38 icons (mostly Doctor Who)

First actual icon post of 2013, containing a Rose Tyler set for [livejournal.com profile] character20n20 and the remake icons I made for the remake activity at [livejournal.com profile] bestof_icons.







Fandoms:

Doctor Who 21 (almost all of Rose)
Farscape 5 + 1 alt
Battlestar Galactica 3
Game of Thrones 2
Harry Potter 2
I Am Number Four, Star Trek (2009), Buffy, The Big Bang Theory 1 each

I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of these. I've kinda sucked at commenting this round at character20n20 but fear not, I still intend to go through everyone's sets even if it's a bit late :>




Remakes (click to see the original):

[1-5]
Farscape x5
[6-10]
Farscape, Battlestar Galactica x3, Star Trek
[11-15]
Game of Thrones x2, Harry potter x2, I Am Number Four
[16-18]
Buffy, The Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who




I'm mostly really happy with the remakes and think the majority of them are better than the originals, so yay I may have actually improved during 2012! \o/

This Rose set I'm not that happy with though :| I like most of the ones I made first, but then I ran out of time again despite not signing up for anything else this month (but then again I spent a lot of time with the nominating at bestof_icons and making that damn progress post and I may have gotten a bit sidetracked by the7days too, so not that surprising after all) soooo I kinda dislike a lot of these as well. But then again I've noticed that I'm a horrible judge of my own icons, so who knows :p

Also, this is yet another set where I can't choose between simple and complex and muted and vibrant so yeah who else is surprised.
I had two reasons to pick Rose: 1) she's FULL OF WIN and more importantly 2) she's a cutie and the perfect subject to color, srsly, more tv characters should wear candy colors like she does :D and yes I totally used a Farscape quote on one of them, lol.

Nope. Not a single icon I like in this whole post. Because, clearly, it is opposite day!

Haha! This post is actually super pretty! I have so many favorites!! Let me tell you about them! =D

Your re-make icons are really, really well done. Seriously. I think the only one where I like the original better is the Buffy icon, and that's only because the concept in the original is just too cool to top. Everything else though? Holy hell, have you progressed! All the compositions, all the colors, all the textures, everything is so amazing now! 06 is killing me. I like the feathery textured feel you've given it. It's really interesting. 12 is fantastic as well; I love love love when you do fun, geometric texture blocking!! i wish i knew all the secrets behind it. The coloring also really works. 17 is also brilliant! Pretty simple, but the math stock in the background and the flawless green really make it stand out form the crowd.

And I don't think you have anything to worry about with your Rose set either! The vast majority are perfection! Close crop/text and imperfect are both spectacular! I love the text work in both especially in imperfect. And the coloring is expertly done in both as well. Hot is awesome too. And then there's neon which is crazy good, and I'll probably be snagging that psd along with everyone else to see how it was done. The smoothness of the skin and the crop are points which I particularly like. And then AC1 which is just...my favorite thing. The whole composition is just fascinating. I love that you make these things that I just want to stare at for awhile to get all the impact from. It's fabulous!

Another wonderful set! ♥
