It's been a while since my last update, but I've been incredibly busy. I'd been making contest entries only, until last night, when I wasn't able to resist the urge to photoshop anymore. Hee. :) I think I'm finally getting where I want to be as an iconmaker. I know I've said that before, but this time, I mean it. I've been working with text more, and I think I'm slowly getting better at it. (On a related note, I wasn't going to post #31, but [livejournal.com profile] lindsey_grissom said it was her favourite.) Enjoy!

Star Trek! I loved the film. The plot was ridiculously senseless, but it was so pretty! Thus, a tiny set of icons. More when the DVD is released.

Sorry for the delay in updating, but my life has been very busy lately.
I'm bringing Mamma Mia icons, because that film is my temporary favourite. ;) I just love it, so if you like musicals, or any of the actors (Meryl Streep ♥, Pierce Brosnan ♥ or Colin Firth ♥), watch it! Now! *g*
And because I've fallen head over heels in love with Meryl Streep, I finally took the time to find caps of Out of Africa (possibly my favourite film of all time). ♥ :D
So you see, there's so much love in this post. ;)

Here are the promised Jurassic Park icons. After a friend of mine made some, I just had to do the same thing (even though I'll never be as perfect as her :P). So here they are.
Beware, those are mostly of Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), because frankly, she's the most amazing character of the film, and we all know it. ;)
Enjoy! :)

So here's another batch of very randomly assorted icons. Those are mainly contest entries, and some film posters, because I felt like iconing films things.
And don't forget, the requests are still open. ;)

Hey there!
Told ya I was in the middle of a new batch. ;)
I watched The Constant Gardener a while ago and loved it. The story seemed so real and Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes were absolutely amazing. And what I loved most about the film was the camera takes and the colours (!!). So pretty. So I couldn't wait to get some caps, which proved almost impossible. The ones I got in the end were nowhere near perfect, either, but that couldn't keep me from making icons.
Three news style-wise: I've completely abandoned sharpening now (yay me!), I've fallen in love with satuation layers aaaaand this is my first time in black and white (which is, after all, quite ironic seeing that I talked about the amazing colours of the film before *lol*). On some of the last ones, I tried new a complete new colouring, using colourlayers on linear burn and things like that. Anyway, I like most of them this time. I really do. xD

Enjoy! :)
