Meme!
Because if I talked about training, I'd probably wind up discussing various ways to commit check-fraud. While I think that's useful information, it's not something I want to discuss in a blog entry.
Reply with "Icons!" in the comments and I'll pick six of yours for you to talk about. :D

The problem with me doing these is my explanations are either rambling and incoherent or come down to "it was pretty!".

m15m). She usually makes icons to accompany them, because she's awesome like that. She's also a major user of the Silkscreen font. This particular bit is from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in Fifteen Minutes".

This is another ofcleolinda's. In this one's case, I went "pretty!" and snagged it.

I made this! For an icon contest! I even won! Lyrics from "Holding Out for a Hero". It's kind of my 'in a bad place' icon when it's not my icon for talking about The Matrix.

A while back, some guy was reading the Harry Potter series because people insisted he should. He was quite critical. Someone else made icons of some of the more memorable lines. I picked up the ones I liked.
Can't actually remember who said this originally, of course, because I have a memory like a sieve for names.
5.
PRETTY.

So, my buddysuzukiblu does request-memes fairly often. I think that's pretty cool. She usually has some minimal rules for how to make the requests. Usually, there are a couple of people who FAIL UTTERLY WITH READING DIRECTIONS.
They drive me crazy. I had to make an icon to vent.

1. I picked this one mostly because I think it's pretty. Mai looks good in her Kyoshi get up, and I like the jade-like background and composition. I also like her inscrutable but observant expression, very fitting for her.
2. I love Janice. This is my go-to silly/goofy icon.
3. The quote is how I feel when something I've made turns out more bizarre than I intended.
4. I use this fairly often. I like the pose and the colors, especially the ring of fire contrasted with the cool greens. I don't associate a particular mood with this one, but I think of it as a positive image, making light in the darkness (which is of course what he's doing in this scene).
5. I made this one as part of a project to create one icon for each episode of AtLA. I picked this screen cap for "The Library" because I tend to like shots of things reflected in eyes, and I also think it reflects how small and petty Wan Shi Tong thinks humans are. I haven't actually used it yet but I like it.
6. Poor, hapless Beaker, working for a mad scientist. I haven't used this one much, but it's definitely an "oh, crap" icon. I also like the way it's cropped and colored, so his hair is the brightest thing in it.
