37 Farscape icons (Prayer)

[neonspider]

My entry for the 20th (YAY!!!) round of farscape_20in20, and also my fifteenth time participating :O god I've been doing this way too long, sometimes I feel like I have no life, lol.





So I made a little pact with a few of my friends in that comm. The deal was that me and jacquelee, who usually like to use textures, wouldn't use any this time, and that nebari_rebel who normally doesn't use them would make all the icons textured. But since one of the themes was 'Coloring' (no resource use), it meant she could only have 19 textured icons, so she said I could in turn have one with textures. That one is 'Amused'. The rest have no textures whatsoever and I'm freaked out cause this is way out of my depth so I have no idea if they're any good. Also I hope it's not the most boring set ever cause they're practically the same icon over and over :O looks like I just suddenly got CRAZY into close crops. I guess there's just not that much for me to do if you take textures away. It was an interesting experiment still and I'm proud that I could manage without textures and have the icons still look at least a little like me! ^^ The alts are textureless too, except for 9.

My claim was the episode 4x18, Prayer, cause I looooove the John/Scorpy interactions and the torture. ;) Some of the themes need some explaining, so bear with me:

'Favorite' is obviously favorite character :)
'Whoops' is from a scene where John actually says that. Scorpy really screwed up by killing Rygel for nothing.
'Vehicle', I was going to use the module, but it just wouldn't work. So instead I interpreted Moya as one (even though we all know she's so much more) and had an icon where the corridors can be seen.
My 'Amused' is 100% fake amused. Sorry, I don't think anybody in this dark angsty episode cracks a real smile :(
Also omg I could avoid the fingersuckage even though some of the themes kinda screamed it. Instead I used a shot right before it happens for 'Sexy', with John shamefully turning his head away but secretly hot and bothered by what Scorp proposes :) I did have the real deal in the alts, but I actually liked this one better.

There'll be a ton of new icons (mostly DW) posted very soon but I didn't want to sort through them just yet cause busy :( so I hope you won't mind the spam, lol.

I really would not know which ones to pick... :-)

So, since I *LOVE* all the hues having to do with fire, I'll concentrate on them: "Vehicle" is amazing and gives you the perfect sensation of warm safety that I always associate with Moya - no matter the situation the crew finds themselves in.
"Colouring" and "Skin", like "Vehicle" have that soft feeling that makes my eyes return to them every time.

In the "Extras" I like very much 6, 10, 12 and 13 - because Aeryn is my favorite character. Of course! :-)


'Favorite' is obviously favorite character :)

Nooooo!! Who would have thought!! What a shocking surprise! ;-)
Jokes aside it's a very intense frame and I love it!

Well done!

Love the crops! I lean toward the cooler icons, myself.. but I like cool colors! Nicely done, regardless!

I REALLY LOVE CENTER CROP!!! LIKE I CAN'T STOP TALKING IN CAPS!!!! hehehe

Also a big fan of PLUS ONE. I'm so unpredictable.

Alts 10 and 12 as well heheh

yup.

These are stunning. It's kinda hard to really get into a deep comment for all these because they're so lovely...

But I love the coloring and the glow of angst..

The coloring for recycle is really good. Love the high contrast.

Really love the aeryn extra icons.. especially the coloring in 8.

I just really like them all. It's nice to see you step out of your box. :) <3

These are STUNNING!
Hat has got to be my favourite of the set :D

[nebari-rebel.livejournal.com]

Wow, congratulations! These are great - and I'm surprised at how many look like they have a texture to me, or what I associate with a texture - the solid backgrounds and the glowiness especially. It makes me feel more confident in my set, since I was worried they weren't looked textured enough even though I'm doing my damnedest LOL

I really love the composition of Plus One, and the colouring on Colouring - so rich! All the skin in your icons always looks so brilliant and pure. I'm LOVING the close crops...the starkness of Favorite, the rich, wet, almost bloody colors of Angst. Whoops is one of my favorites (and one where it really looks textured to me!) and I definitely see the heat there in Sexy ;)

Shape is fab...I don't see many Scarran icons, and I like the abstractness of it. Fashion is a hoot, as is Large Text. Amused is terrific, crop and coloring, and Foreign Language is such a great choice...Skin and Simple are beautiful, almost ethereal, and I love the symmetry of Extreme Close Up and Emotion.

Of the Alts, I absolutely adore 10, 11, 12, and 17. I don't think I've seen the last shot in an icon before...love the originality.

Super icons, especially for being a set done outside of your comfort zone!
