37 Farscape icons (Prayer)  
My entry for the 20th (YAY!!!) round of [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] jacquelee, who usually like to use textures, wouldn't use any this time, and that [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Omg, thanks for the (amazing as usual) comment!

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

I love that I actually learned to do all of these things without textures. Usually I'm just lazy and use textures, or do it out of habit, but there is really no need, cause with solid color fills and gradients and hand painting you can pretty much do all the same tricks. It was great! Now, if I had to do a set without masking for example, that would despair me a lot more :p

And yay, thanks for liking the close crops, especially since you prompted me to do more of them at a time (I think it was at the LIMS) and I was like 'noooo, I can't do close crops', and also because I kinda cursed myself for having picked a late ep that doesn't have any bluray caps out yet and everyone knows that close crop + only MQ cap = not a good combination. I'm glad if it doesn't show that much.

Anyway this was a great challenge, thanks for taking part, it was lovely to have to try new techniques! That being said my next set will probably be the opposite of this one cause I definitely think this started getting a bit repetitive towards the end :p
