A while ago, I was looking for a teal deer icon for tl;dr moments.

Google Image search (I think it was) led me to this cute picture of a teal deer, which I have now made an icon of, by permission from the artist (Kunika).

See whether your screen can resolve all the dots in the userpic properly or whether you get “beats”, smushed areas, colour banding, or other artefacts :)

Incidentally, I’m a bit surprised that the GIF version of this image was nearly three times the size of the PNG version; my experience had been that for very small images, GIF can win. I guess ( Read more... )

…I just realised that my (old) “colourcube-111” icon and my (fairly new) “Maxwell colour triangle” icon are essentially the same thing, just arranged slightly differently:

New userpic inspired by a post to CONLANG.

It’s a triangle with red/green/blue at the vertices and combinations of the colours in between. (For example, halfway along the red/blue side it’s magenta, i.e. 50% red and 50% blue, aka #FF00FF; and in the centre, it’s pure white, i.e. 33% red, 33% green, 33% blue, aka #FFFFFF.

Icon by pseudomonas.

Lovely language geekery :)

I thought about how I could produce an icon with the maximum number of possible colours, but in a somewhat pleasing way.

Here's a new Amy picture! For some reason, I've always used August pictures so far...

I'm not entirely happy with how the picture turned out when resized to a userpic, but we'll see whether I'll grow to like it (or whether I'll find a better one to replace it with).

New Amy userpic; the old one was now over a year old.

It didn't turn out quite as nice as the original, I thought -- perhaps because you can't see her grin in the scaled-down version.
