19. 112 Icons: IBAR Celebration

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I was hoping to have more new icons in celebration of International Blog Against Racism Week but I've run out of time. I started with pics snagged from the PicSpam in Sage-Theory's LJ, augmented it with a few pics from Eureka and Babylon 5, sprinkled in a tiny bit of CSI: NY at the request of jalabert, and couldn't resist pulling up some of my older icons to finish it off.

Fandoms represented: Andromeda, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI: NY, Dark Angel, Doctor Who, Dresden Files, Eureka, Firefly, Heroes, Lost, SG-1, SGA, Torchwood, Witchblade, Sin City, and Will Smith. Yes, Will Smith is a fandom unto himself.

You're most certainly welcome; thank you for the comment!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. :) Enjoy!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Yay! There really can't be enough Teal'c love. *nods*

[shelma32.livejournal.com]

Thats a great idea. You can either get the pics from my site: http://www.danpaynefans.net or from dans official site: http://www.dan-payne.com

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

That's cool. Whenever you have time. If I don't mention things as I think of them, though, they...well, evaporate! (Mentalpause, you know.)

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

Oh, and yeah...wouldn't want to go overboard on the number and lose too much quality. But the four I mentioned - and Thor?! - would be cool. I mean, yeah, there's Martouf and Kawalski and any number of beloved we *could* include...

69 was awesome, plus the CSI Warriok ones were BEAUTIFUL.

[technosage.livejournal.com]

These are just so gorgeous I can't stand myself. They're definitely the best icons of Mohinder I've seen and gah, they're all so beautiful, I don't know where to start.

Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[shadowhuntress.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful!! Snagging the last Gary Dourdan one and the last Gina Torres one. Her hair is to die for. Thank you so much for sharing!

[droneish.livejournal.com]

Teal'c! Snagging 56, 60, 62. Thank you so much. Will, of course, attribute. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

These are all gorgeous, well done!

86 (close up on Teyla) just takes my breath away, though. Snagging.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) I had a lot of fun with the pics.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thank you. :) The photo of Sendhil in that picspam was really something special. I always thought Mohinder was gorgeous, if regrettably a bit dim at times, but Sendhil staring into the camera is awe-inspiring.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Isn't her hair gorgeous? I'll admit that the first icon of her up there was all about the hair. :) I didn't care that it was a predictable crop because -- HAIR! Thank you for the comment.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. :) There is always room for more Teal'c love.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've tried to icon Teyla many times but I've never captured her the way I want. That's the one I think came out the best and I'm thrilled to know that this icon worked for someone else, too.

[technosage.livejournal.com]

This is probably not the place to get into an impassioned defense of Mohinder, LOL! But maybe I'll do that as one of my IBARW posts, since I love him like burning. :) It's just so nice to see pretty icons of him.

Aside: I don't suppose you would be willing to make icons of Rena Sofer/Heidi Petrelli? The actress's father is an Orthodox rabbi and she's Jewish. I kind of love her and your icons are just gorgeous.

::smooshes!:: I'm so happy that you like that Jack icon -- I was thrilled with how it came out, and it owes totally to things I picked up from your files. You've provided me with more PS Epiphanies than I can count.

And this icon post, really, it's just a giant cornucopia of wonderfulness, and shows off so much of what I admire in your work, cropping and coloring and textures and humor and emotion. Yay! :-) :-)

[wisdomeagle]

Dude, lovely. Taking #21 (Max/Original Cindy).

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

No need to go into it if you've done it a hundred times and it's vexing to you. But if all that's stopping you is that I might take offense, feel free to expound away. I have personally been annoyed that they make him a dim bulb at times because it feels wrong for the character and like something they do for a plot point. I love all of the Heroes characters and an impassioned defense of a character is never going to insult me. :)

Sure I'd be willing to make an icon or two of her. I don't have any pics at the moment and I'm battling a connection at home that is less than stable. I have a couple of requests already and I will get to it as soon as possible. Give me a week or two, hopefully, and I'll have some. I'd held off on making a bunch of Heroes icons because my favorite icon maker, paddies, was working on some but she has been sucked into a new fandom recently and I suspect we won't be seeing those Heroes icons for a while.

[technosage.livejournal.com]

No, not at all vexing. I just didn't want to Mohinder-theorize on your icon post! I'm working up a post about it anyway because it's a good ibarw thing to do. So, I'll point you there when it's done if you're curious. :)

Oh, that would be outstanding. I can point you to a few pictures if you want, but there's no hurry. It's not for IBARW that I want them. I just realized that I don't have many icons of Jewish characters or actors, and I wanted a few. Since Rena's so astereotypically Jewish in her looks, I thought it'd be nice to have some of her. Not to mention she's just gorgeous. *g*

Thanks again so much for doing these. Your cropping and lighting just...it really works for me. Beautiful work!

A Henry icon! Love love love! THANK YOU!

[avidrosette.livejournal.com]

Late to the party, but just wanted to say how utterly gorgeous these icons are. The three close-up icons of the BSG actress are just arrestingly beautiful. On all of these (and #9 in particular) the richness of the colors, the clarity of the images, and the luminosity of the faces are really extraordinary. If you ever feel like doing a tutorial again (and I don't mean to pressure you in any way because as enjoyable as sharing process may be, I know they must take many hours of work), it would be fascinating to learn how you achieved that.

Also, thank you so much for your offer (over on oneill_icontest) of sharing .psd files on occasion. That's extremely generous of you! I do use Photoshop, and it's a wonderful opportunity to keep in mind. (And in a million years, I would never want one of yours to see what not to do, heh!)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! For what it's worth, I've made a couple more Henry icons as part of my next icon post. If this one doesn't meet your needs or if you're just interested, all of my Eureka icons are uploaded here:

http://pics.livejournal.com/hsapiens/gallery/0009bb1f

and will be there before I actually post anything. Since I have very few Eureka icons at the moment, it's going to take me a long time to create enough icons to meet a minimum number for a post. If there's one there you would prefer, you're welcome to snag it even if I haven't posted it yet.

:) Thank you!
