[36][IQ 01x02+] Fellowship of the Ring (part 1?)

[angelamaria]

I unearthed the unsorted Fellowship of the Ring caps I made and started going through them. Gosh, has this always been this dark and broody? Lol! Haven't gone very far--I'm only up to their meeting Aragorn. Though I have an Arwen icon. Go figure.

Icons made for theiconquest, chapter one main and side quest for week of July 7-13

^ That totally made me laugh because I just started working with LOTR caps today for this comm tooo. (Because LOTR= the essence of adventure!) and my plan was to make the 25 icons from various caps from all 3 movies+hobbit trailer but I wasn't even halfway through Fellowship of the Ring and already had 11 icons so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to make a double batch lol Those caps are just too awesome (if not a pain in the butt to lighten sometimes) for words!

*cough* I shall stop rambling!!

These are really interesting and I love the coloring! I ADORE 9! Such a pretty coloring! Also really love 6, 21 and 22 :D Great job on the sidequest! (I did LOTR too lol but mine was for the Agility scheme and I had a really hard time with it though I learned a lot) I love the Arwen icon and the "beer" icons hehe

[angelamaria]

Haha, yes, definitely the essence of adventure! Making the icons makes me want to re-watch as well ;) And yes, I keep having to lighten them up considerably; hopefully I get to Rivendell soon, that should have enough lighter caps XD

Rambling is good. ♥

Thanks so much for your compliments. I'm just getting back from iconing since I stopped like...I don't know how long ago, lol. I particularly love 9 as well, it's such a "grand" sort of scene! And it's FUN iconing Merry and Pippin, gosh. They're so...fun XD

I actually had a hard time for Bard in the sidequest as well. I mean, I had a hard time with Wizard too, but I didn't really expect that from Bard since majority of my main quest icons always end up Bard, lol.

Wednesday is my day off from work so I definitely will be pulling out my blu-ray LOTR discs I got a few months ago ;) I will admit, when the caps are lightened up they are so pretty!

♥

You're welcome! :) Glad you got back to it :D The whole gang is SO adorable to icon XD

I'm definitely going down a different route for doing the sidequest cause trying to add the color to the image by setting the layer to screen/multiply/etc just did not work as planned lol And mine are either Hero or Agility and the my sidequest was all ~meh~ lol

[angelamaria]

Agreed to the prettiness! Jealous, I need to get myself blu-ray LOTR too. Because obviously only one EE copy is not enough (also, sadly, it is in region 1, even though I bought it here in Singapore. Sob).

And yeah it was amazingly rather challenging to achieve the correct hue D: I play around with lighten layers a lot more than screen/etc though, but it can be tricky and can't used for all of the palette/cap combinations.

These are great! My favorites have to be 8, 19, & 25.

[angelamaria]

Thank you! I'm totally floundering with the Wizard icons. I'd love to be Wizard, but I'm still figuring out my way with composition. Not that I don't do complex icons for the other classes, but for Wizard I'm really trying to stick to the "composition" bit and it's...challenging!

I love 14, 15, 17, 22, 30 (lol!), 33, and 36 (my favorite!).

[angelamaria]

Hah, thank you! I had to inject humor somewhere in FOTR, or at least while I was iconing it. A bunch of these scenes were so dark it depressed me a bit :( so yeah. I think Saruman definitely needs to lighten up a bit ;)

[tadpool]

haha, good, because the humor was A+. Though I wasn't sure how Saruman would get a giant crystal sphere (what it's officially called is escaping me) dry cleaned, so I just assumed you meant his beard, because that makes more sense! :P

[angelamaria]

LOL! Yes. XD I suppose the photo doesn't show it juuuust right. Damn!

The sphere thing on his staff...I don't think it's called anything, although the giant sphere thing he has is called the palantir :D

/end lotr geekdom

[angelamaria]

Aw thank you! :D Merry and Pippin are fun~ to icon.

[ionizable]

great post! i really love the way you incorporated the colours in the sidequest set, they match perfectly C:

[angelamaria]

Thank you! :D It was quite challenging and I'm glad the icons worked somehow ♥
