Sooo...let's talk about the icons!
Icon #1
I made this icon quite some time ago...quite a year I think. The quality isn't the best because this is a detail of a larger image and it was quite difficult to cap it. As a matter of fact,this is one of the photos in the Petrelli mansion. I guees it looks really good on Angela's mantle. I've just tried to work with the colours,I've added a light texture and the "Mama's boy" in a similar shade of turquoise. And well,this is true,after all the Petrelli boys are Mama's boys! ;) The inspiration for the icon came from
thepandorarose .
Icon #2
This is from Vol. 2,episode "Cautionary tale". It comes from the fantastic scene of the interrogation featuring Angela and Matt Parkman(both Cristine and Greg rocked the scene!). I really liked her there,specially for her behaviour and I've always found this facial expression very interesting. First of all,I've worked with the colours and the result was like this. Mainly I've tried to enhance the blues and made them look brighter. Moreover,I've tried to make the wall seem kinda blue-ish,too. Then,in order to make the icon more interesting,I've triplicated her face and worked with a texture by
creamuts .I was still in a phase in which I used a lot of textures while now I tend to work more with brushes and colours. All the icons from that period look quite fragmented.
Icon #3
Here's my fave Gilmore girl! Emily's always been my fave character and I so love Kelly Bishop! She's one of my fave actresses ever and I really think she's underrated, at least she's been during GG. They had such a talented actress in the cast and lost a lot of great storylines! Anyway,I've made this for a sort of game with
valerie4 over at the VT thread. The VTs gave us a pic of Emily or Kelly and we made 5 variations of it each. This is one of those variations. It was a promotional still from 7x03. The fact that it was HD and that Emily already looked so beautiful really helped! I've just played with colours,saturation and contrast,then added a light texture and a little text brush. I'm really proud of this icon because ti looks really good!
Icon #4
This great icon has been made by the talented
caramelapples11 . I've started obsessing over Bill and Karen last summer during my exam session. One night I was so exhausted that I stopped studying and turned on the TV. The famous phone call in 6x23 appeared in front of me,I got curious,I started to look for more about them on the net and here I am, eager to know how's retired life in Vermont! So when I saw this I had to snag it! This icon is simply fantastic, not only for the colouring and the blending,but mostly for the lettering (it makes me *lmao* everytime I see it) and the great capping! Awesome moment!
Icon #5
This is a very recent icon. It was requested by
thepandorarose . I've made some variations of it,but this is my fave. I've also made a Team Arthur one,but I'm definitely part of Team Angela. If you haven't guessed till now,she's the best Heroes character,IMO,not to mention Cristine's awesomeness. The pic is a promotional one for S3. I've tried to make the colours look bright and then added light textures and the text.
