More pretty pictures. Good job! I sure did miss Elizabeth when they dumped her (stupid Mallozzi).

Nice job!!! momcat09 October 1 2009, 14:06:15 UTC

Despite your protestations, I think you're coming along very well with your PhotoShop skills, and these icons you've created prove it...!

Thanks for all the help. The two Icons with the graphics within them were the hardest to make. I wanted Peter's icon to have the Atlantis schematic behind him like a halo, going completely around his head. I still think it is possible to do, its just complicated and requires a skill with masking I haven't quite figured out. Since the background is a gradation I would need to replicate that and then layer the images. I would have needed to build a complete Atlantis schematic and then paste Peter on top of it--difficult. There are probably simpler ways to do it, I just don't know them. I wanted the image to be symmetrical, and I liked the symbolism ( ... )

Very Impressive!! elemgi October 11 2009, 19:45:19 UTC

I had seen these a while ago, but only now am getting to the appropriate post of fan-worship :) these are really sophisticated and I understand MOMCAT's praise of your work- from where I sit they are getting better and better in a rapid fashion. MMmm-- I know there are icon fest awards because DancesWithGary has several awards for multiple years- do you ever think of getting public recognition for the icon work? Let me know, and I can nose around for the nominating process. I am, myself, taking John and Rodney, 103, and John profile, 103, with many thanks from this post.

Thanks for the egoboo, that's a fanword you don't hear anymore. I was on Fanlore yesterday going through their list of fan terms, to track how some of the word meanings have changed. I also found a very interesting article about early fandom. It was fun reading because it wasn't a historic tracking of all the zines (we know that already) but rather a tracking of all the subtle cultural changes. It explained some of my (mild)frustrations with modern attitudes toward warnings, spoilers, and immediate gratification that permeates contemporary fandom ( ... )
