Ha, the evil hold of icons!

LOL! I know! It's the one thing that has tempted me to open my wallet from the beginning. They do that on purpose, don't they? :)

Thank you! Lanning makes such beautiful icons. She makes cute and funny ones too. She made my favorite Stalker Kitty icon. :)

I have it now, thanks! He's pretty in anything, isn't he? :)

I have a question for you. How can I make icons that move? What program do I use for that? Like your insanity icon (which is very cool, btw). I have Dell Image Expert available to me. Will that do it? Or do I need to use a movie maker program? What I'm wanting my picture to do is scan up and down.

I looooove that he's in a princess dress. That is just so awesome (DK = all about the genderfuck). I'm just glad he's not my type, or I'd be licking the screen. ;)

I used Adobe Image Ready which comes with Adobe Photoshop, but that one is not free :( Paint Shop Pro comes with Animation Shop and has at least a 30 day free trial, I believe. And then there's The Gimp, which is actually my favourite program, but not so easy to use. It's completely free (www.gimp.org).

Furthermore, great advice on how to make icons is available at http://www.livejournal.com/community/icon_tutorial/

I can also probably help you with stuff.

LOL! I know how you feel about this. I've got MR as my wallpaper and I'm amazed that I don't have tongue prints all over my monitor. It's a picture of him as Adina from Sorority Boys that sabershadowkat manipped here, and I'm obsessed with what looks like a little freckle on his tummy. Well, as well as the rest of him.
