help with an icon?

[ratcreature]

I decided to make a Borg!RatCreature icon, because I thought it might be good for fandom pimping post, even recs and such, maybe. (Also Borg are kind of cool to draw with the tubes and machine parts and such.)

I have finished the pencils (see below), but now I'm wondering whether or not the icon to be should have some text. I thought about maybe the obvious, like "Resistance is futile!" or "You will be assimilated." but then wondered whether that was even necessary? Or maybe someone has an idea for something wittier? I am indecisive. Help? Opinions?

Oh cool! The head especially looks excellent. I don't think it really needs a caption, but if you do put one in, maybe "all your base are belong to us" could be an option.

I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the input about the text. I've decided to forego the caption so that I could leave the Borg!RatCreature a bit larger. I'm always kind of "oh no, the lost detail! woe!" when I finally resize my creatures to icon size... *g*

Heh. I like this :-). And I like the "resistance is futile" as a text for the icon, although I don't think it really needs a text.

Thanks, and yeah, I've decided to skip the text after all.
