I didn't know you was making Troy icons! I am way behind. Love. I'm not going to say what it is about every icon because they are all so individual with the colours and brushwork and textures. I'll be here all day if I mention every single one. lol

What really stands out for me -
10. rainbow
18. afraid
3. Stupid thing!
30. Luv ya!
32. What a feeling
47. Ouch!
51. diamonds (gorgeous)
90. flowers (so pretty!)
99. face (painfully beautiful)

Looking at them again I would have to say 99 is my fav - it's beautiful and sad and her expression is the focus with minimal brushes. She is just brave.

Merci beaucoup, mon amoure and I think you picked pretty much all my favourites here and I whole-heartily agree on your first choice – I was even taken aback, how this icon turned out in the end. She looks haunting. And Brad with a ‘kill you all’-expression is always a good one… *evil smile* And yeah, I made my claim after I discovered the 4500+ screencaps of [livejournal.com profile] emily_reich – it was actually a no-brainer this time!

I really need to sort out all of my icons and when I do I'm coming back for this one. Probably others too. I think I'm going to go for a whole change.

Astarte on another note - will you be posting your vids on your lj soon? Just wondering...
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 08:07am on 29/12/2005
I think within the next week, have a overall vid list in which I just need to add the links, it's more about working up the nerve to do so... *apologic grin*
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:10am on 29/12/2005
And why oh why would you be nervous?!
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 08:19am on 29/12/2005
LOL Fuck my English skills - I didn't mean 'work up the nerve' in the sense of nervous and totally in me being too lazy, because nobody is breathing down my neck!
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:25am on 29/12/2005
lol your English is generally better than mine. Ok when you're feeling less lazy you must post!!

will there be new ones? :: hopefull::
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:14am on 29/12/2005
Do you fancy a battle soon? I want to start one but I have no idea what...
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 08:31am on 29/12/2005
Absolutely – how about:

Volley 1 + 2: Keira Knightley
Volley 3 + 4: Jessica Alba
Volley 5 + 6: Christina Ricci
Volley 6 + 7: Lost Male Slash Manip
Volley 8 + 9: ?

If you like of course, but I think you have some pics of these ladies on your harddrive… *grin* You prompt size and would you start again, I know it’s a bit unfair of me, but I love replying to you… *puppy dog eyes*

About the vids, I will - soon! And about the icons - feel free to take, it still makes me giddy!
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:38am on 29/12/2005
Yes! Love these!

How about Volley 8 + 9: Brad Pitt or David B or a male model?

 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:40am on 29/12/2005
I know I know!

A Male singer... I would choose James Blunt but you could choose someone else if you wanted. :D
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 08:45am on 29/12/2005
Why not one volley more, because I love both ideas? So:

Volley 8 + 9: David Boreanaz
Volley 10 + 12: Male singer - I think I pick Jason Mraz!

Sounds good to me! I'll post the challenge now. Will you be going first or shall I?
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:01am on 29/12/2005
Ladies first and I mean you, I will follow your lead like a good slave...
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 09:04am on 29/12/2005
Ha! I'll make a start later tonight.
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:09am on 29/12/2005
Alright, can't wait for your first result!
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 08:43am on 29/12/2005
I forgot to mention size. Anything you like! I think I'll do odd sizes this time round..
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 09:10am on 29/12/2005
I seem to have hijacked your icon post... I hope it doesn't put others off from commenting!

And I should shut up now. lol
 
posted by [identity profile] xandra-ptv.livejournal.com at 09:17am on 29/12/2005
oh please... people love to comment.... like me right now who is posting just to show off that it took me this long to figure out without having a paid account i can change my icons with each post.

When you speak of the devil - Hello Love!
 
posted by [identity profile] xandra-ptv.livejournal.com at 09:21am on 29/12/2005
hello my love... nice shiny things. You must have no life you make hords of these every week. hows the Firefly watching going?

I was going to say exactly that ^ Xandra! ♥
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:18am on 29/12/2005
Hah! I’m used to it from Xandra, so don’t worry about hijacking my LJ and people comment, if they want to and my logic tells me that some, who would usually skip the entry, just click on the cut because of the 20+ comments! It makes them curious or maybe that’s just me!
 
posted by [identity profile] xandra-ptv.livejournal.com at 09:23am on 29/12/2005
yep, i was like "these are good, but their full frontal nudity, why all the comments" yes i checked your avartars for porn. i was dissappointed.

Yes i am the queen of hogging your lj and proud of it.
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 09:26am on 29/12/2005
I think this is where I exit. Have fun!
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:28am on 29/12/2005
You expected p0rn in a Troy icon post? *scratches head* I'm not going there...

Oh, and the two of you – You can always capture my LJ and do dirty things in it!

And to answer the question above: It really don’t take so long for an icon, just a question of practice and while on icons, Xandra can I steal your ‘Incest is the new black’ one, because I crack up everytime I see it and I want it and I just ask because I am polite and I will take it anyway! So shut up! I have a new icon! Thanks!
 
posted by [identity profile] xandra-ptv.livejournal.com at 09:32am on 29/12/2005
well i never saw the movie... so anything was possible.

sure steal it, i'll make more, i took the phase from a friend of mine. gonna make one with GM and Maebe next. Hers had Boone on it.
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:36am on 29/12/2005
Keep them coming, especially if they are so hilarious like this one... *cuddels her dirty!wrong!icon* And there is certainly not enough icon-love out there for AD!
 
posted by [identity profile] xandra-ptv.livejournal.com at 09:38am on 29/12/2005
why don't you ever go on aim, i'm gonna be bored making icons without company *pouts*
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 09:40am on 29/12/2005
Okay, I'm buying cigarettes now and then I'm going on AIM... Should be only five minutes tops!

99 is simply gorgeous. literally. Simple and gorgeous.
51 is brilliant.
10 is just so well well placed and well done I don't know why I love it so much.
100's capture is so brilliant and the brush work is fabulous.
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 07:40pm on 29/12/2005
Thank you so much for the compliments, Mary! I'm really happy you enjoyed those and I agree on 10, the brushes on the left side and the colours are eye catching even when they are so muted down. And yes, 99 is still my favourite... *grin*
 
posted by [identity profile] haltlos.livejournal.com at 04:09pm on 29/12/2005
Great job! I really liked the movie and your icons are so beautiful.
I guess my favorites are the Luv ya and the nose one even if I don't like Nadine Kruger but the icon ist great.
And nr 19 is funny. *grin*
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 07:47pm on 29/12/2005
Dankeschön, Jules! *knuddel*

Yeah, 19 was completely spontan, the icon was so angsty and while coming up with a text I suddenly thought, she looks look 'What? - Asshole!' and then I thought this was too negative, next thing I knew, Briseis talked about cookies! *silly grin* And there's just something about strong man holding a baby and getting all soft over it, that gets me every time...And I like Diane Krüger, she has such a low-key charisma and well she's beautiful without doubt!
