I've fallen head over heels into The Losers fandom. Mixed media fandoms are SO my downfall. The movie was pretty, shallow fun, but some of the fics it inspired are complex and amazing (see [personal profile] storm_petrel's fics). I'm working my way through the comics now (up to issue 19 of 32), and [info]entwinedangels's pre-comics series Stories from the Same Routine has broken my brain with awesomeness. So welcome to my new fandom; here's my first batch of icons for it (based off scans of issues 1-19).

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

And lastly, [info]samanthahirr asked for an icon for her Kradam Kiss story. She specifically wanted friends and a misunderstanding. As always, specifically commissioned icons are NOT for general use. If you want to use it, you'll have to ask [info]samanthahirr.

4 more icons!

The first three started out as black-and-white images. I don't know why I decided to do that to myself--maybe I just wanted the challenge. I colorized each to a different degree using a different technique.

The fourth image is from the (fairly lackluster) Inception prequel
comic. But Arthur still kicks ass, even in two-dimensions. That suit looks gooood!

6 new icons in one evening. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the newly repaired air conditioning and play with Photoshop, you know?

5 more icons!

Am dealing with great frustration; my usual method of viewing all of my icons at once (by pasting them in a Word file) is suddenly not working. I keep getting an error that the document's memory can't handle the addition. This is bizarre and patently false. Grrrr.

I'm also experimenting with adding some kind of context to icons when I post them, as I've realized that many of my icons are vague/abstruse. So here we have the inspiring quote or some reference to (how I'm interpreting) the subject matter of each icon.

Five new icons tonight. I played with textures and brushes, resulting in some of my best work yet!

Caught up at last! My infatuation with the images on Homotography shows no sign of waning. These 6 icons, made in the last two weeks, are my best yet. I've been trying to put extra thought into these image manipulations, really pushing myself to do more than my usual 3-step "crop, contrast, and text." Lately I've really focused on lighting and texture. Enjoy!

Nearly caught up, this batch was created one month ago. I had just discovered Homotography, a wonderful blog of models and fashion shoots. With thousands of gorgeous images to choose from, how could I not be inspired? These 15 icons are made from images from Homotography.

Still catching up, this batch marked a return to icon-making about 6 months ago. I had to reteach myself all the techniques I'd forgotten I knew, resulting in an extremely mixed bag. These 6 icons are made from images of celebrities and models. The really surprising aspect is that only one features text--whether in the image or in my inspiration for the image manipulation.

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