Here are those Hawaii Five-0 icons I promised. Such pretty, pretty colors on this show!

As always, all icons are free to use. Please comment and credit.

**Before and after time! This was such a darling moment in the show, but holy crap the original lighting was impossible. Dammit, Daniel Dae Kim, face the light! It just wants to luuuuve you! In additional to the usual sharpening, this scene needed a lot of coaxing in the lighting department to bring Chin out of the shadows. Then I had to tone down the reds and yellows a bit because that original coloring was very...orange.

I got my hands on scans of The Umbrella Academy! I own both trade books and adore this comic to death. Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba are fantastic storytellers! I've got dozens of images picked out to iconize, but here's a teaser from the second trade book, Dallas. These three feature the villains Hazel and Cha-Cha and future villain John Perseus.

Oh hey. Check this out.

Another day, another new fandom! Last month I started watching Hawaii Five-0, which is cracky fun. They're a governor-established task force with carte blanche to violate ALL your civil rights in the pursuit of car chases and ridiculous action sequences! YEAH! I've been lured in by the gorgeous Hawaiian scenery and the delightful bickering. Scotty Caan plays a little ball of rage and proper procedure from New Jersey! JERSEY!!! WOOOO!!!

But I've noticed a depressing lack of Photoshop in the icons of this fledgling fandom, so for once I'm going to throw my hat in the ring with (gasp!) screenshots for an active fandom. Yikes, the pressure! There's a reason I've focused on mainly non-fandom icons.

With screencaps of a live-action show, I'm finding that the best tactic seems to be to hyper-sharpen the character(s) in the foreground, blur/dim/desaturate the background slightly, and add some kind of light/texture effect or text to give it that polished look.

Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.

Oh wait,

Meanwhile, I finally finished reading The Losers comics, and there was much screencapping. I love ALL their little faces. SO. HARD. Boys! Aisha! Stegler! And WTF is up with that LOLtastic backstory for Max? And so with a cry of "Nukes for New Jerusalem!" here are seven new icons.

Feel free to take any of these icons. Please comment and credit.
