Happy Icon Makers Appreciation Day!

[onecoldcanadian]

I am posting this relatively early yes, but I will probably be away from the computer until late this evening and I didn't want to wait until then to post.

This mega post brought to you by the appreciation and admiration I have for those strange, but hardworking icon makers out there in LJland. When once upon a time I was relatively new at the icon making, I quickly found a welcome place among them. I am constantly amazed by the work they do and even more amazed at their willingness to teach and help others out. A big shout-out should also be made to the moderators of the icon challenge communities out there. You are all loved and appreciated for your support of the icon making community! Without your communities who knows where fellow icon makers would do.

A small list of the icon makers who contantly amaze me with their fabulous talent!: azuredflame, burntspaghetti, catmint68, crofan28, crumblingwalls, dtissagirl, _green_, georgiamae, jwynn, lauranobaka, lavellebelle, lil_lj, oxoniensis, niannah, quebelly, roniabirk, saava, selluinlaer, sinecure, unhappyending, verucawerewolf, wild_dreamer etc. I could go on and on and I'm sure I've already offended people I didn't list. Hee.

For the icon makers mentioned above, if I haven't already posted this into your LJs snag it!



I'm posting all these for sharing, feel free to snag if you are so inclined. The majority of them are icons I have made for Icon Challenges in the past (I even put up a few of the alternate versions), but there are a few random fandom icons in the mix as well.

I like any day wherein you post both family guy and TDS icons (which I snagged, yo). Happy Icon Maker Appreciation day to you, because you continuously rock.

[onecoldcanadian.livejournal.com]

Yes, I though you'd like those icons and thanks for the rockage. You rock too! I was going to mention you and catmint68 in there as supermods and all, but then people would expect me to name every mod from everywhere and it would be all dramatic and messy when I would inevitably forget to put someone on there.

Plus that's extra work and I don't like that.

I approve of your logic, specifically the laziness part.

The Jon Stewart one says it's too big, though. It won't upload. :( That makes me sad. He's Jewriffic.

Look at Peter dance. Dance, Peter, dance!

"Oh my god, Lois, what day is it? Oh my god, I'm late! Where are the home pregnancy tests?!"
"Peter, you can't have a baby!"
"Well, I'm Catholic, Lois, it's not like I have a choice!"

Thank you for being an inspiration to me and fellow icon makers.

Thank you so much! It means a lot coming from an icon maker I adore as well.

[niennah.livejournal.com]

I adore your icons. Your current one in ats_challenge is making me particularly jealous. *g*

And thank you so much for the banner. It really made my day. :)

[onecoldcanadian.livejournal.com]

Wow that banner is gorgeous! and neat I make you jealous, I mean that in a good way because I am always jealous of you. ;)

Happy icon makers appreciation day! Thank you for your always gorgeous icons that have inspired me to make mine better. And espcially thank you for your continued contributions to gg_challenge.

You're a wonderful icon maker! Thanks for being there for people like me!

I snagged a couple of those neat Family Guy video icons... :o) I found you through the community icon_rec (I don't know the tag to direct link, sorry!) and I am glad I did :o) Nice work!

[outoftime.livejournal.com]

That first Family Guy icon is the funniest scene EVER!

Thank you so much for your uniqueness - you are truly wonderful!

eeeee! it's like Christmas with so much pretty in one place!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

You have some lovely icons here, especially the challenge ones. I love the cropping on 'A Lonely Girl', and the grungy feel to many of them. The Willow 'Torn to Pieces' one is especially effective, in fact, all that row, with their almost b&w colouring, are beautiful.

*smooch*

font?

[alicondc.livejournal.com]

Hey, I love your icons, especially the Angel ones and the I Love You animated Family Guy. I was just wondering... there's one font you use a lot and I really really like it but I can't figure out what it is... for example, you use it in the bicon_challenge in the Buffy Say honestly you won't give up on me one and its variations. Could you tell me what it is and at what size? Thanks!

Re: font?

[onecoldcanadian.livejournal.com]

Oh no problem, the font is Trebuchet MS set at 5pt. I am in love with that font!

Oh great! Thanks a lot.
