Icons - Hawaii Five-0: s01e02 - Ohana

[making_excuses]

On the list of things I never thought I would do in my life, making icons was pretty high up there, but they are made. I don't think they are completely crappy? They are nothing fancy though. And I still haven't gotten to making an icon of what I originally wanted when I decided to make my own icons for once instad of spending hours trying to find the correct one...

For your first batch ever, they are pretty good. Some are a bit dark though. Lol I don't know the fandom. Have you posted these on a community?

(Oh, dang, this reminds me that I haven't made any icons in ages. I really loved icon-making. There is not enough time for my many hobbies.)

[making_excuses]

Thanks! Yeah, I am using Microsoft Photo Editor, editing is a slight issue. And no are you crazy? I'm in no way good enough for them to be put that public!

(Yeah I enjoy it, I don't think I will make a career of it so to speak)

I'm going to agree that some of these are quite good considering this is your first batch. Actually, I love these







enough that I think I'll save them. (If I ever use them, I'll credit!)

Good cropping! (Your Steve in dress blues icon is lovely, too.)

[making_excuses]

Thank you! I am pretty proud of myself for actually managing to make something decent in fandom!

And use 'em, credit if you remember it.

Thanks! (You mean this *points up*?)

[elaminator]

Yep, that's the one. Damn does that man look good in uniform...

And it's possible, it just takes time!

IDK if you'd be interested, but someone at fs suggested Picasa (a free image editor from google) for secrets once, so I downloaded that. I use it to make icons now too. (Though mine aren't fancy either.)

[making_excuses]

I know right! Both Steve and Danny does actually. But Danny looks a lot better in a shirt and suit trousers than his full uniform or a full suit (at least in my humble opinion)

And as we saw in the episode with the cousins, undercover cop cousin, Steve looks like James Bond in a suit, and Danny looks like a waiter (a really attractive waiter, but waiter nevertheless)

Thanks I'll try it out!

I did download the Photo Shop thing that someone linked to a couple of days ago, but I can't for the life of me figure out how it works, and I don't feel the need to spend time figuring it out.

[elaminator]

Oh man, the James Bond comment was spot on. I agree, actually. He makes a hot-ass waiter, but Danny pulls off more casual dress-up better. (If that makes any sense.)

Oh, yea. I've avoided downloading it because I'm never sure if it's on the up and up and I'm scared to get it through illegal means, but it does seem like it would take some getting used to. And lots of practice. Picasa is pretty simple imo; I just fooled around with it and before long my icons looked twice as nice.

[making_excuses]

I agree (and you make perfect sense!)

I'll try out Picasa when I've got the time! Thank you for the tip!

The word you're looking for is "screencap" and the verb is "to cap". The word cap in this context is short for capture and not baseball cap.

[making_excuses]

I knew the word, just couldn't think of it when I posted this and I couldn't be arsed to find it. But thanks AgentC!

Sorry. Brain farts are most annoying indeed.
