Yay new icons! I've been doing them bit by bit so they are of greatly varying quality, but never mind. There's some more I want to upload as well but I think I'll leave those for another day ( Read more... )

love 12, 20 breaks my heart (it's depths, right?)
33 is my favorite Kathryn picture!

What would you want to focus this community on?
Maintaining a comm is hard work...

Thank you bb!! 20 was one of my favourites, so I'm so happy you like it :) 33 is one of my favourite Kathryn pics too, but I found it quite difficult to icon it as it was black and white. I may end up redoing it in the future!

The comm would be like Larissa's graphics comm (untapdsart_loci) so it would just mean that all my icons could be posted there and people could join if they wanted to. I have a couple of ideas in terms of user participation too :)

If you haev PS, you can try coloring it. I did that with a couple if mine and I think they turn out lovely. The one I used for this comments was one of them. Well, actually to original is colored, but I decolored it and recolored it ;-)

I see what you mean about the comm. Sheesh, I'd never be able to maintain one. I'm having trouble updating my journal and blog often enough... let's not talk about my homepage or facebook...

Oh, I'll try that then, thanks :)

I think it would be pretty cool to have one, just to keep my icons separate from my regular LJ and so people can find them if they want. I see what you mean about having to make time to update though - I rarely go on Facebook any more. In fact, I don't tend to go to any site that isn't LJ, Hotmail or YouTube any more unless it's for work. *hugs* ♥

Thank you bb! I'm especially happy you liked the colourings because I've been working hard on those :)

I'm really impressed with #11, #15, #20, and #32. I'm going to snag those :) credit of course (because I always credit) you should check out the icontests when they are back from hiatus after July 4th :)

and let me hook you into this GEM of a icontable generator :)

SILVIN IS THE BOMB

Oh, wow! You snagged! I'm super honoured :) I'm especially happy you liked #20 and #32, because those two (and #18) were my favourite CI ones.
I was thinking about checking some icontests out (I was having a look at alexeames_still earlier and I think I'm going to join!) but I was worried that I was nowhere near good enough and would get laughed out of the comm, heh. But I feel more confident about it now :)

Thanks for the link! I was using another icon table generator that was pretty good, but something funky happened with my photobucket and it wasn't working. I'll have a look at that one for next time though! I do kinda like the layout I used in this post as well, though :)

Beautiful icons! Is it me I think there is a resembalance between Peake and Erbe? They have similiar mouths...

I thought Maxine Peake was excellent in that Anne Lister movie the other Sunday, it was refreshing to watch especially with it set in first half of the 1800s, we dont have enough to watch with that kind of history. She also makes a good comedic actress like in "Shameless" and "dinnerladies". lol!

Thank you so much! I hadn't noticed a resemblance, but now you mention it, they do have similar mouths. The shape and curve is sort of the same :)

I didn't realise you'd watched the Anne Lister film! Yeah, she was absolutely fantastic in it. One of her best leading performances so far, I think, along with See No Evil and Criminal Justice. I agree, it was especially great to see it set in the 19th century - the BBC always does historical dramas so well! Did you see in Little Dorrit? She played Miss Wade as being pretty gay :D I'm making some Little Dorrit icons soon, hopefully, as well as some more Anne Lister ones :D
And dinnerladies is so funny! I just bought the DVDs recently and it's just hilarious. I end up crying with laughter in every episode!

She does play queer characters alot :D Also Maxine has the same mouth as Sharon Small too... the curve...

See No Evil? Is that one she played Myra Hindley? I am trying to think as Maxine has been in lots of things. She is a very versatile actress indeed. BBC always best at Historical Dramas.

I see you made a Anne Lister music video... I will go and check that out later.

I always thought her character Twinkle could have been gay - in the Millenium/Minellium episode she drank her coffee slowly because she didn't want to burn her mouth - 'I've got a sex life to think of, you know!'. ♥
But yep, I love that Maxine's so gay-friendly, it's awesome :D

Yeah, See No Evil is the Myra Hindley one. It's quite creepy how much she looks like her when her hair is peroxide blonde :s But she's amazing in it, and I agree, she's incredibly versatile.

I did make an Anne Lister video! And some icons too :) I can't wait to see what you think ♥

Yay! I'm glad you do! I did the Maxine ones especially for you :D
And I've done some Anne/Ann ones too, so they will be up soon! ♥

(Also, how ridiculously adorable does Maxine look in that white hat in those Edge ones? :D)

Yayy! I did a couple of the plaid-shirt ones so you could choose as well. Also, the way she's sitting... I just find it so adorable :)

Anne and Ann were indeed really adorable! So I hope you like the icons when I upload them!

(I know... but when is she ever not cute?? THAT IS THE QUESTION :D)
