wow ♥ this post is fantastic! Stunning job guys! They all looks so amazing, it's hard to pick favorite =) I love that we started this because it's have been fun to watch different tv show and make icons again :)
Thanks so much for this lovely comment! glad you like my set, I was a bit nervous about it haha but you basically picked all the ones I don't hate in my set :p glad you like the texture use on Gary; the idea was to represent the signals he can read but I'm not sure how clearly I got that across :D
wow! How did you so this?? You have to show me :D
thanks! I don't think there's any special technique to it though, it's just basic animation. with simon on different opacities so het gets more transparent and then visible again. the trick is to do it in steps, with as many frames as you can fit into the 40kb file size. mine would look smoother too if I had done that I think, but I was too lazy to add more than a couple. :p
Thank you! I'm glad you picked the Emma one, I wasn't sure if I like it or not, but submitted it anyway! And also glad you picked Derek as well, it's one of my favourites too.
As for Sense8 - the show is amazing, you should definitely watch it. It has such unique premise and the characters are so diversified and likeable (and really iconable, the show has amazing caps :D), which makes it even more interesting! Definitely my favourite show this year!
eeeks, I hope my weirded out reaction at Zankyou no Terror doesn't put you off - I'm not one to judge an entire series based on just one episode so if it moves on or gets randomized again, I'm totally cool with that! :D there were interesting things in it but is the whole anime really creepy?? cause the first episode had that unsettling vibe to it, with all the stuff blowing up and the manipulation and THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO which was super extra creepy :O
don't worry I had the exact same reaction when I watched it, but I was intrigued enough by the mystery surround it (like wHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?? EXCUSE ME RUDE?) I kept watching xp It's definitely a darker anime but it's so beautifully plotted and emotional and impactful. It's been a while since I watched it, but it's certainly on the top of my lists (though I do agree it is VERY different than Free xp)
lol, yeah that initial reaction sounds about accurate! :D well, emotional and impactful definitely sounds like stuff I could get into! :> I just love that this project helps me find stuff I normally never would have.
I was so excited to be a part of this, that I made more than half of the icons in one day! :D Thanks again for letting me join you! And I thought the last batch was great, this one is even better! So many beautiful icons! ♥ Now to my favourites:
by jsfunction: - Gary - this icon is amazing, love the complementary colors and the composition. Great texture use, from what I saw about the character it really fits him well. - Simon - my precious baby! ♥ Misfits is easily one of my favoruite UK shows and Simon was my favourite character, so I was pretty happy when I saw his name on the list. Again, great composition, I'm amazed how well you work with purple and it's shades. The animation effect is also great, it really shows Simon's power to be invisible, that was a nice touch! :D - Emma - love the text in this, everything looks so elegant even though it's pretty complex icon. Great colors as well ... and Outlaw Queen <33

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!! it's so awesome to have you as a participant and also I'm totally in favor of #voteOlivia :D and #voteSimon and #voteWolfgang too. Clearly you have awesome taste in characters!
Yesss all the love for Simon. I've only seen 2 eps and he's my early fave and I'm super curious to see his character development and where the plot will take him. and those were basically my own faves too so yay, thank you!! :>
Glad you were happy with the character set, hopefully you'll like the next set too - let's randomize it after the poll closes so knowing in advance won't affect our votes in any way. I was really happy with these characters too, and super glad I had the chance to continue Fringe and Misfits and discover some really promising shows like sense8!
Thank you so much, sweetie!! :) I am glad that you liked my Aragorn icon because it wasen't my fav. Some reason I didin't like it, so thanks a lot!! :)
I found also a lot new series, esp. Sense 8, Alphas and maybe Misfits. And Fringe was also really interesting, so I am excited to watch that again, too. =)
Snagging Stiles and Aragorn from jsfunction. I wish I knew more of the other characters featured (besides Emma) but they are all fantastic icons and I'd have snagged more if I watched the shows.
Also, jsfunction, on the episode discussion for 5.02 of TW...I completely second everything you said.
Yay, glad you found something to snag, and aw thanks for the lovely words! :) hopefully the next set of characters will have more you're familiar with!
Glad to know I'm not alone in these opinions. I really do like the show a lot so that just made s5a so disappointing, but well, I'm still interested to see where 5b will go :)
Well, I don't know any of the other characters in the ticky boxes except for Derek (and Emma although I've only watched s1 so far). However, that Wolfgang dude is fairly hot, so I might try Sense8. And beyond that, you have good words for it and we seem to have similar tastes so yeah, I might like it. Fingers crossed for s5b of TW!
So much tv, so little time....and here I am starting a Lost rewatch omg Walt is so little!.
oh but a Lost rewatch is definitely the best way to use your tv time! Everything else comes after Lost :P
Haha, well I suppose that reason is as good as any, and yeah judging by the pilot alone I'd say it sounds a bit like the sort of show a lost fan would like - I mean it has this ~mystery, maybe supernatural maybe scifi vibe to it as well as characters that seem well developed. but then again someone who has seen more than 1 ep can probably give better insight on whether or not it's worth watching :D
