Note:
For those of you who think you don't know James Hetfield, you're wrong. You know him. You just don't know you know him. He's the chief vocalist for Metallica. I wish there were more quality pictures of him online as he is quite an attractive man.

Self interest here. In case you're not familiar with him, he's the guitarist and singer for Green Day. The quality is kind of crap, but that's because there aren't many quality shots of him without a microphone in his face.

These are all from his role as Mr. Pink in Resevoir Dogs. I may do other sets of him in the future as I think he has a very unique look to him. I just remember before I learned his name we used to call him 'the ugly guy.'

Thin black border on all. I actually finished these months ago, but I've been really lax on posting icons lately. As in at all. I love John. I wish more people would use him as a pb.

Made as a gift for [info]beyond_the_pale, I figured why not post them here as well. Not my normal monster sized set, but I picked through for his more intimidating looking photos and any other that just caught my eye enough that they had to be icon'd. Therefore, behold.

Aaron Eckhart (50 Icons)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Back with even more icons. Our subject is Mr. Aaron Eckhart, star of wonderful films like Thank You For Smoking and The Dark Knight. He was also, quite sadly, in Paycheck - but you can't hold that against him can you? Anyway, today all of my thanks go to Aaron Eckhart Online. I don't know if it's the only Aaron Eckhart site out there or not, but they had quite a few quality photos and it was nice to find them all in one place for once. So, thanks to them, you have these wonderful icons to enjoy. The thought of doing icons for Aaron Eckhart did not occur to me until the wonderful Q suggested it. What I found was that most communities didn't icon him - and that's usually the subject I like to icon the most. There's something grim about the way he half-smiles. Not Bruce Willis grim, but grim.

You want a preview, you old flirt?

Ralph Fiennes (54 Icons)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Here we go with another sizable set of icons, this time of Ralph Fiennes. It's apparently become a niche of mine to do icons for people that don't have many - who wants another five sets of James McAvoy, anyway? Anyway, Ralph is another one of those pesky personal interest icon sets - don't you just hate that? He's got a very interesting face, I think, goes from serious to silly and back again very quickly. Always somehow managing to look just a little unbalanced. I don't mind unbalanced, though. It's kind of a benefit. All of the images I used here were found at Ralph Fiennes Corner, but you have to register to access the gallery. With that said...

Bruce Willis (47 Icons)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Now we come to my favorite icon subject ever. You don't see many Bruce Willis icon sets out there on the internet - probably because Bruce Willis doesn't have very many properly organized fansites dedicated to him, and he doesn't get a lot of his photoshoots scanned or otherwise spread around. Meanwhile, Mary Elizabeth Winstead has fifty damn websites. Someone explain the logic of this to me, I'm fuzzy on it! Anyway, icons #1 - #21 are from images I got from Bruce Willis PL, which is the most awesome Bruce Willis fansite out there and yet sadly sucky all at once. Those are ads, movie premieres, screen captures from Ocean's Twelve and promotional images from Live Free Or Die Hard. Icons #22 - #28 were created with screencaps from Live Free Or Die Hard that I obtained from MEW Online, which is sad considering I had and have no plans to icon her ever. Icons #29 - #47 were made with screencaps from Live Free Or Die Hard which I found in the Random Caps community on LiveJournal.

Bruce is the man, and here's why!

Henry Rollins (34 Icons)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Henry Rollins could do with a comprehensive website. I didn't keep track of all the various places I got these pictures, and since most of the images on Mr. Rollins' website are terrible I did have to search far and wide. Google Image Search is your friend, people. Part of me is convinced this guy is on 'roids, and part of me is just amazed at how awesome he looks. And sounds.

Couple of examples.

Note:
Thin black border on all. I used to use Edward Norton as a pb, so the icons I have of him are of a very specific look. I like his Sheldon look from Death to Smoochy, that innocent look. Therefore, that's what you get. I may make more in the future, as he has lots of interesting photoshoot photos roaming out there.

Note:
Thin black border on all. Self interest here, Jon was an accidental pb, but probably my favorite. I like not using overused pbs and I hadn't, at the time I decided on him, seen that anyone else had iconed him. There's a few 80's and 90's shots in here with his crazy Bon Jovi hair, just because I wanted to laugh. Second set forthcoming.

There's something incredibly attractive about his lop-lidded eyes. Anyway, this set was made from a combination of photoshoots and screencaps from "Tristan and Isolde" and "Dark City." I may go back and do another set with Dark City - if I could get my hands on a decent DVD.

Probably won't be the last you'll see of him, as I plan on getting some caps from some Dr. Who/Heroes episodes to icon.

Thin black border on all. This is an old request fulfillment from GJ. I don't know if the person who wanted it still has interest in these, but here they are. I figured, I have the pictures, I might as well finish them off. All of these photos were collected from Neil's website and the rss feed of his blog.

More self interest... hooo! It's interesting how facial hair can change the face. Anyway, most of these images are from photoshoots or stills which were gleaned off various LJ communities. Only a few (mainly the ones where he's in white robes) are screencaps from a DVD. His jailbait pics may end up in another post.

He looks cuddly, at times! Most of these icons were made from Scrubs screencaps, so I guess they're useful for fandom games.

Djimon Hounsou - 70 icons

Note:
Thin black border on all. This is another actor I currently use as a pb. When I was looking for someone, I knew that I wanted a black man (he's not American, so the pc term doesn't apply) and I wanted someone who wasn't used to death. Then I remembered the movie Constantine and had to find out who the guy was that played Papa Midnite. And there we have it. I didn't know he was in the original Stargate movie, btw, as... Horus.

Note:
Thin black border on all. Tony Curran is one of those accidental pbs. I was looking for a tall, dirty, red head and I was coming up completely empty handed. Then, I found myself watching The 13th Warrior and I said, "hey, who is that?" Voila, I have Tony Curran. Sad that no one else uses him. I would have though the HP-verse would have snatched him up for an elder Weasley or something. Just... wow.

Note:
Thin black border on all. I couldn't believe there were not any Sean Hayes icons out there other than I think, 10 or 12 someone else had made. So, I just bucked up and went on a photo search and here we are. This is about as good as it gets for photos of him on the internet right now and screencaps generally make terrible icons.

Note:
Thin black border on all. I currently use Karl as a pb, so I have a vested interest in him. He's an extraordinarily beautiful man, and I mean that in terms of pretty - not handsome. Some of the original pictures these were taken from are so humerous that [info]keleos and I sat up laughing at them. There are some I couldn't even bring myself to use for my pb, because it was just to... Victoria/Victor. Not Victoria/Victor. Just... wow. But there is a bonus at the end of three young Karl icons. I found a couple rare shots from him modeling in his late teens. Very cute!
