And we'll lift our eyes and raise our heads and face the sun...

Y'know, it bothers me, often, how almost all the PB sets out there (or, really, people with enough expressions to be USED as a PB) are models or actors or otherwise preternaturally pretty people. There aren't enough NORMAL people as PBs, and I have plenty of times wished for a less-pretty PB for a character who's supposed to be... not drop dead gorgeous.

So I've decided to try to start a meme-like thing amongst us RPers/icon-makers. It's very simple.

1. Take 20 or so pictures of yourself making various facial expressions. (Or more, but, y'know, at least 15-ish to fill out a free LJ account)
2. Make icons of them
3. Post them for other people to use in RP if they'd like.

Given the amount of effort required, I seriously doubt I'll get many people pitching in, but it's worth a shot, right? So, without further ado, I present:

Seriously, as long as you credit me as the creator/model, do what you want! Edit them, add text, fiddle with colours, ask me for the original image so you can tweak the cropping, whatever! I usually don't bother asking for comments, but I'm honestly curious and would really like it if you let me know if you're using this set for something, 'cause... well, it's me!

Enjoy, hope someone finds a use for these!

:D This is awesome. It is, however, missing a hug icon. :|

[ordinarygirl]

Yeah. Alas. T_T

How weird is it that I've met you IRL, and I've never thought before that you looked like someone, but I looked at those three preview ones and thought you looked JUST LIKE someone I used to know?

[ordinarygirl]

Probably 'cause I have hair? XD I don't think I tended to have much in the way of hair when we saw each other.

This is a great idea, Beka! If I had a decent camera I'd totally do it (...probably. My parents might not be thrilled, but meh.)

Anyway, I forget sometimes how secretly gorgeous you actually are. And the picture with the pigtails makes me so happy. <3 <3 <3

[ordinarygirl]

PSH. NOT PRETTY.

(also I don't have a camera at all - it's just my crappy built-in webcam.)

[yetregressing]

YOU ARE. YOU ARE PRETTY TO MEEEEEEEEE.

(Dude, really? Those are pretty decent quality icons! Well maybe then I have to do this eventually. It's not like they'd ever really be used by people who don't know me in some way...)

[ordinarygirl]

(Yep, I mean, I cleaned them up in GiMP, but that was just adjusting light levels and overlaying a layer or two.)

[tyriangalley]

Hi miss, you're adorable. <3

[ordinarygirl]

:P Nyet, nyet!

[tyriangalley]

Oh pfff, I have met you so I know it. :p *hugs*

[martyfan]

This meme is the best meme. I don't know if you'll get many people following suit (that was a loooooot of work, holy cow), but you've got at least one devotee!

[ordinarygirl]

Hee! This is exciting to me. ^^

[feathertail]

Very interesting concept!

Incidentally, if you need any help setting up your WordPress site let me know. ^.^

[ordinarygirl]

Thanks! I'm not half bad with WP, it's mostly that I have no content yet. *sheepish*

[feathertail]

I think you can import your Dreamwidth content ... and you can use JournalPress to automatically cross-post to your DW journal! With some kinda comments integration, too.

I'm not sure it'd have all the same features, but I'm still thinking of using this myself at some point. Once I set up the multi-blog site I was thinking of and get my own WordPress journal there. >.>b Not sure how long that'll take though. The last time I played with WordPress-MU I was like o.O;

[ordinarygirl]

Heh, yeah, I think I'm keeping my personal blog heeeeere. That site's gonna be mostly "professional" stuff, when I get it set up. My writing, any performance stuff I do, etc.

[feathertail]

Heh yeah, okay. >.> Performance as in acting in plays and things?

[ordinarygirl]

Acting, singing, whatever might come my way! Or whatever I might create. XD

[feathertail]

Like icons? ~.^

[ordinarygirl]

XD Yeah, like icons.
