aggienaut | Pictures

   I was making a new icon for use on thefacebook.com (fig.2 below), but pretty soon it developed into a fit of procrastination in which I messed around with two other pictures as well. The usericon for this post of course was one of them. It can probably be colorized from the original better.. I think someone else should do that because (A) some people are good at such things and (B) I should probably not be wasting time on such projects right now. But yea it comes from a picture I drew during the Davis MUN conference last year (2003). Pictures of the drawings of "emo trogdor" and "trogdor eating in-n-out" didn't come out as well.
fig.1A - previous icon, closest to original
fig.1B - new icon, hammer/sickle has obviously been moved to the right
fig.1C - deviantart icon I made the other day
fig.2 - magnum!
   Right now however I'm feeling like I like the original "soviet" icon better. The icons referenced in the poll are of course behind the lj-cut.

   Yes, this was originally part of the previous post but a decision was made shortly thereafter to break the post in two. If you voted in this poll when it was in the previous post, if you can vote again I'd appreciate it, thankyou.

Figure 1A is a bit more distant in that a) you're farther away and b) distance was a byproduct of the communist era and the cold war. If you're going for genuine, then you need to incorporate the zeitgeist of Reagan and the Kremlin into your emo.

for some inexplicable reason, after reading your comment my first thought was "I should have an icon of St Basil's cathedral!" Maybe the world kremlin triggered it.

world = word

In hopes that it triggers a psychotic episode - KREMLIN KREMLIN KREMLIN!!!

Also, there's a cool image of a russian farmer with a sickle standing in a field and then some text about collectivization and 'something something FOR THE PEOPLE!' Maybe you could add some genuine soviet advertising to your arsenal.
