Jooster!Hug icon

[ninebox.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I'm new to the fandom and new to the community. I was browsing the indeedsir archives and found a simply topping old post with two marvellous scenes that magegirl8 made in Photoshop: http://community.livejournal.com/indeedsir/130759.html

Well, upon perusing her fellow Joosterites' comments to the archival matter, it became apparent that this paragon of Photoshop had given her permission to iconise her images for userpics (with the sensible caveat that the iconiser grant her due credit for the pic), but to my disappointment, further perusal of the community didn't yield a single result in the icon department. I mean to say, while there are plenty of icons in general, the aforesaid icon hasn't been iconised, or rather the picture hasn't. Or hadn't, since I promptly took it upon myself to do the job.

Now I'm not one of those brainy coves who can make an image sit up and dance a la magegirl8, but I don't think I flatter myself too much to say that the old ninebox whatsit can turn out a pretty serviceable userpic when the occasion calls. I snipped, sized, and promptly snaffled the thing up for my own userpic. But the truly spiffing thing about the Internet is that every Tom, Dick and Harry can do the same thing without using up one jot of aforementioned icon, so I can share it about with nary a qualm. Quite the thing if I could pull off the same trick with the old g. and t., what? I'd be the toast of the Drones. Still, I suppose it's just as well, as I know several fellows whose livers wouldn't survive the debacle.

I appear to have wandered myself some way off the topic at hand, to wit, magegirl8's absolutely top-notch pic., or rather, pic.-cum-icon :

It's not much of an offering, but there it is. Enjoy!

Toodle-pip!
