Yay, my very first fanmix. Please be gentle. Basically, each song aligns with an episode, so one mix is an entire season. I plan to do one for each season of the new series.

I tend to associate the tone of a song with an episode more than the actual lyrics, so some are looser fits than others.

Oh, and I'm not particularly shippy, but feel free to interpret these however you'd like. Let me know what you think!


( I think you need a Doctor. )

Nothing big to post today, just a new layout made in fits of procrastination. I do have some stuff in the works, but it's another two weeks before finals are over. Boo. So hopefully I'll be much more productive over the summer.

Random TV notes: I'm loving the crap out of Doctor Who this series.
The Doctor + Donna = Ridiculous amounts of awesome.
So I had to switch to my Who mood theme, but I'm totally making a Series 4 one when it's over.

Also, re: Battlestar Galactica - When the hell did Saul Tigh become my favorite character? Everyone just keeps getting progressively more insane. It's awesome.

What's this? I'm still alive? And making an actual post? Yeah, it's been a while. School is, as they say, kicking my ass. I'm in a momentary lull between several soul-crushing projects, so I'm taking the opportunity to post some of the stuff I've been making sporadically over the last few months. Lots of flotsam and jetsam from icontests and such.

P.S. My kitty owns your SOUL!! (#101-103)

( Sing 'Melancholy Baby!' )

If you haven't heard the song "The Man That Got Away," please, do yourself a favor and download it now. It hasn't been called one of the greatest musical numbers in motion picture history for nothing.

Also, a crappy You Tube video of it: here, but you'll get the general idea of its awesomeness.

I know. Not new icons. School just started and my schedule just imploded into negative free time. But I thought I'd use the little I do have to do an instructional post.

Warning! This is especially for images that are overall too much of a dull yellow. Made mostly to get a semi-realistic skin tone. It's gonna look really odd with normal caps...like an explosion of neon blue. Examples of caps in the cut.

Made with CS2. NO SELECTIVE COLORING. Presumably translatable. 7 steps.

( No hablo French. )

Also made with this tut:

Hola, it is me! This and the next post or so should be fairly random, as I'm in a bunch of different LIMS & icontests and need to burn off the entries, but of course that's nothing new for me. And in an effort to broaden my iconing canon (though I can hardly call it that), I present my first ever icons for The Wire, which is an amazing show and you should totally go watch it now (unless you have a low tolerance for excessive violence, language and bureaucracy).

I made this a little while ago, but hadn't gotten around to posting it. Not my best, not my worst, and the icons are super generic, but I can live with it. Hope you like it, though!

Again, both plain and bordered themes, with a preview of both.
