And more iconspam.

I couldn't help it with this one; I (vaguely) storyboarded it on the shower screen with a whiteboard marker this morning, and now I've spent the last couple of hours on the drawing and colouring in and animation.

So! Here it is: the felicitous union of BSG and Santa hats (of which I've drawn eleven tonight. 11!) I'd have liked a bit more of the raider to be visible, but Zoic seems to have mostly stayed all "ZOMG only realistic light sources!" for BSG, and getting some actual detail on the raider meant the background turned out less like space and more like a test pattern on crack.

Is it wrong that as I watch that icon my mind automatically fills in the "whomm...whomm" noise*?


*Do the new Cylons still have the "whomm...whomm" noise? I still haven't got around to watching new!BSG, so I'm remembering the 70s sound effect.

I thiiiink the centurions do, but new!BSG has very much joined the 'no sound in space' side.

Er...it has sound in space, it's just very muted. The Raiders definately make the Blinky Eyeball Noise of Doom.

Well, yes. It's got louder space than Firefly, but the loudest space!noise that I can remember is bits of Cylon on the hull of a viper. Their space is quiet enough for me not to care overmuch (and, possibly, just loud enough that people who hate silence in space don't get too upset).

*looks at icon again*

I didn't realise at first that that was one of the fighter craft (you'd think I'd remember that Raider = fighter). I thought it was a Centurion's head against a dark sky.

Oooh... there's differences, but they're still similar enough (in new!BSG, at least) that I don't need to think about trying to make a centurion version. Hooray!
