One thing I really like to do is make MST icons. When I first stumbled across this board, I became as giddy as a hyperactive fangirl because both Robyn and Queenie use icons I've made. Nothing makes me happier! I post everything in batches of at least ten over at this LJ community. However, if you want to just sift through everything, then you can raid my Photobucket folder made JUST for my MST icons. Of course, the further back you go, the more I start twitching and cringing, so don't make fun of me based on my early work. ._.; These are my personal favorites (for some random reason or another) and a little sample of stuff: If you have any icon requests, fire 'em off! This is the kind of stuff I like to do, so I'd be glad to help you out. ;3 I swear, I better have this posted in the right board.

I grabbed your "wooh, sandwich !" . . for now. ( Must return quickly to "Ween-a-fied"/ Redrum Crow ) The sandwich one certainly has a lot of motion, for a still ! Have you also enjoyed mine ? . . . Hmm ??

As Joel would say, "Oh wow...."
LOVE the pimp robe one, as well as the first with Joel and the 'Bots just shaking their heads. So cute! The Mike going psycho one is also going to be stolen by me...hee hee!
Great work!

Is this an actual quote from a host segment or something? I like it, but I don't remember hearing that line.

Oh, okay, figured it was something like that - I've only seen that episode once, and it was ages ago.

I must be honest *pouts pathetically with trembling lower-lip* . . . I've realized here that Katana's arrival and icons n' all has been embraced by us all ( me included ), but it kind'a makes my stuff in my Music From Some Guys In Space thread look like a sad little town that the highway left in the past. *sniff* I guess. . . . *choke* . . . that you kids are just . . . . *gasp* . . . on a more modern wavelength then Big & Stoopid . . . . *shakes* . . . . . . me ! You know I'm only 97% serious, right ? Sure, I got a couple nice "reviews", and even if Capt. Hy surprised me by not commenting on "Sieg Heil Everybody . . . Sieg Heil", I can take satisfaction in simply moderating while you "kids of today" entertain each other. Yeah ! . . . . that's enough for me.

My Photoshopping ability comes from the fact that I've been messing with it since seventh grade. Five years later, I'm still going at it, and I plan to keep going at it for a long time because I've decided to study visual communication (fancy name for "graphic design") when I go to college. It's called "a misspent youth". :\

Nah, My impulse to go all "pouty for attention" was about 37% genuine for maybe 6 seconds. But as a bit ?? . . now there I saw big fun potential. And yet, lookit the lame-ass routine I spooled out !
I've known P-Shop a whole 2 years now, but having been an "expresser of arty stuff" since . . . . well . . twice yer' lifetime, P-Shop and such are merely new tools for the same ol' hands.
It's fun when it's Fun !

Haha, I've actually been a fan of your MST icons long before I ever joined this board. Anytime I'd search "MST3k icon" on Photobucket, I would always notice yours. :]
Just out of curiosity...what program do you use to animate your icons?

That puts me into the "dies of happiness" mood, you know? Thank you! *weeps tears of joy* *shot for being a ham sandwich* Well...most of my animated icons are movie-captures. To do that, I use a program called CamStudio [which is free], which essentially captures movement on the computer screen. Once I've got the movie, I open it up in another program, MovieToAGif [moar free], which, well, converts videos to .gif animations. Then I open up the .gif in Adobe ImageReady, which came bundled with Photoshop [so not free], and do whatever I need to...crop, resize, text, etc. My animations are kept to whatever I captured, since, as far as I know, if you wanted to apply a filter to the whole set, you'd have to do each layer/frame. Considering a long one can run for 50+ frames... *snaps out of graphic land* This was a longer explanation than you needed, huh? XD

Haha, that's not too long at all. ^^
I'm always looking for new graphics tools to use, so that actually helps a lot. The only thing is that since I have a school laptop, there are about a million blocks on it, including ones that bar me from installing new software. :[ Sooo, I'll just have to wait awhile 'til I get a computer that is fully my own.
Thank youuu. :]

Aww, love these new ones.
The one where Joel is having a massive Movie-sign spazz attack makes me so happy inside. 8DDD

May I make a request? Could someone make me some icons from the episodes "I Accuse My Parents" and "Being from Another Planet"? (Two of my favorites) Any help would be most appreciated!

Merururughh...oh hello thread o' mine... I need to sit down with a boxset, pop it in the lappy, and just have a field day. But for right now, I'm going to throw these at'cha... 1.) 2.) 3a.) 3b.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 1.) It was 3am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I'm not sure why I was still awake - maybe it was 'cause I was talking to the lamers on the west coast. And I was in the basement. I guess it's an accompaniment to this one.2.) Robyn-request. Robyn, I've tweaked it *very* slightly from the one you have - the "p" was cut off and it bothered the hell outta me. 3a./3b.) I'll be honest, the reason I fell for Trace was because of that silly thing I'm writing, but then I reaquainted myself with the actual man and realized that yes, he is as awesome as I made him out to be. XD 4.) loldarkstar 5.) More loldarkstar 6.) Freaks and Geeks!Trace. IN A SWEATER VEST AFGJKADJ;AF ahem. 7.) This one is best described as "death by Traceleg". That is all. I'm working on making my animations more LJ-acceptable. I'm going to go through my old ones and see if they can trimmed down...I know some can't, but some might be able to be saved. And stuff. Yeah. ... *goes to watch Mighty Jack again*

Love this new batch. Especially #2! I might just snag it for my own personal collection. ;D
Something that I really like about your icons is the timing of the animated ones. That might sound kind of nit-picky and obsessive, but many of the icons I see on LJ and other places would be great, except that the timing of the transitions just throws off the whole thing.

Again, another lovely bunch! :3
I'm snagging the "Merr" one, because the idea of a cranky Joel is adorable. :D
