Adopt the Stars ...

Jul 06, 2007 03:15

This community was made for me to host icons created for the stars of the silver screen (or golden) era. With help from http://simplyclassics.net/, I plan on going through every actor and actress that I feel strongly about.

These icons weren't made for a contest community or hastily put together. Instead, I have put quite a lot of feeling and care into their creation.

This era is a passion for me, one that I love. All of my 'heroes' are from this time period, most specifically Greta Garbo and Mary Pickford. Hopefully I'll bring 'classic' to the theme of classic star art!

My icons are up for adoption, however I do humbly ask that if you use any of them for personal use, you put a simple howdy-do note in the keyword using either winter_kismet or silver_kismet as the credit source.

(I won't be hunting down people with pitch forks and torches if you don't credit, however I will say bad juju will be visited upon your head should you claim you made them yourself. Karma is a nasty thing to mess with!)

I won't be taking requests. Odds are, if they're famous and from that era, I'll wind up doing them at some point. Comments and critiques are welcome, I am open minded.

My goal is to have a seperate style than what most use. I usually work in basic black and white, though sometimes I'll use sepia, font color or color pictures. Feel free to join this community or just watch it. Non-members can post.

If you're interested in affiliation, post here and not in any of the icon showcases please.

If you are interested in contests featuring this era, I run silver_icontest, silver_lims and pinup_stillness ... the latter being members only.

Thank you for visiting and enjoy the icons. I made them to be used.
