Not having seen Rent yet, I have no idea what these are about, but they are great! I really like #10 :). Do you do something to the images to make them look brighter and more intense, or are the caps like that originally? And speaking of icons, did you know I'm doing Hornblower for icons100? Got approved a couple of days ago, and that's the reason why I'm behind on pretty much everything else. I did twenty-something already; they aren't oh so great but some of them are good enough that you don't want to look away as soon as you see them. Will post the 100 to my LJ when I'm finished, which might be soon if I keep putting off everything else.
The caps aren't like that originally. I fiddle with brightness/contrast to make them darker or brighter, and then I play with the layers to increase/decrease the intensity. I don't do much with my icons other than that; sometimes I play with gradients but I like simple, so that's really what my style is.
It's always hard for me to judge just how they're going to turn out, because my laptop screen is smaller than any other moniters. For me, they're tiny and on a regular laptop/desktop, they're much much bigger.
I didn't know you were doing icons for icons100!!!! I'm excited to see some of your stuff!!!
The thing about contrast and intensity is that it's addictive. I keep thinking, 'just a tiny bit darker', 'just a tiny bit more intense'... At least I can stop myself before they become too dark.
You might be seeing them really soon! I've done 49 so far so maybe I'll be able to finish them all this week! Maybe. Because I don't really have the time, but instead of translating those bloody geological articles or trying to fix the code of that damned program-that-will-never-work, I keep making HH icons. 'One more and then I'll start working.' And then, 'Okay, maybe two more...'
