Fanart Post
Oct. 1st, 2005 10:14 pmI know I haven't posted icons in forever... it's not that I've stopped, simply that I was honored by a bunch of art requests over at
the_fund and those took priority. I will be back to iconing soon (I've only got 1 more request to go! Yay!), but thought I'd post what I've been up to over there.

Date: 2005-10-02 03:22 am (UTC)-Fandoms you want included
-Characters/Ships you want included
-Size of Banner (if one of the sizes above is ok, that's cool)
-Color if you want it specified (or, colors you don't want - that's usually easier)
-links to pictures you'd like incorporated if you've got 'em

Date: 2005-10-02 04:19 am (UTC)1. Xander, Willow, and Wash (BtVS and Firefly)

3. Defiant, Deep Space Nine, and Serenity (DS9 and Firefly)
4. Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Archangel (X-Men)
5. Thor, Mjolnir, and APC's symbol. (Marvel Comics/Mythology and Tool/APC)
That's the stuff I really want included and have left off the really random stuff.

Date: 2005-10-02 05:02 am (UTC)Now, here's the bummer part... will you help me find graphics? Because I'm going to be crap at fnding good things for anything but Buffy. Depending on what we can find, it might be hard to fit the space-ships in (which is what I'm hoping you mean by all the things mentioned on #3... otherwise let me know how i'm confused). Everything else I think might be possible. And I'm willing to take a stab, so to speak ;)

Date: 2005-10-02 05:27 am (UTC)Some images to work with:
Defiant and Deep Space Nine (http://photobucket.com/albums/y77/aesiron/?action=view¤t=8fdb17e3.jpg) and Serenity (http://saxon1014.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ship.jpg)
Colossus (http://www.myhogan.com/exiles/dead/colosuss.jpg), Nightcrawler (http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~jmunro/Nightcrawler.jpg), and Archangel (http://www.freedesktopwallpapers.net/cartoons/archangel.jpg)
Thor holding Mjolnir aloft (http://www.marvel.com/wallpaper/papers/thor_85_800.jpg) and APC's symbol (http://img.hebus.com/2004/09/17/040917165214_72.gif)

Date: 2005-10-02 11:42 pm (UTC)I'll find some of Sisko, Kira, and Dax (added her too) later. You can find the Xander and Willow pictures if you want. You've probably got better resources for them than I do anyway.

Date: 2005-10-08 12:53 am (UTC)Sorry for the quality.. it was the best I could do.
WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-18 02:21 pm (UTC)However, Neil (who always gives me the final once over before I send out banners) says that it's too busy.
This is true.
It's purposefully that way (or intentionally).
But if it's *too* busy for you, let me know. I had another idea while I was falling asleep - it would be the same composition of the pictures, just using different stuff for the background/graphic-y kind of stuff.
Also, I hope you don't mind too terribly much, but i used RL pictures of the firefly crew - the drawings you linked to were AWESOME, but when putting everybody together, the drawings were a little hard to instantly recognize.
ok, enough prevarcating. Here, check it out:

Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-18 03:23 pm (UTC)If you want, you can try taking off the X-Men, Thor, APC, and the ships and just leave the characters from Firefly, DS9, and Buffy or would that still be too hard to put together?
Or you can try the second design you thought about. Either's fine.

and if this isn't quite there yet, let me know - i appreciate you treating me gently with the comments and stuff, but it's ok, I understand, because you're going to look at it every day. If these two aren't more in the ballpark, let me know and I'll take off the ones you mention above and we can go from there. *grin*
Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-19 06:28 am (UTC)Was your grouping of Wash, Xander, and Willow together intentional? Wash is the only character not alongside a castmate and they're all my favorites so I'm curious.
It'd probably be best to eliminate all the extraneous images I mentioned before but now I feel conflicted because I still want the X-Men included but they don't really fit with the theme. :p
Sorry I'm so indecisive.. I know it must be a little annoying even if you won't admit it. :)
Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-20 04:00 am (UTC)oh, and the groupings were based off of the original lists you gave me... willow, xander & walsh were all in your #1 row, so their images were all slightly bigger. Unf. I couldn't figure out a great way to put all of the ships in without making 'em small.. but i think you get the idea.
Ok, now, I've got two more. I like the second one best.
http://pics.livejournal.com/katekat1010/pic/0029e20d
http://pics.livejournal.com/katekat1010/pic/0029ff8r
and it's ok, although the more feedback you give me on what you'd like changed, the better chance it will work for you... otherwise i keep just going back to the drawing board....
hugs,
kate

Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-20 05:53 am (UTC)Is there any way you can delete Archangel, move Nightcrawler to the left of Aly so that he and Colossus bookend the actors and then take only the symbol from the APC logo, blow it up, put "aesiron@livejournal.com" where the band name is and center that new logo in the white expanse to the left of the banner?
Something like this (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/aesiron/2f33f2bf.jpg) but more integrated (with thicker parentheses) and as beautiful as the others. :)
The bar of images can go where the yellow is if you still want to try to incorporate DS9, Defiant, and Serenity. No Thor, though.

Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-21 03:05 am (UTC)I am thinking maybe something like this (http://photobucket.com/albums/y77/aesiron/e2225535.jpg) with Oz from BtVS and Ezri from DS9 added to the lineup and making each character sliver 50 pixels wide so that all ten will equal 500 pixels, exactly half of the banner.
The other half of the banner still needs spiced up a bit though.
Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-21 03:13 am (UTC)i understand the inclination to want things to be perfect. but just so you know, this next one will be the last one - and then you'll have the option to pick from 8 designs which one you like best.
Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-21 03:19 am (UTC)I wish there was some way I could thank you. Can you think of anything?
I'm actually blushing from embarassment as I type this.
Re: WOOT!
Date: 2005-10-22 06:59 am (UTC)you don't have to blush, seriously, this is all part of the whole crazy lookpy world of making graphics. *grin*

Date: 2005-10-22 06:55 am (UTC)and don't feel funny about asking for what you want: i asked for your specific imput, and that way you get something you want. And I let you know when I kind of hit my creative limit, so we're all good.
now, for the final design-type thing... here you go! enjoy!
