I've fallen head over heels into The Losers fandom. Mixed media fandoms are SO my downfall. The movie was pretty, shallow fun, but some of the fics it inspired are complex and amazing (see

4 more icons!

The first three started out as black-and-white images. I don't know why I decided to do that to myself--maybe I just wanted the challenge. I colorized each to a different degree using a different technique.

Lately I've really focused on lighting and ( Read more... )

Still catching up, this batch marked a return to icon-making about 6 months ago. I had to reteach myself all the techniques I'd forgotten I knew, resulting in an extremely mixed bag.
