reason to reread everything multiple times. I love it.

It is a perfect reason to do so :P Though, really, you don't need a reason :P
