Icons! and an all-purpose one-pan recipe

Hey, the McShep Match icon contest is happening and anyone can vote - including team members. So go take a look and vote over here! Of course I'm hoping Team Cool wins, as I always need the extra day or so that's the prize, to get my fic submitted before the deadline. /o\

I am, of course, totally overloaded again, working to finish my SGA Reversebang fic and trying to rustle up some sort of outline for my Losers Big Bang Space Pirates one, while thinking about art for other Losers BB teams and recording/editing my Podfic Big Bang entries. Agh! Not everyone does this, right? I hear some people just work on their own projects in a non-rushed, no-deadlines sort of way...*peers longingly through the glass at sensible people*

I posted one of my staple one-pan recipes in a comment over at [personal profile] malnpudl's journal. I call it fake-paella and here's the link. It's yummy.

*dashes off to write some more*

27 Hewlett sibling Assassidate icons

27 icons from the new Assassidate vid (episode 1) by Kate and David Hewlett.
Feel free to snaffle and modify. Credit me if you use any as is. 
The captions are also from the vid, but weren't necessarily attached to the these images in the vid.
All captioned icons have non-text versions below as well. Damn but Kate Hewlett's gorgeous.

Icon Meme

So I'm playing the icon meme as well, even though I suspect this is the journal where memes come to die! :F

[personal profile] busaikko chose 5 of my icons for me to comment on. If you want to play, let me know in a comment and I'll select 5 of yours for you to tell us about.


            Breathe through it (life of Brain series): I adore your Brains....
Okay, so I had a cartooning jag back in February and made several strips featuring "Brain" or its goa'uld version, "Bra'ain".
This is the strip linked to this icon:



             What's the story? Where is Dief???
I think this is undoubtedly an illustration from my fic "In a Strange Land" where Dief and Fraser are shape-shifted tentacle-aliens as per Galaxy Quest (it's a crossover). Fraser and Dief communicate telepathically and Dief's extremely disreputable, unlike Fraser, who's desperately trying to pass as human. In the icon, Dief's doubtless getting his end away with a local poodle behind the bakery, to Fraser's dismay. And yes, I do still promise to write the sequel, in which there is Ray+Fraser+tentacles :)


              McShep kiss. Look, a photo, it must be canon, right? *springs eternal*
I wish I knew who made this manip, but I just snagged it and modified the details slightly. Yes of course it's real, their love is so true!


             Pretty... but what does it signify to you?
It makes me think of the beach, that he's surfing - the end of the day so the light's golden towards sunset, and his beard's heavy. But it also looks ominous, post-apocalyptic. So maybe he's surfing at the end of the world, because what else can you do?


             And I have to ask: colour experiment, or is there some Deep Significance?
I made this for the AO3, because you can only have one icon and a fandom-specific, even a writing-specific one didn't work. So this is for fic and art, both. It's the 3 primary colours and the 3 secondary colours, just an abstract design that looked good. I used to use the "Mandelbrot's Ass" one but then he died and it seemed kind of disrespectful. *eyeroll* Like he cares.

McShep Icons

Here are two sets of mcshep icons I made for Team Sheppard, in the recent mcshep_match icon contest. There were loads of truly amazing icons made, and you can find them here.
We lost by a whisker, durn it, so now I have to get cracking on my mcshep_match story.  Not that I'm feeling blocked or anything (ruthlessly suppresses panic). But as ever, the shiny of the art has captured me first, so I'm 3/4 done with my artwork, yay!
Feel free to grab any icons if you like them, just credit me in the comment field.

PS: I'm not sure why they're looking smaller than they really are, in the post. Some weird coding clash with me and LJ and tables, I guess. They should download as the usual size.

More Joy Day

OK, so I only just found out about More Joy Day so I can be excused for being slightly late I think. Anyway - I am sharing with you a pic of one of my Christmas presents, a "dog done up as Mr Spock" mug which is WONDERFUL AND COMPLETELY FTW!



It came from this site, their "animals with attitudes" series. (these are clearly manips, no actual animals were subjected to hair dye or eyebrow pencils!)

OMG the Elvis one, and the Sid Vicious one, not to mention Mao as a pug!  Ahahaha.

Anyway - (see above) here, have an icon made from my mug, for More Joy Day.

Cheers.
