55 (mostly Farscape) icons






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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] theiconquest battle I had with [livejournal.com profile] ghanimasun, [livejournal.com profile] mark_pierre, [livejournal.com profile] partitioning and [livejournal.com profile] thyla87! See everyones results HERE :)

[16-20]
[21-25]
[26-30]
[31-35]
[36-40]
[41-45]

And finally some multifandom ones for the awesome first activity we had at [livejournal.com profile] missingfaction. Check out the whole post HERE!

[46-50]

All kinds of comments would be greatly appreciated ofc! :) ♥

Things that are beyond the normal limit of awesome: everything in this post! I could go on forever about all the things that I like: coloring! text! composition! allllllllllll the composition! the cool color combinations! cropping! light use! ALL THE THINGS!

Instead I shall tell you all about my specific favorites:

Bound to Moya is so gorgeous. I am absolutely in love with the gentle light work going on in this icon, seriously. Be still my beating heart! I also love the purples. they are more delicate than some of your other colorings which makes this one a little unique. It stands out from the bunch in a very nice way, I think. Definitely the first one that caught my eye this time around! Likes to Read is also brilliant! I really love the crop here, and the coloring is so creamy and wonderful. The text is also amazing! It stands out without being overbearing which is really nice and fits the overall theme of the icon in a fabulous way. So looooove that one! Mask is also amazing!! I really like your way of interpreting the theme. It's very creative, and the execution is spot on as well. Love the contrasts between the smooth black and white (which is so gorgeous, by the way!) and the vibrantly colored background. Really nifty effect. And then opposites is really wonderful too! The color contrasts (red, green) are definitely what catch my eye with this one. it creates a really nice effect!

And then, okay, I am beyond amazed with 24 and 25! I saved those immediately when I saw the battle. Such great compositions in both, and the text work is stellar! And the cut outs are so smooth! you are so good at that! 45 is also a stand out star, in my opinion. A more subtle composition, but really well done never the less. And the blue is really pretty too!

Another really genius post! ♥

OMG asfsdfsdfdf thankyousomuch ;__; whoa, I'm SO glad you like Bound to Moya so much because I totally shamelessly used some tips from your awesome tutorials in that one (and also some of battle icons). And then I was like 'uhh this doesn't really look like her results but let's go with it anyway', so it's beyond awesome that that one caught your eye in a positive way :D

Lol, I have this unfortunate tendency to almost always cut out my subjects. (Maybe that's why I'm so sloooow.) So it's good to hear you think I do that part well. One day I'll learn to make some decent stuff with the natural backgrounds in the icons... :p

You're just too awesome and generous, thank you so much for all the sweet words!! ♥
