How difficult is it to get back to making icons after a break? Ugh. There are also some older icons in this batch, along with some remakes. Over the break I've also gotten obsessed with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, so here you see some proof of that :P ( Read more... )

pitch perfect, paradise kiss, jane eyre, .2013, elementary, the lizzie bennet diaries, lord of the rings, #theiconquest, the hobbit, !icons, star trek, harry potter, #bestof-icons, howl's moving castle

Aw #23 is so cute! ♥

angelamaria February 11 2013, 02:11:02 UTC

Haha, thanks! :D It's one of my favorite Gandalf scenes :)

luminousdaze February 11 2013, 02:47:10 UTC

Mine too!
ETA:
I like also the pink/red Bilbo icon.

angelamaria February 11 2013, 03:11:46 UTC

Thank you! I needed to make it blue for the challenge but I do prefer the pink/red Bilbo version as well :)

Love your new icon styles, especially your use of colour. :)

But I'm really commenting more to let you know that I'm finally up to date on the Lizzie Bennet Diaries! It's certainly become interesting in recent episodes. Weirdly though, I actually prefer Lydia's channel. Something about the handheld camera makes hers feel more "real"? Plus, I think she is such a Lydia, isn't she? Anyway, just letting you know. :)

Yaaaaay you have watched it!! I have been wanting to make an LBD post for some time now but I keep thinking no no no I can't spoil it for Kim who is still watching! Haha. I watched in order and so had no idea what Darcy looked like until I got to that episode and gosh, I was kinda jumping in my seat when he actually walked into the room. dlkfjadsjlajflsakdjfa ( ... )

Lol @ the jumping in your seat when Darcy came into it! I agree that Darcy isn't as much of a pretty boy as Bing, but I have to admit that I found him a bit... wooden/stilted, I guess? I don't know, I guess I've always thought of Darcy as giving off a haughty/arrogant vibe (at least until you get to know him, if you know what I mean) but I don't think that necessarily translates to wooden/stilted? It would be hard to act, though. Really hard. In any case, he's starting to loosen up which is nice, and corresponds to his progression as a character in the story ( ... )

angelamaria February 12 2013, 02:15:35 UTC

Yeah, in terms of characterization I understand why they went with a more "I'm more awkward than arrogant" thing for Darcy, as opposed to just plain arrogant. I prefer just the self-assured arrogance, but I will admit to being very taken with his awkwardness around Lizzie too, and the slight change during that interview episode was interesting. I mean, he's very awkward when talking to Lizzie, but when he addressed the channel ("what would you viewers like to know?") I felt like his "normal" confidence showed up for a bit there, like how he must be professionally/in meetings/etc, you know? It's rather endearing.

But you know how much of a Darcy fangirl I am. I am unapologetic.

Daniel Vincent Gordh, who plays Darcy, is kind of amazing though. He has this character reel that is like out of this world crazy. I warn you though, if you watch it you may never be able to watch Darcy with a straight face again, hahaha. I don't think he's cute outside of being Darcy though ( ... )

That ParaKiss icon <3

angelamaria February 11 2013, 17:08:34 UTC

Awww thank you! ♥ I'm glad you like it. I've had that image sitting in my drive for such a long time and I've been wanting to turn it into an icon but it just wasn't working out, until that. I think. :3 I'm glad you like it :)

theotherayn February 11 2013, 15:45:20 UTC

LBD, Tolkien and Howl's Moving Castle??? I <3 you!! great work on 7 (I've been trying and failing for weeks to make a similar icon of that cap lol) also love 8, 14, and 15. the vibrant colors of the Tolkien icons are lovely. and grabbing 27 :D

angelamaria February 11 2013, 17:15:50 UTC

Ahhh thank you! Those three subjects are made of win. And LBD is a new discovery of mine and I am so glad I found it, I'm addicted--I've been iconning it nonstop, ooops. I'm almost done with another set haha. I'm actually not quite pleased with 7, the cap is not that HQ as you know, but while Darcy is passable (wrt definition), Lizzie is just...shaped oddly. I mean, it looks like her neck is super long :( but no matter how I cut the background out, it just doesn't work out. Ugh. I would die for a high-res cap of that scene.

(I hope, once they're done, they release a DVD or something. THEY HAVE TO.)

And I love Char. And Jane is so pretty, ugh.

THAT ICON YOU HAVE. WIN.

Okay, sorry for word vomiting, I don't mean to, I just have so many thoughts about LBD right now. :-|

(I'm glad you like the Howl hugging icon! I just had to make an animated icon of that scene. My only regret is how small it is. I want a closeup of Howl's face right there.)

setentpet February 11 2013, 18:24:05 UTC

I really like your LotR icons, especially the first 3.

angelamaria February 11 2013, 18:34:47 UTC

Thank you, I'm glad you think so! :)
