Icon Post #27 -- The Losers (Comic) and Hawaii Five-0
Another day, another new fandom! Last month I started watching Hawaii Five-0, which is cracky fun. They're a governor-established task force with carte blanche to violate ALL your civil rights in the pursuit of car chases and ridiculous action sequences! YEAH! I've been lured in by the gorgeous Hawaiian scenery and the delightful bickering. Scotty Caan plays a little ball of rage and proper procedure from New Jersey! JERSEY!!! WOOOO!!!
But I've noticed a depressing lack of Photoshop in the icons of this fledgling fandom, so for once I'm going to throw my hat in the ring with (gasp!) screenshots for an active fandom. Yikes, the pressure! There's a reason I've focused on mainly non-fandom icons.
With screencaps of a live-action show, I'm finding that the best tactic seems to be to hyper-sharpen the character(s) in the foreground, blur/dim/desaturate the background slightly, and add some kind of light/texture effect or text to give it that polished look.
Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.
Oh wait,
I AM A DETECTIVE!
Evidence is
suuuper sexxy
Kono by the seaOne guess who's on
the phone with Danny
Meanwhile, I finally finished reading The Losers comics, and there was much screencapping. I love ALL their little faces. SO. HARD. Boys! Aisha! Stegler! And WTF is up with that LOLtastic backstory for Max? And so with a cry of "Nukes for New Jerusalem!" here are seven new icons.
Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.
