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.

WOW. These are FANTABULOUS! I don't know how you make colors do this. My mind be blown. I love Close Crop and Text. It's weird but it almost looks like a political poster to me, LOL. Like Rose is running for Queen of the Cosmos. Which tickles me.

Enemy is lovely and a really fantastic take on the theme. It's very cool that you could keep the whole set focused on Rose by iconning her possessed (with like the best text ever, LOL). Gold is really ethereal looking and almost sad somehow. I love looking at it! *kicks up feet and stares so more* Imperfect is fantastic and it fits Rose SO WELL. I really love your text work - especially the alternating color scheme! Light and Dark is very creepy and I'm totally curious as to what Rose is going to meet there! Romance is truly incredible composition! Unusual Crop - you've managed to make it look both normal and like it's never been done before. HOW DO YOU DO THIS WITCHCRAFT? Wild is just ACE! I have no more words for this. I love it!

My favorites of your Cat set have to be 1 (YELLOOOOOW!) and 3 (COMPOSITION-Y)!! And 1 and 5 of your AC set (3 also) just give me all the composition feels. One of those two is my all time favorite here but I can't decide between the two. They're both so unique. *fidgets* MAYBE AC 1. AC 5. AC 1 - final answer.

Such a lovely set though! Fantastic job!

OMFG, WHAT IS THIS COMMENT EVEN AND HOW DO I DESERVE IT??? :O *___* wow, I don't even know what to say, except thank you so very much, especially for the detailed feedback which is always helpful!! Also I love that you like the colors and compositions cause awesome colors and compositions are definitely things I admire in your icons so YAY \o/ CRAZY COLOR LOVERS UNITED!

Hee, thanks for appreciating my take on Enemy, I just knew that there was no. way. I could make an icon with just Cassandra work, and I couldn't come up with another real 'enemy' to Rose since she usually make friends while the Doctor gets all the enemies, haha. So this is how I solved the problem and it took freaking forever so I reaaallly hoped that at least someone would like it, lol. So special thanks for that! ^^

AC 5 - final final answer.

Also, did not even SEE the remake-y stuff. HOLY SHIT, HAVE YOU IMPROVED SOMETHING FIERCE!!! Onto the gushing, awwwway!

Okay, I do not watch Farscape or Battlestar Galactica (because I am nerd enough and a girl's got to draw the line somewhere) but those first two - where are they going? What - straight into my inspiration folder because COMPOSITION FOR THE WIN. Can I just tell you that some of these though - even though the remake has improved on it - I still CRAZY like the original too. Examples: 7, 8, 11, 15 and 16. Between 11 and 16, I have to play the which do I like better game between the original and the remake and I CANNOT decide. I'm snagging all four and letting my brain sleep on it. Whatever you are doing to Dany in 12 is MAGIC and I am DAZZLED!!! There is something - something about those Ron and Hermione ones that leave me with an open mouthed stare thing going on... this is my life now. Your icons have made me sleepy brained and starey. Also, your Jack icon is haunting and beautiful and you have icon PROWESS and I am in awe. So yes. That happened today.

Also, may I just say: OF COURSE YOU DESERVE ALL THE THINGS!!! CRAZY COLORS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE WIN!!! And, Enemy is still BRILLIANT so I hope you still feel like a FRIGGIN' genius over it!!!!

OMG, you're just toooo awesome ok and asadsadasdas it always makes me squee when someone uses my icons or puts them into inspiration folders, it's like... I never see that coming, especially from someone whose icons I've hoarded quite a few into my own inspiration folder so whoa thanks :OO *__*

Thank you so much for the remake comments too, I'm so glad you see some progress while still liking even some of the originals, and lol, making people sleepy brained and starey so wasn't my intention :D
naaah I never ever feel like a genius over anything but thanks for thinking I should :3

(OH AND BTW A GIRL SO DOES NOT HAVE TO DRAW THE NERD LINE ANYWHERE. Or at least Farscape and BSG should be on this side of the line, if one must exist ^__^)
