GIP: ImageReady is fun

[matgb]

There are still some things about the settings on this laptop that confuse me. To save a PSD from ImageReady as a Gif, if the source file was a jpg, I have to edit it with photoshop. But then when saving it from photoshop it says "saved using ImageReady" in the dialogue. But I can't find that dialogue in ImageReady. Not an issue at all, just weird. Anyway, made a new icon (some might recognise it from one of my old forum sigs, back when silly kids used to complain I wasn't nice enough when answering their idiot rules questions), and also updated a few already existing but not very good icons.

Keywords: Citizen, Gentleman
Words from Dr Who, idea by calapine, with a background by anabel_icons—I liked this when I first saw it, but she'd messed up the spelling, I animated it but messed up. I was said by Hartnell in The Daleks' Master Plan (reviewed here by nhw, a fairly high google result for the phrase), and is thus cool.

Keywords: Goth, Goth Rome
Animated by me, original art by SJGames—I've just always liked it, but the old version was a bit too fast and fairly static, now I've figured out how to do more frames, why not? NB, when I use it from now on I'll use the 'Goth' keyword, the 'Goth Rome' is merely there for backwards compatibility...

Keywords: Think
Russian intellectual catechism, from a t-shirt by New Statesman magazine—This comes back to my hatred of the UK libel laws, John Major, then Prime Minister, sued the New Statesman for printing an article asserting he wasn't having an affair with his caterer. The suit was spurious, and it was eventually dropped, but not until after the distributors and printers (because they can get sued to, as can a paperboy) settled out of court, and the Staggers indemnity insurance wasn't good enough.

A few more still to do, but I think I like animating quote icons like this, need to sort the timing out a little on these but overall I'm happy. Opinions?
ETA: Above images are updated versions after feedback, they'll probably get messed around with again.

* points out that you must have done SOMETHING for nearly_everyone to ban you, and that this is evidence of your unreasonableness *

[innerbrat]

*gives a highly biased account of my perception of what may or may not have precipitated the ban. Follows up with passive-aggressive statement that of course you'd take the other side.*

* thinks that's just typical of you and your inability to see the bigger picture and stomps off in a huff as there's no point in continuing this if you're going to be like THAT *

((and, y'know, DALEKS!;) ))

*interjects with an appeal for calm and an attempt to not take sides*

Oh, yes, RIGHT. Because everything in the WHOLE WORLD is MY FAULT, isn't it?

I knew assassinating Archduke Ferdinand was a mistake, but would they listen? No, they made me do it...

See, I thought it was because some bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
