21. 86 Icons: SG-1, SG-1 Actors, Babylon 5

44 Stargate SG-1
10 Teryl Rothery & Michael Shanks as themselves or other roles
07 Eureka
25 Babylon 5

TEASERS:


Overall, not my favorite set. I haven't had much icon fu for the past month and I can see it in my lack of textures on a lot of these. However, these Janet Fraiser (SG-1) and Susan Ivanova (Babylon 5) icons have been burning a metaphorical hole in my pocket since right before I hit my slump so I'm posting regardless. EDIT: I didn't mean to imply people should bolster my ego. There are icons within this batch that I like. As a set, though, I'm less pleased than I'd like to be. Too many of these seem like something I could have made 8 months ago; I prefer to feel as if I'm improving.

Wow, these are wonderful - lush and strong and decisive. They project such confidence and style. If these fall short in your mind, it can only be in comparison to a platonic ideal of an icon set that exists in your imagination; they certainly shine next to any group I've seen in the real world. :-)

Taking all the Jacks and Daniels. I particularly adore 1, 2, 6, and 9. In 6, you just control every single pixel in the frame, don't you; it's as clean and luminous as anything I've seen. And 9 is a brilliant and somehow subtly witty interpretation of that iconic cap. ::boggles:: Also taking 22, 23, and 25, which are all beautiful and original. I love the coloring in 23, especially the contrast between the red-orange of the lips and turquoise cast of the reflected light around the eyes, chin, and hair. And I love 36, just the sheer joy you capture in that moment. Gorgeous set!

*blush* You are really far too kind. :) I'm sorry to be so late in replying; I've been away from the computer at home and swamped at work and with holidays and my being overwhelmed by the required sociability...well, suffice to say I'm so behind on LJ that it's rather embarrassing.

I completely love how #23 came out and it was a complete accident. Those colors and the lighting weren't obvious when I started playing but they just popped out when I was putzing around and I didn't really *do* anything. That's all Teryl's wonderful expression and the coloring AND lighting is a happy accident. I love that icon to pieces, though. :) I wish I could recreate it in new icons but so far attempts have failed. As for #36, there's hardly any way for that moment to turn out as anything other than wonderful, you know? The actors weren't yet aware of the slashy potential and they played it like two people who cared and, and, and...it's just one of my happiest t.v. moments. *sigh*
