Iconning for the masses.

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.

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.

Gina Gershon is a threat to marriages everywhere, and just a tad typecast in that direction. Not surprising. She exudes sexuality, imo, although she has a distinctly unconventional appeal. I fully intend to take some caps of Bound and Prey for Rock and Roll, once I have those movies. Especially Bound. Amusingly enough, she also played the marranzano for the Scissor Sister's song: "I Can't Decide" which is used in one of my favorite Dexter fanvids (NSFW+ S1 spoilers).

I got the images from all over through the magic of google image search. So, basically, it's a lot of candids and promo shoots, with some screencaps thrown in for good measure. Some which were ridiculously difficult to work with. However, I'm happy with them. For the most part at least.

Note: Some icons are NSFW! (Nothing too explicit, but you never know. I'd rather warn than have people run into issues later.)
