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 emily_reich – it was actually a no-brainer this time!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

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.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Why did I not mention warrior?! Stunning!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Astarte on another note - will you be posting your vids on your lj soon? Just wondering...

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

And why oh why would you be nervous?!

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

lol your English is generally better than mine. Ok when you're feeling less lazy you must post!!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

will there be new ones? :: hopefull::

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Do you fancy a battle soon? I want to start one but I have no idea what...

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yes! Love these!

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

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I know I know!

A Male singer... I would choose James Blunt but you could choose someone else if you wanted. :D

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! I'll post the challenge now. Will you be going first or shall I?

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

Ladies first and I mean you, I will follow your lead like a good slave...

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Ha! I'll make a start later tonight.

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

Alright, can't wait for your first result!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I forgot to mention size. Anything you like! I think I'll do odd sizes this time round..

[charmax.livejournal.com]

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

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

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.

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

When you speak of the devil - Hello Love!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

hello my love... nice shiny things. You must have no life you make hords of these every week. hows the Firefly watching going?

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I was going to say exactly that ^ Xandra! ♥

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

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.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I think this is where I exit. Have fun!

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

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.

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

why don't you ever go on aim, i'm gonna be bored making icons without company *pouts*

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm buying cigarettes now and then I'm going on AIM... Should be only five minutes tops!

[countessmary.livejournal.com]

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.

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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*

[haltlos.livejournal.com]

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*

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

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!
