Small thing

Nov 10, 2016 20:19

In the interests of keeping cheerful, I would have liked to do a writing meme, but since I am still working on the Yuletide fic that won't lie down and die, that must wait. However, there is another sort of small, nice thing I can provide - icons ( Read more... )

icons, fannish nonsense

Is this Fourth Doctor happy enough for you?

Your request made me screencap at least a bit of Masque of Mandragora, so I couldn't resist doing a few more for you & I hope they're suitably cheerful!

Oh, look at all the pretty, happy icons! Thank you so much!

I don't have much icon space on LJ, but I have tons of space on my laptop, and I enjoy looking at my icons there even when I don't have them in my LJ "rotation." But I've already created space for this one in preparation for fic_rush this weekend. : )

Aw, cool! I couldn't resist Four writing with a grin on his face; it's just a shame that when it switches to front the quill isn't quite as obvious as it is in the side ones. :-)

(I'll have a go at the other pic - well done for finding it!)

Actually, if it's not too late, I think this one's better -- nicer shot of Lis: http://orig06.deviantart.net/22e5/f/2012/354/4/1/doctor_who_cast_for_stolen_earth_by_linkofskyloft17-d5olj15.png

(It's amazing how easy it is to find these now that I know what I'm looking for!)

Haha, you're on a roll. It's not too late! I am amused, though, as I saved the first one to my pc earlier this morning & then saw this, thought, "Oh, yes, Skyler is right, def. a better pic," saved that one... and then could not tell the difference between them in my pictures folder! Or which was which. I had to delete them both & shall now only save the right one at the moment of making, just in case you produce an even better one ;-).

LOL, it will probably be even harder to tell the difference when they're shrunk down to icon size. I did poke around a little more, but I don't think there's anything better, unless someone has a gallery of screencaps from that Confidential out there somewhere.

Thanks again so much for doing this, and for the other icons!

dbskyler November 13 2016, 08:03:47 UTC

Wait, someone DOES have a gallery of screencaps from that Confidential! Look!

THIS IS THE PHOTO I HAVE! Except in much higher quality!

LOL! I feel as if no icon can now live up to this dedicated research, but I have at least produced something a little clearer than the other:

dbskyler November 13 2016, 17:51:56 UTC

I feel I have been this crazy, demanding person -- "this one! no wait, this one! no, this!" -- but you have NO IDEA how thrilled I am right now to have this icon. Seriously, I kept this horrible, fuzzy photo on my laptop because I loved it, and now I have this wonderful gift. Thank you so much.

lost_spook November 13 2016, 18:17:56 UTC

No, not at all! I've been impressed by your internet searching! I'd only have been annoyed if you'd expected me to keep looking. And as a bonus you now have a better original pic for your lap top too!

:-)

dbskyler November 14 2016, 00:10:42 UTC

Well, you gave me the push. See, I never really considered how icons are made, but I thought you basically wave a magic photoshop wand over an image and get it to come out. When you said you'd tried Google for a clearer photo, I thought, "Hey, I suck at making images, but I can use Google!" So that sent me on the quest. :)
