Yes, that's the end of them :P Though now I have 32 icon slots I will definitely be making more.

Still, I'm quite proud of this one, I think I captured the current style of layered gradienty pseudo-graffiti things reasonably well given that clean design is not my strong point (Photoshop's custom shapes helped a fair bit mind you).

I agree with Alex, it looks good. But is there any way to view the icons on these GIPs without looking at someone's friend page? Your layout is showing your default icon on the post page.

Well, the next step in my plans for my shiny new paid account is revamping my site design, and that's one of my priorities, since I find it annoying too. Unfortunately lj makes it tricky to link to the images themselves and I couldn't be bothered uploading them myself.

That said, you can always look at all my userpics and try to figure out which one I'm talking about...

I did go to Alex's friends page to view it, I guess I was hinting at a custom layout :-)

That's really pretty. I never realised how pretty the letter pi could be. Is there a story behing this, or is it just adorably geeky?

Just adorably geeky, pretty much :) Basically I kept seeing that style of art and decided to have a go at it, and pi seemed the perfect thing to frame it around (I drew the background first).

I used to have this gorgeous poster from the (less gorgeous) movie pi. *misses poster*
