Rodney McKay: Sex God - An Iconic Tribute!

This week

advent_atlantis is all about "Rodney McKay: Sex God". Since this is a topic close to my heart, an icon post was obviously required! So, here's my iconic tribute to Rodney!

I must add - pictures really don't do him justice! And what is it that I love about him? His eyes, his shoulders, his crooked mouth, his sarcasm, his vulnerability, his arrogance ... I could go on ... "But still I digress, where was I...uh, leadership!" ... no, icons! Enjoy! (If you like them, help yourself - I'd love to hear what people think!)

OMG. Just wonderful representatives of our sex God. I'd like to use several of them #2, 6, 12, 13. Can't get enough Rodney in our lives. ^__~

Thanks! Yep - you can never have too much Rodney! :)

Dead from Guh... I love the way you did the border for No.1 and ooh, those eyes in No. 15 - SEX GOD he certainly is!!!!

Very very nice, Katie :)

Oh and Happy Easter :D

Happy Easter to you too! Glad you like the icons! I just adore his eyes *happy sigh*

Not grabbing any, but these are beautiful. I love you use of colour and the layouts here.

5 and 6 make me giggle.

Thanks! I found #5 and #6 funny too - I'm glad I'm not the only one!! :)

I really like 8. :)

Cheers! :)

LOL! #6 and 10 crack me up. Snagging 10 and will credit! Thanks!

Cheers! Glad you like them! "Brokeback mountain of space" actually comes from David Hewlett - he said it in the Duet commentary!!

Oh lovely icons. Sexy mckay everywhere. :)

Cheers! I love that icon that you're using! He really is sexy! :)

Lovely! You are so getting the hang of this PS thing! Every post is better than the last one. :D

...and you figured out the moving video thingy (#13), I'm so gonna bug you until you tell me how to do that! *grins*

Oh and nabbing a bunch. (I think I'll use 9 or 3...haven't decided.)

Thanks! Glad you like them! :D Let me know if you want something different written on #3 or #9.

I love those mini movie icons! As for how to make them... You can insert an actual movie clip using image ready (or probably other animation programs) like in this tutorial. (http://community.livejournal.com/icon_tutorial/375897.html)

I made #13 the long way though - I took 11 screencaps of that scene, then pasted each of them onto the larger pic. I saved them all separately, then dragged them onto one picture (so each of the 11 pictures was a separate layer). I then used the "make frames from the layers" button (on the animation toolbar), then animated each for 0.1sec. Then I saved it as a .gif in ImageReady. (That sounds complex, but its not too hard! Let me know if you want better instructions!)

(Sorry that you got this comment twice, but I stuffed up the link the first time!)

Thanks! I just adore his smile too! *dreamy sigh*

Oh, I need #5! Thank you.

Heehee! Glad you like it! (he actually was naked!!) :D

Rodney is my Stargate boyfriend!! Thank you so much for all these pretties!! i really like the one you are using!! *squeeeee* not taking any yet.

-Lisa H.

Rodney is my Stargate boyfriend!! But Rodney is all mine!! :D

Glad you like the icons! Cheers!

Oh wow! 13 is too cool! I'd love to use that. Okay, still sorta new to all this. How do I credit you?

Thanks! I don't mind too much if you credit me, but just in case you want to, here are some instructions: (apologies if some of this is obvious to you!)

- Go to 'manage' and 'userpics'
- Click on the 'browse' button and find the icon you want to upload
- In the keywords section, type any sort of description that you want
- In the comments section, type something like: Made by <*lj user *= "_wwsd_"*> (remove the *)
- Click proceed

Simple as that! Hopefully that made sense! And again, glad you like the icon!

Oh wow, I think I want them all, I can't choose! These are so beautiful, the colours are amazing.

*blushes* Thanks so much! Take as many as you like! (I love that punkRodney icon!)

I *love* these! Taking 1,3,10,12,15

Thanks! Glad you like so many of them! I love to share the Rodney love! :)

Muppet Acting - heeeeeeeeee!

heehee! "Muppet Acting" is what David Hewlett called it during the Duet commentary! I thought it was hilarious, so I had to make an icon!

He was also saying that every actor gets inspiration from Kermit the frog - I think there might be an icon there too!! :)

OMG 6, 10 and 12 are PRICELESS!! I LOVE THEM! LOL

Thanks! Glad you like them! David Hewlett referred to the kiss as the "brokeback mountain of space" and I just thought it was hilarious!

Great icons! Love #6 *giggles*

Thanks! *grin*

RodneyLove! All are pretty, but I snagged #9 for now. Will credit. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Rodney is love! :)

Hehehehe, these are awesome. I fear that I may become seriously addicted... xo

I love when more people become addicted to McKay icons! :) Thanks!

snatched nr. 13...will credit if I use it..all look great

Thanks! Snag away! :)

#5 and #6 melted me right away *grins* These two are so yummy ;) And #12 is so true *nods*

Great batch!

Mmm he really is a sex god! Glad you like 'em! Cheers! :)

great icons, as per usual. i was wondering, how do you make icons like the one you posted with and #13 (with the tiny animations in a bigger pic)? i've seen them around and have lusted after them. i suppose one needs a special program for it?

Thanks!

I love those mini movie icons. I use photoshop and "image ready", which comes with photoshop.

There are a couple of ways to make them - apparently you can just insert an actual movie clip like in this tutorial (http://community.livejournal.com/icon_tutorial/375897.html) - I've never tried that so I'm not sure how hard it is.

I made #13 by taking 11 screencaps of that scene... I chose the shot of David that I wanted for the larger picture in the icon, and then I just pasted each of the 11 screencaps onto the larger pic.

So I had 11 seperate images, (each had that larger picture and a shot of the scene in the corner).

I saved them all separately, then dragged them onto one picture (so each of the 11 pictures was a separate layer). I then used the "make frames from the layers" button (on the animation toolbar), then animated each for 0.1sec. Then I saved it as a .gif in ImageReady. (That sounds complex, but its not too hard! Let me know if you want better instructions!)
