Icons

Here are some icons I did for a recent challenge (cat, John Sheppard, Avon), plus a couple of Pretender ones (Sydney and Miss Parker). Please comment and credit if you take. If you'd like text, I'd be happy to add some.

The cat BTW is not my late Tessa, but a chocolate Burmese I found online. Jasmin will eventually have a similar colour (chocolate points and a cafe au lait body).

Lovely... :)

From you, that's praise indeed. :-) Thanks!

I keep intending to make some icons from my artwork.

Very nice. Is it my imagination, or does Miss Parker look rather like the young Diana Rigg?

She reminds me of a meaner version of Emma Peel all the time! She even had a white tunic on recently which looked very Emma. Apart from the miniskirts and the cigarettes, she dresses in style. Have a look at this site (http://www.geocities.com/macguyveri/pretender/english_pretenderfotogal02.html). :-) I think they even styled her hair flipped up to look like Mrs Peel--and maybe that's why she's always Miss Parker.

These two shots are very Mrs Peel:

Thanks. Those excellent pictures have got me wondering whether I should try to find a way of watching The Pretender.

Nice pics! Chocolate and cafe au lait - Jasmin sounds yummy!:-)

I am thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend it. I'm way behind [livejournal.com profile] redstarrobot and [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2 though.

That site has pictures of the others if you click on 'next' and 'back' at the bottom.

And caramel eyes! :-) She really is a little sweetie.

I have yet to get a photo of her that I can make into an icon.

I am sure it will make me lick the screen! :-)

You just reminded me of how much I loved The Pretender! Miss Parker, couldn't quite love her, but couldn't quite hate her.

Oh, these are nice! And I don't think it's just the current depths of my obsession speaking when I say that the Pretender ones are particularly lovely. Aww, Laughing Sydney does funny things to my insides. (The poor guy doesn't have nearly enough reasons to laugh.)

Join us! Join us! :)

These are lovely! I particularly like the Avon. :)

I love Sydney's smile.

These are all lovely, but I especially like the background on the first three, and the kitty is my favourite.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
She's a great character. I've only seen 8 eps so far, but although I wouldn't like her in RL, I'm beginning to feel sorry for her. She's as damaged and deprived as Jarod in her way.

Nice icons! The last but one - I don't know the fandom, but I love the icon. Great smile.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't! I found a rather nice site with photos of them all, so I may make some more TP icons.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I was quite pleased with him too. I may yet keep him. :-)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, another TP fan! I've only seen 8 eps so far, but I'm loving it, especially the backstory arc.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
The challenge was for cutting out the background and adding a new one, so thanks! :-D

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's tragic Sydney who rarely smiles and I don't think I've seen him laugh, but I couldn't resist. He's a wonderful character, as is Parker.

[identity profile] pet-lunatic.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds intriguing!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2008-10-31 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] redstarrobot discovered it recently, and her comments seduced me and [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2 into watching. It really in an intriguing show. There's a self-contained A plot every week in which Jarod, the pretender, takes another role on and exacts justice--and revenge--for crimes, plus the ongoing B arc with the Centre and the mysterious people who work there. Jarod sees things in black and white, but Sydney and Parker are much more grey. I'm 8 eps in and loving it!

It sounds pretty good, I might have to look into that! :)
