So I am doing this icon meme thing from
phuck @
last5 where you remake old icons. I have taken a very old post and re-made the icons.

Right, so with these two, I corrected the half-crappy coloring and did a better crop, and added a texture. And took away the text, because...really. Why was it there to start with?

With these, I didn't like the crop (again). Did a bit better coloring. And then, I took her name out of it, and added a scratchy text brush thingy. Et, voila. C'est ça.

Okay, first of all? I really dislike both of these. Second of all? LMFAO at the first one. WTF was I thinking??? Harry looks like some kind of DEMON with these freaky neon colored eyes!!! HA. Plus, it was a crappy crop. Oh and then there's that craptastic text I decided to add. WTF? So I went for more subtle coloring, but I still didn't really get it right and the text is...eh. Probably unneeded I dunno. I don't really like these two.

I didn't really like either of these icons either. The image I started with blew to start with, and I never really got the improvement I wanted. I liked the subtle coloring and I really wanted some texture but...eh. Okay, moving on.

HA! WHAT A CRAPPY FIRST ICON UP THERE. The coloring doesn't have enough contrast and it looks like she has no nose. And why add the scratchy texture? And the text brush? So I colored it differently, and cropped it better and added a light texture. (I don't know why I made a Cho icon. I don't even like Cho.)

Wow, oversaturation much? YIKES. His eyes look all demonized, too. And what did I have with this text brush letter trend? I think I was trying to make a matching set. ..............
....riiiiiight. Anyway, I zoomed the crop out to include Emma because it looks bleh with just him. And I colored them both differently. (i.e., better.) Nothing too special about this icon, but it doesn't suck as much.
Okay! Thanks for the opportunity to phuck up my stuff!
