Carry On Cowboy Icons (or How the West was lost yet again?)

Did I say the Carry on Doctor post was insanity? It's nothing to this one. However, for DW fans, there is Jon Pertwee (never heard of him), Angela Douglas (aka the Brigadier's Doris, which is why a couple of these icons are labelled that way. I'm not confused with Carry on Screaming), Peter Butterworth (the Meddling Monk), also Joan Sims & Peter Gilmore.

Oh Pertwee, I miss your rubber face that was so good for gurning!

Yes, I think that scene was probably the longest death scene in the Old West! :lol: (Not quite as good as Peter Gilmore's drawn-out death scene in Follow That Camel where he gasps out his dark confession... after having hung himself! Brilliant.)

*cough* Sorry, nothing like a parodic death scene, that's all I'm saying. :-) Yup, who'd have thought rubber-features could have become Three...?

May I try captioning #80 "Stetsons are cool", please? :D

(Also I finally downloaded GIMP again. It looks slightly less terrifying when I don't have both a fanatical Linux nerd and a computer graphics genius trying to tell me how to use it and messing with my pre-sets. ;P Also I took some Photoshop training while I was working in IT Services, so I've heard some more of the terms... like "layers". *dry grin*)

(I figure anything's got to be better than the process I was using that involved three to five different Windows-default programs none of which were intended to do what I wanted... ;S)

ETA: Or #82. I haven't quite decided.

:-) Of course you may!

It's very simple: you click on things and see what they do. If you don't like it, you hastily click undo. (And I've found [livejournal.com profile] icon_tutorial very useful for everything else.)

It's the deciding whether I liked it that has always flummoxed me... although the fact that I started out working with .jpgs, which don't take well to a lot of undoing and redoing and saving and messing-around, can't have helped either. ;P And I do definitely have a lot more brain than I have had any of the previous times I tried to make icons - plus, I see it's quite acceptable to post lots of different crops/colors/effects of icons from the same image so that you find out what people like. (And some icon comms even make that a challenge, don't they? Several icons from the same screencap.)

*is becoming less nervous* ;-)
