Icons.

So, the whole idea for posting stuff sort of came from this. Because I was tidying up all my folders (for the first time since... I can't even remember), and I realised that I had 37 icons in my 'Icons by me' folder. And since I turned 37 today, that seemed rather serendipitous. Also I was surprised I'd made that many, and figured that maybe people might want them? Not that they're brilliant, as my skills are really not something to write home about, but at least I can always look at this post and go 'Hey - I did that!'

Most of these are Doctor Who (spoilers up to, and including, the recent trailer). If you take any, please remember to credit?

Good luck! It does all kinds of things, it's just not very intuitive. And I don't have the energy to read the instructions properly...
I've started working my way through the manual. It's . . . not a page turner. I am totally dork enough to read the whole thing, though.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
You'll have to join Tumblr and start making gif sets ; )

I'm dork enough, I just don't have TIME enough. :(
By the principle of shared brain, if I read it, you'll know it. I think that's how it works . . .

*has made an icon*

I feel like I'm writing with my left hand . . .

However, as I seem to have solved the rather annoying problem of not being able to type anything because the stupid program kept activating the keyboard shortcuts, I shall declare victory for the time being.

Yay, thing-making successful! I guess I shall keep this program.

I kind of want a new 'metaphors' icon again. Am not sure what I want it to be, though. Thoughts welcome.

Good grief, sounds awful! Glad you solved it!
Deactivated that shit. *nods aggressively* Who uses keyboard shortcuts anyway?

Tis good, so people say...
It's weird because I remember playing around with old, old Photoshop back when I was in, like, elementary school. And I can kinda remember it. So as I'm reading through the manual I keep going 'oh, hey, that thing! That's what that's for!'

I kinda wish I had something I desperately want to make to compel me, but maybe it's just better to read and absorb. So I made Clara thinking about sushi instead.

Hmmm. My other one is this one. The problem is that we have too many? Metaphors I mean. But I shall give it a think.
The last two just kinda jumped out at me as being obvious choices. The center of great big metaphorical complexes. The leaf is the obvious choice, but I dunno. Maybe the special will make something coalesce.

Lucky you! I have zero experience with Photoshop, sadly.
Oh, no, I was seriously young. We're talking the slightly more confusing version of tooling around in MS Paint. No actual skills acquired ; )

Well, it's something to do with fish...
I'll be honest. I'm not entirely sure where sushi eating fits into the metaphorical structure.

How about something from She Said, He Said? They are, quite literally, walking through meta after all...
Hmmm, might take a look. Though there aren't any particular metaphors that stick out to me in that one. It's more like . . . a pool.
