Hehe I know! it's priceless. The Robinsons is a show on BBC. It also stars Martin Freeman (of Office and Hitchhiker's Guide fame ^_^).
 
Hhahah damn. I was too slow in stealing your hot neck icon Kelly. :lol:

And yes. Jaimie and her hostingess rocks indeed ^_^
 
Kelly - I don't want to sound like I want to copy your style, but I rreeaallyy love your coloring. What do you set the layers to?
 
I guess Jaimie meant "kicked off of the boards" -- that's what happened to me over the past hour :angry: :(

Anyway, I came across this package of Gradients by Anica and thought I could finally try those thingies out....

the result were my first three real icons, posting them in order of "appearance"..and after making #3, #1 looks already kinda dull <_<

No not at all!!

Ok, what i usually do (and it depends on the colouring of the screencap) but for the HP ones, cos they had beautiful colouring already, i di the usual image preparation stuff, screen, softlight, yada yada yada, then i set a yellowy or pinky or beigey layer to colour, and reduce the opacity to about 20-30. My next layer would be set to overlay, using a gradient. 99% o the time i use gradients by crumblingwalls on LJ. I fiddle with the opacity with that layer, seeing what looks good. My 3rd layer will probably be another gradient, set to softlight. Again, i play with the opacity to get what i want from the colouring.

This is what i do probably 80% of the time. If the colour is really crappy with the screencap, then i might not set a colour layer, or overlay, or with other i may use a texture. But i hardly use thxtures of brushes with my icons. I like simplicity as a style. Hope that helps!

Feedback!

Celina- I adore the 3rd on of lena. Very cool use of brushes!
Leslie-Those are all so awesome, and i must have been reading your mind, because without further adue...

SCRUBS QUOTE ICONS!! They were meant to be of the whole cast, but i adore Dr Cox so much that most of them turned out to be quotes from him. Heh. These were fun.

umm, yeah. In Michigan, near my house a chemical plant exploded and i live about 2 blocks away, so i was evacuated and we can't go back to our house until a hazmat team gives us the clear. We're waiting on a press conference at noon.....I'm suprised no one heard, it's been on CNN and MSNBC.....oh well, but yeah, that's the reason. I went home to get clothes and leave because the burning chemicals were horrible. But yeah....anyways, HP icons as soon as I get home, I'm at work right now.




ETA:
Celina, I like #3 best.
Leslie, they're all great. I love Bowie, isn't he just the best?
Kelly, scrubs quotes :thud: i just love Zach. Lovely icons, gals!
