Thank you so much! =)

Oh my god! These are so gorgeous Gurky. I am so jealous of your cropping and ability to use textures. Every single icon is always so different and original. It's like they all tell their own story.

My favourite's are #'s 1, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 26 & 30.

The colouring on #'s 20 & 21 is AMAZING. As is the texture use on #1 and #17. They really suit the icons. Plus the crop on #5 and #30 is just gorgeous!

Also, where do you get your textures? If you don't mind me asking, because they are always so gorgeous!

Oh and I'm saving lots of course ;) Will credit!

Aw, thanks so much, sweetie! I'm so glad you like them, it means so much coming from you.. =)

The textures I get from various places. Like the one I used in 9 is from maytripper who has some amazing ones. I actually can't remember where I got the one I used on 17, but it's one of my all time faves as you probably have noticed, I've used it on a lot of stuff. It might have been tihana who has some great ones, but I've had it for ages, so I don't really know.. I also use a lot I get from brasaremean. And if you wanna browse some, here is my resources post =)

Thanks so much :D I'll check all those out.

Yay, you made an icon post too! :D These are just too damn pretty. I love that you make a lot of icons of female actresses, cuz really, they just have better photoshoots and are prettier to icon, right? HAHA! I love what you did with 30 and I can't decide between 23 or 24 cuz they both rule! 28 is AMAZING! How the hell did you get Dan out and make it look like he wasn't there to begin with?! :O

Also love 7, 13 (AMAZING TEXTURING!) and 16!

agurkis January 22 2008, 12:41:09 UTC

Haha, you got me.. ;) Cus I honestly can't seem to make icons of others than female celebs these days. Photoshoots are so easy to icon and they always fill me with inspiration. As for caps from shows/movies, not so much. I actually had to cough up these GG ones just to have something other than celebrities.. ;)

Oh, I actually found a cap which Dan wasn't in! There is so way I'm good enough to erase him out without it looking crappy, hah. I'm so glad you like them, sweetie. Especially 28 cus I just tried out different stuff and I originally didn't know if I was gonna post them all, cus they are all so similar, only with different textures, so I just come off as being really lazy.. ;) But I posted it in the end cus I actually was kinda happy with it.

fierytigress January 22 2008, 12:52:38 UTC

I agree with you there, hun. I mean, I have iconned male celebs, but they just aren't as easy to icon. Good to look at, no doubt, but hard to get inspiration from. I try but nothing great ever comes from doing so. Haha, same here. I can't seem to make good icons out of caps anymore. It's what I used to do but.. Now, not so much my thing. Haha!

Really? Cuz they both look so SAME. Btw, totally loved that scene. Best one of the series, in my opinion! Is that which ep you are up to now? No, it was good you posted them. I love them all, but I like the effect on 28 cuz it's goes well with the mood of the scene. :)

agurkis January 22 2008, 13:05:53 UTC

Yep, I agree. I have tried, failed and deleted again cus they sucked so hard. I really need to push myself to do caps. But I just saw that Gossip Girl ep last week and was all NEEDTOICONTHATSCENE! Haha. I'm up to 1x05. But I'm soon gonna have to start downloading, cus a) I'm getting addicted and b) I'll be busy Wednesdays nights when it's on. But it's good, cus I can marathon.. ;)
