Here's the Nodding!RatCreature. I'm not entirely happy with it, since I'm not all that fond of animated icons, but every still nodding RatCreature I tried to sketch looked either somehow stupid or more often like it wasn't nodding at all. So after a few tries I was frustrated, just gave up and made an animated one. I'd have liked for it to move faster, but when I tried to set the frame delay below a certain threshold, GIMP told me "Delay inserted to prevent evil CPU-sucking anim." when I saved it, so, eh.

Also, it occurred to me that the last two weeks I averaged nearly one new icon per day, not exactly a sustainable rate, but I now have almost half my slots filled. derryderrydown suggested an Arsenal icon in my last poll, which will be the 49th once I get it drawn, and proves to be quite a challenge. As I tried to decide what look to choose, I looked at derryderrydown's page on Arsenal's clothing, and all his costumes look either truly awful, quite generic or like Ollie's. So I may settle for a Green Arrow like costume, and let people now it's not supposed to be Ollie through the lack of a goatee.

So has anyone ideas for my 50th icon? That seems to me a much better place for taking a small break than 49th.

I just love your icons. :D Hmm, maybe a sleeping RatCreature or a watching-movies RatCreature (eating popcorn?)

Thanks for the ideas, those definitely have potential. And I'm glad you enjoy my icons.
