HEY GUYS REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO MAKE ICONS LOL?
(This is my sixth update this year. Pathetic.)

I've been experimenting with this weird 'having a life' thing. I don't think I'm cut out for it.

Last night I gave this place a new layout, and I updated the user info last week. So check those out, maybe? Or don't, whatever.

I made some of these aaaages ago. And then I proceeded to get drunk in major European cities, and then I came home and quickly realised how much better my life had been when I was drunk in major European cities. I've missed you guys though. How have you been?

the breakdown

12-16. robert plant
17-21. john henry bonham
22. john paul jones
23. woodstock
24. beatles/paul mccartney

I said I didn't promise anything with that poll. I will, at some point, get around to iconizing all of the other movies, but this is one that I really wanted to do.

THIS is my favourite movie. There are other people in it besides Marlon and Eva Marie, but uh.. my favourites are always obvious. If you happen to want an icon of Johnny Friendly or something, just ask.

And because I'm curious and indecisive, a poll. I can't promise that I'll go with the majority vote, mostly because I don't think I'll be getting many votes at all.


 
 

I don't expect these to be very popular because Vertigo isn't a movie with a rabid fanbase. Not that I am referring to Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings or whatever movies are trendy right now (trendy movies of years past: Eternal Sunshine, Garden State, Phantom of the Opera...). Clearly, that didn't stop me. I experimented a lot with colouring for these.

( midge, do you suppose many men wear corsets?Collapse )

28 is in pitiful quality because I had to make it less than 40 KB. It was a pretty disappointing result.

Hooray tutorials. The lovely and talented Greta, who makes icons at thanksmrwarhol and has quite an eye for a good crop, asked how I did the colouring on some of my icons from the last post. Example:
