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.

Concrit, you say?

Not enough Teal'c.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

There's never enough Teal'c. :) *smooches*

[paian]

All sooooo beautiful!

[janestarz.livejournal.com]

Wow. I've sniped Teal'c in his 60's outfit and credited. Thanks!

Awesome!

[meliffany.livejournal.com]

I love your Teal'c icons, especially #'s 57, 63, 69, & 78. Oh and thanks for the Firefly, Criminal Minds, and CSI icons too. They are all GRAND!

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

All are teh awesome.

Do you have the capability of making one that rotates among images?

I was thinking that one of Ford with "Death by TPTB" would be cool rotating between Fraiser, Beckett, Jacob Carter and Ford. *looks all cute and pleady*

[majorsamfan.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I really love the setesh guard nose drips and Indeed from Teal'c.

Oh, and the DbTPTB rotation could include Skaara, too, I guess, since he, you know, got blown up by Anubis.

[shelma32.livejournal.com]

Very cool :)

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I took a bunch and will credit! :-) Woo for some Eureka and Babylon 5 esspecially!

[jehnt.livejournal.com]

These are great. I'm really liking a lot of the b&w ones, especially 14, 50, 73, 96, 97, 103, 108, and 111 (yes, I agree that Will Smith is a fandom unto himself). Others I like a lot are 7, 8, 18, 38, 43, 92, and 93.

Grabbed this one for the eyebrow and the omg ::dies:: gorgeousness, will also be grabbing 55, I make this look good, 65, Setesh guard's nose drips, 83, Character in search of development, What have I become, 96.

[winterfish.livejournal.com]

Heheh. The Teal'c "The Setesh guard's nose drips" is great. Love 91 and 92. Gorgeous texture work on those.

[pellucid.livejournal.com]

These are great! I'm snagging one of Dee and one of Teal'c--will credit.

[paradox-dragon.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much. I am snagging the third Zoe icon, with the gun (I've been meaning to find a good Zoe icon for a while, and this one's lovely). Will credit. Thanks again!

[joannindiw.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[wychwood]

Snagging 52; thanks! :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You, my dear, are always too kind to me and I am very grateful. :) Thank you for commenting. Not only because I really, really appreciate all the encouragement but also because it reminded me that I had meant to go and grab this Jack icon from you. I've had a spotty internet connection at home (Road Runner is changing to Comcast here and it is NOT a smooth transition) so I open a lot of windows whenever I do have signal. I don't always get to comment, though, because of said spotty connection. I didn't think there was a company out there that could make Time Warner look good -- which only illustrates a lack of imagination on my part. :)

*TACKLEHUGS*

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :) Thank you for commenting.

Re: Awesome!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh! I love it when people tell me which ones hit their buttons because that's golden feedback. Thank you for the compliments!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I do have the capability of making animated icons and I can make you the one you describe. One word of caution -- lots of pictures = big file and the quality will suffer. And if we started including all the beloved characters killed off by TPTB -- sob! Thor! -- there isn't an ugly compression scheme drastic enough to squeeze them all into 40 KB. Grrrrrrrr.

I have placed this on my list of icons to make. I have some requests by my main fan, jalabert, to do first and a tutorial for elfcat255 but it won't take me long. Assuming that I can get a home internet connection that doesn't peter out after 5 minutes.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! By the way, rightclickdrool's theme this month is "Canadian Boys" and I was thinking that Dan Payne really needs to be represented, along with a bunch of my other favorite Stargate men. I'm planning to stop by your website and snag some pics for that, if you don't mind.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

The release of the new movies last week got me in the mood for Babylon 5 again and I can't believe I haven't iconned Eureka before now. I hope to fix this in the near future. Thanks for commenting!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*SMOOCHES* Thank you for the very detailed look-see that you gave these (even though I know you've already seen most of the SGA ones in the LIMS) and the feedback. You know, that's why I agreed to be part of lantis_lims in the first place; I adore feedback.

I can't get better without it. It's a little painful to dredge up some of my older icons because I used to sharpen the bejeezus out of them; it wasn't until a kind person pointed out my over sharpening that I got it (mostly) under control. I had hoped, in fact, to revisit some of these over-sharpened icons and correct them for IBAR but time was not on my side.

I've become increasingly enamored of b/w. It solves a multitude of color sins, to be sure, but it focuses me more on the content of the icon. It makes me look for ways to add drama whereas in color, I often want the color to star and so I purposefully avoid all that distracting drama. ;)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! It means the world to me that you find some of my icons and the humor to be comment-worthy; compliments are always sweet but are doubly so when they come from the true masters. 91 & 92 are my more recent work where I was trying to make something artistic as well as character-focused so I'm glad they stand out. Looking over my past work is a bit embarrassing. *hugs*

Thank you! :)
