27 Costume Drama Icons

Aug 19, 2011 02:27

To be truthful I'm not sure what format to put these in since I participated in a secret icon battle. I didn't know who my group mates were until the unveiling. I've included a link below to check out the gorgeous icons done by ohgollygeedamn and theotherayn.

Thank you! :) I really like number 7 and how it turned out although to be truthful it took me an hour to work on the coloring.

I absolutely LOVE the texture work in #4!
You all did an awesome job! I'd considered doing this battle, but I see now that it wouldn't have worked because everyone was doing fandoms and I just don't do those anymore. Think we could get our butts in gear and work on an icon battle here for just stock (or general subjects like art)? Something to think about anyway. :)

I love how #4 turned out and it was a mistake when I tried to do something with it, but loved how it turned out.

They had a stock battle so it would have worked out. :) Yeah we can think of battle to host.

Oh dang! I must have missed seeing that post! Shoot. I'd like to do a battle, but I think we'd need to post a poll to see if our members would like it and would participate. Open it to members and watchers I think. :)

OH WOW WOW WOW! Looks like I`m going to be busy stealing some for the next couple of minutes! 6,7,14,22,25 and 27 (basically all the negative space ones) are spectacular ! The coloring too is perfect! Stealing 27 and 14 for now~ :D

oh btw have you seen the new Jane Eyre? Thoughts?

I think I can honestly say I can do negative space quite well. LOL! I've been working really hard on my coloring. I'm glad you like a few! :D

Haven't seen the new Jane Eyre yet although it on my DVR (pay per view) and am planning to view it later tonight so I'll post my thoughts on it. Have you seen it?

Yep I`ve seen the movie! It was pretty nice :) Not the best but good. Mia surprised me as Jane. She wasn`t half bad as I expected. MF was HAWT and amazing as Rochester but Toby will always remain my favorite :)
The movie is PRETTY! The atmosphere is great. Judy Dench was amazing as was Sally Hawkins. Overall it was quite a beautiful film :)

I agree the movie is pretty-I think it had some AMAZING colors, but I didn't quite like it. I think there was a mismatch between Mia and Fassbender. I just couldn't see Jane and Rochester as them together. I just couldn't and still can't. Fassbender, I admit fills out period clothing quite well especially the backside. Also the kissing scenes between the two for me were a bit awkward...I don't know if it the way Fassbender kisses (I haven't seen much of his films to do a proper assessment) or Mia, but it was just awkward. I kept wanting to see more of how Jane falls for Rochester and we don't see that.
