1. I'm doing a big marathon Lost right now (my plan is to continue the marathon right up until season 6, so that's it's all just one big story and I don't have to wait every week for the last few episodes) and I'll tell you what, it's so much better than I remember it being! I mean, I remember being impressed but the level of scriptwriting ( Read more... )

1. I stopped watching Lost at the beginning of S3 and then started again in S4, so there's a whole chunk of storylines I'm missing:D But I am SO glad they got away from the flashbacks because it was obvious they had gotten everything out of that by S2 ( ... )

1. ooh, you should absolutely keep watching - season 5 had a REALLY interesting take on the whole flashback situation.

2. yeah yeah, good point. So if people want to see them purely in chronological order than can come here, but if they want to get them and use them they can go there.

3.a) that's a good idea! Or even smudging, so it's not got the same radius of blur everywhere. thanks :D

q) hm, maybe I'll have to remake this with snazzier colours after all :P
I guess it could do with some yellows...

it's so depressing because it was PERFECT in season 1! Definitely the ideal hair that every guy should be aiming for! And now it's just a horrible tangled mess... my friend came over and watched it with me and he was "dude, do you not see how much better it is now" and my face was just one big D:

1. Oh no, I am watching now (at US pace, even, so I don't get spoiled for the ending) I started again when they introduced the flashforwards and I've been loving it ever since. I just haven't ever seen S3:)

ooooh, I see, I see. I'm realising that about now is the worst time ever to avoid Lost spoilers because EVERYBODY is talking about it :P I just hope I can make it through the marathon before somebody spoils me

yay, a community! should i join it already? i like the name a lot.
about lost, omg, first 3 seasons were awesome but now the storyline is so fucked up and since i am one of the dumbest people ever i am LOST at times. (okay, actually in my own defense i must say that whenever i watch something i do other stuff because i can't focus on only one thing, so i have opened a little window with movie/tv show played and web browser/photoshop in the other window and that's how i roll lol). but yeah first 3 seasons were awesome! claire is my favorite i think but it's because she's so stunning, when it comes to storylines then locke is my fave! i love lost so much, all my friends hate it with passion for some reason.

okay can i just tell you which icons i liked? ok thanks, so:

okay about icons!! but
since i make mainly stock & fashion icons and they are usually simple because people on my communities kind of idk like them like that so i am basically talentless/knowledgeless (?!) when it comes to textures and so on because i just don't use them because i am just too scared of doing things wrong/ugly so this comment is very lame

f) is really nice, i dont like that ear very much but the coloring is so pretty. if i am already talking about coloring then you must now that i absolutely adore g) omg, k) is probably my favorite and so is m)! n is such nicely colored too, i like it a lot, o) has awesome coloring too (omg i pay a lot of attention to it don't i?) , v) is so nice! okay ROY ICON IS MY FAVORITE AFTER ALL. i like how red and pink plays with green and yellow! okay this is really lame comment...

yes, yes! Do join :D

lol, that's how I roll, too! I've gotten pretty lost (I just realised this makes for a VERY appropriate series name, because all of the viewers are lost as well as the characters :P) in the later seasons too.
She really is. I've loved Ana Lucia for so long but Sun is so cute I think I might be converting :P

2. YAY. some people hate to friend journals to watch icons. I suspect a higher overall awareness of your icons :) I've friended it already :)

3.
a) I notice the purples and reds! I'm all about purples.
b) even so, the smoothness of this icon is very you.
what's (i) from?
j) i'd say it's very washed out.
k) BUT THE OTHER ONE YOU HAD. I liked it better, this one is ruined, and you look at the texture and not her. I mean, it's pretty, but you know. I think it was by someone else?
p) vs q) I love the colours in p), but yeah the composition in q) is just PERFECT.
v) hmm, idk, I feel like the edge of her face is too, hard, or something?
y) sooo pretty. The greens are bright for a change! hee. the left side is a little splotchy, tiny detail.
z) I love the quinn is your favourite. she's mine too!

I feel like I was overly critical? I know you like your greens, don't worry about that :)

4. the van gogh similar-y person was me! :)

woo! I am looking forward to this overall awareness! :D (but seriously, don't hold your breath for it to be open/populated. The layout's just about done but I've got SO much other stuff that is taking priority these days.

a) YAY!
i) The Inside. It's amazing but shamefully unknown. I just got gigglemonster hooked on it and flatlined recently started making icons of it, so you'll have a few other people to talk about it with :P
I did an overview of it here in point 3 that you might want to check out before watching.
k) yeah, the other one was by mouthfullofdust, but I just wanted it to have more pizzaz and be more me. I like to aim to have the focus fall on the subject and the texture equally and have them become something entirely new rather than just a smaller version of a cap.
z) everybody loves Quinn!! Except I really hope that they do something new with her storyline because I'm really sick of her just being moody all the time

iladora February 16 2010, 13:02:54 UTC
haha, yes I know, I've been waiting many many months and my breathe is definitely not held :)

i) all I got was that it's pretty and dark. maybe when I'm done lost and alias and fringe all of which I haven't seen more than one episode of. I expect I'll be watching about two episodes of things each day, to have a clear watching schedule once uni start.

k) that makes sense :) although having texture as a second focus did work better on that other icon you made with the texture. I'd probably use mouthfullofdust's one if I were choosing, is what I probably mean :)

z) Because she's so lovely but not flawless! :D I loved when she was all food-fighty because she is SO gorgeous when happy.

1. You know I love lost. After every season I usually do a rewatch of everything thus far, and yeah, I love it. AND OMG, are you loving the sexiness of the hair in that show? I swear, every actor has amazing hair (even locke, who has none :P). In my opinion, season 3 is the prettiest - green green green green green. :D

2. Yay, graphics comm! Are you still going to explain your icons though? Because that's the best part of your posts!

3. a) I think the colours are interesting, but yeah, like you said, the texture is wayyy too overpowering. What's the cap from?
b) I really like the lighting in this one. The shadows are so perfect!
d) I actually like the light splodge. It kind of reminds me of tihana's stuff. I also like the faint reds in the background there. idk. I'm all for cool colours so I like this a lot ( ... )

1. ugh, yes! I've saved so many caps into my hair inspiration folder (for when I finally get around to having a hair person for my shoots :D) I'm still jizzing in my pants over Sun's hair in the 1x17 just after she's slapped Michael.

2. yeah, yeah, everything will still be running here as per usual, but every now and again I'll catalogue everything there

3. h) YES! I actually made that one with you in mind ;)
y/z) :D thankyou!

4. I promise that you will be seeing more coloured textures from me! You can always desaturate it if necessary, but you can't really saturate a black and white texture is my POV on the situation. Also colours = good, so yeah :P) I've got another batch on the way that is turning out really well :D

5. are we going to see your movie when you're done with it?

1. OMG I know! Just wait until you get to kate's hair a-la season 3. And Juliet has some good hair moments.. god.

2. Goood, because I think I'd die a little if they didn't. Change and I don't work well together :P hahah.

4. Exactly. I've gotta say, I think you're textures are getting a million times better now that you're doing them more often (like, they were good before, but now they're amazing).

5. I'll have to check with my lawyer... :P but seriously. I'll send you a copy in the mail or something. And it won't be done until around September, but when it is, you'll definitely get to take a look. :D

2. yeah, this journal will always be a first priority. The community's just for the people too lazy to friend me ;)

4. ooh, I agree! making them from scratch is turning out to be loads of fun and the results are so much better :D

5. just so you know, I'm expecting Legend of the Seeker levels of awesomeness! With your knowledge of colour, you'd better post-process the heck out of that film!
