- 32 icons from Witchblade 1x02 & 1x05

More Witchblade, because it's awesome. ♥

The icons from this batch are still focused on Sarah & Nottingham, but there's some Kenneth Irons & Concubar in them too ;D

Screencaps are self-made.

One thing that occurred to me looking over these icons is I love how the glove changes for each wielder, and how it became a little more viewable and interesting in Episode 2. If you find any good pictures of her with the Ep2-12 glove on glaring at someone (like the one at the top), or something good with just the Ep2 bracelet, do post! :)

The other idea that struck me might icon well is Irons holding Sarah's hand next to his face, smirking, and showing her the scar on his hand. It was framed so beautifully in the series.

Actually I'm kind of amazed at how little the gauntlet actually appears on the show. I try and gather every good shot of it, but they are just so far and between. Most of the time they simply show the bracelet or she pulls the gauntlet on for a quick minute during which you only catch a glimpse of it... :(

Also I totally like the Irons character, but it's like he gets the least to do on this show. That and he's lit badly, which makes it that harder to icon him. Also I'd have gladly seen more tension between him and Sarah on the show, because it always worked well on the comic. Sarah doesn't appear attracted at all towards him on the show, which is kinda of a shame, because they have interesting dynamics with his true love being the Witchblade itself.

Pity about the gauntlet. Irons is fairly well lit in some scenes though, especially where he shows Sarah all his art gallery, I think. Or the snow-jogging scene. But yes, most of the time, very dim. Yeah, it is a little bit of a shame, but they were also aiming to make Sarah a more grounded, more realistic character than the girl who dresses in an all-vinyl dress during the opening pages of the comic, they wanted her to be a real NYC cop, and real NYC cops wouldn't dig Irons at all, they're too down-to-earth. As far as 'shipping goes , I always wanted Sarah/Gabriel :D Hell, the other reason I'd've kept watching for years is, one of the few actors I've ever seen who had the Chops to play Irons *was* Gabriel, and I think they were going to make Pez start falling for Gabriel!Irons in Season 3, which would've brought the comic to life.

I'm officially overstaying my welcome now lol

Another idea that just hit me is look how dynamic her face is - she'd make a great Mood Theme icon set... :D

Really, I don't mind you commenting (stalkers... ahem devoted fanpeople are nice). ;D

I was actually thinking about doing a mood theme, but we'll see how I have the time (I sort of have a knack for mood themes as well, it's a guilty pleasure). I should be writing my thesis ;)

I feel like I need a Knives Chau icon if I'm going to be your stalker, I'll work on it ;D

But yeah I'll gladly stalk any female iconographer/mood themer who digs Witchblade and comics. Here i'll hold a torch for you. *picks one up out of Conchobar's bar and holds it up* ;D :D :D Can I get you anything? A sandwich? Hehehe

I look forward to your Mood Theming if you decide to run with that.

I miss this show, so much. The icons are awesome! I especially love the Nottingham icons, they're just awesome!

[tahraton_mieli]

Thanks! I like Nottingham a bit too much, which I why I made a special effort to make Nottingham icons ;)
