First Stab at Icons :)

[ohbooth]

Okay, putting them under a cut, and I am kinda freaking out about 'sharing' them anyways, cause this is the first time I have made icons 'the right way' as far as I know, with the dimensions being exact.

Okay, so I went a little nuts and couldn't decide which 'angle' to use, so I made variations on them, and I know a couple will be probably just for me, but oh well :) Was so giddy I got them to 'work' had to share! :)

1. Please credit me if you take them, that would be soooo awesome :D

2. ANY and ALL comments/criticism welcome, even if you think they are horrid, I can take it, I mean, I in NO WAY claim to be good at this since it is my first go.

3. Want/Take/Have...LOL, always wanted to say that, okay sorry...They are uploaded to PB, so you can use this link (I think, I don't know what hotlinking is, so if someone wants to explain it to me, I may change this)

4 HELP! :) I want to add text and stuff eventually, but when I use the 'text box' in paint, it makes the space white around the words, so it doesn't work. Any of you pro icon makers are welcome to share the wisdom! :)

5. ENJOY :D

Sorry for the complete randomness :P I wanted to do certain ones, but I got distracted by the pretty when I was looking for pics I wanted to do, and saw a bunch I thought would be great, hence the 'all over the board'

[1] - Promo of Ruby
[2] - [6] are from Magnificent Seven (and because I miss Ruby with Curly hair sometimes)
[7] - [8] Malleus Maleficarum & Jus In Bello Beaten Ruby
[9] - [12] Made because of the beautiful pic insaneboingo posted in her LJ
[13] - [15] Made with asaneismrnuts in mind
[16] Pretty much made for me :P I love her and hockey! And she is a REAL fan, so yeah...
[17] - [30] Jeffrey Dean Morgan as 'The Comedian'

 
Forgot these, sorry:
[1] JDM from The Accidental Husband
[2] JDM and Bisou
[3] JDM from InStyle Mag

Alright, lay it on me people! Let me know what you think (besides the fact that I am too fickle and made WAY to many from that "Comedian" picture)

I'd say they're very good first icons.
Well done!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Really?! YAY! *twirls* Thanks so much! :)

[supermars.livejournal.com]

Yes! Mine weren't nearly as good when I started. I got the cropping all wrong.
Keep practicing and trying out things. It's the best advice I could give.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will, it is addictive! But I have no clue with the text yet, thanks god, I would never leave my computer!!

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Do you know that i just saved your icons? You did a GREAT great work, hun

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

No! Really?!!?!?! OMG! Okay, I am literally doing a happy dance now! :) Oh, and don't you worry, Sam and Dean are next, just to many pictures to choose from! (this making icons thing is addictive)
Thanks! *hugs*

Feeling all special like!

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

Huney you ROCK my socks! oh wait I'm not wearing any and it sounds sorter strang to say that you rock my tights LOL.

Either way - Julia and George or Tess and Danny really are one of my fave things in the world.

Oh and Hun sorry about getting you hooked - call it payback from that fun little obsession you spawned in me last summer. ;)

Re: Feeling all special like!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Well damn! It is all your Mom's fault! And really,, now I am just gonna bombard you with icons, so it's a win-win-Winchester ;)

Glad you like your goodies! Had to do it when I saw the pic, I was like *sigh*b aww...McVomit!

Hey, isn't that your tall man in the back of my icon, I swear, Ruby has MAJOR stealth!

Re: Feeling all special like!

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

I LOVE WIN-WIN-WINCHESTERS!

Yeah lets blame my Mum - but really I don't mind so much because look at the pretty!

Oh Ruby has stealth out the wazoo! She really could teach those boys a thing or two.

Re: Feeling all special like!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Yup, stealth, how to kick ass, how NOT to become the damsel in distress, how to win a war...she could be handing out tons of lessons to the boys!

Hey, did you ever see my icon I got from that friend of mine I was telling you about? Here is the dean version, she hasn't finished the Sammy version yet :)

Re: Feeling all special like!

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

that icon is cracking me up! They really in need of that class about not being damsels in distress. Poor boys!

Oh and turns out it IS my parents lame ass computer that's messing up the coloring of my icons because they look perfectly goodish here at work.

Re: Feeling all special like!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

ahh, well see, you are kicking ass then! *kicks lame computer* LOL, Uh-oh, don't tell your parents I did that :D

And yeah, they really do need a crash course in that! Cause if I am right, and Kripke is as good with the angst as I think, Ruby ain't gonna be around forever to save their hot little asses!

[jensenfanchile.livejournal.com]

You did a great job ^_^

I took this one for my user images: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii186/OhBooth/My%20Icons/JeffDog_OhBooth.png I will get you the credit ^_^

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

And YAY! So glad you like enough to take! :) Thanks so much for the comment

[insaneboingo.livejournal.com]

Nice job, darling. ^__^

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) Did you see the ones I made outta that Milla pic? It was such a good picture!

Oh, and where is the SPAM? I distinctly remember the threat of SPAM earlier today :P

[insaneboingo.livejournal.com]

well I posted a picspam. Does that count? LoL

And yes, I saw. They're gorgeous

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

I guess I will let ya slide with the pics ;)

Especially the kind of pics they are! Holy crap woman you trying to kill me?!

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

These are so fantastic hon, I love them, you did an amazing job!!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

No where NEAR as great as yours, but thanks! Wow, I didn't think they were 'fantastic' that is just...wow! Thanks so much sweetie!

[gibozzo.livejournal.com]

These are great. Well done!
That first one of Ruby is sensational. As are the ones of Mila Jojovic (I'm almost certain I've spelt that wrong.)

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

aww, thanks! So happy you think they are good, yeah, the pic of Milla was fantastic

[ramoniciu.livejournal.com]

First icons yeah? Congratulations! They look beautiful for your first try. You should have seen mine.....:)

Hope to see more in the future.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Thank You so much, that means a lot, cause yours are amazing. I want to do more, but I don't know how too 'add' stuff to them and I don't want them to be boring and plain

[ramoniciu.livejournal.com]

Well, you don´t have to add anything on them.......a lot of my favorit icons are very simple. But if you want you can of course add some brushes or textures on them and add some text. :)

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

That's the problem, I can't figure out text in the programs I use. LOL,

[ramoniciu.livejournal.com]

:)

First of all, you need a new program. LOL
I heard a lot of good things about the program GIMP which is free i think. You should google it and see if it´s something for you.

As for your problem with Paint! I hope you mean the same Paint i have on my computer too. So i just looked and i think i figured it out. If you want to write something then you click on the big "A". Then, a little bit down you´ll find 2 small boxes with small geometric figures. One is so that the background is filled with color when you write something and one is so that the background is transparent. This one you have to choose and then the white box behind your text disappears. Here is also a pic i made so that it is more clear what i mean.

Well, like i said........i hope this is the right program i descriebed now. :)

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

OMG! YOU are a GENIUS!!! :) You seriously kick ass! THAT was totally my problem! I didn't have any clue what those two boxes were! Thanks so much!

And yeah, I need to check it out, thanks for the tip, you are so nice!

[ramoniciu.livejournal.com]

You´re welcome! I´m glad i could help you out.
I personally, i use Photoshop......but i heard from a lot of people who can´t buy Photoshop that Gimp should be very good.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Wow, there are a lot of options on there (just finished DLing GIMP), I have no clue where to start!

Looks like it's gonna be a project! :)

[sunnychrisla.livejournal.com]

Wow.. good work for the first time!!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Really? Thanks :D I am trying to find out how to do them 'properly' cause at the moment, they are kinda primitive LOL, using like three separate programs, one to cut, one to save and one to size.

[sunnychrisla.livejournal.com]

Before I had Photoshop, I also worked with various programs. And I hate my first works *lol*, but yours look really good. xD

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Ahh, so you use photoshop? I need to find something that I can do everything in, cause this three step think is time consuming LOL, and thanks, I am so happy that they look okay for my first time!

[bonbonschnecke.livejournal.com]

OMG JDM looks so funny in the comedian! *LOL* Wonderful work! Love the Ruby icons!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) And yes he looks so funny!
