Icons!

[cleolinda]

I'm going to try to be as clear about this as possible:

1. My icons are sort of crap minimalist. In fact, some of them this time turned out kinda sucky. Please feel free to redo them or make your own. Go to lost-media.com if you need pictures, because they have, like, 600-900 screen caps per episode.

2. I have no problem with anyone making any sort of icon ever, or taking any of mine, because what the hell am I going to do with all of these anyway? Take take take!

3. If the question is, "Do you mind if I...?," the answer 99.9% of the time is going to be "Go for it."


Also: We have two sets of icons here, but they're all lumped into one folder together (take take take). There are icons made specifically from the "Confidence Man" recap (I can't believe I made a "Dear Cameraman: Pull back a few inches" icon, but I did), and then there are "country" icons. You know, "Snickerbitchapan" and "El Waltador" and all that stuff we were talking about last night. It's kinda smurfy, but it was fun, and I needed a little cheering up today. So we have Charlie Arabia (with bonus PB reference), "Sawyer, Sworn Enemy of Cavetown," Clairwaii, the Clairibbean (tm netninny--y'all came up with a ton of good Claire/Babymama ones, though), the Doomrador Peninsula, the Jackstralian Outback, Katebabwe, Bosnia-Mercutiovina, Luxemboone (tm netninny--although we had a strong pull for Boonegladesh, also from netninny), Snickerbitchapan, Stevedad and/or Scottbago, and sunny El Waltador. Sayidistan got thrown in with the regular episode icons (below). I haven't done anything for Sunisia, Jinmark, Hurleguay, or Locke Lomond (tm fanofall).

Regular episode samples:



Again, feel free to make better versions of any of these, because... some of them kinda suck, y'all. "The Good Ship Charlie Loves Babymama" deserves better. And I imagine you can make icons of any of the country names I didn't use, as long as you put something like "(tm username)" in your icon credit.

I passed by the bathroom, saw my bottle of peroxide, and had a fucking gigglefit in the hallway. ALL YOUR FAULT.

YES! More Cleolinda icons!

(Minimalist = funny. I wouldn't like them as much if they were brushed and gradient-ed to hell and back.)

"Sawyerland, Sworn Enemy of Cavetown" makes me cry. In a good way.


I love you.

Simple is good. Layers are meant for cakes, not icons.

This is completely random, but everytime I read "Babymamma" my brain translates it as "Bahama Mama". And I'm pretty sure alcohol and pregnant girls don't go together. Unless alcohol was involved in the conception.

sweet pumpkin jesus, I fell out of my chair laughing at these. Too funny, I tell you! ...and sadly enough I snagged that same screencap to do an animated Sayidistan, because I have delusions of skill at iconning. ^_^.

[lilgoala.livejournal.com]

I have one to contribute! ^^



Mmm, peanut butter. Anyone is welcome to use, if they like it.

[goddess-raven.livejournal.com]

Your icons are not sucky! They're really good! Simple is good! Less is more! I'm snagging a bunch!

[dawnglider.livejournal.com]

Simple is good.
*pets the pretty icons*
What font do you use?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Silkscreen.

I like the simple thing usually--it's almost kind of a style for me now, Silkscreen + quote + picture--but I didn't like the way some of them turned out this time, even considering.

[queen-hermione.livejournal.com]

Fabulous! I made a few of my own tonight, I'll post a link if you want to check 'em out. I also want to know what font you use. It is actually really good for lots of text, and I hate most bitmap fonts. Thanks!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Silkscreen, 8 pt. :)

[kassandra05.livejournal.com]

Minimalist = understandable = totally faboo.

Funny recap and icons as always. The country names being an added bonus this time.

Thanks again for making me laugh and enhancing my enjoyment of the fabulous show.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

That picture you used? = Jackstrailian Outback.
He he he.

And question since you use silkscreen - where did you get yours? I tried to DL it and it wouldn't work for some reason...

[mokeyhokey.livejournal.com]

You can get Silkscreen from the creator's website (http://kottke.org/). :)

Before I saw that cleolinda put this post up I started on some icons, but then I stopped because I grew weary and needed rest. But, if you all want to check out the ones I've done for now, you can see them here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/samiamicons/6328.html).

I'm afraid cleolinda has out witted me with the humor in her icons... but... I think she outwits us all.

More icons of the character-countries are on their way... Hope you all like them.

[angelic-oni.livejournal.com]

Your icons are pretty funny. I'd take a few... if I had room for more icons.

Like the Commie sharefest one... *grins*

You know what I realized tonight? Kate Notinsale is a spokesperson for Livelinks Chatline (http://www.livelinks.com/freetrials/index.jsp). I was watching Survivor, and when the commercials came on, there was the independent country of Katebabwe, telling me to go chat live for free with real singles in my area. Twas surreal.

[lilgoala.livejournal.com]

While looking for more info on Evangeline Lilly, I came across this site (http://www.evangelinelilly.com/). It has a song (written about her, I presume... lol) available for download. It's cool and upbeat in a funny, quirky sort of way.

[lafemmezilla.livejournal.com]

you totally rock! taking a bunch, thanks :)

[lyrainverse.livejournal.com]

I don't usually post in journals of people I don't know, but you. are. fucking. hilarious.

[sirvinegar.livejournal.com]

Just lavishing more praise for the icons. Great stuff, plus I anticipate the recaps almost as much as the show itself.

It's about bunnies! (I knew that line was destined for the "Lost" Fandom Hall of Fame as soon as I heard it.)

[mokeyhokey.livejournal.com]

Luxemboone: A haven for business.

Hee. Heeeeeeeeeee.

[dracosangel.livejournal.com]

I stole, umm, no wait, borrowed two of them. Sawyer and the Sawyer/Kate makeout session. I noticed you didn't have a sexy no shirt Sawyer on the beach. Wish I would've seen one of those.

Quick question, please. How do you put a line through a word in "lj speak"?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The code is [strike]text[/strike], only with <>.

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

I think the whole island shoudl get a name. Lostralia would be cool if Jack didn't already have it... Lostralian OutJack! Teehee.

[sapphires13.livejournal.com]

I gave the Goodship a try:


Png and Gif (I prefer png, everyone else in the world prefers gif)]

I probably won't use it myself, but anyone else is welcome to.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

THAT IS SO AWESOME.

(I prefer png!)

*slaps forehead*

Before reading all the comments, I asked what font you used for your icons (since they're purdy and the fonts for my icons always look weird to me). But yeah... I was wondering what size you put the font at and if you got silkscreen from a website or if it came with your computer.

Thanks.

PS- all the stuff you do that I've read is awesome. Please continue with the lost recaps bc they're so funny. (And, I'd like to point out, your recaps come along much faster than the ones on TWOP... which, in my eyes (along with the rest of the impatient people of the world) gives you brownie points).

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

I took, like, almost all of them. Including both It's about bunnies!, Hook, line, and sinker, and Dear Cameraman.

...

BAD GIRL. A SAWYER OBSESSION IS NOT OKAY. *slaps hand*

[cynical-lemon.livejournal.com]

What about Vincent the Yellow Doomrador? Come on now. Vincelvania.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He has one!

[mistresstoast.livejournal.com]

Hey...just randomly surfed onto your journal from someone's icon credit :)

LOL, those icons are priceless. XD!! It's funny, 'cause my sister and I got bored the other day and mapped out the island (Lostralia, as we call it) on the back of a receipt.

Of course, yours are better...the best we came up with was Lockepotamia ;) Good job!

[libraire.livejournal.com]

I love your icons! :D Stealing the Jackstralian Outback, Imported from Charlie Arabia and Sawyerland, sworn enemy of Cavetown.

Your stuff is great ;)

[libraire.livejournal.com]

Oh, also, can I take your 'OMGWTFBEES?!' one with Jack and 'the most awesome flying squirrel tackle ever' one too? :>
