35 Star Trek: TOS icons

Long time, no icons. RL has been a bit stressful the last few months and that can be such a muse killer, but my inspiration has finally returned with the help of some beautiful caps of Star Trek: TOS.

I love the colours and lighting in this entire set. Gorgeous!

Thank you! :o)

Holy crap, these are stunning!

I've only seen an episode of the original series here or there, you know, but some of these are so gorgeous that I want them as my default anyway. I mean, seriously. 34 is all kinds of illogically beautiful. I love the contrast: both the actual technical contrast, haha, and also the color contrasts. 29 slays me as well; talk about perfection! The texture work is just sublime, and that is totally how you do a stellar red icon. 24 is amazing as well; I am a sucker for purple! Hee. Just a really, really gorgeous set! ♥

Awww, thank you so much! :D To be honest, I haven't seen too many episodes of the original series myself, just the occasional repeats that came on when I was a kid, but a few weeks ago, I went to check out the TOS screencap galleries at TrekCore on a whim and found myself inspired by so many of the caps, with their bold colors and dramatic lighting...it really helped drag me out of an iconing funk.

You should sit down and watch it. It's on Netflix, and you can generally tell when an episode is going to be terrible (like the Nazi planet one, the gangster planet one), but some of them are really good. My favorites are S01E25 "The Devil in the Dark" and S02E06 "The Doomsday Machine."

wow. These are probably the best ST:TOS icons ever. Not that I've seen much but I cannot imagine anything better than this.

Awww, thank you! :D I'm glad you like them.
