Writer's Block: My Userpics

[schizoauthoress]

[Error: unknown template qotd]



I'm fairly certain that this is my first default icon, back when Basic accounts existed and we only had three (yes, three) slots for icons. It's a picture of me as a toddler, cuddling with the pitbull boy of the family. I made this icon during a rather low point in my life, and added the text "I am loved." as a reminder that yes, it's true. People do love this crazy, lazy, weirdo pervert.



This is my current default because it's a simple image. I kind of have this belief that defaults should either be "simple and clean" or "very distinctive", and 'A Spark in the Dark' is really just a white burst on a black background. I chose it because I identify with the element of fire, and it also looks like a sparkler...and I was born close to the Fourth of July.



And THIS is my 'every so often I switch back to this one' quasi-default icon. She's my favorite character from the "Soul Edge/Soul Calibur" video game franchise -- Seung Mina. "Heart and Soul" is a reference to her nickname in 'Soul Edge' -- "Heart and Soul Girl". She's always been sort of the tomboy/rebel/independent woman of the game series, and I really like that about her.

Mmm, I have a feeling my first icon was Doug Funnie and Porkchop in their quail gear. Back when I was on here as quailgirl. *reminisces* I've been thinking about going back to that as my journal name (if possible). I'm bored thinking I'm cool and trying to be pretentious and stuff! Being a hopeless nerd just comes more naturally. ;P

Since the name's been deleted and purged, you probably could purchase a $15 rename token or sign up as that name again...

Ah, Schiz, your intelligence astounds me. *applauds*

It's orange!

You see, it's orange!

No, see, I did get the pink from the original costume (sleeves and front sash-tie)! But I look bad in orange, so we compromise. I'll make it red like the 'Soul Calibur' iteration.

Cool meme! (Or whatever it's called)

Do you ever wish you had more userpics?

[schizoauthoress.livejournal.com]

I'm 30 icons away from my limit, so not at the moment. Surely, though, when I've reach about 103 icons, I'll find, like, four that I can't pass up and then want more. ^_^ Addictive little buggers, they are!

My first (and still most-used and default) userpic is that mysterious pink/purple superheroey-sorta character you see popping up every so often on your friends list, Captain Spam himself. Now, you most likely don't have even the slightest clue who that is, but I will say it was a superheroey-sorta character I used to draw and that bluezybunny had at least a partial part in his construction (well, the color scheme).

And otherwise, the bulk of my pics are my own hand-drawn nonsense. A lot of them really archaic, too, given I draw a lot better than most of those now. Seriously, I do. Nobody ever believes me when I say that. :-)

Hah. The purple was a bit of a clue...Richard likes his purple.

*points to icon* He had a hand in making THAT character, too.
