Icons: LOTR [24]

10000_pixels — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:46:23 GMT

Not only did I remember that I have this icon journal, I also made icons for the first time in years. The first LOTR icons I've done in donkey's years, too. Shame shame shame, I still love the movies, Tolkien, the books. "Fellowship" was always the part I was fondest of, in retrospect. Hence the icons, which hopefully are only a beginning. ♥

My icons are probably very old-fashioned in style but I honestly haven't had much of an eye on any of the icon communities around here, and some of the things that seem to be very popular regarding colouring etc. I don't particularly like. Oh well, I hope I'm not repeating myself.

Icons: Buffy the Vampire Slayer [36]

10000_pixels — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:19:13 GMT

I've been having a bit of a crisis today regarding me making icons that, apparently, aren't up to standards of either what's en vogue or generally just too average, and I asked myself why I even bother. And, as much as it hurts to not feel appreciated, I do enjoy the creative process, as it is. I guess I'll just have to aspire to improve for the future.

But enough of my morose self-doubts. I bring you 36 "The Zeppo" icons. There's plenty of Xander here, naturally.

Icons: The Phantom of the Opera [21]

10000_pixels — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:29:15 GMT

I've never thought I'd make another "Phantom" icon, but now it's been such a long time and I was looking at the pictures and there it was, the pretty and the angst, and I just couldn't have another go. I also didn't look at my old icons, and now I find it rather satisfying that I wasn't repeating myself too badly in terms of cropping and style.

I wish it wouldn't take this long from one post to another, but my ability to concentrate was shot to hell the last couple of months, and whenever I'd opened PS, I was staring on the screen with my brain completely wiped clean of any spark of inspiration. But I hope that my icon-fu is back. Well, at least I made a large batch, and some may even be good icons. Oh well, judge for yourself. The set's entirely made from S3 Episode "Amends". ;)

Icons: Vienna Teng [21]

10000_pixels — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 14:44:44 GMT

21 Vienna Teng icons, inspired by her latest album. The text on all icons, save those that only have her name on, are taken from various of her song lyrics, mostly used shamelessly out of context.

Icons: Hugo Weaving [15]

10000_pixels — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 13:30:45 GMT

Again, it's been forever since I've posted icons. I've started with a batch of Hugo Weaving icons weeks ago, but then I set up my old computer anew, and when I've just got around to dealing with Photoshop, I got a new PC! With it came a newer version of PS than I previously had, namely CS. I played with a trial of CS2, and there were a lot of things I didn't like at all, and even though I'm now running on a 2.6 GHz processor with plenty of RAM, CS2 was very slow. CS looks very neat though. I added a few icons, but all of them where finished before I got my resources sorted, so they are rather plain. There will hopefully be more icons soon!

I've started this batch way, way back, and I just couldn't get it finished. I am currently not inspired to make more Profiler icons, sadly enough. I'm sure the mood will return, eventually. Until then, enjoy 54 icons, all made from screencaptures of the episode 1x19: FTX: Field Training Exercise.

I can't believe that I haven't posted any icons in 2006 so far. That's. What have I been doing? Yes, I know, getting a life isn't exactly helpful, and I have been making icons here and there, just nothing that would have made up a post. Until now! I bring you the wonderful Tony Head, inspired by a picture post on ash_daily.

105 (yep, I'm crazy) icons, and all of them from the BtVS episode 2x17 Passion. I may have gone overboard a leetle. Again. Well, it's just that the episode is very dear to me. *sniffle*

Wow, two post within a week. Must pamper the muse before she buggers off again. Heh! So, courtesy of a few hours of procrastination on my part, I bring you a set of 30 icons of actor Hugo Weaving, recent winner of the AFI Award for Best Male Lead. Cheers!

I haven't posted any new icons here in months, mostly due to Internet and personal troubles. And during those troubles, my icon muse buggered off, too. But it seems the fickle thing is back for good now. I hope. And I come back with a batch of BtVS icons from the episode 4x12 "A New Man". And yeah, it might be obvious who my favourite character is.... ;)

Since I can't make anything but sets for an entire episode for a TV show, I've now moved on to another fandom. 30 episodes from Profiler, all form second season episode Power Corrupts. I think it's pretty obvious where my preferences lie. ;P

I don't know, I just love doing icon batches from a single episode. Today brings you 30 icons from the BtVS episode 4x10, Hush. Oh, and a few of the icons I've done months ago, but then I lost my icon muse, and when it was back, I moved on to other icons first.

I indulged in ROTK icons for the last two days. This is the outcome. I'm quite pleased, if I may say so, with the majority of the icon in this batch. In case you wonder why I tuck the icons inside a table: A lot of those have a white frame, and on the white LJ background, it wasn't really obvious where the border ended. ;)

Caution! Rant

10000_pixels — Tue, 28 Jun 2005 04:26:51 GMT

I usually don't rant on this journal, but since this is 100% icon related, I feel entitled.

What the fuck is this new latest trend on icon_tutorial to slap a tutorial into one freakin' huge graphic? I absolutely loathe it, and I think with good reasons, too.

It's an absolute bitch for dial-up users to wait till anything loads, I imagine. (I have broadband, but I do try to be considerate of people that are not me.)

If your PhotoBucket, or wherever the image is hosted, is down, there is nothing but an empty space, or the big ol' red X o' doom, depending on which broswer you're using. If there's text plus images, a tutorial can still be useful to a degree.

You can't copy & paste from a graphic. Sometimes it's just convenient to copy & paste, say, a hex color code into PS. Once you see what a certain color works, you can go on playing with it.

Some of those tutorials-in-one-humongous-graphic are note really well organized.

How the heck do you edit such a thing? I mean, you might have not been 100% clear on one step, and people ask to clarify. If you've text, you just edit your post and re-phrase, or add. So now, would anyone bother to edit the graphic, and reupload? Sheesh!

It's pretentious and that in itself makes it a source of annoyance!

Right, I think that's my major gripes. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I wonder if it's jsut me though, and everyone else thinks this formate for a tutorial is the awesomest thing eva.

Also, another pet-peeve. Fake-cuts? If it doesn't look like a real one, don't call it a fake-cut. ARGH! The html for a fake cut isn't really that hard, and if you can't figure it out, a normal link does just fine! But if you call it fake-cut and it looks like a regular link, you make yourself look stupid!

Right. I think I'm done.

PS: Double-htm (bolding AND underlining) means it's true, just so you know....

Icon Brushes #003 [Icon Swirls]

10000_pixels — Mon, 20 Jun 2005 06:55:44 GMT

I seem to be on a roll at the moment. This is a set of 15 icon-sized swirl brushes. I usually use them when I have a base and the actual picture on top in a smaller size to give the background a bit more life. I do have icons like that somewhere. The brushes were made from swirly letters of various decorative fonts, and most have a bit of grungy texture added.
