The first twelve icons

11:23. After a few weeks of this, I'll have medians established for each day and I'll know how disappointed to be.

I've decided to do [livejournal.com profile] scrollgirl's icon meme, because other than cutting and pasting some <IMG SRC=url> tags, there's not much for me to do. The entire onus is on you! Muahhahaha! So, go right ahead and tell me which of my icons are most representative of me, or which you like the best, or which you'd hope to never see again.

Up first, we have my original icon, a slightly doctored version of the Xavier Musketeers' logo:

cav

Soon after that, [livejournal.com profile] atpolittlebit was kind enough to send me Microsoft GIF Animator, and I made my Doyle icon.

glenn

In honor of the San Francisco ATPo dinner, I immortalized [livejournal.com profile] fresne, [livejournal.com profile] cwx and [livejournal.com profile] masqthephlsphr (with a little behind the camera help from [livejournal.com profile] anneth), among others.

crazy

My well-travelled demonic ego has always needed an icon of its own. I gave it one in June.

d'Horrible

You know, I never officially gipped the next one, but I think it tends to be a lot of people's favorite. Including, surprisingly, [livejournal.com profile] scrollgirl. I'd prove that, but none of my friends who like Spike would be able to see the thread!

god/not god

I liked my answer to the Subatomic Particle Quiz so much that I stole its (conveniently 100 pixel by 100 pixel) picture for my own uses.

Higgs Boson

This next icon, and its kin, did not take off like the wildfire for which I had hoped. When Bush steamrollers to victory in November because not enough of you used the subliminal campaigning techniques and the Democrats got desperate and nominated Pauly Shore, do not blame me.

Wesley Clark (subliminal)

[livejournal.com profile] oyceter liked a graphic I made well enough that I was emboldened to iconize it. Of course, from a legitimate point of view, it's blasphemy. Not that that would stop me.

Evolutionary Psychology

Now here's a handsome looking guy. How come he doesn't have a fandom as big as the one for, say, Grima Wormtongue?

Me

[livejournal.com profile] lynnmonster made this next one for me. It relates to some inside joke I never really understood.

Morbid (by lynnmonster!)

A little bit of Futurama love for the next one. It doesn't really work all that well, though.

Hypnotoad

And, for now finally, an icon specifically requested by [livejournal.com profile] masqthephlsphr. She has, however, 40 icons, so I wasn't sure she'd give it the prominence I felt it deserves, so I kept a copy for myself. I'm greedy that way.

Eowyn (made for Masq but selfishly kept)

I'm tempted to go through [livejournal.com profile] rahael's icons too, as I made all save one, but I will spare you!

More power to me, baby!

Last week I nagged Sheri and Little Bit into doing the Layer memes, even though they didn't want to, today I arm-wrestled Masq into doing the Angel episode ranking meme, and now I bring the insidious icon meme into our circle! W00t!

I do like the "Not God" icon, though I don't necessarily agree with that last bit about not believing. But I like the Joss Not God thing. And your Evolutionary Psychology is pretty funny in an astounding, oh my poor virgin eyes kind of way ;)

Actually, that icon, and your default and your photo icons are the ones I most closely associate with you, d'H. Though I think all of them are recognisably yours -- unlike many of my icons, which are shared by half the Stargate SG-1 fandom!

Obviously I like the one that I made for you, and the Wesley-Clark icon is all kinds of clever and funny ... but I admit to having a soft spot for d'Horrible, which I think must be my favorite.

If I was to be brutally honest, I would say that I would prefer a less cartoony font (and overly bright font colors) for the No Man Can Kill Me icon, muchly because I think it should be a perfect icon. Yeah I know it's the Buffy font, but it was used to write one word in the title screen, it's not really intended for whole sentences! Um, just had to get that off my chest. I'm sure you won't take it too hard. ;)

The one I associate most with you: the Musketeer.

Other ones I like a lot: God/not God, d'Horrible, and of course, Eowyn!

Reading this made me realize that I have been secretly admiring almost all your icons for a long time. "Admiring" in the sense of "coveting," except that they would make no sense at all if I were to use them.

Favourites: Doyle, Go/NotGod, ThinkingAboutDeath (for obvious reasons), and the "handsome looking guy" with the artful Photoshop filters. Oh, and I LOVED the subliminal icon idea but for some reason didn't feel empowered to act on it. I shall rectify that immediately; if I didn't already think I was going to support Dean, the recent round of RNC-sponsored crap about his wife would have put me firmly in his camp (if only to annoy the anti-feminists).

Most representative of you: The Higgs Boson one, followed by the ones listed above as "favourites"....

Icons madness

Well besides the fact that I think you have some of the most interesting and poster relevant icons I've seen...

my favorites are:
The frog
the evolutionary/psychology - makes me giggle
the musketeer
and the news radio/god one

The one I think fits you?
fourway tie of D'Horrible, the god one, the frog and the musketeer.

Hee! I love the copulating fish. I'd never seen that one before. It rules. The one that instantly makes me think of you though is a gimme. I see that expressive face and bang, "d'Herblay" springs to mind.

I refer of course to the frog.
