Iconning for the masses.

I'm back! Just thought I'd put that out there.

Anyway, my return to iconning is kicked off with Omari Ismael Grandberry, better known as Omarion. Expressive, adorable, babyfaced, and dance-aholic, Omarion. As an iconist, I'm in love with him. He works the camera, smiling, laughing, sulking, and just generally being expressive in a way that begs for iconning. He's got all the ingredients for a excellent pb. In fact, this set was originally intended for personal use, hence its focus on his shoulder-length cornrows I-am-pensive look.

It's also an old set that puts my "old sets I've decided to upload" to shame. I held off on this set for roughly two years before finishing it up and uploading it. While I do have some more (and updated) images I can icon, I figured this set has been waiting long enough. In fact, any set, has been waiting long enough.

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.

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.

Rachel True, as Rochelle from The Craft. It's insane, she was actually almost 30 when she was in this movie. 30! She barely ages at all! I desperately want to use her for a PB, but hold back, largely due to time constraints. I'll settle for a marriage proposal from her, however.

Made using a personal batch of screencaps. There's a lot more where these came from. We'll see if they actually become icons. If you want a banner made, either indicate an icon, or describe a scene not iconned here (I might have capped it), and I'll see what I can do.
