promethia_tenkUmmmm . . . I think I'm addicted to cropping icons. It must engage the same part of the brain as Tetris. And architectural drafting. I can't stop. I'm not sure I want to.
Also, somehow the only way I can really see what needs changing is by posting things publicly. So here's a bunch of what I assume to be works in progress. Man . . . look at that! Yeah, that was a mistake. What was she thinking? =D

This might be the reason I've never really had a proper go - I'm sure I'd fall down the same rabbit hole...
Nice work though! *admires*

Date: 23 Jan 2011 09:53 am (UTC)I am running around snagging lots of these River-y things (especially River-y Rory-y friendish ones). One day I will then move them off my computer and onto my LJ (ie when I stop being a lazy brat)
I like these. A lot. If these are works in progress, I can't wait to see the finished ones :D

Parallel and perpendicular lines . . . man, there's just something about them. Thank goodness I have crappy tools and can only fiddle with so much. I shudder to think what would happen if I had Photoshop available.

Lazy brat? Lol. Don't want to know what I am, then. I approve this plan, though! I wish I could do more Rory + River icons, but I've pretty much used every available shot! Ah well, next season.

Thank you! They're actually looking better this morning than I anticipated, so they might not actually change that much. We'll see.

Date: 23 Jan 2011 11:57 pm (UTC)Okay, I squeed when I saw the Rory&River icon. There are so few with them in the same icon!
Admittedly, there's passingly little to work with. I think I've used just about every cap that has them next to each other. Next season. Next season.
"This is my shippy icon," one made me lol. I love that they're both looking away from the text, perfectly illustrating the UST between them.
:) Somehow a properly shippy icon doesn't seem quite appropriate yet. Not that I begrudge other people theirs, but I wanted something a little more . . . realistic.
I really love the icon from the angel ep where they're both reading books. There could be all kinds of symbolism there.
I love that scene to bits =D You know what more sci-fi/fantasy shows need? Five minute-long scenes of scholarship and awkward subtext.
And the last one? Eleven is such a dork.
I like my dorks situated under pretty ceilings =D VoV was architecture porn decorated with some familiar characters.

And really, is part of my first favorite. I just adore the scene with Doctor sitting on the throne and flirting/teasing the fish lady. And it wouldn't have been half as great with lesser architecture.

Date: 28 Jan 2011 11:19 pm (UTC)Yeah, there's something about having the characters not in the middle, isn't there? I find it more interesting--even when I'm cropped in real close I want to have them offset somehow. I remember taking a notice of that Amy icon of yours when you got it--it is lovely.
Thanks for commenting!
