You know your EVIL right?
I was just making SGA icons tonight too! LOL

I took 4, 5 & 8.
#8 is amazing. By far the best one. ;)

Not grabbing any but I just wanted to compliment you on the lovely colouring technique. Is it me or you've really improved since you started? I like your cropping, use of textures and and all the scenes you selected.

Great work!!! :D

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I agree that I've improved a lot since I started making icons --- it's amusing (and a little painful) to go back and see some of the first ones that I made! :)

I love 24. Color and cap are brilliant. Have to see if I'll take some after cleaning out the user pictures.

Wow

[identity profile] meneathiel.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I swear you make the best McKay icons. I love the everything about #6 from the colouring to the crop to the choice of pose. Just amazing. Also to prove I can appreciate non Rodney things, #4 Wow it's beautiful.

I have to know...
Do you just take a million caps of an ep and then sort through and find your icon crops or when you cap do you already know what you are going to use?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Now I feel the urge to start capping and icon-ing. I just got my dvds thursday I have watched Echoes and Tao of Rodney... twice. ;)

[identity profile] kaaatie.livejournal.com 2007-09-25 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! #6 is my favourite too.

To answer your question, I have many many many caps, and then just look through the folder until I find a picture that I think will look good. A lot of the ones from that batch were from the episode promo shots --- they're quite easy to work with because they're good resolution and quality.

The season 3 dvds are released here in Australia tomorrow - I can't wait to get mine!! :)

I like the glowy blues and greens you're using, especially in the first dozen or so. #6 & 8 are adorable. Love the pic choices and cropping, and the boys are adorable in #22. Not too fond of the Sheppard ones this time around, as his face tends to be a little too washed out for my tastes.

Are there any tutorials you've found helpful, or do you just muck around until you find a technique that you like?

Thanks so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it!

I did find a couple of good tutorials when making these. I used the textures in the third icon in this tutorial page (http://community.livejournal.com/zocat_icons/10870.html) for some of them (I find that you always have to change things quite a lot for different screencaps, so its not followed exactly).

I really love the look of these icons. Took 2,6,7, and 8. Will credit when I use.

Those are all great. I quite like 9 and 11. The hues just really strike me. 23 is great too. Good stuff! Taking a few.

I suck at being a critic, but because it's you, I shall try my bestest.

27 - Dude. Duuuuuuuuuude. That one is gorgeous. Whatever you did with the coloring (I told you, I suck at being a critic) makes it look like a painting. Really really purty.

...And that's it. That was my best effort. I can't critique icons ^^; mainly 'cause I've no idea what they mean by coloring, cropping, etc. But hey, they're still gorgeous *drools over John and Rodney* You always have a thing about making them extra pretty in your icons ^.~ Obviously, took a bunch (more like all *falls*), will credit if used!

Omg. So pretty. I really like #1 to #4. They're really bright but not too bright... okay, I can't give proper technical comments on icons. I just know whether I like them or not! *lol*

I really like #6 and #9 too. And #14 and #15. And #17 Yeah, pretty. :)
