38 icons (mostly Doctor Who)

[neonspider]

First actual icon post of 2013, containing a Rose Tyler set for character20n20 and the remake icons I made for the remake activity at 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.

Oh wow, how is it possible for you and your comments to be so awesome and encouraging and perfect all the time? *___* I'm so glad you like the remake icons so much, it was such an interesting challenge while also serving as the perfect excuse to try to improve some badly executed stuff.

it's so interesting to see how you play with light textures (vs. grunge textures), because it gives your icons such a great, soft, gentle look.
Oh, wow, it's always a bit weird when people compliment my lighting because quite honestly I have no idea what I'm even doing with it! I kinda suck at light sources and stuff, like in almost all these icons it looks like light is coming from all sorts of directions instread of just one, haha. And I didn't notice any of this while making them. But then again I trust your judgment so if you say you like it, I guess I'm happy with it!

Oh and I love that you picked pretty much all of my favorites in the Rose icons, especially in the themes section which I actually had time to spend on. Still, glad you found positive things in the more quickly made category and ac sets too! Blocking isn't all that easy to me though, I mean it's not impossibly hard like blending or text, but it's an afterthought much more often than I'd like - tbqh half of my blocking icons only have blocking cause the coloring has fucked up the image quality beyond any other salvage than more resizing .__.

Thank you so very much for another amazing comment!!! ♥
