Your #7 is beyond adorable!

Very nice, all of them. :)

Thank you, I just couldn't resist with Daniel's expression like that :)

*giggles at #7*

I totally need one of these to go into my 'Good Guys' icon folder. Hmm, maybe a couple of them. #9 for sure, because more George icons are always a good thing!

It was a shame the way Chekhov and his ship were just suddenly gone, never to be mentioned again, after he'd featured prominently in so many episodes. :-(

Thanks for commenting :) Yay George!

I totally agree; Stargate canon seems to move on very quickly...

Thank-you very much :) Oooh, Daniel and Chekhov fic, am I sensing a prompt for the next round?...

I don't know if there is a right way to spell his name. I think I've typed it differently each time!

These are lovely. I'm especially enamored of the vibrant coloring in #2 and #9, and the crop in #1 and #9. And I love everything about #8. The captioned one makes me grin, but I just love their expressions and body language by itself, and the coloring and softness. And I'm really impressed at how you conveyed the prompt -- that's really hard to do with icons, and you got it across wonderfully. (And the 'heart' lighting is a delightful accident!)

I was upset at the loss of Chekhov too. He was a great character and I'd have loved to see so much more of him. ::grumbles with you::

Thanks so much for making these! Would it be OK with you if I snagged #9 for the community icons?

Wow, thank you very much! Those are wonderful compliments and I hope that not too many of them were for things I did by accident :) I was a little worried about expressing something like 'the cold war' with icons, but I'm glad it worked out.

I agree, I wonder what kind of trouble adventures a Russian X303 would have gotten into? Or what the Russian Stargate program evolved into? Or even what "So you're captaining a ship now too, eh?" conversation between Chekhov and Emerson would have been like. I guess that'll have to wait for the next round...

Snagging #9 is absolutely fine by me, I'd be very honoured in fact :)

Great, thank you!

I'm all for taking credit for accidents, too. It's still something you did, and an effect you liked and realized worked.

Oh, I so, so hope that in the next round you expand on some of those things you're speculating on. I'd love to see that!
