Bring back teh dramalolz y/y?

Everyone and their dad's pet gimp seem to think they're the next big thing in icon making. I was happy in my quiet trolling until recently some people decided they'd like to post their batch of photoshop'd craptastic screen crops.

SO LETS GET ON WITH IT!



Rules:
Credit ( [info]whoneedssanity)and comment when taking!
Textless icons are NOT bases.
NO HOTLINKING!
Do not claim as your own.
You are welcome to friend me if you would like.
Enjoy!

LOLOLOLOL throwing on a few colored layers seems to make your icons worth qualifying credit.

Culprit: whoneedssanity

Comment: DYKE PELVIC THRUST ATTACK!!!!112 o so naughty. :O Popped a cherry there cuz I see blood splatter!

Culprit: whoneedssanity

Comment: Just... wut? No 4 serious, wut? Wtf? Of ALL the scenes in Sailormoon why make an icon out of THIS screen shot? It makes no sense. Looking at it you wouldn't even think it's from Sailormoon. :( Fail.

Find more of their terrible effortless icons here


Rules:
* Credit me if you use any of my icons :D
* Please do not hotlink
* If you want to change any of my icons, just ask me in a comment here but please still give me credit for the icon.
* Any comments are appreciated. I know I am not very good at making icons, so suggestions are appreciated.

LOL at least they know they're crap :) And admitting and accepting failure is the first step.

Comment: Open your mouth or it goes in your eye. :( This icon is named 'romance'. I think someone misinformed them about the definition of romance.

Culprit: snooky81

Comment: Glowing cleavage? That's unhealthy. Could that be Mamoru's glorious glowing jizz? :O

Culprit: snooky81

Comment: Jupiter enjoys an acid trip. :( Drugs are bad, Jupiter, mmmmkay.

Find more of their bad bad quality icons here. :) Their icons makes fun of themselves really.

AH! Jizz in the eye! JIZZ IN THE EYE!!


Ok, where to begin? It's extremely bad quality, and the text is jaggid to fuck and back. Nevermind that it reads "Dancing on Air"...on a Mars icon. Yeah, Mars is the apex of air.


It's really showing no clear picture mercy, huh?

The rest can be found here. "I hope you enjoy them!" She says. Oh we will.

We will.

At first I thought the script font was decorative, until I actually read the pixellated one: face the path of evidence of a vow shining gold. Kay. That doesn't make sense. The script must be mandatory. face the path of glory; evidence of a vow kiss; initial u shining gold. Doesn't 'Ruka have a theme called "Initial U"? Maybe these are lyrics from that. I'm too lazy to look it up.
This is just a mess. Unless the text is decorative (that is, it LOOKS GOOD, which this does NOT), then it should be legible. I'm probably the only filename senshi that doesn't dislike tiny, decorative text.

TO MAKE IT BETTER:
• Actually EDIT the image, don't just resize it. Mess with the levels, saturation, color balance, whatever to at least spice it up a little.
• If you need to include all those lyrics, it should be animated, each frame with a line of the text.
• If you're going to place the text over Uranus, put a fricking white border so that the font is legible.
• Don't use pixel fonts unless you know what you're doing. Which you DON'T.
• You don't know how to use a script font, either. Not every word/phrase looks good in scriptina, I promise. Initial U is one of those word/phrases.



From here.
Let's just skip right to the tips.

TO MAKE IT BETTER:
• Again, don't leave it with the default levels. At least use some kind of gradient and set its layer to "Soft Light". You people need to stop playing with Photoshop/Etc without a tutorial. icon_tutorial
• Speaking of which, DON'T USE THOSE RETARDED DEFALT FILTERS. Why are there blocks all over Usagi, you nitwit? Just... No.
• Not all icons need borders; sometimes borders look clumsy on certain icons. This is not one of those icons. It needs a border to hold it in, even just a one-pixel border.



Also from here.
... Why? Why is she blue? There is a happy medium between not touching the adjustments and molesting them.
This icon cannot be made better.

See, this is almost good. It has a good layout, the placement of text is good, and the cropping is fine. I don't mind light icons, but this whole thing just looks washed out. The overall icon is okay, but there's a lot of technical problems.

TO MAKE IT BETTER:
• Up the contrast a little so we can actually see Serenity or Cosmos or whoever this is. *looks harder* Neo-Queen Serenity, I think. Which, btw, undoes your text, as Neo-Queen Serenity is not the princess of the moon, but Queen of Crystal Tokyo, and possibly the whole darn world.
• Once we can see her, we'll see that she is stretched. Don't stretch pictures. No, it is bad. Crop your base, resize the LONGEST DIMENSION to 100 pixels and crop the canvas to 100x100. It's painfully easy, and doesn't stretch the image.
• What is that in the corner? MM?... I don't understand.
• Don't use Silkscreen. It's a pixel font. Anti-aliasing it is a no-no. Don't use it here aliased, either, because the hard edges will look poopy with the soft image/colors. Use Times New Roman (in all capitals, and try bolding it).
• Black border. No black in the icon, not even dark colors. Use the darkest blue in the icon and make the border that color.



We should make filename senshi community. I don't know why. :P

Unless you are familar with this picture you probably wouldn't be able to guess what the hell it's a picture of. Just for future refence it's not "uber kawaii" or whatever, to close your eyes and randomly crop.

Made by: julia_2

More random cropping!! Seeing as how we can see nothing that's going on in the image, I guess we're just going to have to trust julia_2 and assume that the crappy hard to read text actually goes with the icon.

Made by: lil_brokenangel

OOoo, look everyone!! It's a new trend! Let's all start cropping off half of the letter on our icons! Half a word so pwns tiny ass subliminal text.

Made by: nanwilliems


I especiall love how the text goes so fast that you don't even have the time to read what it says. Could this be a well thought out plan to get us to look at those icons longer?!?1 :O

Made by: kawaii_mako

Damn icons of today! Either they're really dark or really light. Stop messing with the damn hue/saturation tool already!! If you're going to darken the icon that you can at least brighten the text so it stands out.

* The images are linked to the journals/threads from which they were taken altho they have been uploaded to MY space on photobucket. It's just so you can see where they came from originally.

Oke, this is almost too easy, like taking candy from a baby. Let's have a look shall we? This is the first one:



Now, we know the subject of the icon just HAS to dance, but what's with the blinkie words? And the ever increasing size of them. Is this some sort of subliminal message that I'm just not getting? It's just a bad picture with equally bad text added with a blinkie style. Those blinkie things went out AGES ago.



And what's up with this icon? It's labelled as 'under attack' but I think it's more along the lines of the viewer being under attack. I mean....overdose on orange much? The background does NOTHING for the icon at all, and the blurry picture looks like someone took the icon, put it on the ground and ran over it a few times with a truck. Those lines kind of give it away, y'know? Whatever the text says, you can't read it. Icons are meant to look good, and to be readable, unless it's some kind of subliminal message...(again, what's with these subliminal messages in icons?) Just.....no. Too orange, too illegible, and too blurry.



Now what has the subliminal (??) caption got to do with the subject? And why is she all pixelly and blurry? She looks like she's gonna be ill or disappear into pixel heaven any minute...not exactly something to recommend usage of it. Plus it's still too orangey. I know her colours are orange and yellow but there's such thing as too much of a good thing, y'know?



Interesting caption for this icon. It just doesn't really hold my interest at all. For one thing, the text is too hard to see with the dark background, and the font is whack. At least it's not subliminal but yeah. This one looks a bit whoooosh, like someone ran over this icon as well. That sort of thing is fine for backgrounds, but not for an image in a 100x100 icon.



What the hell is this? The extraction is extremely poor and there is absolutely nothing that recommends this to ANYONE. If you're gonna use it as a banner, at least make it look like one. Makoto looks like she stepped in something icky and Usagi looks constipated. Mamoru looks like a candidate for the local looney bin. That's why I don't get the caption text. "We look cool together" How about not?

Seeing as this community was apparently recently abducted by ALIENS, I bring you more icon fuckery for much amusement and great injustice.


The douche is this? About the only good thing in this icon is the cut out job of princess Mio. And even that is questionable. Where shall we start? Craptastic border with what looks to be an abuse of lens flare or the 'shopped cape?

God you suck. She couldn't even TRY to make the hair look like it was originally in the pic? I thought the 'otaku senshi' had long been eradicated like any good plague. I know we're not meant to make fun of the special, but this is just ridiculous.
