I've posted 112 icons in celebration of International Blog Against Racism Week at my icons LJ, here:

http://community.livejournal.com/isapiens/5911.html

54 of them are new; the rest are ones I made in the past.

The point of the post was to cover as many fandoms as possible rather than cover any fandom outside of my own (Stargate, Dark Angel) well. Fandoms represented: Andromeda, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI: NY, Dark Angel, Doctor Who, Dresden Files, Eureka, Firefly, Heroes, Lost, SG-1, SGA, Torchwood, Witchblade, Sin City, and Will Smith. Yes, Will Smith is a fandom unto himself.

The loss of my Photoshop hard drive slowed me down but since I had backups of my most often used stuff and a detailed list of resources, I was able to get back the stuff I most needed. I'm still missing my screen cap collection like mad. My older collection of SG-1 caps were stored on a separate HD that didn't fail. Thus? Lots of SG-1 icons and icons made from caps provided by various challenges.

Some of the SG-1 icons have been inspired by conversations with my LJ friends. The Daniel icons probably won't be overly popular this time around but after a discussion over at riverfox's LJ about the way that his glasses frame our perception, pardon the pun, of the character, I wanted to celebrate his glasses. Or lack thereof. Also likely to lack an audience are the Daniel/Sam icons but after moonshayde wrote about getting flames for writing incest because she posted a Daniel/Sam story...well, I started seeing it again in some of my caps so I went with it.

50 Stargate - mostly SG-1, a couple of SGA
20 Dr. Who/Torchwood
06 Battlestar Galactica

Comments appreciated - critique is welcome as I'm still learning. How else am I to learn? Credit is optional so long as nobody else claims to have made them.

In case anyone surfs to my other icon post from work, the icons that anal corporate censors might get pissy over are in this post. I don't think they're bad but I was advised to play it safe for people who might be at work.

Battlestar Galactica: Not necessarily work-safe as 2 of the icons are from Apollo's Dance of the One Tiny Towel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, paddies! Looking at your work always gives me a smile, which explains why you dominate my user pics. I hope your birthday has been an excellent one.

As a Stargate fan, I've learned that homage is the sincerest form of flattery, thus the rest of this post. I've been teaching myself more about Photoshop via tutorials and making icons. Here are some of the results.

The usual thing is to ask for comments and credit. I don't much care about credit so long as nobody claims them as their own work. Use as you see fit otherwise. Constructive criticism is welcome since that's the only way I'll improve.

I have a lot more icons but posting this table was a pain because I kept changing my mind and added to the table after it was generated. I doubt I'll be posting this way again. If you're bored, I stashed my icons in my LJ Scrapbook. I had a lot of fun with Teal'c's Tally of Dead, False Gods. He strikes me as a guy who would keep count.

Not everything in my Scrapbook is snag-able as I made many for jalabert only. Those galleries/icons are labeled as, "not shareable," so please respect that. Otherwise, they're fair game.
