Where's the Kirk!dreamsheep? :P

[jerico_cacaw]

I'm a hundred percent positive this is not what red_trillium and helens78 had in mind; but after finding a digital re-creation of the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise command bridge by B. J. West, I couldn't help myself -- it had to be done.

... this is also the most cluttered icon I've ever made (not that I'd made many icons before the dreamsheep ones), and will remain private for the time being, as the sheep used is that of helens78's Kirk icon, cut and shrunk, not a made-by-me sheep with the original base. (ETA: It is public now). I wanted to see how clear the details would be if I scaled it down: not much, apparently. I'm not sure Sulu, Chekov and Kirk would be distinguishable if I were to sit the first two in their chairs :|

Adorable, even if it might be hard to distinguish individual sheep at icon size. :D Lookit KirkSheep napping in the command chair! N'awwwww!

[jerico_cacaw]

What do you think of this Enterprise in the background? The sheep is still not dressed for the part, but I want to figure out first how much of the starship to show. Maybe I should use the poking-from-the-corner sheep (like the one in the Roman coliseum icon?)

[helens78]

I think that's adorable, but I might move the sheep to the other corner, so as to have the ship approaching the sheep. Or poking from the corner could be cute, although with perspective, it might give the impression of HUGE SHEEP! (Then again, would HUGE SHEEP be so bad? :D )

[jerico_cacaw]

And I forgot to ask: do you mind if I make this icon public? As it is your sheep (not only the base), I'd like you have your permission.

(love the starry background on your trekkie!sheep, BTW)

[helens78]

I don't mind a bit! (And thank you! :) )

Maybe you could get a useable icon if you cut it down to just the chair?

[jerico_cacaw]

I don't think it looks much better ... Of course, it could be cut down even more, but I'm not sure many would realize it is Kirk's original bridge seat :(. Maybe I should do a banner. Or a desktop wallpaper.

[zvi]

Oh, you're right. That doesn't help much. :/

Perhaps a banner is the way to go.

[teaplease]

I like it as it. :D Saved.

[jerico_cacaw]

Could you wait until I get helens78 permission before using it? And credit her for the sheep?

[teaplease]

Yeah I know, I read. I haven't used it at yet.

[jerico_cacaw]

It is public now :D

[red_trillium]

Icon size it's a bit busy but it's adorable as the bigger box. I like the one you did below with the comment to helens78 but agree that shifting it to the lower right might look a bit cooler. Either way. Do you mind if I snag that one or do you think you might play some more? (No worries if you move onto more PlaceSheep).

[jerico_cacaw]

I'm going to try different versions of that one, but you're welcome to take it as it currently is :).

[red_trillium]

Thank you! I think I'll put it over in my LJ icons ;D

[hkellick]

I love it! :D I agree, it's too cluttered to be an icon, but awesome, nonetheless! :D

Adorable art. :)
