ok, my icon request.. it's not really complicated but it's kind of hard to explain so i'll give it my best shot.
i really want an icon that says "if only you could feel what i dream" and i've been looking all over the place for pictures of taylor with his eyes closed to kind of go with the whole dreaming theme. i'll post the link of the pictures i have a little later. what i would really like (but i'm not sure if you can/will do or not) is one of those icons where the pictures change, one after another. i want as many of the pictures with his eyes closed to flash and then "if only you could feel what i dream" to be the last frame, white font on black background. i know nothing about making icons so i don't know how hard this is to do. i just know that i don't have the program to do it.
if you can't do that, that's totally ok. if that is the case, then i have a backup plan, lol. if you can't do the flashie thing, then i still want "if only you could feel what i dream" but with the lweobeanie picture (so don't use this picture in the flashie icon if you can make it-- this picture is just for this backup :)). i really like that last line on your entry of icons, where there's the panoramic shot in the middle and words on top and bottom, so that would be cool to do with that picture, since it's horizontal anyway. use whatever color looks best in your opinion with the picture.
i already cut taylor's face out of the pictures, but i left the original pictures there, too, in case you wanted to use those instead.
whew.. ok that was a lot of typing. if that didn't come out as clear as i meant it, ask any question you need :) i'm sorry to give so many specificiations, but when i make things for people i want as many instructions as possible so i kind of went with that :)

that's exactly what i was going for :) but i was thinking about the color... could you maybe make it in a blue hue or the reddish color like the last one on the right in your entry? i'm just curious as to how it would look in different colors and what mood each would be, lol.

Alright, I tried it out. I had to make the whole animation b&w because the file would otherwise be too big for LJ. I added a couple of pictures, tell me if you don't like them, I'll remove :) Lemme know if this is what you had in mind.

actually, i really like the entire thing being in black and white. it ties the whole thing together and makes it flow better than it probably would have otherwise. and i really like the fade in and out for the words. AND i really like the fonts you used to do the words, lol. but could you maybe speed it up a little bit? just a tiny bit. and that one picture.. i call it his "sex face".. it's between two penny and me caps.. i think it kind of disrupts the flow b/c that's just a radically different expression (lol) than the rest, you know what i mean? so if you could take that one picture out (i love the other picture you added, from the studio-- thanks for that!) and maybe speed it up a tiny bit, then i think it would be the icon of my dreams :D thanks again, so very much

I did it in a hurry, so I'm definitely open to improving it. Let me know!
However, I still want to do the animated icon, I just need more time. I'll just post once I finish, ok? :)

By the way, Fight Club is one of my all-time favorite films. Although I'm more inclined to Edward Norton, hee. ;)
