HaHA!  It's all coming back to me now… sort of.  I had completely forgotten about Hue/Saturation.  Oh, what a difference it makes!  Now I want to go back and touch up some previous icons… might do, might do.

Thanks, Ashley!  I've got one more animation in the works.  Must play with it more!

Alright, have NO idea what the hell possessed me to even try…

But I decided to see if I could make a FTB smiley. I'm not a Browncoat or anything (not that it's a bad thing, mind you, I've just never seen Firefly), but it's a cool saying.

Anyway, basically traced a frame from last week's ep when Castle & Esposito FTB'd and this is what I got… the whole process took about 20 minutes.

I'm absolutely terrible at drawing hands, and I drew this with the trackpad on my Macbook, no tablets. Not that I have one anyway, lol.

Whipped this up real quick in Photoshop. I used the pencil tool for the outlines, painted under the hands with the brush tool and then merged the two. Put in a white background and added FTB text so it doesn't look like a wildly horrific animal attack or something. 

I'm not ecstatic about how it came out, but I've never done anything like it before so I thought I'd give it a go.
More animations from last night's ep are coming… this weekend or possibly sooner! Bounce2

I was wondering how long it would take before someone would come up with one of those? wink

It looks great, Ashley.  Nicely done!

Luna, can't wait to see what you come up with!  And thanks!

Hehe. Hopefully someone will pick up the torch and make an even better one wink

Glad you approve, Jess! Cool

Anyway, here are a few more I've done in the past couple of hours…

Bounce LOVE Guitar Hero, I'll bet Nathan had so much fun with that. I love how they let him be a big kid, not too much to a stretch is it? LOL

Let me tell you something about crazy people. The sex is unbelievable.

Awesome! Love that first one, haha poor Castle! :P

Tough choice though, do what I do, switch em around all the time! Laugh

I'm in the process of making some icons (non-animated, shockingly enough), and they should be up sometime this weekend wink

Thanks, Ashley!  Yeah, maybe I will use the 1st one… or the 3rd one.  Can't I have 2 or 3 at once?!  Lol.

I made some more non-animated ones, too.  I just wasn't so excited about how any of them came out, I guess… maybe I'll post a few.

Can't wait to see yours- always love 'em!  I like your current one, too!  Very clever. wink
