Free icons!

Hey, did you like the icons I linked to a few entries below? Todd is running another free icon day (although donations are more than welcome). Strike now before requests are closed. He made a comment on the other post about being interested in breaking 200 requests, now that would be a mass of icons. :}

Want another sample? A while back he asked for suggested Griffons and other animal mixes. Here are the 35 Mixed-Up Critters. I was the one to cruelly suggest blending a hummingbird and fox. *ebil grin*

Like my new-ish icon? Check out all the others.

Like the icon on this post? He's one of my characters in the Mars Academy RPG, Pithani the student and student-librarian. He's a pretty serious student although he can be playful (he is one of the youngest students on campus), but in the library he's a serious guy.

He was drawn as part of

djinni's 5th Free Icon Day. You can see more of his icon day work at his post Every Icon Day. Just be sure your computer is ready to load 623 icons. :}

And if you like those, check out his comics Ekwara, Crimson Flag which he does with

virmir and Dracula which is based on the Bram Stoker novel.

This is also a sign of how watching nifty people can lead you to other nifty people, as it was a post by the also quite nifty

haikujaguar that first pointed me in his direction.

(And how nifty, the first LJ spam comment that I've caught myself... DEE-LEET!)

Fun new icon

The eagle eyed may have noticed that my default user icon has changed a little. I recently downloaded Inkscape (free/open-source vector graphics program) and as a first bit of playing around loaded in my old icon and created a vector graphics version. Among other things this means that if LiveJournal ever adds svg as an option for user pic formats then my icon could potentially be scaled larger and smaller depending on your browsers zoom settings or the size of the space its placed in. For the current time however it has to be converted to a raster format. So it has been saved and uploaded in PNG format. If your browser is a decent one then it should have a transparent background.

Inkscape looks like it should be a fun program to play around with. For now though I need to get back to my JAVA homework.
