About icons

[dar_jeeling]

All those icons with variations on the "Here a llama, there a llama" theme are oddly compelling! Every time I see one, I have to watch them for at least one loop. Agh!

Also, did you know that if you look at an icon long enough, the person in it starts looking like someone else? It's driving me nuts! You work on an icon and suddenly you go: Waitaminute. He looks nothing like that character! He looks like some other guy! Who is considerably less attractive. And has weirdly distorted features. Agh! Deletedeletedelete!

... no?


They all tend to look like Ewan Mcgregor at some point, though.

*tilts head, squints at icon in Photoshop* I fear you may be right. Or maybe I'm just that susceptible.

Nope, other people have confirmed that. It's really spooky (but I have no icons looking like him).

*nods alot* It happens, really. Halfway through you wonder how could the same person in the same picture can look so different with just a few tweakings, and makes you wonder what the hell is happening.

It's like looking at the same word for a long time - it stops making sense!

*blinks at Photoshop in horrified fascination* Fraser is now looking like...John Travolta?! Oh, that's just not right.
