icon meme
I am such a sheep. baaaah.
* reply to this post with "Stop, fast-forward, rewind" and I will pick six of your icons.
* make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
* other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
* this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.
These are the six that rowan_d picked.
made by the wonderfully talented winterfish. I am a Sam Carter/Janet Fraiser shipper and I love how intently Sam is staring at Janet. Plus, it's just a well executed and good looking icon. What's not to like?
made by lornyloo. Really get a kick out of this for a few reasons. 1) I'm an icon whore 2) I went through quite a kick back whenever this was uploaded of shiiiiiiiny being my favorite and most used word and 3) it's just makes me giggle.
also made by winterfish. See? Talented.
Sam again and in a very unusual, but interesting, crop. Coloring is catching but not overpowering and the text works very well. Really, it's just a spifftastic icon and being of Sam shoots it into the stratosphere. see what i did there?
made by me. An icon of Ani (Jessica Leccia)and Gina (Crystal Chappell) from the web series/soap Venice.
Kind of a long story. Okay, so in summer of '09 I got hooked on Guiding Light, a friggin soap opera. hee! Sadly, one that was canceled and going off the air in September. Always late to the party, I am. Anyway, got hooked because of the same sex pairing of Natalia Rivera (played by Leccia) and Olivia Spencer (played by Chappell).
Otalia. *happy sigh* This story and pairing? It kind of kicked Xena to the curb as being the object of my obsession affection.
So, the soap is being canceled and CBS SUCKS and wouldn't even let Otalia kiss. Not even in the last friggin' episode. *shakes fist* But both actresses were amazed and touched by how much the story of Otalia meant to so many people - especially Crystal. She wanted to give back, while also stretching her own creative muscles - and Venice came from that. The first season was okay, they were finding their legs as it were, and the second season just got better and better and better. As soon as the second season comes out on DVD I am SO buying both sets.
So, that's my long story slightly shortened. Heh.
Geez, and I didn't even really talk about the actual icon. Ooopsie. Mostly, just liked the shot of Ani hugging Gina from behind, desperately trying to make an emotional connection with Gina. But Gina is too damaged to let Ani in; they're physically connected but still so far apart. I've also gotten into using a lot of negative space in an icon and that seemed perfect for this moment of them quietly longing for more than what they have. *shrug*

This is the aforementioned Olivia Spencer. MMMMMM. This shot caught my eye, partly because I love profiles and Crystal's is especially delicious, but also because of her neck at the angle. I...have a bit of a thing for necks, especially when the tendon is standing out like that.
Messing around with cropping I ended up cutting off much of her profile but with that delicious neck, who cares? lol
And because I'm such an icon whore and now that I've gushed about CC's profile, here is an icon that actually shows it off.
GUH
also made by me.
Gabrielle, specifically Warrior Gabrielle - have quite the thing for her warrior persona. Plus, she rocked the short hair. I liked the photo and wanted to use it, but also try to use interesting crops and this is what I came up with. Felt like it needed something else and added the text. Wanted it to be there and readable but not taking too much of the focus. Not sure if I succeeded, but is what the finished product ended up being.
