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.

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.

I've been meaning to do an Ultraviolet set for a while. It's so visually scifi that I had to show scifi RP love by making them. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my copy of the dvd which held me back for a bit. At least, until I found loads of screencaps on Milla's official website.

I also found a set of images that IMO fit perfectly for a friend's character, so I iconned those as well. Here they are, daredesuka. Hope you like them. ;)
