sholio: blue and yellow airplane flying (Biggles-Biplane)
I had a request for some Biggles icons ... so here they are, all available for the taking! There are some general biplane icons, a few quotes, and some icons made from cover art. I do want to make more quote icons (probably over cover image art like the "Hark!" one) but decided to post what I had finished tonight. Feel free to nominate any particularly amusing and/or characteristic quotes you might like to see on an icon.

Also, please let me know if anything displays weird. The site I used to use to generate icon-viewing code no longer exists, so I copied it out of an older icon post and updated the text.

sholio: smug-looking guy in 1800s period costume (Alienist-Laszlo 1)
[personal profile] sovay found some, in case anyone is looking for any!

Very beautifully colored icons of all the mains (including the Isaacsons!) in a multifandom icon post.

Large icon sets of Sara, John, and Laszlo (from whence this one came)
sholio: Harry from The Flash looking cute (Flash-Harry)
Everything is still Flash around here. I wanted a Harry icon and I couldn't find any that I liked, so I made some.

sholio: Red ball with snow (Christmas ornament)
Posting at least as much for my own benefit as for others ... but I wanted more Christmas icons than the ones I had, so I went on a hunt, and found some absolutely beautiful ones linked from [livejournal.com profile] christmasicons.

Ornaments in different colors
Ornaments, cookies, miscellaneous

And I want to be able to find them again if I want more. It's getting harder to find icons than it used to be.

I really need to get some decorations up around here ...

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] leesa_perrie has some Christmas icons too, if anyone is interested! Links to more in the comments.
sholio: Sousa and Thompson from Agent Carter (Avengers-Sousa Thompson)
... so I went to make myself another Agent Carter icon or two last night, and ended up with ... a lot more than one or two. Oops.

(Also, man, the show's general darkness/murkiness wasn't something that I particularly noticed until I started brightening screencaps for icons. Then, all of a sudden, this whole brilliant palette of 1940s comics colors emerged. Why did they cover it up with such dim lighting?)

Anyway, feel free to take any of these that you like. Credit is very much appreciated. Textless icons can be used as bases. Icons come from all 8 episodes, so there are some spoilers.

sholio: sun on winter trees (BH-Mitchell flashback moody)
I set out to make myself more Being Human icons, but I made so many that I can't possibly need them all, so I wanted to share. ^_^ There's lots of Mitchell, quite a bit of Annie, and some George and group icons. (George, I swear I don't love you any less! I'll make it up to you later!)

28 icons - mostly from episodes 5 & 6 - contains some SPOILERS )

sholio: sun on winter trees (SGA-Game-John-look)
[livejournal.com profile] sga_talk is a new(ish) community for critical discussion of SGA fanfics. I happen to love that sort of thing, and the first discussion seems to be off to a good start, and roaming into tangential discussions of Sheppard's personality and the role of Wraith in the series. Tangents are fun!

On a random side note, I've been messing with my icons lately -- my early icons are pretty blurry, and I've been trying to sharpen them up and make them look better. In the process, I've made some interesting discoveries about how LJ handles icons that might be of interest to those of you out there who haven't already discovered this (and for all I know, 99% of the LJ-going public got there before me *g*).

Most of us have probably noticed that when you delete an icon, it vanishes from all discussions where it was used, and is replaced with your default icon. But here's the interesting part. Based on my experimentation, what LJ apparently uses when it "finds" an icon is the Keyword(s) that you've given it. Therefore, if you delete an icon and re-upload it, all you have to do is give it the same keywords as the old one, and it'll replace the old one in all the places you've used it.

On the flip side (and I tried this, just to see), if you change the keywords, LJ will lose its "link" to that icon in previous discussions where it's been used. This is useful to know if you go changing your keywords around -- you'll end up with your default icon in a lot of old posts. (You can always change them back after-the-fact, though!)

This strikes me as being especially useful for those of us who try to keep our icons under the default limit. (I know at some point I'm going to have to buy more, but I haven't yet.) It means that, as long as your keywords are suitably vague, you can swap out icons at will without it screwing up any journal posts where you've used those icons. For example, you can have a "WTF?" icon and change it to a new fandom when you drop out of your old one. You can have a Christmas icon and keep it on all your Christmas posts while changing it as the mood strikes you.

Or, in my case, you can fix blurry, dull icons and have no one be the wiser ... unless you tell them, of course. *g*
