Frantically responds to threat encouragement of not_yet_defined...

*points to icon* Here's my early marathon contribution I made in the last day *is proud*

wipes sweat off brow Exhales having narrowly escaped wrath of ny.

PS. If someone will be so kind as to tell me the code for username, I will be happy to start using it :))

P.S.S. I think I need an icon copy writer... or perhaps I'll post icons as they're ready and we can make it into a little game? *nods* Now you nod, because I like games, so you must be enthusiastic (please?)

So, does the line read properly? I wanted to keep it short, but I think it's grammatically incorrect but may be correct enough for 'icon speak.' Yes? No? I just didn't want to say 'before I started reading fanfiction... too long.. Originally did 'prostate envy' but am doing a 'penis envy' (because, yes, I have that now too thanks to QAF... I went 41 years without ever wanting a penis or prostate and am now doomed to wonder for eternity) Also decided against 'I never wanted a prostate until fanfiction.'

Any and all feedback appreciated :p

I like it and the wording seems fine to me. I understood what you meant without all the extra wordiness.

I also really like your other one of BJ at the art show. I capped that episode and tried to get a good cap with Brian swinging his belt so I could make an icon of it. Alas my cap came out too blurry.

Thanks! I was going to go post on your journal because I did the prostate one after you talked about using 'curves' I had wondered how people were turning that scene to brown--- it's curves :))))) I'm sooo happy *jumping up and down* I have a bunch of icons where the colors aren't quite to my taste, so am going to go nuts.

What or where were the "how to" vids you watched? I always have so much fun with trial and error but am to the point now where I need to know some of the specific tool details and techniques.

It's exciting isn't it? I love that we're both learning this stuff together so we can bounce ideas and feedback off each other!

There aren't any 'how to' vids as far as I know. I do all of my research reading icon tutorials posted mostly on LJ. If you look in my memories you will find posts that have links to many tutorials.

Refresh my memory....what program are you using? I'm using GIMP which is the poor man's version of Photoshop.

I meant my IJ memories NOT LJ. I wasn't sure if I was clear.

Crap, I meant to tell you that I had to essentially redraw the belt as it was completely blurred and I had to extend the yellow to clean up the cluttered background in that area too.
