hatman mentioned electric sheep, and this idea came to mind...

It's shareable, and if anyone's particularly interested, I can upload the GIMP image (with layers) so it can be turned into a Dreamcult icon, or so the eyes can be made glowing red instead of green, or whatever makes you giggle. (Credit would be appreciated, too.)

There isn't enough caps lock in the world to express how much I ADORE! this icon. :D I love it!

[cheyinka]

Bwee! Glad you liked it.

OOh. I really like that. I'm tempted to .png a floating, glowing version of that sheep into an icon~ *must go do this now*

[miracled.livejournal.com]

Yours definitely inspired the icon I used on this comment. (It's .png, so it should glow on any background, including patterned -- so I'm going to test that out now.)

[cheyinka]

Oo, I like that the logo glows, too!

Tried it on some backgrounds in case it gets used on other colors ~/giggle. It was just such a cute idea!

[cheyinka]

hmm, it looks pretty weird on black (because the inside of the sheep isn't white, it's transparent) but weird in a good way - it looks like a glowing capital D, which fits!

[miracled.livejournal.com]

Hrm! I'll add a thin transparent layer to the sheep~ totally forgot to do that on the first round *go me*.

http://miracled.livejournal.com/591.html?thread=585295#t585295 Small update to them, though making one outline that looks good on all backgrounds is tough. I'd normally make really dark/black backgrounds have a separate one, unless all the sheep outlines were black. XD

[cheyinka]

Yeah, the dark ones are tough!

[cheyinka]

okay, this one's past "electric sheep" and all the way into "if the water is glowing blue that does not mean it is extra-tasty" territory:



which serves as a proof of concept that I can, in fact, fiddle with the glowing-sheep base image enough to make it work on dark backgrounds. Unsure on whether it'd still work as a transparent image...

Um, I've borrowed the original electric sheep icon, and credited you for it, but is this version also share-able? *drooling a little*

[cheyinka]

If you would like the Cherenkov Sheep you may have it! (You don't even need to call it that, credit alone is sufficient :))

[helens78]

*ADORES*

[hatman]

Oh, nice!

And here I was thinking I wished I'd found a way to add in an electric cord. Didn't even think of making it glow. And, wow. Nice job!

He may be a very silly sheep, but he's surprisingly beautiful as well. I've nabbed him and will use him with credit. Thank you.
