thisbluespiritI've come up with a make-icons plan! (Why do I always need a plan/excuse for things I like doing?) Anyway, one of the joys of LJ is there's a comm for everything, even if it's been defunct for five or more years, so... I have themes stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
icons200, which are alphabetical and in sets of 10, so I just decide on a show/character/pairing for that set, make the 10 icons, and am allowed up to 10 artist's choice on the same subject, and once I get a set, make a post! Simple. (Those are my rules that I made up, btw.)
Not simple - getting used to a new graphics programme. Why is this one superior to the other in nearly all the ways, but it won't do a simple thing like rotate a layer rather than the whole image? (I had to do text on a new image, rotate that and copy it in. Well, I moved the image over actually, it doesn't seem to want to copy, or not to paste it anyway. But I have brushes, so you know... Software being software, basically. Especially, as ever, with me, free/outdated/cheap software being software.)
Anyway, first set will be Poldark, as threatened, but Ross & Demelza only this time. (But I have 19 more sets to go, and I'll definitely do the other characters. I need to screencap some more yet, too.)
