47. 156 Icons: Supernatural, SPN Cast, Iconfest Grab Bag

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

64 Supernatural (6x17 & 6x18)
13 Supernatural TV Guide Fan Faves (Jensen, Jared, & Misha)
34 Supernatural Conventions (JIB Con 2011)
45 ic0nfest icons (Katie Cassidy, Martha Jones, Billie Piper, Christian Bale, Being Human, Scott Caan, The King's Speech, Misfits, Hercule Poirot, The Vampire Diaries, Charmed, In Plain Sight)
=====================
156 icons, total





Notes:
I was going to hold onto all of these until I could add in all the icons I made for an upcoming icon battle that we'll post in just a few days but I'm giddy over getting another season of Supernatural so I'm posting now! The colors on this batch are all over the map. I ADORED "Frontierland" but the whole episode is sepia-toned. Talk about a boring mass of icons on the page. I've experimented a bunch with the colors; some were more successful than others. Sometimes I stuck with the browns, trying for a subtle differentiation, and others I tried to tease out the original colors before they messed with the colors. You might notice my fascination with Dean's holster *cough* or just Dean in general. 6x18 is a love letter to Jensen, I'm convinced. I don't think he's ever been hotter on screen.

Similarly, the con photography is a bear. The rooms are often dimly lit, the actors are backlit from the screen, and there are random flashes from various cameras. Again, I played around a bunch without ever settling on one best way to deal with the various lighting issues. Special thanks to anastdean, janie_tangerine, and hils whose amazing photography I used here. ♥

I have a couple more fans' photos downloaded but I have yet to find photos of Jensen feeling up Misha's inner thigh. :| Or Seb kissing Misha. Can anyone link me to these?

As soon as I finish the Icon Battle this month, I'll get back to finishing my icons for help_japan and icons I've promised people.

Aww, I love your SPN/J2 icons, esp. the ones from JIB, so much much better than the ones I made myself! Thanks for sharing!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

What a lovely compliment! Con photos are HARD, aren't they? Thank you for the kind words. ♥

[colls]

Stunning, as usual! ;D

I adore so many that I can't possibly list them all, but I really like 36 & 60
and OMG the lips-crop on 64... GUH

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're too kind to me. When we post the icon battle results it will probably reveal all too clearly just how ~fascinated I am by Jensen's lips. *cough*

[kristypadalecki.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons, hon! :D

Did you get the PM I resent to you?

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Yes, I did get it and I have it flagged. I might have been in thrall to the caps and JIB Con photos. Now that I've posted, I have the icon battle to finish for the end of this month and then I can go back to enjoying fandom. I shall reply ASAP. *hugs*

[writethings.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[girlguidejones.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy these, thank you! Took several, and all the ones with Bobby (yay!)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Yay for Bobby-love! :D

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Oh my these are gorgeous! I love the coloring for the western episode. And huh, looks like I took pictures that did work for graphics (yeah I still have to try myself xD), but seriously, all the JIB ones came out absolutely lovely. And I'm hunting the Seb/Misha kiss myself, but no luck for now. If I do I'll totally send a link your way.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh, you took LOTS of usable pics. Choosing amongst them was *hard* and I cannot wait to see what you do with them! *chinhands* You're going to be pleasantly surprised, I believe. :D

I would LOVE to have that link. If I hadn't seen the video, I would begin to suspect a conspiracy to fool fandom with the stories. ;)

[jenniferjensen.livejournal.com]

These are so gorgeous! I took a bunch of the Supernatural icons!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh my, that's a particularly lovely compliment as I know you're more than able to make gorgeous SPN icons. :D It's always a lovely thing to hear from fellow icon makers. Thank you, bb. ♥

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

awesomesauce. taking a shit-ton and will credit of course. :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Hey you. *hugs* Thank you for the compliment, bb. *smishes you tightly*

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[sky-angel22.livejournal.com]

these are great! snagged so many. Thanks!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! ♥

[pokecharm.livejournal.com]

another faboo set :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[priestess-kaiba.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons! :D Snagged a ton of SPN! :D

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! :D :D

[sheryden.livejournal.com]

Snagging #9, #44, and #73. Will credit when used. :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! Thank you for letting me know the numbers snagged. :D

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

Lol, oh man. You have millions of comments already. *intimidated*

But I snagged SO MANY from this post. EXPERIMENT WITH COLOR ALL THE TIME. The list of icons I have snagged is kinda long so I won't bore you with it, but I particularly loved #36! The coloring is so, so gorgeous in that one. And also #47 even though his facial expression is made of lol.

Anyway, THE PRETTY. Yeah. ♥

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Pfft! You should NEVER be intimidated. I love your work and am thrilled to hear from you, bb. I'm honored to have you comment. ♥

You mentioned the two icons that gave me the most heartache colorwise -- so I'm especially glad that they work! #36 was sepia, sepia, and more sepia. And #47 (I love his determined face! Castiel is so *fierce* ;) ) drove me nuts as it was a simple background replacement but I could not come up with something I thought "worked." Took me forever. I would have given up but we get so few fierce BAMF Castiel moments that I wanted to keep that one.

[sntmentalfkness.livejournal.com]

We can never get enough Creepsha! NICE WORK!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Creepsha?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I have shared this with fellow fans of Creeper!Misha and the word is that I must now make some Creepsha icons. Thank you for the excellent laugh. :D

[elfcat255.livejournal.com]

I actually snagged some of the Supernatural ones from Frontierland...I loved the episode and desperately wanted some western Dean icons..*g*...great work as usual H.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

HEY YOU! *glomps* Long time no see, bb! How are you? How're the dogs and horses? I miss you, bb. :( Hope that all is well in your world.

Western Dean was a helluva a good time. I love it when he's got his boyish glee on.

[msninacat.livejournal.com]

Took #27, 91. Will credit!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! :D

[ripedecay.livejournal.com]

♥♥ Loving this post.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[yourlibrarian]

Great SPN set! Snagging #27.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

\o/ \o/ \o/

I'm so glad that I can contribute in some small way to you. Your posts give me something to think about that I've never before considered. Glad to know it's not always one way. :D

[lazy-8s.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I snagged #14. Will credit.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I've been restlessly waiting for this episode to air because I *needed* a Sam "Howdy" icon. :D

[revengerv.livejournal.com]

They are amazing. Especially all SPN. I take some and will credit.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[hamarakissa.livejournal.com]

Aww these are amazing! Snagging a few from SPN and the cast - will credit <3

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your kind words! <3

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ I've had to fanwank that a little but I've decided that Sam is not about television or movies while Dean revels in pop culture from Star Trek to Doctor Sexy to classic horror & B-movies (Hollywood Babylon) to Casa Erotica.

[siriala.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, as always ! As far as I'm concerned, every episode is a love letter to Jensen but his obvious pleasure and fun in this one made it even better. I'm snagging quite a few icons. One of my favourites might be the profile one from the con (92), I love everything about it.

And bonus Christian Bale, this post is nothing short of fabulous :) Thanks for sharing !

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D Jensen is ALWAYS beautiful, this is true. I've recently introduced my BFF to His Beautifulness and we regularly just look at each other and wonder how the man is even human, he's so pretty. And yet, there's a whole new level of pretty when he's playing a gleeful Dean. He's so pretty when he's angsting but he's transcendent when he's smiling and happy.

I loved that photo by anastdean. It's the absolute perfect photo, I thought.

♥ ♥ ♥

[geckoholic]

Great job, I especially like the coloring on #32, #36 and #37. :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! #36 was an especially tough cap to find the color so I'm especially glad to know it works color-wise!
