Iconning for the masses.

Tupac Amaru Shakur. I don't really think there's anything I can say here that's sufficient. He was a talented musician, and IMO also a talented actor. As a potential PB, I think he wins at pensive expressions.

I've been meaning to upload these for a while. However, I didn't manage to get a good round number of quality pics. Even still, I ended up having to fiddle a lot with the color on some of these, as everything being vaguely dayglo orange was just not working. ;) Overall I'm happy. I managed to get my hands on a copy of Gridlock'd, and plan on screencapping that for more icons.

Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller. I haven't seen him used, and I seriously think he should be. At 6'6"~6'7", he's a giant of a man. Also one of my fave magicians (and comedians). He's got a wicked sense of humor, such that even when I disagree w/ his views, I can't help but crack a smile at how he expresses them. A day of firsts, he's the first magician I've iconned.

I'm not entirely giddy with all of these icons, due to original image quality. I did some dark magic to fix them up, but... I'm not sure if it fixed all the problems. Some stuck around largely because: Who doesn't want an icon of a man eating fire. If I get a copy of Bullshit, or, anything else with him in it, I'll be sure to make a set using caps.

"Hachi Machi". ;) violet_pumps gets credit for drawing my attention to this guy (and my sincere apologies for the delay in the request). His name is Jonathan Saldana, and he's a model on Model Mayhem. I adore his look, and wish him success. As a total side note, he has the distinction of being the first model I've iconned.

The set is pretty small, as the image base was pretty small (17). And a lot of them are recrops. Partially to give some style variety. Hopefully I got your number somewhere in here, violet_pumps. Enjoy! :D

Snoop Dogg, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Calvin Broadus, whatever you feel like calling him. Most of the icons are redux of an older set I was planning on using these for a particular character. Unfortunately time constraints make that difficult at the moment (although I still have hopes!). In the meantime, someone else may find use for these. Some of the icons were manipped in ways that were specific to the concept, but I think I've managed to clear the modifications off. (Saving copies with the original layers is handy like that.) Incidentally, I love his eyes.

From various sources throughout the web. I actually have many more, which I also hope to icon, but again, there's that queue to consider.

Craig Charles of Red Dwarf fame. And to a lesser extent, Robot Wars. Dave Lister is just about my favorite space-faring character, ever.

Mostly from personal screencaps, although about 4 are promotional photos. I had a bit of "fun" adjusting the lighting. Go-go-gadget low budget scifi! In addition, some of the video sources were horrible, and I do apologize for that. I loved that scene too much not to icon it. "The intruder seems blissfully unaware that we have a rather steady holo-whip in the munitions cabinet..." I'll see if I can get a good copy of that episode. Most of the screencaps are from the first couple of episodes in the series. I hope to make more icons of him, but first I'd like to get through the other subjects in my icon queue.
