Hello, I'm back! Here's a giant batch of icons. The majority of them, except for the classic actors and films, were made for a bunch of different icon challenges that I never got around to posting, so it's all quite random (especially the miscellaneous section). I just finished an insanely busy semester (only one year left!), during which I was only able to bust out about an icon a week. So I'm looking forward to summer, and to hopefully being more productive around here ♥

I kind of went crazy and decided to do a bunch of icons on some movies/fandoms I haven't really attempted yet. I haven't been feeling terribly creative (unless you count my super-ingenious center cropping), but I wanted to get these out anyway before the new semester starts (today, boo!). I wanted to do BSG especially, because I've been watching forever and it's almost over. There was a lot of ground to cover, so I decided to stick with one episode (Of course, it's the one in which their environment is completely washed out, so most ended up B&W). For reference to the other show I iconed (a completely rambling Merlin wank), see end of post.

And of course, girly movies. The novel of Atonement is better than the movie, which is true in most cases (except maybe Fight Club), but the movie was very pretty regardless. A Little Princess and Strictly Ballroom are old-school loves of mine, and I couldn't not make icons of all the pretty, pretty dancing. (I do apologize in advance for #44. He was just so ridiculous and sparkly.) /End looong ramble. So anyway, icons!

( A bit of musicality, please. )

Yeah, so, it's been a while. School and work conspired to keep me away from many enjoyable things, but finals are done and I'm back, so yay! I was able to do a couple of LIMS contests for the first few weeks of the semester (30 Rock, Doctor Who [Donna]), so here are those, plus a bunch of Christmasy icons. I also had to get a new computer, so if anything looks wonky with the coloring, that's probably why.

Hope everyone has a good holiday break!

( Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow. )

Here are some icons from a crapload of fandoms. Some have been hanging around for a while, some were the result of my last grasp of freedom this week. Yep, it's school time again, which means the slow reader gets to read at least 1 1/2 novels a week. Nose, say hi to your old friend, Grindstone.

So hope you like these. If you haven't heard of any of these shows, I highly recommend any of them without reservation. Go forth. Be entertained.

( I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it. )

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)

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.

Go from this:

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

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).

Medium-sized batch of icons. A bit of a mishmash, but whatevs.
My first Cinderella one won Best Cropping in the d_ladicontest challenge last week, so yay! That's why there are a bunch of random kissy ones all smooshed together and only one Hercules: they were entries.

Also, the Seven Deadly Sins ones I made a long time ago, just on a whim, so I didn't think to save any blank ones, which sucks. Half of this post is just randomness plucked from the depths of my hard drive.

*Note: I spelled 51 as do-re-me, originally, so it's fixed now. Apparently I can sing solfege, but can't spell it. Thanks to all who pointed that out!

*Another note, because I can't not screw these things up, the Seven Deadly Sins ones were originally saved in jpg format and were too big (over 40kb), so I've saved them in png form and they're down to size, now. Thanks!
