50. 205 Icons: SPN, Misha Collins, Dark Angel, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Inception, P&P

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

67 Supernatural (6x21, 6x22, 4x17, for majestic_shriek)
20 Misha Collins (as himself & in non-SPN roles, for lizajaneok)
48 Dark Angel (Pollo Loco, Jensen-centric)
20 Doctor Who (The Doctor's Wife)
05 Star Trek (for lizajaneok)
32 Inception (Cillian Murphy-centric)
13 Pride & Prejudice (1995)
===========
205 icons, total




Notes: Continuing from my last post, I'm experimenting with color and now looking, tentatively, into a more interesting composition. I've cropped Castiel's face in just about every way it can be so continuing on as usual is pointless. I'm still searching for a different style that works for me. I might have made too many icons from the new Misha photo and too many Jensen Ben icons from Dark Angel. Oops?

Months ago I promised immlass that I'd make her a bunch of icons from Inception, with particular attention paid to Cillian Murphy for her pb use. I'm finally starting to fill that promise. However, I get bored when iconning the same face over and over without break so I started getting creative with textures and colors on a couple. I've included the standard version from before I started messing with it for immlass as judging by other pb icons, the point isn't to be arty but to have a clear emotion.

Pride & Prejudice. I'm on the third disc but I find this part of the story depressing and I couldn't stand it any longer. I jumped ahead to some happier times so this is just a small, motley collection.

Took two Trek ones, thanks.

Will acknowledge you.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! This was my first foray into Star Trek icons so I'm glad it worked. :D

[failegaidin.livejournal.com]

Love 31, 37, 38, 50, 51, 54, 135 and 137

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oooo! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know which ones worked for you. I LOVE knowing which ones ping with people, especially since I'm experimenting with just about everything these days. Thank you. ♥

[fiendish-blonde.livejournal.com]

Love the colouring on these! They're so pretty! I adore bright icons! ♥

Taking some Castiel icons. I think you need to do some Saito Inception icons because nobody else does *sad face* :D

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Bright and saturated coloring is something people either love or hate.

Saito doesn't get the love? I'll pay attention to adding him when working on the next batch. I'd been concentrating on Cillian Murphy's character as a favor to a friend but I'm happy to add Saito, too.

[txduck.livejournal.com]

I do love it when you post your icons,they are all so pretty... and quite inspiring *G*

I think need a couple of those doctor who ones, if that ok :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you. Take what you wish. ♥ ♥

[gentlyepigrams]

Yayyy more Inception icons! I love the way you've made Cillian Murphy's eyes really pop.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

♥ ♥ ♥ I finally got to the Cillian-heavy part of the movie. I didn't realize it would take so long to get to it. That's mostly his own eye color, actually. They're quite mesmerizing.

[pyjamagurl.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons! I feel spoilt for choice between Supernatural, Misha, Dark Angel and Doctor Who xD

Also, I think it is past time I watched 24 purely for half-naked, long haired Misha...

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

I have a total love/hate relationship with 24. Hate the show but its existence gave me shirtless Misha Collins in S1 and shirtless Michael Shanks in Season 6. The show was pretty awful; do yourself a favor and just watch Misha's episodes.

[noscrubs12345.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful! ♥

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3

[meathiel]

Snagged tons and will credit if used. I really like your colouring!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[xafirah.livejournal.com]

I see you're experimenting with coloring again :) What effect do you want to achieve? More vibrant/intense colors?
I've been experimenting a little too - with my Community icons from my latest batch and I colored them with textures set on Soft Light or/and Color Burn/Dodge etc and used layer masks A LOT :).

I love your Doctor Who icons, #154 & #155 are perfect.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I see you're experimenting with coloring again

Oh dear. Is that good or bad? ;) I am, indeed, experimenting again. I'm restless and dissatisfied with what I'm doing. I need to find something new to do so yes, I'm experimenting with color.

I do want more vibrant colors. I look at posts of SPN icons I've created and they're all dark and drab and single person, usually close up in their faces. I want color and happiness.I look at the way that juanxyo and kawaii_chicken use eye-popping color and it looks juicy and fruity and happy. I'm not made for working with color quite that saturated and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. I look at tle_lovie69 and think, "hey, that looks like something I wish I had made." Vibrant and saturated is my way of trying to do similar things without copying.

I stink at using textures for coloring. Perhaps it's because I'm too lazy to use a bunch and then mask out most of it? I have no sense of what will work best and what settings to choose. And while experimentation is the only real way to learn, the sheer number of textures and settings options is mind boggling for me.

I love Amy Pond's face and hair. She's very pretty and they film her to catch her expressive eyes. For some reason, I'm generally more interested in the companions than in the Doctors. *shrug*

[silveronthetree.livejournal.com]

Everytime you post icons they get more awesome! I love the vibracy of the colours and the text work is excellent. I adore 106, 141, 150, 155, 206 and as I have icon spaces, I'll definitely be using some of them. Wonderful!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. That's a lovely thing to say. I've been paying special attention to text after getting some recent feedback on it. I've been revisiting them after letting them sit on my HD for a couple of days and 99% of the time, I end up re-doing the text. At least once. I hate text!

Thank you for giving me specific numbers. I appreciate that you took the trouble to do so. ♥ ♥

[reveria.livejournal.com]

wow, these are gorgeous! snagging a whole bunch and will of course credit :)

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[nicole-sill.livejournal.com]

Took two Cas and a lovely TARDIS who loves her stolen idiot. Thanks for that one inparticular.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

It's my pleasure! Thank *you* for the nice comment. :D

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Goddamit, I love your coloring!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! This batch is experimental so it's good to know it works for some. (I already know it doesn't work for others.)

[majestic-shriek.livejournal.com]

YAY ICONS!

I'll, uh, be snagging mine (:P Thank you!) and some others as well - these are all gorgeous!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome; thank YOU for the generous donation. ♥ ♥

[zatnikatel.livejournal.com]

I'd love to snag a bunch if that's OK?!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Of course it's okay! While I technically make them to amuse myself I will never deny getting a thrill when I see someone using an icon I made. *hugs*

[penikitty.livejournal.com]

Wow...I love the Doctor Who icons and have nabbed a few, thanks!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! That makes me very happy. <3

[grlmonday.livejournal.com]

These are really beautiful.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3

[whitewildhorses.livejournal.com]

Very nice coloring and cropping ! Thank you for sharing, your bright colors made my day !

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that lovely comment -- it made MY day. :D

[cancoydu.livejournal.com]

THIS BATCH IS AH-MAZING! *the person who just watched happy endings*

But seriously, how you manage it even getting better each time while you're already perfect! <3

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

That's high praise indeed and I appreciate it. Thank you. :D <3 <3

[lenaaa-creation.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm so stunned by your colours and your textures. This is so amazing. I saved some icons, will credit of course. Really amazing work!

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've been trying to play with textures more as it seems like a hole in my toolkit. ♥

[angelus2hot]

I was blown away by the awesomeness of the SPN icons and then I spotted the Spock icons! SQUEEEEEE!!!!! <333 I've snagged and will credit as they're uploaded.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

You have lizajaneok to thank for those; she requested Spock icons as part of her help_japan donation. The colors of TOS are a joy to work with color-wise. I didn't have to do anything to them. They were naturally gorgeous color-wise.

[lazy-8s.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!! Snagged #46 and 62. Will credit.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I like knowing which icons work for people and appreciate your letting me know. <3

[lunarwolfik.livejournal.com]

These are fabulous and the coloring is GREAT!! Hope you don't mind if I snag some of the SPN and DW ones? Will credit of course, thanks for sharing such loveliness! :D

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely compliment and please do snag anything you want, at any time. I get a thrill when people use an icon I made. :D

[kristypadalecki.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons! <33
