Green: It's the new black. (DCU icons, part I)

[buggery]

So DC-comics-fandom zeitgeist seems to be headed in greenish directions. The assorted Green Lanterns past and present; the Green Arrow family, with its long associations with the GL and Flash families (not to mention plenty of incestuous-ish subtext); the Martian Manhunk Manhunter; Gar Logan is even back with the latest incarnation of the Titans.

And that's not remotely all.

I'd been feeling the need to have icons for a bunch of these folks, and these relationships. Several other people around LJ were good enough to share icons of various DCU characters in green, but I needed more. In the process of finding images I liked for my own use, I wound up with... rather more than I needed, or indeed could possibly use on my own.

So now it's my turn to share. These are all .gif format, which is both smaller than a .jpg and animation-ready. If you're planning to make an animated icon, you may share up to five bases (but not claim for exclusive use more than two). Please indicate in comments whether you want dibs on your choice(s) or are willing to share -- if you don't specify otherwise, it will be marked as shareable.

Shared icons marked in green, claimed icons in red.

part II with Green Arrow & more


The sources for most of these are right in the filenames; "John-GL156.gif" would be a picture of John (Stewart) taken from Green Lantern #156, and "JonnOllie-JLAJSAVnV.gif" is J'onn J'onzz (PhotoBucket made me take the apostrophes out) and Oliver Queen from JLA/JSA: Virtue & Vice.

If you know the source of any of the asterisked* icons' base images, please comment below, and I'll update the filenames. ETA: Two down, thanks to ratcreature and caia_comica; thanks to you both!

The GA part of the set is up now. As for nudging the zeitgeist, the best way to encourage it is to talk these green folks up; leave fic, challenges, meta, art and/or icons where people will see them.

That shot of Spectre!Hal rolling on the ground with his limbs akimbo and his arse exposed ought to be disturbing... but yeah, mostly good.
