Every post contains specifics about the set of graphics I've shared in that note.
All the same, I thought it was best that I included some general rules up here.
As such, I won't have to specify so many in each individual note. =P



1. Always comment if you're taking something.
-x. I'm not going to scream and yell if you don't credit me wherever you use it, though the act is always appreciated. Just so long as you comment on that entry, I'll be sufficiently happy.
2. Request? Just ask!
-x. Seriously. Want your name on that header? Wallpaper doesn't quite fit on your screen? I usually make things one or two sizes to begin with, but I do live to please. Just comment asking nicely, and I'll gladly supply you with a goody of your own size specifications, or with your name/lj url. I'm also happy to remove any text you don't want.
3. Don't edit it.
-x.I will give you permission on some images to add your own name, or to use icons as bases. But if I don't note that you may edit them, then don't. As previously stated, I'm always happy to add your name/lj url if you'd like.
4. Never claim my work as your own.
-x. I shouldn't even have to say this. I mean, who would want to? D'oh. If I find you, I WILL track you down. In fact, I have creepy-scary friends who would do it for me. *threatening glare*
And last but definitely not least...
5. Never, ever, EVER direct link.
-x.Just don't. I have a certain amount of photobucket bandwidth I can use just like you, and when it's gone it's gone. I'm not upgrading my account because goofballs who can't just create their own free account somewhere direct link and waste my bandwidth.

So if I get like, awards and things like that, they go here. Yaaaaay. And I definitely mean "dump" in the absolute most loving way available.

PREVIEW


( just a few more, meh. )

I stole this from lissie_pissie... she did this a while back for Lisa Edelstein, and I'm going to do it for Sandy B. You know. The one who disappeared for two years, and has just recently returned to brighten our television viewing experience? ;) Yeah. That one.

Now this was really hard. My "favorites" change daily, because every day I find more gorgeous pictures of her. It's difficult to choose between them. But because she's been doing so much lately, you'll find that three or four are very new. All the same... I went overboard and did twenty, and gosh darnit they are all gorgeous. Maybe you've never seen some of them. They're not in any particular order, because I couldn't possibly rank them all. You'll see what I mean.

Think of your favorite celebrity, the one who makes music sound better, movies and television brighter, the one you'd dash to the ends of the earth for if it meant you could save yourself from ever having to go a second without their magic. Then post your favorite 10-15 photos of him/her! Your favorites of your favorite.

This is what happens when I get too bored... as you probably well know, if you've seen any of my other icon posts. This is a huge batch of Sandra Bullock crops consisting of 87 bases. You may use them as blanks for your playbys. You may use them as bases to edit. Comment if you take them, credit if you use my crops. Upload to your own server - do not hotlink, PLEASE.

The first three are actually edited. They should NOT be used as bases. Everything else is... well, free-for-all, I guess. Have fun.

Total Icon Count: 90

Teasers:

( Icons Here! )

Boredom once again leads me to crop out some bases, especially from some images that just aren't good for other photoshopping on account of their size or whatever. SO. This time, the unlucky victim is Javier Bardem. Feel free to use these as bases if you like, or as playby images, whatever. I'm not picky.

As usual, comment, credit, do not hotlink. Upload them to your own server, PLEASE.

Hello, Eric Bana.

I'm going to have to do some actual iconing for this guy, because he has such great pictures. This felt like a discredit to his photos. For now, 36 bases.

Just... thoughts. I need to vent...ish. Sort of. IDK.

( SERIOUS spoilers for House season 5 finale... )

That's right; and I actually DID SOMETHING with most of these icons! Other than just... cropping them out and maybe adjusting the curves and color and stuff.

I took some photos a LONG time ago that I have decided to supply as textures. They are of a campfire (flame), as well as the craziness of a light-up Frisbee and twirling burning twigs. xP

I'm not going to zip these or anything, because I personally just prefer to download individual files based on the ones I like or don't like.

I may be slightly obsessed. But... well, that's just not the point. The point is, there are 52 icons here for you to use for playbys or whatever. They're just bases. I...don't think I even edited these... no, there are some that I did change the color balance on. You'll be able to tell which. But really, I don't consider that work; so feel free to use them as bases if you like. Just comment if you're taking them, and I do appreciate credit.

There are about a billion crops of each (not), so I hope you find a crop you like!

WALL HALLO THARR! Long time no post. I bring wallpapers of the lovely Lisa Edelstein once more, used with the recently released season 5 pics (where she's wearing the same thing as the season 4 promo? o.O)

The wallpapers should be in sizes for most monitors at this point. Want a different size? Just ask. I'd be glad to resize it again for you!

Comment if you're using it, and for goodness' sake don't claim it as yours! That would make me emo inside. Dx

Subject: V for Vendetta: General Film
Batch: Batch #7; Icons 073-100
Themes: A Dreamer's Dream, Colorful, Brightness, All is Right, Soul Food, Joy, I've Been Bad, Fury, 20x Artist's Choice
Additonal Notes: Comment if using, credit is much appreciated, NEVER hotlink; Screencaps by spikesbint, Textures by various people over at Texturize (want to know specifics, I'll tell you who).
Finally FINISHED. And very proud of myself. =)

( Verily this vichyssoise verbage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me 'V' )

Jared Padalecki & Paul Walker; 10 Jared, 8 Paul

( You'll just have to click, 'cause I'm too lazy to do a preview )

Gah, I have such issues. I keep taking one image and cropping about 20 icons out of it. Okay, I lie. I did 10 icons out of one Lisa Edelstein a while back, and the worst one here is 8 icons out of the same image. No, wrong, it's 11. New record, yay! They're all very different though! Anyway, the point?

56 Icons
[01-18] Laura Michelle Kelly
[19-48] Bethany Joy Galeotti (Lenz)
[49-52] Sela Ward
[53-56] Joaquin Phoenix

Oh yeah, and since all I did was change the contrast, curves, maybe a little colour on these? You get to use them as bases. Aren't I nice?

Both. Is that a logical choice? I mean, I know the question was to choose one or the other, but really now. How do you choose?

I suppose the proper, detailed response is:

If the choice is between the mountains, and a populated oceanfront area, I'll take the mountains any time. But if given the opportunity to live in a fairly unpopulated oceanic area, I suppose I would take it. The smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves, and a good sunrise or sunset over the water and a clear view of the stars at night are a few things I'd love to have every day. But I'd have to make frequent trips to the nearest mountainous campsite, to lay beneath the stars amidst the trees.
