Random fandom icon post #4  
Again, these icons are not from entirely random fandoms: each of the three shows iconised contains elements of comedy and fantasy. I'm still in a very Boosh mood so there are 44 icons from the Mighty Boosh Pilot episode - Tundra. Pushing Daisies has finally arrived on air in the UK and I'm enjoying the show as much as I had hoped so there are 12 icons from its Pie-lette episode too. The final batch of 36 icons are from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace: a show to which I was recently introduced by [info]mikeywong and [info]zombie_all_star. Thanks guys.

Good stuff.

You've inadvertently reminded me that I want to knock out an animated "Yay!" from the PD episode just gone, unless someone's already done it.

Check out the various icon communities and you may well find one! Or go for it and make it yourself. Then post it. Then make more and post them... it's like an addiction... :p

Cheers for your comment!

Very few things in this universe, that is for sure! ;)

Thanks for commenting! :D

Cool icons! *thumbs up*

Thanks Taru! :D

btw - thanks for the nudge! It didn't go unnoticed. It's just taking me a while to post stuff of recent because I'm capping most of the stuff as well as iconising it. I'm also aware I've been really sloppy on checkig my friends pages of late! Apologies!

PS: Happy Birthday! &hearts

Ah, such a good mix! Snagged a few, with credit of course :)

Also, how do you screencap? Starting to think VLC player is the best way to do it.
Gem: Mighty Boosh (Tundra Vince)[info]pkgem_fanart on May 6th, 2008 09:58 pm (UTC)
Thank you very much! :D

I actually use PowerDVD to screencap because I got a copy free with my new DVD writer. However, I have used VLC in the past and there is very little to choose between the two. VLC does have the advantage of being free and playing almost anything you throw at it. I should also mention that I hand-cap in real time - I've no idea how to set either programmes up to cap automatically and usually I'm looking for particular shots anyway. Good luck with your future capping! :)

Hey, glad to see fan art from you !!!

I think both of us snagged the same awesome set of textures by [info]mata090680 and light textures by [info]spooky_window. I really like how you used them, especially #2, #82 & #83.

I'm very happy about you enjoying "Pushing Daisies", I was afraid you expected too much and then find the series too naive, but it's a nice show.
Gem: Pushing Daisies[info]pkgem_fanart on May 6th, 2008 10:11 pm (UTC)
Hi Maria! I know, I know... I've been slack of late! I blame studies, real life and having to cap most of the things I decided to iconise! I'll try to do better but my studies are increasing again so I'm not promising! ;)

Yes, those textures by [info]mata090680 and [Bad username: spooky window] are awesome! I noticed that you used some of them in your last batch too. I think you did better with the textures for your horse stock icons than I did for my icons here. Although, thanks for pointing out the ones you did - I was happy weith those ones too! I sometimes think I surrender quality for quantity but I love the shows I iconise and get carried away. Maybe I should try iconising shows I don't like to further my skills! ;D

Yes, I am enjoying Pushing Daisies. My b/f enjoyed it at first but has already grown bored of it (he lasted 3 eps). I love it though. It is quaint, quirky and naive but it's so sweet and pretty too. I need some fluff in my viewing to temper my cynicism ;) Thanks for the recommendation!
daquien[info]daquien on May 7th, 2008 09:48 am (UTC)
Oh, study, that's what I should be doing right now, never mind, I'll do it as soon as I write this, damn June exams !!!

Hmmm...Never thought about improving iconising skills with shows I don't like, bright idea, anyway I iconise shows that I rarely watch as SPN or NCIS, I think I need to know at least the name of the characters or what it is about to iconise it. *lol*

I'm glad you like PD, a friend of mine also got bored after a couple episodes as your bf.



Gem: Pushing Daisies[info]pkgem_fanart on May 7th, 2008 06:33 pm (UTC)
Bleugh to exams! :p

Yeah, not knowing the characters is a downside to practising iconing on show we don't know. I didn't think of that. I'm not likely to do it either as I have too many programmes I do like to iconise first! :)

I'm four episodes into PD and with only nine currently on offer, I cannot see me becoming bored any time soon! Btw - they didn't air the second episode here - they are only airing eight because of shoing football (bah!) on the ninth week. So, I ended up watching a downloaded copy anyway!

Hi, how are you doing? Its been a while.
Boosh + pushing daisies = :D &hearts.

some great ones, i'm snagging boosh7 at the minute but i'll probably come back later when i update my icons again :D

I've never heard of Garth Marenghi's Darkplac but it looks interesting.

*sends gift of natural highness*
Gem: Goth Detectives (kiss)[info]pkgem_fanart on May 6th, 2008 10:24 pm (UTC)
Hi back at you! ;)
I'm doing well thanks. And you?

I know you've been having internet problems - dang faulty modern technology! My PC has also been flaky of late but my beloved b/f is going to rebuild it (again!) at the end of May. Hurrah for technologically-savvy men. I feel that may explain my attraction to geeks - in-house tech support! ;)

My delays in posting have been due to increasing studies (boo!), increasing socialising (yay!) and the fact that I've been having to cap most things I've been iconising of late. I hand-cap in real time and generally end up rewatching the programmes but twice as slow! It's fun though! (is sad geek) :D

Glad you like the icons :D

I think you would like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's rather funny and has cameos by both Julian and Noel. It's also insanely difficult to describe so I turn to Wikipedia to do it for me: explanation here
The whole series has only 6 episodes and is available on DVD. I highly recommend it you have any spare cash and you see it going for a resonable price. I borrowed my copy from my friends but it's now on my wishlist!

*thanks you for gift of natural highness - sends some your way in return*



darlaslilgirl: flower! noel[info]darlaslilgirl on May 7th, 2008 03:46 pm (UTC)
im good, just a bit stessed over my last two essays until octoer anyway. Glad you doing well.

I feel that may explain my attraction to geeks - in-house tech support! ;) it's certainley a positive thing. I think i need to buy a new router as i think mine is just too old to work but then i think will a new model with updated software work on my old pc system. *pulls hair out*

I use an automated capping system which in theory means i can do more. i putthe player on mute set it to cap so many times a minute and leave it go while i do icons or surf the internet/lj. i just can never be bothered to do so. I did recently cap starter for 10 on my laptop, im just waiting for some wireless internet to get the files into my gallery :(

i read the whole wikipedia page :D then went and found it for sale on ebay and i started the bidding at 99p! lets hope no one else enters this, there are lots of copies on there between 99p and 14.95. its not new and sealed but for that price i dont really care.

i think thats all but i'm going to read your comment in my journal now.
Gem: Garth Marenghi[info]pkgem_fanart on May 7th, 2008 06:27 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I'd recommend a fully fledged geek as a b/f. Any problems like that you posed above I direct to Paul and he knows the answer. I used to work in IT but I never really went past the "have to tried turning it off and on again?". OK, I did but I've forgotten most if it as I no longer need to know it. I have Paul ;)

What automated capping system do you use? I have PowerDVD and VLC installed but I don't know how to set either up for automated capping. It hasn't been an issue so far but I do have various other progs that I'd like to caps: I could do with setting it on automatic whilst I study, lol! Any advice welcome! :)

Glad you like the sound of Garth Marenghi. I hope you get a cheap copy - 99p would be a bargain. I don't think being brand new is important so long as it works - the style of the presentation of the shows has a "worn" feeling to it - that will make sense if you get a copy, I promise.

Finally, I hope your stress passes! I empathise - I have essays coming up too! Still, if you do as well as you did in your trailer, you'll be laughing! I'm sure you can do it :D
darlaslilgirl: flower! noel[info]darlaslilgirl on May 7th, 2008 06:47 pm (UTC)
OK, I did but I've forgotten most if it as I no longer need to know it. I have Paul ;) lucky b***h lol

to get the automatic capping i use a freeware media player called The KM Player once installed you can play almost any file type, capture audio, capture video, and capture screecaps. you just open the player the go control + G and it brings the window up. my typical settings are


thanks for the encouragement i wish i hd faith like that. I hope your worload goes ok and dont get to stressed!

Thanks for that Helena! &hearts
I shall download that and give it a try at my earliest convenience. Cheers! :D

its ok, its a pretty straight forward program but let me know if i can help in any way.

Love your icon as well :D

Thanks Helena!

That icon is by [info]sql_girl. I find it rather an appropriate icon, especially for those of us with studies! ;)

thanks, im gonna snag this one for later use as well.

These are so, so lovely, especially the Boosh ones. It makes me sad that I only have 15 icon spaces DDx still snagging numerous icons! thankyou!
Gem: Mighty Boosh (pilot boys)[info]pkgem_fanart on May 6th, 2008 10:26 pm (UTC)
Thank you so very much for your lovely comment! :D

I know what you mean about limited icon space. I couldn't handle 15 so upgraded to 105 but I still have more icons from people than I know what to do with! lol

hi gem !
lovely icon you've made. i love how you used textures on icons 2, 3, 17 to 20, 53 to 56, and 82, great style =)

so you like pushing daisies ? i really enjoy this show too, it's like a fairy tale :)
Gem: Pushing Daisies[info]pkgem_fanart on May 10th, 2008 05:19 pm (UTC)
Thanks Spooky! Glad you like the icons and my use of textures - especially as I used many of your own textures :D

I do like Pushing Daisies. It's a lot fluffier than many of the programmes I watch - like a "fairytale", as you eloquently put it - but everyone needs some pretty whimsy in their life! I love the fact that they have managed to make such a sweet programme from such potentially dark and morbid subject matter, lol!

I'm stealing all Darkplace ones!

I love Darkplace...especially Matt Berry :)
Gem: Garth Marenghi[info]pkgem_fanart on August 17th, 2008 10:04 am (UTC)
Cheers! Glad you ike them :D

I agree, Darkplace is cool and Matt Berry's character is definitely the best :D
