Happy Birthday!

Would you like a cleaner version of your "please don't hug me" icon? The jpeg artifacts have been tickling one of my own neuroses :)

I thresholded it and saved it as a png, then got carried away and scripted an anti-aliased version..

[alias_sqbr]

Oh wow, thanks.

Hmm.. see, it was made for me as a gift, and I think that if I allow it to be messed with a tiny bit, my artistic pride will make me redraw the whole thing :)

[shrydar.livejournal.com]

No worries :)

Ah yes, I can understand that. The first of the two I did is arguably just a format shift to restore the artwork to the appearance it would have had before being saved as a .jpg, but the latter is decidedly taking liberties.

[alias_sqbr]

Mm. Well, thanks anyway, and I may decide to use it regardless. *ponders*

As the person who gave it to you (if my opinion counts at all :P) -- I can't draw, do what you will with it!

[alias_sqbr]

Pfft, like your opinion is at all relevant.. :)

See, I like it the way it is, it has a nice simplicity to it, but it's so completely different from the way I make things that once I start messing with it it'll end up looking like something I'd make (and probably end up less effective for it)

Total sidetrack: last night I dreamt you had your own opening credits for a mock-up tv show, they were super cool and I was very jealous :)

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

lol. the screen writer's strike must be influencing your dreams. Either that or you have a much higher opinion of my writing abilities than I do.

[alias_sqbr]

Oh you didn't actually have a tv show, just cowboy bebop-esque opening credits which you'd cut together yourself using animation of you, your family and J made by the perth film and tv institute as a favour. And I do have a fairly high opinion of your ability to cut video :)
