Farscape Picspam: That Old Black Magic

[nebari_rebel]

That Old Black Magic in ten pictures.

It's getting harder and harder to only choose ten caps, but I must be strong and steadfast! #3 was going to be a bonus this time, but that is a dangerous road to go down, especially this early in the game.

Your colouring is amazing.

But this episode... aitch. Yeah, still.

[nebari_rebel]

Thank you :)

Crais is amazing in this episode. Such rich character development - it overshadows Zhaan's, imo.

I knew from what we were given in Premiere that there was a reason Crais was the way he was. I didn't expect the writers to make it something so big, so deep.

It tears me apart, probably more now than it ever did, with what background the comics gave us on his parents. But I won't go there.

The first Zhaan pic is fantastically beautiful. Great capture right there.

I also love the last Crais one. He's really coming undone isn't he?

I keep saying it but you're coloring is just so perfectly Farscape. Such a vivid show deserves vivid pics which you manage to create on a consistent basis! I'm really impressed.

Thank you so much!

I purposefully went from light to dark with the pictures here, to express the mood of the episode, and those two are my favorites as well.

It's a great show to work with...everyone and everything is so, so pretty.

I'll have the next part posted today (and am starting work on your Noranti icons! Must not take too many caps LOL)

There's never too much of anything of Farscape so feel free to be tempted to use more caps :)))

Aeryn's face in 3 cracks me up :))) I like this scene with Rygel poking John :)

[nebari_rebel]

Thank you!

The face in 3 is so great I couldn't not use it even if it didn't seem to match the mood of the other pictures. But that's what's so great about Farscape too - there's always some humor and lightness there :)

Love it!

Thank you :)

This is one of the hardest episodes for me to make icons (or any graphics) of, cause everything is so dark and blue or yellow. But you managed to pull this off very nicely. The last one is my favorite, the look on his face says so much and the dramatic coloring is perfect. The first Zhaan is also very lovely and soft, and the cap choice is awesome, love that expression. I really like the Maldis one as well even though he isn't my favorite character. The picture is very dramatic and pretty.

Great job again! Can't wait to have more of these! (And I would have nothing against some extras, but there is a risk that by the fourth season it will be 'episode x in 30 pictures' if you start adding them now ;) speaking of the 4th season, can't wait to see what you do with the gorgeous Sikozu. The picspam of her was fantastic, so I reeeaally want to see more! :) )

Thank you so much! I was very struck by the strong colors in this; I had alternates that were predominantly orange, purple, green, or red, and considered making it a rainbow.

I made the first cap as light as I could, and the last as dark as possible, to show how the mood of the episode progressed, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I feel like I should have had at least one cap of Liko, but there's too much to fit in, and I hate those parts of the episode. I have no love for Maldis, but felt he should be in there as the puppetmaster...and wanted to show him as a threat, and not a joke.

And I would have nothing against some extras, but there is a risk that by the fourth season it will be 'episode x in 30 picturesThat's my fear as well. I have terrible self-discipline and really need to set rules or I know every episode Chiana's in will have like 100 caps
