yo! such a pity that Prof has rejected Q's custom icon, it was a killer! but, we're not giving it up just yet - I'll continue lobbying as soon as I get some time, the argument Prof gave us was not entirely convincing 
Have you a link to flicker or photobucket for it? Are you sure you can't just adjust some aspect of your image to meet his specs? Gabi's icon is actually fuzzy due in part to the lazy manipulations I did to make numbers match, and he let that through.
Irina, Bev,
here is a link to an original image I used to create an icon from:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~zoc/gnothe/index.htm
you'll find it under Appendix 5
a version that resembles the actual icon more closely is here (the CUT-UP tab):
http://www.xs4all.nl/~zoc
Prof's sole objection was that "the image [you sent] looks like more of a photograph than a
cartoon-style illustration, which is one of the requirements".
I can fully agree on image being quite realistic (even in 40x40 px format); my objection would be that there are quite a few among the custom icons already in use @ Forge, not the least the Prof's own Midnight Blue - hee, hee, hee - that are just as (photo)realistic. but, I'm not going to go into disputes about it with him - there are more important things for all of us to discuss and consider - but, rather, I'm gonna wait him out, so to speak - stick with the default Quazgaa icon, and wait 'till Prof changes his mind, by some insight, or somehow or other. I think that's the best course of action.

Ooh! Very dramatic! Both of them! Not particularly photographic looking to my eye, but perhaps that's just due to my skepticism about aliens...
yes, I agree it's realistic looking - could be a very realistic drawing using a salamander, or frog eye as a template - rather than photographic. it's not due to any scepticism, though, just an impression.
I'd say, it's a realistic representation of an alien - they are out there, and right here, I, personally, have no doubt about it.
