AW, thanks. I know I used 'GIMP' once and it's similar to Photoshop, no? (which I only use because someone installed it on my 'puter 'gratis') Anyway, on almost every icon, I don't like people's reddish skin tone, so I use the same yellowish 'texture' on it - the first one on this page, http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/emmiegray/My%20Bases/ and layer it as soft light at 20% or so. It warms up the little people in the icons. lol Which it should, because it's actually a crop I took of a candle flame. I'm really into achieving a 'Dick & Jane' type effect right now...boomer second childhood thing, I guess. I also use that 'dark blue exclusion layer' trick at times.
Have you seen the caps of Jack over at Lost Media? I swear they used magic marker to fill in his beard!
I do share your initial reaction......but I had to do the 'Annie' one - they just left that whole storyline hanging, and we were left assuming that Benry had gassed one of his best (only?) friends? The icon should say 'this is the gaping plothole into which Annie fell'......lol
