Moar icons!
I'll show you guys the bacon bandaids I'm thinking of getting my vegetarian sister for Christmas in my next post. For now, suffer while I dump another load of . . . no not that! It's more LUCIUS! This time I covered the 'digestive' moods like hungry and full and thirsty, along with a host of other ones. Yes, even 'WTF' and 'facepalm.' Facepalm was tricky. See I gave Luce a little teeny body and for him to stretch his little biddy arm all the way up to smack his own forehead took a lot of energy on his part. So much so, I fear he snapped himself in the cazones when his rubber-like arm recoiled back into position like a released slingshot, first socking his balls before returning to its normal volume and proportions. Please think of him whenever I use that icon. These drawings do not come without some sacrifice, you know.





Cold, calm and cynical




Nauseated, hot and embarrassed (possibly constipated, though I can't imagine myself sharing that with my poor flist)




Sore, wft and facepalm. It's called 'squash and stretch' people. It's an animation technique. Work with me here.




Tired, hungry and full. Yes Lucius likes a good burger just like the rest of us and he'll never say no to fries if none of his buddies are watching. But you can see his manners remain despite the roughneck meal. See how daintily he dabs his mouth clean? Class all the way.




Thirsty and laughing. Yes he ordered the Super Tanker with that burger.


*whew* and after all that can you believe I still don't have them (the available moods) completely covered yet? Even with doubling or tripling up on similar emotions, I haven't even touched stuff like 'apathetic' or 'crazy' or 'busy' or 'bouncy' yet! Yeesh.

I love these! Absolutely wonderful. The dainty napkin dab is perfect. Are you taking commissions because I have a pair of lovely elves who need their own icons??!!

Not right now no. But that doesn't mean I won't in the near future (after Nano maybe?) so let me hear about these elves!

Oh yay!!! If you decide to do this and when you're ready let me know. We can talk price, and you'll never get me to shup up about the elves!! Woot!

I have to figure out how to do these at some point, when I have the time...these are excellent! :)

BTW, if it were me, the 'full' icon would have had him burping a la Calvin & Hobbes (you know, the distorted mouth look), but then again, that's me. :p

Oh yeah--but that Luce I made sort of canon. I thought about it though and Calvin's belches came to mind immediately! I did distort his mouth some on the 'tired' where he sticks his lips out on the 'whew!'

Now I feel like I've betrayed one of my favorite cartoonists :p

That's cool, they came out great anyway! I just have a whole bunch of thumbnail sketches of drawings I've done that really should be mood icons, I just have to figure out how to make them such. I'm sure they have a link somewhere on the LJ site, right?
barlidoc From: [info]barlidoc Date: September 23rd, 2007 01:15 am (UTC) (Link)
Basically just click on 'customize journal' from the main page, then select 'look and feel' tab. If you scroll down a little, you'll see a link for custom mood icons. From there you give your icon set a name, then start inserting URL's in the blanks it gives you under each mood.

Aha! I knew it was somewhere in there! I'll have to sketch up some drawings and scan them in at some point. (Yeah, I'd do Photoshop or something like that, but I'm too cheap to buy it. :p )

Thanks for pointing that out! :)

No one knows he sneaks out to the local Mc Donalds drive thru late at night

And I love that userpic! How did you get it? All I find for myself are stills.
