Fresh Blood Icons

[galathea]

I was in the mood to make some icons, so I sat down and created random icons from 'Fresh Blood'. Enjoy! :)

The caps I used in these icons are from Leggyslove's SN Caps. I used textures from gender and stocks from Stock.Xchng. Feel free to use the icons but please give credit.

Whoa, pretty. The colouring is awesome, Chris, so rich and intense. ♥ They are gorgeous.

I agree the vivid coloring is something else. Hmmm...could be the monitor I'm on but wow! I also love that there is some muted or neutral coloring over the main object in many of them. Very evocative. *heart*

PS My flight went well!

Aww thanks, Jo! *hugs* Heh, initially I wanted to go with natural colours but then my gradients got the better of me! ;) Glad you love the colours.

Thank you, hon! ♥ Well, I always try to use vivid colours, I know though that on flatscreens or laptop monitors the colours always come out paler in comparison to my tube monitor. Cool that you noted the mutedness on some, I work more with multiply and darken lately which mutes the highlights down.

Glad that your flight went well! I hope you and your sister have loads of fun together! *hugs*

Well, you know me - I'm pretty lousy with colouring, probably because I'm too lazy to really try all that hard, and not brave enough to experiment much! So I'm always in absolute awe of what you always seem to pull off with your gradients.

She's at work now so I'm lazing around. Do you know how great that feels to say, and even more, to do?!! XD I dont wanna go home ever. LOL

Well things look beautifully alive regardless. But the mutedness of some objects really works well to that fact. I'm totally in love and inspired! *heart*

ROFL nothing wrong with natural colours, really! Gradients are just very addictive. ;) I on the other hand am not all that original when it comes to cropping icons, you have that down pretty well. ♥

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I know exactly what that feels like, after all I indulged myself in lazing around for quite a while! :D I'm glad you finally get a couple of days just for relaxing and fun, you really, really earned that! *hugs*

Awesome icons, hun! I really love the 'So Reckless' one as well as the last icon. They're really brilliant!

*huggles*

Aww thanks, hon! *hugs* The last one is one of my favourites as well, the fall colours really came out nicely! :)

These are all beautiful. They look very professional, like book covers or stamps or ... I dunno how to explain it better, but they're awesome.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! I am happy you liked the icons! :)

Hey there, this is a really gorgeous set of icons and I rec'd it here (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_impala/105961.html) today. (=

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks so much for the recommendation! I'm happy the icons caught your eye! ;)

Fabulous icons. I love the way you use color. Several are reminiscent of those lurid covers of true-crime books from the 50s - which is very much in keeping with the mood of the show.

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks for the wonderful feedback! *blushes* Colouring is often one the most time consuming parts in any kind of fanart, so positive feedback on it always pleases me greatly! :)

Snagged 15, thank you! These are all fab--great use of text.

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you found something you could use! :)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Me again! I took #11 and #15. Your icons capture the show beautifully.

[galathea-snb.livejournal.com]

Thanks, that's really nice to hear. Enjoy the icons!
