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?

ETA: Speaking of icons... I've dived back into my Doctor/Marilyn fic, and now all I want to do is add Marilyn quotes to River screencaps. I mean, look at this:
Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.
~
If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.
~
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy.
~
I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.
Plus, obviously she and the Doctor were perfect for each other (too long for an icon, sadly):
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

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.

You'll have to join Tumblr and start making gif sets ; )

I'm dork enough, I just don't have TIME enough. :(

Hahahahahahahaha. No. (I leave Tumblr to my 14 year old.)

By the principle of shared brain, if I read it, you'll know it. I think that's how it works . . .

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.

Good grief, sounds awful! Glad you solved it!

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

Deactivated that shit. *nods aggressively* Who uses keyboard shortcuts anyway?

Tis good, so people say...

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.

They are handy, but only in certain cases.

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.

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.

Well, it's something to do with fish...

How about something from She Said, He Said? They are, quite literally, walking through meta after all...

Oh, no, I was seriously young. We're talking the slightly more confusing version of tooling around in MS Paint. No actual skills acquired ; )

I'll be honest. I'm not entirely sure where sushi eating fits into the metaphorical structure.

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.

I had a drawing programme when I was young. Sadly it was NOTHING LIKE MS Paint, or Photoshop...

Nope, let's not go there.
