Icon Meme!

Ganked from tsu-chan55. Because I Like That Sort of Thing.

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.

It's my default user pic! Actually, it's the Dark Knight version of my default userpic, as vandalised by randomredux. The green lady used as the base is me in that "har har look ma I'm drawing" kind of way that nothing I draw actually ever looks like me. I don't really have green hair and lips in real life, just in case you were curious. Also, the Joker is luff (in that "oh gods I'm glad he's not real" kind of way).

Johnny Depp in From Hell. This was originally a dA icon, which is why it's so small. It's also the first animated icon I made from a video. I'm sure there's a better process than the one I use to do this, which kinda involves taking screenshots every frame or so, pasting them into PhotoShop and exporting the sequence through ImageReady. Still, whatever works.

The thing about Loki, see, is that he doesn't sleep; it's one of the biological functions he "lost" after his time in The Cave. He occasionally mentions that he gets tired, but I don't think I've ever gone into the mechanic of what he does instead of sleeping; instead just kinda writing it off as Magic God Voodoo. The image used for this icon is called, IIRC, "Not to Sleep But To Dream". It's done in Derwent Artist's pencils on brown paper. I used to work on it when I was idling in AV earning Frostwolf rep.

You know, I don't think I've ever actually used this icon. I need to get into more flame wars or something. Also: Snape rules, Happy Potter sucks. (Then Snape also sucked when he got that really lame backstory… but la la la mental retcon.)

Apollo from The Authority. I ganked this one off severedscythe like a billion years ago. I think it's mandatory that I have a "WTF?"-style icon for every fandom I have icons for. I have similar ones for Warcraft, the DCU and Smallville. I guess there's just a lot of WTF on the internet that needs iconising.

Oh Lex, you're so bad! This one was made by sluggirl and stolen from scans_daily. And that's terrible is one of those phrases I try and slot into every day conversation as much as possible. Unfortunately, it's not quite as multi-purpose as my other all-time favourites, WRONG! (Superman Returns), Fail! (the bastard child of Lex Luthor and /b/), It's true, it's true. (one of Kurt Angle's old WWE catchphrases) and That's right. ("Stutter Rap").

This is toddler Jenny Quantum from one of the Lobo/Authority crossovers; I conveniently forget which one. I love these books not so much for the stories but for the totally off-the-wall art. Our dear friend Jenny here, for example, is, in fact, Singaporean. Midnighter pops up looking like a cross between Johnny Depp and an 80's glam rockstar (for the record, he's supposedly a redhead), and the stuff Angie does is… just amazing. So yeah, the art's crazy. But – in the same way that I love Sam Keith's similarly distinctive style – it works for me.

It says you're doing it wrong in Kryptonian. Because you never know when you might need such a helpful phrase. The official story is that I originally made the translation for a UIP-verse futurefic fragment in which Kal-El attempts to teach Bruce how to use Kryptonian cutlery. The real reason is that translating memes was the whole reason I learnt Kryptonian in the first place…

By wastednickel. I don't really have a story for this one, only that, a) this song is the best song in the universe, and b) grammar is srs bizness.

Made by sepiamagpie. This icon causes me extreme lulz because, well, it has vampires, homoerotiscism and blasphemy! It's like the Holy Trinity of Awesome, all wrapped up in one 100x100 pixel square. The image itself also drives me completely nuts on account of the fact that I want to know where the images comes from. Purple Shirt guy kind of looks like Tom Welling but I might be delirious… Either way, Jesus looks awfully intent on his groping there.

So. There you go.
