I am...whimsical today.

Just curious :)

Ah, look at the lonely people...

I'm gonna guess Frankie, KPaul, or Sketchfactor. Or, basically anyone who knows how to make them with Photoshop.

If you're interested in making them, I have a transparent picture that, with it, all you have to do is paste your picture in a layer under it and, boom, you've got a top story icon. :D

Just assume its Lorraine McLees, with the help of either Shishka or stosh.

I don't know who made them. That's a good question. I'm sure someone will know. Or maybe even Achronos will tell us.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I think they're done by different people. If I remember right, both Shishka and AgdTinman did some before they left, and I think stosh might have done something too. I'm not really sure though, it's just stuff I seem to recall.

As for who does them now.... I have no idea.

I believe stosh and others do the ones without people, and that the ones with people in them is done by Kpaul and/or SketchFactor, or sometimes Frankie.

Hey, maybe that's what Skiptrace does here.

agdTinman and stosh sound like good candidates. Although I'm sure Lorraine is the real master of all those images.

Nope.

Tinman is off contract, now, but he did most of the older ones. This kind of thing would fall under stosh's jurisdiction, generally. With approval from Lorraine.

I haven't made any in a while. Although things are a changin'. My new schedule calls for 2 icons a week. I'm not sure if Lorraine has made any. I think shiskha and tinman made the majority of em'.

Another Skiptrace hypothesis shot down. That was fast...

There are more coming? Cool. I guess we'll see them when we see them.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Say, stosh, if I were to make a couple quality ones and send 'em to you, would you use 'em...?

I can make them exactly like you guys do... >_>'

Here are samples:

Icon 1

Icon 2

Icon 3

I think you will find that those will fit perfectly with the site background.

Sounds like a good idea for a forum competition... ;)

Sure dude. I can't promise we will use it though (i can't approve it myself). Don't get all emo if we don't, ok? Make it 2 or 3 times bigger than the actual icon size.

Oooh. You need them bigger. See, I made an overlay with one of them that just gives me the border and the shadow, and I can just place that overtop of the desired image. As a result, I get a perfect replica, but it can only be actual size (130x115, I believe they are). I suppose I could mess about and attempt to get a procedure to make them manually and then I could. I have samples of my method in my original post.

If I may ask, why do they have to be bigger?

EDIT: I think I've got a quite good procedure down. Let me make an icon out of it and let's see what you think.

Those are pretty sweet Raven. I think it would be worth doing it manually. I'm sure we would all appreciate it, and you'd be contributing in a way most of us never could.

Alright, here we go:

3x Size (390 x 345) Icon, Custom Procedure

Regular Size (130 x 115) Icon, Custom Procedure

That turned out very nicely, if I do say so myself.

Awesome. It turned out great.

Did you email them to stosh? I'm sure he could get them here, but that's what he asked you to do, so you should probably do that too.

I'm gonna make a few more and then e-mail them to him.

What about some humorous ones? Just an idea, as the majority of the ones on the front page have some humour incorporated into them...

I sometimes use the little pictures as my display picture on MSN.

I like avatars personally, but your pics were pretty cool.

The oldest of the icons are Lorraine's work. As Tinman's work was primarily focused on the website, he took over for icon work after he started. I did a few as well, mostly humorous ones.
