So. The Lovely Emily, who can now be reached at emargaret, and I got some light booze (cranberry something-or-others--Smirnoff Ice?), fooled around with her new LJ, and watched about half of ROTK on DVD. We noted that Shelob is a lot less scary when she is not BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.

We have both been relatively useless today. I slept until lunch, wrote a little bit, and then started making The Day After Tomorrow desktops. (You know, I've been really lazy when it comes to italicizing titles in my blog and journal, but a self-professed Grammar Pirate ought to make the effort, you know?) Sample thumbnails of a few TDAT, Harry Potter, and Phantom of the Opera wallpapers are under the cut, plus a few new Heroine Addict icons. Disclaimer: I'm not terribly artistic; I just make things I'd like to see on my own computer.



Yes, the Phantom desktops are all the same picture--I was playing with different filters trying to get something that looked like a storybook illustration. I'll probably make more POA wallpaper, but this is what I have on my own destop for now.

Go to http://img38.photobucket.com/albums/v118/cleoicons/ and poke around in the "wallpaper" and "heroineaddict" folders. Don't hotlink, or I keel you. "Hotlink" means "use the code img src=address from Cleo's Photobucket account instead of putting it on your own server/account," in case we're not clear on that, because I keep asking, and I keep catching people doing it.

P.S. Yes, things are for taking. And bring me anything fun you make yourself. :)

Yennyway, VERY nice desktops! And I went through all the Van Helsing icons, LMAO!!! Still make me laugh... *sighs* I see you're getting better at Photoshop after 3 weeks than me after 3 years. *hangs head in shame* Now I think I shall have to learn from you... :( Well... it's good. It's all good.

Shelob is a lot less scary when she is not BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.

LMAO...I'm sure the woman who was sitting in front of me in the theater during RoTK and screaming three times during that scene would agree. ;)

The only problem I see is your television is too small for Shelob to be properly scary. I'll pass around a hat and see what we can do to remedy your situation.

dammit, woman!

i will never be able to use all your icons and wallpapers. *rips hair out*

The whole thing with art, is just..go for it. Sometimes I go sloppy, sometimes I go intricate, whatever makes me happy, as long as it's interesting. Everything looks fine to me!!

Eh, I wouldn't even call it art in my case--here it's just "a large publicity photo cropped and/or run through a filter." But thanks. :)

Just have fun. Say ,cut and paste, Harry Potter standing in front of 7-11, and have a word balloon saying above his head, preferable to some wholesome looking girl,also cut and pasted in, "How you doin'?"
Or something to that effect.
That's the sort of thing I do all the time.
Or play with filters, and make people look like they're made out of neon tubing, like my Yami-Yugi icon here. Maybe underwater. It's fun.
