Like the Icon Says
Oct. 15th, 2007 12:57 pmCan someone tell me how to link directly to my livejournal images? Be GREAT. Cause this HTML thingy isn't working.
OKAY! Images at large. Lets start.
#1: Brent and the Pandas.
When I was first signing up for Livejournal, I needed a image that screamed at large who I was, or at least how crazy I could get. So, getting Jon to animate the image (something I've never succeeded at doing in Photoshop) he gleefully animated one of my favourite strips from PvP Online, which is one of my favourite webcomics.
#2: Axel the NINJ4
The pose, the free flowing badassery and the awesome that is Axel caused me to create this icon, coming off of a three-day binge of Dom and Junpei from Megatokyo. I had just read all four books over and over again.
#3: Jesus Throws Up The Horns
Arguably my celebratory image, the idea of the Lamb of Hosts throwing up the horns after winning a fighting game match was just too good to pass up. I'm a extremely liberal Christian, my religion bordering on Chaotic Insane, but growing up in a very religious household and private school for most of my life has skewed my views on Jesus. Enough that while I go to church, I also have the gumption to make fun of the things in life that make it all worth while. Jesus throwing up the horns? I can live with that.
#4: Sephipooh
When I first saw this image, I thought to myself: That is the best Penny Arcade image hands down. While I wish the text was a little more clear, the image of Pooh Bear trussed up as Sephiroth was too good to handle. I love the AA Milne stories, and I dearly love Pooh Bear. The thought of a bad-ass Pooh was just too good. That, and I had just gotten off BEATING Sephiroth in KH2 the day before, and was high on victory.
#5: The Omega Hare
I admit that I really need to redo this icon so much. The text got shrunk down to an unbearable glassy haze which I need to redo in Photoshop once I master its ridiculous intricacies. The story goes that I had been debating on trying out a new MMO for the sake of it, and was about to settle on Final Fantasy XI Online. That was BEFORE I heard horror story after horror story about how hard the game was early on. Monsters would devour your party, it would be bitch-hard to achieve anything of worth if you weren't high level and Bunny Rabbits would destroy you in the first area. I decided to stick with WoW after a short fling with LOTR Online.
For the record it says: "What are you doing? Help me! Cast a spell or something! HE IS THE RUINER OF WORLDS!"
#6: Robots in Appa Clothing
The idea came to me a while ago during a series of crack drabbles I was tinkering with for Avatar with the Transformers being in disguise all over the world; some of them even compacted into "squishie" shells. The idea of Ty Lee!Megatron actually spawned from this idea but more on that later. Basically the idea was that Optimus was Appa, forsooth known as Oappa-Prime. Then Rocker was kind enough to dig up an image which became my icon of Optimus in Robot Form outside of his Appa Shell. Much silly still resides in this world.
#7: I Know Kung Fu
The Library had some of Sokka's best lines, and I managed to find this image of him with book in hand, ready to smash in Won Shi Tong's head. Like a tiger, or Hobbes pouncing on his prey, Calvin, I decided to immortalize this situation. That, and Sokka's Master had yet to air, and justly I had no time or skill to edit an image of Sokka's sword crackling with electricity. Nth Metal Gags just won't go away.

#2: +50 Damage to Ankles
Everyone has short jokes once or twice in their life tossed at them or made by them. Edward Elric however is the epitome of short jokes, considering that the only person shorter is Gnomemagnus and he's a Gnome. I figure with a comparative size difference, short people get a +50 Damage Bonus to Ankles.
#3: Mokona's 108 Secret Skills: Create Crack!
Mokona is a crack generator and Tsubasa by the same extension. The little white manju bun really has it coming for his hilarity and otherwise Fai-based projectile as attributed in the series. That, and I figure somewhere, somehow, one of his 108 secret skills is "Generate Crack".
