Fandoms

1-48: Farscape
49-53: Doctor Who
54: The Big Bang Theory
55: The Rocky Horror Picture Show


First of all, what I managed to scrape up at the last possible minute for the 24th round of farscape_20in20... My claim was the three-parter Look at the Princess, one of my top favorites. It might not have the strongest plot (it's good alright, just not as dramatic as some of the later stories!), but it has SO MUCH SCORPY OMG. Also The Hug, which I didn't icon this time cause I've already iconned it to death but have two Bracas instead cause his parts are definitely highlights of the trilogy too :D

THEME SET: Noranti
Resourceful	Age	No Shame*	Secrets	Sleep

THEME SET: Pilot
Bound to Moya	Likes to Read	Multitasking	Peaceful	To see the stars

THEME SET: Stark
Ragged	Dark past	Mask**	In your face	Opposites

*In the 'No Shame' icon we had to icon a character's vice or negative trait, so witness Aeryn's mean sense of humour in this one :D She's awesome but daaamn I wouldn't like to be that poor guy!
**The prompt was to show only a part of the subject's face and I tried different crops etc but in the end didn't like any of my other results so I ended up just 'masking' the faces in lots of shadows :D


Also, some moar Farscape for the fantastic theiconquest battle I had with ghanimasun, mark_pierre, partitioning and thyla87! See everyones results HERE :)

all the colors!!!!! just ::ugh:: I can't find the exact word so I'll have to go with amazing!! ^_* these are amazing!
and now onto my favs ;) because you, they're the greatest of the great ;p and you know it ;D

Likes to Read (omg) this has to be one of the greatest icons you've ever made because damn but there isn't a single thing I don't like in it! the color, the fact that it's muted and then there's the text. I love that text!! Multitasking's composition, the colors ... beautiful! And then we come to "To see the stars" I love the depth the blackness and then there's that muted white or light gray or whatever really, it's f! amazing!!

and now we come to my favorite set! Your Stark set is magnific!!
ragged - the contrast in the image, in the colors you choose are so fitting, so beautiful!!
dark past - so smooth and elegant, gorgeousl!
mask - how the hell did you come up with that one it's so damn gorgeous! ::stares:: I can't even ... !!
in your face - I'm in love!

and now for the rest of the post ;D [man I looooove this post] because I can't resist (:
my favs are 21, 24, 31, 34, 38 (oh those levels .. and that green!) 49 and 54 (sweeeeeet)

now that I've your attention ... how do you do it?! how do you manage to take that 300 px images and make them look so smooth and utterlly gorgeous because I tried and failed so many times until I came up with mine!?

Oh wow, thank you so much for this amazing comment!! *___*

whoa, Likes to read was the last one I made and it was a quickie really so I didn't expect people to like ti that much, but I'm glad they seem to :) (I can't really take much credit for the text style though, as it was totally ripped off from inspired by theotherayn, so all due credit to her :p)

Hee, if you like my muted icons like Likes to read, you might enjoy playing around with this set of gradients - they're the secret behind all my vintage-colored/muted icons, true fact!
As for Mask, the cap was hideously dark and badly lit to begin with but I liked the crop I got with it, sooo I decided that trying to brighten it up would ruin the quality so why not go all the way dark and make it look intentional, haha! Sometimes difficult caps are a good thing cause they make you try something different :)

Omg I honestly have no idea what you mean with the last part though, because I struggle SO much with image quality myself (all my main fandoms have pretty crappy cap quality tbh :D). Usually my solution is just a combination of slight Topaz use and manually smudging the worst pixellated parts. This sometimes works better than other times but I have to manage, since my favorite seasons of both DW and FS are the ones with worst image quality .__. idk if this answers your question but feel free to ask more if it didn't, I like to ramble about icons :)

Really, thanks for taking the time and effort to write this!!! ♥
