All of these are absolutely wonderful. Want to know why?

EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Looks like it fits in the movie. Not as a still from a movie, but it captures the exact feel of it. It's really incredible how it's been done. The things you add to it, FIT. Everything. Mind=blown.

Thank you! I've been trying to cut back on using too many textures/brushes, I think they work better in moderation and based on your feedback that seems to be true. Thanks for looking them over! :)

Okaaaay, where do I start? The movie as a whole. It's true, I loved it a lot. Granted, it's not my default sense of humour, but it's one I've sort of grown into loving and I'm definitely all for colourful and slightly awkward wait, what? But no, it was just beautiful. Almost sort of want to do icons of it myself... it's a great movie to icon in any case.

And now for the icons - huge diversity in colour and effects, made for a fun oveview - and I agree with oldschoolgoth that it absolutely suits the theme of the movie ( ... )

It was actually a really fun movie to take screen captures of, but I kept getting distracted with actually WATCHING it and forgetting to pause and snap a screen or two along the way, heh. You should give it a try, I bet you'd enjoy it! I'd be interested to see what you come up with actually using an entire cast of characters from the film rather than my insistence on using only Owen. Except on The Darjeeling Limited, that was the only time I used the whole cast.Thank you so much for taking the time to offer detailed feedback, I really appreciate it and it gives me the opportunity to step out of my little box and see the icons from a different point of view. I agree that the blobs of glowy color are WAY overdone, and for some reason I refuse to quit using them ( ... )

Ohohoh! *flails arms* Then you need to download the KMPlayer - takes screencaps automatically, so you can actually watch and have the capping running at the same time!

When I read it first I couldn't believe how ANYONE could EVER get tired of glowy dots, but apparently people do, so I've been trying to cut down on them ever since, though it's especially difficult if you've just discovered a new set or how to make custom ones. D:
