Never once seen an LJ icon post focused on Westerns, so that's a pretty unique claim. Kudos! Loving the crop and texture use in "pattern" cuz the texture really suits his shirt! The blue sky in "color" is so bright and inviting, too!

soo glad you liked them. thank you!

I was trying to challenge myself on subject! wasn't sure if it was a little to 'out there' for people to appreciate.

I live for weirdness in icons, so nothing is ever to "out there" for me. I commend anyone who works on material from older films and TV shows cuz the cap quality is often not HQ which is a huge challenge!

*hugs* I MADE THESE JUST FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU. EMBRACE THE WEIRD.

Luckily, I chose John Ford Westerns this round, so most of his movies have been preserved and upgraded to Blue-Ray. I've worked with some terrible caps before, like with The Sentinel tv show, that only has it's first season on DVD or early season Power Rangers caps.

MORE POWER TO ALL OF US WEIRDOS OUT THERE! Honestly, when I make an icon that looks too "normal" or "regular" for me, I get disappointed. And bored.

Ahhh, no wonder those icons look like they're made from good quality caps! The fact that you've ever worked with awful ones before is astounding. I get enough of a headache coloring HQ caps. Low quality ones would probably make me cry!

I want to redo a number of those old Power Ranger icons XP

The good thing about low quality caps is that they sometimes improve when cropped and shrunk to 100x100.
