Christine icons

I was enjoying the many great pics posted in the 'Through the Decades' thread, and decided there should be some icons. I'm not much of an icon maker, so I can't provide many, but hopefully we'll be able to get a fair collection. I've asked Lux to consider making some because her icons are always great (and produced en masse). (http://www.livejournal.com/users/looking_glass/)

Here's one I made now as a starter.

(I know she doesn't have brown eyes - I just like the song!)

Hey, Joe. Nice to see you.

I agree -- more Chris icons is a wonderful idea.

I just checked out Lux's....wow. Very nice indeed.

Wow, those are pretty neat. but what do people do w/ them? I'm really out of touch; i just have no clue.....

Interesting. I'd like to wallpaper a wall of my home w/ those Ralph Fiennes pics...mmm he's delicious.

Thanks Joe! Love the Brown Eyes one!

So, Lux, are you going to do more Christine?

I love your Beatles icons, by the way.

I love Joe's Brown Eyes icon. I hope we'll get some more.

And since I'm a huge Beatles fan, I loved those Beatles Help icons on Lux's site. Very well done.

that is one stunning icon!

how do you make them? because i would realy like to but have no idea how

I think you need to use Photoshop or a similar program for starters. I did once upon a time make my icons in MS Paint .. they sufficed but were pretty dodgy.

As for actually using those programs, for me its just trial and error

I'll probably just depict her in the wrong manner but there is more hope than when the task is shipper icons.

These are my first posts over here incidently.....it's all blue. Indeed.

Lux hang with us more often. We smoke weed and drink lots of red wine. We don't wear chiffon and we go out in jeans.
