Icons

[saffiter]

Right, so the last few weeks have been kinda stressful...and you know me. When I get stressed I make icons. Plus I've joined tf_stillnesswhich is an icon competition community. I've got entries for this week, but they don't start voting until Saturday.

Anyway, under the cut is Ironhide, Bumblebee, Maggie, Starscream, Optimus Prime and Frenzy.

1.  2.  3.   4.  5.

6.   7.

A lot of these were me just playing about. I couldn't decide which one I liked best so I kept them all.

8.   9. this one got entered into the icon comp. It did fairly well

10.   11. this one also got entered.

12.  Just playing with brushes...but I so empathise!

13.  I've since seen someone with an icon that's very similar to this (after I'd spent three hours making this one)... This was my reaction when I saw it.

14.   15.

I'm fast developing a soft spot for Ironhide. He makes good icons. Ratchet is a screencapping nightmare...and don't get me started on Jazz (fraggin' 'bot doesn't stand STILL long enough to get a decent shot!!), Prime's okay, but hard to do, Bumblebee...yeah..But Ironhide. I haven't had anything NOT turn out okay with him. *huggles Ironhide*

16. Maggie screencaps WELL! I was surprised..and proceeded to go back and get a lot of caps of her.

17.   18.  19.  20.

Yes, I now have more, and will proceed to make some more of her..just as soon as I get inspired.

21.  22. This one got entered into the competition as well.

23. Another of my entries. 

24. Yep, another entry ^___^. I'm REALLY pleased how this one turned out.

25.  Er, yeah. Not happy with this one.

26.  First ever entry into an icon comp. It did crap, and I'm not too happy with it, but hey. It was my first entry.

27.  The less said about this one, the better.

Oh, and I'm going to start a gallery of "Sam's Funny Faces", 'cause seriosly, some of the faces he pulls...classic!!

Right, I'm going to go and sleep off whatever bug this is I've picked up from my students. I had to have picked it up off them. I haven't been anywhere in WEEKS!!!

Oh, don't get me started on the whole grammar thing.

There's stories that have style issues that I can't handle, too. I can handle a certain amount of bad grammar etc...

...less, now that I actually spend most of my time teaching grammar and proper English spelling to students.

It could have the greatest story idea on the planet, but if the grammar's bad and the style is just awful there's no way I'm going to read it.

I used to love the smurfs (I'm not sure which version I saw. Australia seems to have a love affair with American stuff, though, especially back in teh 80's, so I probably saw the American version if there was one)...haven't watched it since I was a little girl, though. And Captain Planet used to just send me into hysterical giggles whenever I watched it ^_______^.

Ooooh...chapter 7 *grins*.

Your offer for idea/character bouncing/tossing is open on this end, too. Ever want someone to bounce stuff off I'll have an open ear.

*laughs* I can stand bad spelling better than bad grammar or formatting. (There's a reason my personal quote for years was "Bad spellers of the world, Untie!") But, yes I completely agree with you. Unless it's a deliberate bad fic - there was a bad fic challenge in a community I'm a member of - and then I'll read it just for bragging rights.

*nods* Probably. I think the Smurfs are originally Swedish, though. I loved Captain Planet's naming puns: Loot N. Plunder and the rest.

*is still working on it* Chapter 6 was on the short side, but it felt right to break it there. Originally, Chapters 6 & 7 were going to be one chapter, but I couldn't find a good segue into the next section.

I think I'll take you up on that.
"Good morning Optimus Prime, Bumblebee," the agent greeted the two mechs. "What are you looking at? Is it a hologram of some sort of alien artifact?"
Does that sound like Banachek to you?

Bad spelling is okay (I ended up writing "I wetn too China las yer" in my last class on Friday last week before I realised what I'd written LOL! I can spell perfectly fine when it's pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, but chalk to blackboard...my spelling just goes down the shit-shoot), grammar... I caught myself correcting a story I was reading one day because I was that annoyed (and very bored). I've never actually been brave enough to read a fic that's trying to be bad on purpose before.

Naming puns can be fun ^___^.

Yeah, 6 was a little short, but it'd been a while so I wasn't complaining (and besides, I could always go back and re-read. See if I missed anything the first time around *grin*).

I still think Simmons is going to need a hug.... gah! Icon idea *OUT,OUT FELL FIEND!!!*

Yeah, it sounds like Banachek (who doesn't get enough love, IMHO. I liked him). Polite no-matter what (that's the impression I get of him. Never once panicked during the whole film that I could see).

*snickers* I've had days where I can't spell "the". I'm completely sober, healthy, and well-rested, but I can't spell "the" for some odd reason.

*grins* Miss Anne Thrope hates everyone. Miss Dee Meenor keeps breaking the law. And, Ber Stein is always drunk.

*shrugs* I had a friend's wedding to attend. So, with finding an outfit and everything, I didn't have a lot of time to write.

*zombie-looking Simmons icon idea snarls and shuffles off*

I agree that Banachek needs more love; so does Miles. I think Banachek's calmness is part of the reason why he's teamed with Simmons. They make a good balance.
