Rodney McKay: Sex God - An Iconic Tribute!

[kaaatie]

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!)

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!)

Oooh thanks. That tutorial looks great! I'm terrible at finding tutorials for things I want to do. :D

It is really hard to find good tutorials sometimes ... These posts here (http://toxxxicgurl.livejournal.com/25570.html) and here (http://prettymuggle.livejournal.com/5392.html) are really useful. They both have big lists of tutorials - just click on any of the icons/graphics that you like, and it'll take you to instructions on how to make them.
