As you can see I reworked the 'Teyla Saving John icon' and centered it correctly, which meant I had to repaint the background. It was a lot of work for a few pixels, but that annoying voice in my head would have kept saying.... it isn't centered you ass--fix it. So I did.
Vala made a comment about the 'Teyla and Aiden saving John' icon, and now I need to fix that. I lifted it out of the screencap centered it as it was, but it's not quite right. With a little touch up I can draw in Aiden's elbow and then have them free standing clear of the frame. The screencap caught them in a beautiful pyramidal stance all I had to do was take out the background.
I like framing images, especially images we see from the TV frame, I like to play with fourth-wall-breakage as a visual commentary and metaphor on the subject. It's part of what I was writing about in our icon discussion and the principles can be used for many kinds of art not just icons.
I was reading all your vacation commentaries again, at the time I didn't have time to respond to them but I'm going to add some comments. I just can't write as fast as you can. But I loved how you captured all the immediacy of what we were doing and all the loving details. It locks everything into memory.
The Saeob gathering last night was wonderful, as always. I enjoyed both Red-haired gal's and your comments on the new Prisoner mini-series, I can't wait to see it, even if it is wery wery weird. I need to go to Walmart today and buy the 'Star Trek' DVD before the price goes up, I also need to exchange some Christmas lights that I purchased for the store. I'm putting it off as long as possible because I know it is going to be a zoo over there.
