I finally discovered My Chemical Romance and that got me in an iconning mood again. #1-6 were made for iconthat's flower theme, 8-13 are from a specific photoshoot that the friend who got me into MCR's music requested.

icontalking had a text challenge and I felt inspired, so I finally had another rewatch of Three and made 10 icons. The 11th is from earlier for a different challenge (and probably community).

As you can see, I'm still operating on the assumption that Pietro is the X-Men's Peter. Made for icontalking's Trope-O-Rama, iconthat & iconcolors.

My god, this show broke my heart. So naturally as a defense mechanism I made silly icons, see #20(I mean, really, what's with the T-Rex arms?)-28. If you have more ideas for the Bohner set, let me know!

I had meant to only post the icons once I had iconned every cap I made from this ep. But since I did nothing but iconning yesterday, it's probably safer to post what I have now, in order to take the pressure off. Otherwise I'd be iconning the whole week as if I didn't have other things to do. But it's so nice to feel so enthusiastic about a show again!

Wow, look at that, I finally made more Weiss icons! I find it hard to icon him, but icontalking's December activity wanted us to icon our favorites, so I had to. Regarding #16 I just wanted to say: ♫ It's Eric in a box, Eric in a box, girl! ♪

Bristows wink Francie alt

The first 5 were made for iconthat's alphabet challenge and the rest of the alphabet for icontalking. I'm proud of this set, it's mostly meaningful moments or characterwise representative.

The alternative title for Bristows was bookends. Also might have called it brilliant bookends, because weren't they just?!

Here's a fun fact about disguise: it's the counterpart to this post's #15. Because Syd was wearing a Scully-colored wig there and was partially in front of a red curtain, I gave the icon the same treatment as the Scully one: more curtain to fill out the background and a light texture.

The alternative word for glasses was gadget, but since it's not visible that they're a gadget, the former felt more fitting.

Innuendo: When I saw that cap in my collection, I thought Syd looks like she's thinking that, so it was extra hilarious when I rewatched the episode and that's what she said!

Pain: It's not just his pain, but also mine, because after that he wasn't seen for half a season. I also considered the title pretty for this icon. How can he look so pretty while suffering?!

I had actual words starting with x, but since exes was more meaningful than any of them, that's what I decided to go with.

#27: Now with text of the codename she earned there!

#28: In case you prefer a still image.

#29: If you don't like the text (I just needed to get that wordplay out of my system), here's an alternative.

#30: The alternative icon I made for underwater. I think it's prettier, but the other was more meaningful.

30 Alias icons & 1 FO banner

A mix of some more old icons and new ones. As apparently the old ones weren't posted anywhere yet (judging by them not being uploaded), I could make a few improvements on some. It was interesting to look back at that time (also '07-09) and how my iconmaking was changing to how I do things now: Keeping layers that aren't visible in the finished icon, but are an important step; naming layers after what I've done with them (Holy shit, how had I not done that before?!) or after the maker if it's a texture; erasing oversharpened parts from sharpened layers and showing the unsharpened layer underneath; using Shadows/Highlights instead of Curves.

I even made a more complex icon (#4) back then! #7 is made from a layout I'd made for my old blog. #10: Hey, Sydney was standing in front of monitors, so of course I had to photoshop the cage porn from Lost 3x06 in. #14 (made 3 years ago) was the first Alias icon I had made in 9 years. Only last month did I properly pick up making Alias icons again. And I finally found a way to make a decent icon of Syd's chain swing (see #22), a moment I'd been wanting to icon since forever. \o/

100 Alias icons & 3 headers

3 7 66

Somehow I've forgotten to post a fuckload of Alias icons & 3 headers from 2007-09! So here are some old icons (except the ones that made me cringe) showing mostly Syd, a sizeable portion is of Weiss, 3x Jennifer Garner.
Ah yes, my frantic attempt to make icons from ALL the Weiss caps, even if I was out of creativity. #7, 8 & 49 use textures from Muse's The Resistance booklet. #57 has lyrics from the Wir sind Helden song Hände hoch (it means "hands up"), on #76 is my attempt at a ligature of "Julia" and "Sydney". And yes, I know I have an unhealthy obsession with tiny text.

Most of these I've made for iconcolors, specifically the amnesty challenge. That's why I kept the 3-column table.

#3 references ceiling cat, don't know how many people remember that meme.

#8: To the tune of the Batman theme, because I was reminded of Batman's silly building-climbing, though of course Din actually does the scaling vertically. Fun fact: Because I'm rather tone deaf, I looked up the notes of the nanas and positioned the text accordingly.

#10: That pun came to me when I was half asleep, heh.

#14: The ferry droid only beeps musically, so I thought it should sing an actual barcarole. The lyrics are from the traditional Neapolitan song Santa Lucia.

#18: Having only a mockup of a mug would be weird, so I made an actual mug too.

D'oh, had forgotten to include #22 in my previous Mando post.

A few older icons in there. Not that old, but they feel as if they're from ages ago. Maybe because they were from when I still considered it sort of cheating to paint bits over with more saturated colors. Thanks to iconcolors (for which some of these icons where made) for changing that!
I had already posted #6 & 21 to icon challenges before I made some coloring changes. I'm still not 100% happy with #7, but 22 turned out the way I hoped (thanks to the aforementioned technique).

I have mixed feelings about this set, because I've been rushing from one icontest to the next, which is apparently bad for my creativity. There are a few icon in here that I'm quite proud of though. #13 & 14 for managing to remove the fan that partially obscured Helena's face. And #17 & 18 (the latter is the still version) for the concept (execution-wise I would have liked a different crop, for which I would have had to photoshop Helena's hand out but didn't have the time). That came about when I was making #16 and noticed that Helena & Sarah (Of all people!) were looking at the camera at the same angle (except that I had to turn one image a few degrees). And as the images are from the same photoshoot, the lighting was almost the same.

Mask Brushes

fuesch — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 06:09:50 GMT

icontalking had a resources activity again, so I finally made some again! I thought having masks for airbrushed backgrounds à la Sailor Moon (brush #3 is a version of the doily used in this image) would be cool. This is supposed to be the first in a series, but who knows when I'll get myself to make the other shapes' sets.

Download the set.
Contains 8 mask brushes - as abr & backgroundless pngs - ranging in size between 251x243 and 922x965 pixels.

I've finally made a Thirteen icon for my "Doctors and their incarnation numbers" set! All except for that one were made for (but not all entered in) dwstills. For the first 3 icons I put the characters into van Gogh paintings. #26 is animated and because I'm taking this stuff too seriously, I had actually downloaded the sound the Sonic Screwdriver makes, played it in VLC with the bandwidth visualisation on and capped it. 👍

iconcolors had an amnesty round, so I made icons for all the palettes I had missed. I fear the word/font play in #11 is too subtle, so have a stare at it, please and thank you.
