Icon meme!
Ahh, memes. When I want to post but don't wanna really say anything.
Reply with "Icons!" in the comments and I'll pick six of your userpics for you to talk about.
Icons chosen by beckyh2112:
I don't remember who first pointed out this joke to me. It was in real life, so it's safe to say it was a fellow female. One day I decided I wanted to make it into a userpic, so I Googled up an image and made this based on a photo I found. I also watermarked it, because I knew it'd be "borrowed," and I wanted to see how far it spread.
This is an illustration by Jon Neill from L. Frank Baum's The Tin Woodman of Oz. In the books the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman are bestest friends, and sometimes it comes across as more than that, as the Woodman can be very.... effusive. I personally liked the "bromance" angle, so I wrote a story in which it was a major factor. (More news to come on that, hopefully soon.) In this pic they are looking at a map carried by Woot the Wanderer, but I cropped the kid out.
This is from the DOOM comic. Ahh, DOOM, the '90s game that revolutionized the FPS genre. I still have it installed on my computer. In '96 someone published a 16-page comic book based on it, and it was amazingly, hilariously bad. In fact, I'd guess that the writer had to have had his tongue in his cheek, especially when the Doom Guy falls in love with the BFG. I have a soft spot in my heart for classic DOOM, so I made an icon.
Some years ago a friend was doing a project which I would call an animated MST3K. I was one of the voice actors, and this was my character. Her name was "Blitter." I did some basic doodles and sketchington (the producer of said effort) refined it into this design. Her voice was a bit Hexadecimal-ish. The project never came to fruition, ah well.
Katamari Damacy! The King of All Cosmos may have acted light in the loafers, but his wife knows he's all man. I ripped the movies from the game and made this icon. It has also spread across the LJ-verse, and the proof I made it is the watermark across the king's sash, though you have to blow it up to about 300% to see it.
Ever notice that chopstick wrappers all have the same directions, with varying typos and degrees of blurriness on the images? I scanned the most messed-up chopstick wrapper I found and made this. I typed the directions myself, but the typos and font changes are exactly as they appear on the wrapper.
