I have quite a few icons in the works right now, but they were getting a bit much, so I thought I'd start posting them. :D The majority of these are from Johnny Weir's very sexy Poker Face exhibition program. They're.. a little different. ;) (Turned out far more 'James Bond opening credits' than I ( Read more... )

I am your biggest fan! estriel February 22 2009, 21:43:41 UTC
REET! THESE ARE THE BOMB! They're so different from everything I've seen you make so far. AND I LOVE THEM. My first thought wasn't of James Bond (I haven't even seen James Bond), more like... of some really professional ad.

I love the coloring and the EFFECTS you use. SO COOL! I think I might have to throw out all of my current icons and replace them with these, haha.

They somehow capture the program so perfectly. Hot!
I'm taking (or should I make it a list of what I'm NOT taking? that would be shorter):
1 and 2 - can't decide which version I like more
5 - I love the contrast
6 - how did I not NOTICE the back before?! oh, right, I was too distracted by the ass to pay attention to the back. but dude, his BACK. is SEXY. *breaks out into a spontaneous performance of Sexyback*
7, 8 - colors <333
9 is just so calm and beautiful and it makes me think of Swan Lake, or of some... water sprite/muse/goddess rising out of the waters. (and I know that's not consistent with the program at all, but it's just a beautiful photo and you made it even softer) and guh, I love all the versions of it, I can't decide which one I want, so I'm taking all! tho 10/13/14 looks pretty much the same on my screen?
16 - I love the green and 17 oh the contrast again! makes me think of comics!!! (and he looks like he's a sexy graphic novel diva about to pull out two guns from her belt)
18 - have I mentioned that I'm love with this semi-transparency effect thingy? SO COOL REET! I think it's even hotter in red, in 21
19 - beautiful linessss Johnny, beautiful
22 - and again with that GRAPHIC NOVEL FEEL YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE SUPERHEROES, RIGHT?! (oh god, this makes me crave that Sin City-styled figure skating epic that we once discussed! We need fanartists!)
25 - makes me wonder how he doesn't fall right off his edges. sexy edges! (and a wonderful cropping job!)
26 - contrast! and 27 just because I can't decide whether I want ++gradient or less gradient lol
28 - I love the blurry softness - it evokes a sensation of... motion
32 is TEH SEX! as is 35!
37 looks like it's dawn and he's basking in the morning sun... it makes me think of martial arts movies, something like Hero, with the play of colors and light and just beautiful!
38 is so nice - I prefer it to 36, I love how it has more color in the layers?
41 - have I mentioned that I'm such a sucker for his silhouette?
43 - I love the pink touch to it, and the red/orange in 45. and well, the morning sun in 44.
48!!! I live for those legs. I love how you cropped. <3
50 - what a gorgeous blueish tinge! it looks almost like... a vintage photograph that way.
the green/red in 52 is intriguing
56 - THIGHS! did you make those to please/tease me? XD
58 - hello, Catwoman!
59 and 60 are both gorgeous, I really really like the green and it reminds me of something, but I don't know what arrrgh.
62 is SUCH a marvelous idea! And okay, that is james bond-y. I love how this way, it looks like he's wearing some... kneepads. Again, superhero costume alert! <3
(I've seen those that come next already and they're gorgeous and I'm saving them, but no detailed comments on them?)
73!!!!! REET! MY LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES! the coloring is fantastic!!!
as is the coloring in 74 + 76
I think 75 is calling for some text/something in the field on the right.
78 and 79 are adorable, I love the soft soft use of texture and also how you handled the selective color layers (I think there are some, right?)
same goes for the rest of them, with steph and the both of them, I love the subtle colors and textures
83 looks so soft, but kind of... hot. at the same time.I love how you adjusted the colors.
oooh ANIMATION! 89-90-91. I think these will make certain people *coughcelcough* very happy
95 - that pic never ceases being hot
98 is just adorable. lovely coloring, too, I love the touch of... beige? (selective colors again?)

REET I LOVE YOU!
And really, it makes me SO HAPPY to see you making icons again! <333 And haha, like anyone would hate you for billions of versions!

You are one crazy crazy lady. *admits* Though I also admit I melted of the happy a little. ;D It's been very long since I've really made them for other people as well.
I was very inspired, though. xD And I kept listening to Lady GaGa through it all which was just perfect for the mood.
I likef the style of the Poker Face ones. I wasn't sure if others would. lol
And, um, like everything good, of course, I must confess, it was a total accident how I came up with it. LOL!

'm sorry. I enjoy making fangirly comments. *shrug*
You did fantastically well, though, babe, really. What am I going to do in my photoshop class tomorrow lol? I mean, there's no way I could top this, or even come close. ;)

He is inspiring. *nods*

Also, heh, these make me want to watch Kill Bill. Or at least listen to the music. I'll have to find both the movie and the soundtrack somewhere.

Bond chicks always have their silhouettes like that in the opening credits. :D On colourful backdrops.

The semi-transparency effect was a total accident. I was actually following a tutorial, and the final result didn't please me at all, so I deviated. A lot. lmao I changed to whole thing and played around and copy pasted bigger versions of the same picture onto the smaller picture and voila. Pretty neat, but it prolly only works with a certain kind of colouring and background.

I kept all the strong contrast-y ones because I thought his silhouette is stunning on those.

That picture you mentioned of the back? Very very perfect sexy back. Hard to move on from that icon really. ;D

I was a little worried that the same kind of colouring for all the pokerface ones, I guess, might get a bit boring? but at the same time it was fun to make them all similar, because like you said, it somehow captures the program.

He DOES look swanly in the 9 and 15. (I think it must come naturally? XD) Very... serene. And his butt looks.. so comfortably settled on that bit of ice, heeh.

10/13/14 do look pretty much the same on my screen as well. The diff is really minuscule, it's in which picture you want to be more prominent, the smaller in the background or the big in the forefront. Ah, heck, you know I just couldn't decide. lmao
26 - contrast! and 27 just because I can't decide whether I want ++gradient or less gradient lol
*giggle* The left one has more pink. :D
32 is TEH SEX! as is 35!
You know, I've never found the frog move as sexy as I did in this program. And it can apparently be .. very interesting if cropped right. *dies laughing*
48!!! I live for those legs. I love how you cropped. <3
Thanksies
56 - THIGHS! did you make those to please/tease me? XD
Totally. And myself as well. It seemed like a great idea. Because what's better than Johnny-thighs? Double Johnny-thighs!
Glad you like the purple colouring too!! 74 + 76 looked so sharp and pretty on the pc so I decided to go with it. (Agreed that 75 is half incomplete.)
98 is just adorable. lovely coloring, too, I love the touch of... beige? (selective colors again?)
Both selective colours and colour/texture layers, methinks.

THANK YOU. Really. Happy that you liked them so much.
