Do you mind if the images are altered to a different color space so one is not trying to overlay/merge stuff that otherwise wouldn't match?

I have no idea what that means, but whatever needs to be done to make it work is fine - that's why I have multiple images to choose from!

And thank you!

What I meant was something like what I've done with these, because the three sources were all lit very differently. These are two options - one with blur applied to the background. Since Ten was blurry (and I therefore blurred Rose to match), I wasn't sure whether you'd want the background blurred in addition to match that a bit better. Please let me know if this is the sort of thing you had in mind: if not, you might want to check other sources for pictures of the Doctor and Rose like David-Tennant, Billie-Piper, the Tragical History Tour, billiepiperfan, and davidtennant fan.

These are banners, obviously, rather than icons. I'm not sure that you'll be able to get a fully discernable, Doctor, Rose and Ice Planet all in an icon, but give me a mo and I shall have a try or two for that as well.

Here's an icon, to go with the banners. I sharpened everything at the end here, due to the decreased size.

Wow. These are great. One request - I'm ok with not having Rose in the picture (blasphemy, I know) in favor of being able to see the ice in the background. Would you be ok with cropping her out?

Sure. I just figured having her would be a bonus of sorts. It's just a matter of deleting the layer.

I'm doing versions of the icon and both banners sans Rose now.

It is a bonus - I'm just being a pain. *grins*

Nice! I love the banners, but I've never used one in my life (yes, I am LJ-challenged)!

Much love for the first icon here - I think it's because there's a really nice sense of depth.

The first icon is my preference as well, but I figured you might want one with the bricks and ice crystals (such as they are at that size).

I think the crystals come across better in the banner - they'd be really hard to see in the icon.

*wonders how difficult it would be to have a border of crystals/frost*

A border on what? The banner, or the icon? I think you'd have difficulties with an icon that's predominantly another image (the Doctor)... the ice crystals would be too small.

If you mean on the banner, I could probably find something to use for that.

Hrm... you're probably right - the icon would prolly be too small for a frosty border.

What about just putting frost/crystals on one edge only? Where Ten is? Would something like that work better than on the entire icon?

It would certainly be more of a contrast and therefore more likely to show up clearly. It's just that at that size, it's probably just going to look like a bunch of white spikes along the edge of the frame.

Bummer. I was thinking it might marry him into the background a bit better.

I can certainly give it a shot, I just don't want to get your hopes up as to how it'll look at tiny size.
