Have now updated [livejournal.com profile] iconzero with Buffy icons/banners/wallpapers, Battlestar Galactica icons/banners, and Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 icons/banners. Each post has 70+ icons. And I'm sick of posting and trying to strike the right balance between promoting my icons and being obnoxious. Arrgh.

Still to go: miscellaneous TV shows (Alias, Arrested Development, Bones, Heroes, SPN, Torchwood, Veronica Mars), Fantasy Movies (HP, LotR, Narnia), Cartoons/Comics (Disney, Flight series, X-Men), Action/Crime Movies (Dirty Harry, Infernal Affairs, Ocean's 11), and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Roughly in that order, because I still have Action/Crime and DS9 icons I need to finish. Which means I'll probably not post those until 2010, sigh.

Also, I really like this Elizabeth icon I made, though I'll probably change my mind about it in like ten minutes. But it has orange! And green! And greyscale! Also, I suck at coming up with words to put on icons. I wanted something other than her name, but it couldn't be longer than like three words, so.

And I thought I'd give you guys the heads-up about some new weekly icontests so you can go join them and make icons: [livejournal.com profile] lantis_icontest for Stargate Atlantis (run but the lovely [livejournal.com profile] jenniferjensen) and [livejournal.com profile] deepspacestills (which you should join because OMG DS9!). All the icontests I am a member of are listed on my journal sidebar in case you're interested in ones for other fandoms.

Also, I really like this Elizabeth icon I made, though I'll probably change my mind about it in like ten minutes. Took one look at that icon and thought: ooh, where did you get that beauty? Even before I finished reading this post, I was dashing to your userpics page. It's a wonderful icon. May I snag, sweets? :)

And like you, I think some other text would be cool... but I can't think of anything (*headdesk*).

Of course you can snag it. After I was done with it, I actually sat back and thought, "hmm, this looks like something [livejournal.com profile] shadowserenity would like." So I'm glad you do!

And yeah, words on icons, they are so hard. I had put "leader" on it at one point but it looked... lame. (But both were better than the original, which just said WEIR in a much larger font... which, as you can imagine, looked stupid.) I think I'm getting better at using text than I used to be (though I have this unnatural addiction to Futura Condensed in white with a drop-shadow), but I still can't choose words any better.

Oh, you're an absolute sweetheart for thinking of me! :)

*snags* *beams*

Oi, yes, I'm *horrible* with text, too. I can't decide on anything. I either come up with something poetic sounding which doesn't fit on the icon or I think of "leader" or "queen" etc.
