Mys got... something

[heavenlyxbodies]

So, I got deancas_xmas sent off, Arcana is with the beta, and merry_merthur is going nicely and I haven't gotten my assignment for merlin_santa yet, so yeah, good things. Only I think mys fried some braincells getting Arcana done because my brain just will not stay focused on writing!!!! When this happens I wind up doing absent-minded stuff instead, like play incessant hours of Freecell and SpiderSolitare, or maybe some Canasta- what I'm a geek, I know this. Anyway, this time, I decided to finally get a working copy of Diablo IIe on Cas... which was surprisingly easy considering I've never used virtual drives before, what's more, I got my old charries back! What, geek remember, I may not be computer savvy, but I know a character data file when I see one, lol. Yeah, so that monster slain I decided to see if I could actually suss installing new brushes and textures into my GIMP... I was on a roll, lol. So, logically I decided to aim for getting GAP installed into GIMP- I ave had oodles of issues with this in the past (mainly because the comp I was using was a bit ANCIENT and not Cas). Well, yup, got it up and running and I think I even understand a tiny bit of it.
All that is to say I've been playing with GIFs, lol. Crappy ones, I know, but everybody's gotta start somewhere, yeah? And now I am going to torment any of you who dare to look behind the cut with crappy GIFs and icons (and a couple not so crappy icons)!!!!!!

My first successful work with installed textures! :}

Scruffy Colin is pretty.

And ya know how I'm always on about the pauldron, well, I am on Twitter anyway, well, I finally managed to work a halfway decent pic into...


and now... wait for it, wait for it...
my first EVER animated icon!

cheesy and crappy, but it's MINE!

and I made some simple bannery type GIFs 'cause they made me happy, again cheesy and crappy, but I madededed them!!!!

Cas is all wingy :)


Look into the eye... :P~


SWORD THING!!!!!!!!!! Sword thing is LOVE
'm working on doing text on, but that'll come when it comes.

and well, I figured Arcana deserved to go out in proper Whedonesque fashion so...

Grrrrr-Arrrgh

Okay everybody survived that? Good... I shall now leave you to whatever it was you were doing before I distracted you. :)

Dunno what you're worried about, hon, the gifs are awesome! Love Cas being all flash-y, and the sword swinging is rhythmic hottness!

You'll have to tell me about GAP and how to get which version into GIMP and make it work, 'cause fiddling with gifs in GIMP as it is is a pain and a half.

Aw, thanks hun... I love the sword, I swear I have to be one of the weirdest ppl in fandom, I have kinks for the pauldron, that damn, suckable tooth, and when he does that twirly thing with the sword. *facepalm*

GIMP, I don't know version you're using; I'm using 2.6 and dl'd this package http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/GAP-2-6-for-Gimp-2-6-Windows-135464357 it actually has the install file in it, which I know was my problem before... if you get it from GIMP it's in like two parts, confusing. Anyway, this way was much simpler. I'm still lost on most of the bells and whistles, but I'm not a graphics girl so I don't worry too much, lol.

Hey, between you, me and everyone being aware of my eternal shamelessness I'm a big fan of the teeth, too! ;-)

Thanks for the link! Will try and get it working tomorrow, even if I have to switch back to an older GIMP it'll be worth it since all the bugs have been no fun in the newer versions.

Hey yo, how are you doing?
Are you useing gimp? My art is all gimp works. Sometime I thought want to do it in Photoshop, but gimp has been used to me :)

Hey girl, I'm doing okay, and you?
Yeah, I'm a GIMP girl, I don't even pretend to be an artist (obviously) but I like to play and GIMP does right by me- should've seen me when I first got it I was on here screaming about how I finally had a program that had Layers, lol.
