ooooooo...snagging lots!...These are great!

Thank you! :) I saved these up so that I could post some SG-1 icons so that I could promote sg1_lims over at stargate_icons. ;-)

These are absolutely gorgeous. # 52 is priceless :D

Thank you! It was such a priceless expression on his face. He's a joy to icon. :)

Oh Lord, these are wonderful, as always! Hehe at #98.

*hugs* I ♥ you. :) I stared at that cap forEVER, trying to come up with a caption for it. I'm glad it worked; I was worried that since it was so small that "Boomer" wouldn't be recognizable any longer. *whew*

These are so awesome! I have so much love for 53 and 62.

Thank you! :)

These are beautiful.

Is it ok to use one or two of them?

- Call your mother.
I wish I could. I would give almost anything to be able to pick up the phone and call her.

Thank you! You're welcome to use any of the icons I post in this journal as you see fit. :)

You know, that is EXACTLY why I include the admonition to call Mom. So many icon makers treat "rules" as if they're deadly serious things (Credit Me or Die!). I figured as long as anyone was looking down there for action demands, I'd sneak in something that truly was important. *hugs you*

YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

*squeak!*

Email me your address so I can send you your con stuff.

Con stuff? Cool! I will send you my home addy as next Tuesday I start my vacation and won't be coming back to the office until January. *does happy vacation dance*

Totally snagging 1, 23/24/25 (haven't decided yet, lol), and 42! :)

You're snagging from me? That seems backwards but I'm honored. I wasn't able to choose amongst those 3, either. I think that I made about a dozen variations of that icon. I love LIMS but I end up futzing and making a million tiny variations. Good thing Ben Browder is so much fun to look at. ;-)

YEY I've been waiting for this post. :D

DARK ANGEL! *flails happily*

This is some gorgeous stuff. So artistic!! And I love how you used text in this batch, especially on #71, 73, 74, 22 (*snag*), 8 and #59 (LOL). The lighting and texture on the Babylon 5 and SG1 is just exquisite. I love the neat kind of painted effect of the coloring in this bath, like #35, #37 and #39 and the last Cam row. And #92 is ♥. My transgenic peeps! I see a lot of compositional improvement in this batch, wow.

And #98! LMAO!! That owns way too much. Weirdly that is almost exactly what I say whenever I see that part of the episode now, LOL! Or I just giddily yell "ZOMG, BOOMER!!111!" at the TV...>_>

I think this is my favorite batch yet. I will save it and plunder it later when I get my elJay all paid up again. Really wonderful work!

Awwww, thank you. :) You are too kind.

Every once in a while, I get in a Dark Angel mood. Such pretty people, such a great post-apocalyptic world, such a tragedy to have been canceled before they could finish the story. (Feh on Fox!) The show is a visual feast, though, which makes icons fun. I've never seen a show where I could have been happy with either of two pairings: Max/Logan or Max/Alec. It took me a while to warm up to the whole transgenics as carnival freaks but Joshua was a great character.

I was uncertain about the coloring in that last row of Cams. I liked the orange/blue play but then I'd look at his skin color and think, "that's just not natural." *shrug* Composition is my largest concern. I look at a post of my icons like this and I see lots of faces. Not a lot of scenery. I want to develop an eye for caps that are good for making icons that are less about pretty faces. (However much pleasure I get from staring at them while making icons. *g*)

I can't see Grace Park as anything OTHER than Boomer these days. She was so brilliant as the mole Cylon that any character she plays is now just "her cover" for me. I can't even see her in the SG-1 episode where she's crushing on Daniel without thinking, "Run, Daniel, run! She's a skin job!"

These are fantastic. I love your use of color.

Thank you! :) That's good to hear as I'm having a color crisis of late.

Very purdy! :)

Thank you, hon! :)

These are wonderful... really, really lovely :D

Thank you! I KNEW I'd seen that icon you're using somewhere but I couldn't figure out where I'd seen it. I'm planning to snag that from you. I love Sam and her apples. *g*

#20 is absolutely beautiful. Wow. I love the texture on it. Makes it look like an artifact (finally something that will make Daniel interested in her! ;-D). SO MUCH LOVE for Janet in 31. Wow. I'm stealing that one, for sure. Also #35 be mine naow.

Also love Cam's expression in #23, Sam with a big gun in #1, #28 is just gorgeous. 59 is BRILLIANT. 76 is absolutely gorgeous. So, so prettiful. In #45, it looks kind of like Fifth is wearing a clerical collar. Which is very, very freaky.

There are times I can't believe you and I use the same show to make icons. I mean that in the best way, of course! It's just... wow. :D

I'm glad you like that Vala icon. The last round of sg1_lims involved having to flood an icon with a single color and I was *trying* to make some samples. I wasn't really certain that I liked it. I've been very wishy washy for the last several months. I never noticed that Fifth looked like he was wearing a clerical collar! Ha!

There are times I can't believe you and I use the same show to make icons.
You are WAY too kind to me -- and way too disparaging of your own talent. I've been thinking to propose that we work together to make some icons. I think we could come up with some awesome icons. I haven't had the time to do something like that but it's in the back of mind as something I think would be a lot of fun.

These are lovely. :)

Thank you! :)

OK, "mutant mutant cylon" cracked me up :D

Hee! My job here is done. :)

Snagging a few, thanks! These are really great.

You're more than welcome.

I notice that you recently friended my personal LJ and you're very welcome to do so. If you want to follow my fitful updates of life, I'm flattered and will friend you back. If what you wanted was just icon updates, this is the better LJ to friend; I won't be insulted if you de-friend there and friend here instead. :)

I just wanted to be certain that you have the right LJ for your purposes. *g*

snagging a lot in Dark ANgel and SG1!! Thank you!!!

You're welcome!

Snagged #98. That stuff is fragging awesome ^^

oh, so pretty! Janet and Martouf, awwww.. snagging cuz I miss them! and both 59 and 98 are lol. I love the blue in 75, makes me want to do a layout in that color or something, it's so striking.

Jensen is so wee in the DA ones, I sort of forgot.

Janet and Martouf were two of my all-time faves. I was seriously Not Happy when the writers killed them. I'm glad you like the blue; that was an experiment on my part. I'm not certain what I think of it -- I like the blue but I don't think the thing works as an icon -- but I can see how that blue would make for a visually appealing layout.

Jensen still had a bit of his baby face but he was hot even then. Now, he's nuclear. :)

I love the stargate ones...awesome

Thank you! :)

I LOVE the Mutant Mutant Cylon one. XD. That actually made my day, oddly enough lol.

*g* Then my work has been successful.

Taking 83 - very many beautiful icons! Make more B5 icons plz?

Also, can people use the Ivanova is God icon with the halo that you used in the post to publicize your B5 icons? That one is awesome.

Bab5 is my first fandom and I will continue to make icons for it, certainly.

I think you found the Ivanova/Halo icon in another post but I wanted to be certain you knew that I would be happy for you to use of the icons I made.

These are just lovely. I've yakked about #31 at length, but just have to add that the satiny sheen on the skin and the way that sheen is reflected in the background texture is stunning. The soft, perfectly blended edges are a point of astonished admiration for me as well. Also love 6 - awesome work on the smoothing and coloring; love how many colors, including reds and turquoises, you get into the skin tones - and 9, 11, 12, 19, 36, 37, 43, 49, 66, 77, 79, 80. So many - I love them all! I particularly like the bw style you're exploring here (11, 51, 52, etc) - very stark and intense; the high contrast figures against the quietly modulated bgs are understated but dramatic; they pack a lot of tension - I can't stop looking at them.

Oh man, #31 is a total accident. I played and played and played and played with that. I couldn't re-create that if my life depended on it but I SO wanted to use that Janet cap. She's so pretty and she's so *human* in that moment.

Those skin tones are part of my current lack of icon-fu. I just can't decide if I like them. They seem so artificial to my eye but I can't make them look "natural" to me. I think in a page of them, they look normalized but by themselves they look a bit wonky to me. But it could be I'm just out of the groove. *shrug*

I'm pleased with the b/w icons. You've pegged it that I'm exploring it. I like the drama of the b/w and contrast. I've been learning how to use the levels adjustment to perfect b/w (to my eye) and I love what it does for the character. It isolates him without looking plain. It's minimalist without straying into boring.

I love the SG1 ones :D. Will snag #16, 22, 30 and 76. Will of course credit when use. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I hope they prove useful. :)

Snurching Jack's "Seriously?", Cam's "Is it Friday yet?" and Teal'c's "not amused".

I love a whole lot more than that but I'm running out of iconage space. ;p

Oof -- sorry to be so late in replying. Time got away from me. *hugs* Happy to hear from you. *hugs again* I hope that all is well with you, m'dear. :)

lol a lot!

Seriously? Space Pyramids! ...cupcake!! Just the best. Thanks for sharing your Obvious Talent with the whole class.

*snort* Thank you for the kind words. :)
