Icon requests

[watervole]

Since my anonymous benefactor gave me extra userpics, I have space for more icons.  I did some thinking about what I mostly use icons for, and I tend to use them to emphasize what I'm saying in a posting.  So I thought about what kind of things I want to say that I don't currently have icons for.

If anyone is in an icon making mood (or has some suitable ones among their collection), here are my current needs:
Folk music (no words needed, just a pic that expresses it) (maybe a bodhran and a concertina, or something like that)
Thank you
Wow!
That's beautiful
Get well soon
You're a genius!
"My sons are both taller than me, but I still love the little ratbags" (but in rather fewer words...)
Insatiable curiosity (Elephant's Child)
Loving hug.

Possible fandoms include Dr Who, Blake's 7, Merlin, Stargate, Star Wars, Buffy, Star Trek and various others. But I could also go for some older/odder ones like MASH, Ivor the Engine, etc.  Pictures from attractive photos also make nice icons.

Some existing icons

Get Well Soon:
Fantastic! (would do for "Wow!")
Curiosity:

I've already got a dr Who 'fantastic' one. I use it quite a bit, so a 'wow' would be for variation.

I don't recognise the other two. Pretender?

What I really need is something like this picture http://www.jwoolfden.com/jpg/Kipling_Elephant_Child.jpg with the words 'insatiable curiosity' instead of the banner across the bottom (though how many of my flist will get the reference, I don't know). Or possibly in that empty space at the top?

Can I steal the 'Fantastic!' one, please? It looks very cool.

The third one is Pretender; the first one is actually Doctor Who (the Tenth Doctor and Rose).

Shouldn't it be 'satiable curtiosity? ;-)

If you just want some writing added, would one of these work? If you prefer a different crop or font, say so.

Re: Some existing icons

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Strictly speaking, yes, 'satiable curiosity would be the correct version.

Re: Some existing icons

[darth-tigger.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's curtiosity. Said splendidly by Tony Robinson on the audiobook tape I used to have (and sadly don't any more. I must hunt out another copy, it really was rather good).

"You're a genius!" irresistibly brought a certain episode to mind, though you may worry about the implications...





I tried using a background of the Master's fob watch, using a couple of online replicas; I'm not sure why the silver one came out blurrier.

Thank you. That's great.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

It looks best with the silver background - thanks - great icon!

Why, thank you, kind sir/ma'm!

Sorry, I couldn't resist doing these... ;-)

Join the ranks of those who cannot tell a melodeon apart from a concertina...
