One hundred icons!

[greybeta]

Visgoth told me to complain about only having 15 user pics as a paid account user. A "technical" error cost me. They manually fixed the problem.

*EDIT*: I'm a special paid account user and the rest of you envy me and my ONE HUNDRED USER PICS. Somehow, stealthcomic knew to wait around for the special deal. hummingwolf has kindly pointed out the LJ announcement about it. Someone had to buy me a paid account within a certain time frame. Thank you fortuitious timing.

Fine LJ friends, envy me because I have....

ONE HUNDRED ICONS!!!!!

Now, on a completely Bendisian note...


"You must make one hundred icons if you want to call yourself a true LJer!"

"But..."

"You don't have confidence in your LJ, do you?"

"Well my LJ is pretty fine, but it is one hundred user pics. One hundred!"

"You must create 100 user pics by Christmas or you cannot blog between Christmas and New Year's."

"What?!?"

"Like I said you don't have confidence..."

"No, I do, but did you say one hundred pics?"

"I said one hun-..."

"dred pics! @#$%^&*!!!"

"And..."

"I have to make one hundred of them by..."

"Christmas."

"Why one hundred?"

"Because that's the number of icon slots you have as a paid user."

"Yeah, but it's one hundred icons!"

"All the more to express yourself with."

"Ha ha, very funny."

"You know you're laughing inside."

"No I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"No! I am not!"

"Yes! Yes, you are!"

"No. I. Am. Not."

"Yes. You. Are."

"Hehehe, fine you win. Are you..."

"Yes I am happy. Now, chop chop!"

"Unfortunately, I lack Photoshop and leet photoshopping skills."

"Use Paint."

"Paint?"

"Paint."

"Paint?"

"Paint."

"Pai-..."

"YES, PAINT!"

"But that's so crude!"

"Crude but effective."

"Very well then. But..."

"The answer to your question..."

"But I haven't even asked..."

"Is that you must find out who you are to express yourself."

"Dude, do you even read my LJ?"

"Dude, I help you write your LJ?"

"Then you should know..."

"You still haven't completely found yourself yet."

"Wait, I want to be..."

"A teacher with multiple certifications."

"Yeah, so I know who I am."

"But..."

"But...?"

"But what about your faith?"

"Am I not a Brimstone Baptist?"

"Brimstone Baptists condemn people."

"But I don't..."

"You condemn people."

"No I..."

"Condemn people inwardly, but politely compliment them outwardly."

"So, wait, you're saying that..."

"You're a liar."

"You're a psycho!"

"You're the one talking to yourself."

"No, I am..."

"Talking to a figment of your imagination."

"Hmmmm, okay then..."

"Your LJ friends who read this need to help you."

"By?"

"Giving suggestions for icons..."

"And making some right?"

"Right."

"I'll go..."

"Ask your friends immediately."


I need suggestions! I will create an icon for every anime and video game that I liked. I'll try to tie each one to a certain emotion. I'll go make some sports icons as well. Definitely need a TU for TU Cent Thoughts. I'll probably just steal one off the university site. I need Narnia icons. I need to find that icon that is the ass of a Democratic donkey and the head of a Republican elephant (in red, white, and blue election hues).

I need some help. Could someone make an icon for me? I want an icon that starts a bright yellow smiley face, transitions into a drab grey plainie face, then transitions into a mellow blue frownie face, then transitions back to plainie, then transitions back to smiley to complete a loop. You would be a true hero to D2 if you could complete that for me. Please?

wolflady26 and hummingwolf, I'm looking at you.

Any other suggestions for icons are welcome!

You can definitely pilfer the Democrat and Republican icons you're looking for from Slashdot.

Oh? Where do I look?

Yes, if you have a paid account, you now have...

15 icons, unless your paid account was paid for very recently. The D2 has 100 icons; the hummingwolf has fifteen. Woe.

Will think about making icons for you, but am kinda feverish right now. In the meantime, have fun with all your paid account features!

I had to kick butt by going to LJ support and be like, huh? Maybe you can do the same.

Get well soon. After you do, I'd like for you to photoshop the back half of a Democratic Donkey onto the front half of a Republican Elephant, if you know what I mean.

But you were supposed to get 100 icons. "Starting today, when you buy someone a gift of paid time, you'll automatically give them the userpic add-on for free!" "Today" was Dec. 15, the offer lasts till Dec. 21, and the last time someone gave me paid time was months & months ago. I do get the lovely increased storage space, though.

Get well soon.

I hope to!

After you do, I'd like for you to photoshop the back half of a Democratic Donkey onto the front half of a Republican Elephant, if you know what I mean.

Heh. I don't actually use Photoshop-type programs much. My icons tend to be made with POV-Ray, which is meant for 3-D pictures (though I use it for fractals too, because I can). Which isn't to say that I can't try using Paint Shop Pro to meld political animals together if you can't find that icon elsewhere.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

You're right. And I am having a hard time finding a melded animal...plenty of shots where both are in the same picture but no masterful melds. I believe I do require your awesome Paint Shopping skills here.

I only have 15 icons, too, and my account has been paid for years. Must be an incremental thing. I'd enjoy having more, though. I have a lot of cool little ideas and MS PhotoDraw...

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

The paid account has to be bought in a specific time frame in order to get the extra userpics. Starting Dec. 15, "when you buy someone a gift of paid time, you'll automatically give them the userpic add-on for free!" The offer runs through Dec. 21. Current paid account holders do get extra storage space, though, if you like to upload pictures or make phone posts.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Sorry, hummingwolf is right. There's a limited time frame for someone to buy you paid time to have an ungodly amount of user pics. By the way, if you could do me a favor, I have an idea for an icon, about Arkansas no less.

I need one of those Razorback hogs as the main picture (you know, the sideview one). But then make it into one of those red/white/blue election campaign symbols. So on first glance someone will look at it and ask, is this guy Democrat or Republican? Nope...I'm Arkansan.

Proud to be Arkansan. :)

1.) 100 is entirely too many :-P Have some consistency! ;)
2.) If you ever need photoshop niftyness, lemme know.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

1)100 is crazy amount of pics. So crazy that I must fill the space.
2)One idea I have in my head is a FFIV sprite playing a piano (in sprite). I don't know where you would find a sprite piano, but maybe you could draw one up. I think you'd need to do the bard from FFIV playing the piano would a sweet, sweet icon. Think of it as a Christmas gift. :)

[renough.livejournal.com]

This is a rough draft. What do you want for background, is this the character, and do you want a different piano?
-R

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Ryan, you are my hero! For a background, we need one of those old school sprite windows of a castle, if you know what I am talking about. With a stone or wooden sprite background, whereever you think you would fine a piano in an old school RPG castle. Edward the Bard is the character! He had these purple music notes when he attacked, so purple music notes of some sort above the piano would be good. Not quote Peanuts Linus style, but some eighth notes above the piano would be a nice touch. Also, the piano is fine, but somehow both of Edwards need to be on the piano.

Again, you are an awesome dude.

Paint? Oh? What's wrong with paint?

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Paint is for amateurs like me. Leet people use paint shop pro and other similar programs.
