Working on icons...

thistlechaserI don't know how other people work, but for me making new icons starts with finding the perfect initial image. That's the first, and very much the hardest, step. I love seeing how other people work, so perhaps others would be interested as well.
I made a screenshot of my Photoshop window, showing the potential images I've found so far. The three on the left have the most likelihood of actually becoming new icons. (The two wolves in the middle lost some quality in becoming a jpg.) Don't ask me why there are so many wolves/werewolves, that's just chance. The abundance of saber-toothed tigers is on purpose, as Thistle-Chaser (the character) is one.
This quest is made all the harder by me not really knowing what I'm really looking for...
Note: The screenshot is a large image.
