Icons from the Thundercats Magazine (Originally posted at Silver Does Stuff) ( Read more... )

200 pixel square bases to use for icons, or whatever. Feel free to change however you want. Opals sourced from Wikipedia Commons. I previously posted most of the rainbow bases on my Wordpress blog in three sizes (100, 200, 600). Credit silvercat17 please

First, I want to make an icon for when I'm doing mod stuff. Something like 'mod hat on'.

2nd, I was looking through the icons I've made, and damn I think I want to repost all of them because I still like them. The problem of course is that most of them are for old and unpopular comics like 2000AD (mmm, gonzo sci-fi goodness). I also have a bunch from the early Brave and the Bold comics some of which have great emotions.

So I guess I need to figure out where I'm going to host them (it's hard to find stuff in the Wordpress media thingy) and how many I'm going to post at once.

... I should go back through my Wordpress site and tag 'icons' on the Ben-Day Shots posts. And apparently download the icons from them because some of them I don't have on my computer.

... and apparently I need to check links on them because I just found one for a blog that's gone :(

Edit: tag added. The Ben-Day Shots posts are still funny. And there was only one broken link, because some of them already lead to archive.org links. Good job past me. I should see if I can find my spreadsheet where I was tagging and making comments on the comics.

Edit the 2nd: Somebody talk me out of starting a community just for icons from comics.... I already have too many communities including at least two that I don't do anything with (Writers Cafe and Ursula Vernon Tweet Meme)

Comment "hit me up" and I'll pick 3 of your icons for you to comment on! Here are the three lb_lee picked:

 I never actually use this icon, so I should replace it. It's various images from Batman #153, so it's the original version of Kathy Kane's Batwoman and her niece Betty Kane as Bat-girl. This was in the middle of the era where weird aliens were showing up all the time. And since it's the 60s all women want to pin down a man and all men won't admit they like the women.

I'm working on organizing all my ebooks and pirated comics so I can keep track of what I've actually read. I like making icons from them, even though they're not especially popular. I've got a batch to go up from the original Brave and the Bold (Silent Knight! Viking Prince! Golden Gladiator!) and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, based on the excellent cartoon. Although apparently I need to repost all of the icons I've made, since they've disappeared because of Photobuckets' jerkasity.
 


 I have no idea where I got this one, but it's accurate. If you can't read the tiny script, it says "If fandom has taught me nothing else, it has taught me that EVERYTHING was a hotbed of mad sex." Yeah. So it's good for any sort of slashy, shippy fandom stuff. Which I don't do a lot of anymore, but whatever.



 This is from the Judge Dredd story in 2000ad #18. Doesn't the poor head look so sad? It was my defaul icon until just a few minutes ago because it's so cute. This is a "brainbloom" which is illegal in MegaCity 1 because of what it eats (which is never stated, but it's probably people or something). They sing and can hypnotize people. 2000 AD is full of weird stories, which I love, especially the one-shots like this one.

This is all the icons from the Ben-Day Shots I've done so far. Credit isn't necessary, but if you want to credit to Silvercat17 & DC. Feel free to use or alter as you want. And if you have any suggestions for captions for animated ones, I'm open.

Total Icon Count: 46
