35 icons for TVRealm Mini Big Bang

[jacquelee]

I’M BACK!! Well, okay, I was never really gone - my challenge and especially icon burnout lasted about 2 minutes, but those were scary minutes, I tell you!
Anyways, here are 35 icons for Babylon 5, Birds of Prey, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who and Farscape.



The goal was to make at least one icon I will use myself for every one of my favourite shows, so I wanted to make a few icons for all of them (went alphabetically there - obviously LOL), but I just learned that I only need 25 icons to complete this challenge, not 50 and I frankly don’t think I can gush out 15 more ‘good’ icons (especially when I have to use textures) in the few hours I have left to work on them till the challenge closes.
Will get to the other shows in due time.

Also, I can’t believe how much my icons are improving in this short time (still not a month since I got PS Elements). Especially because I always feel like they’re not improving at all, but then I look at those I made just a week ago and go ‘crap, I made THAT?’. LOL Now most of them still suck but I think I succeeded in my goal to have at least one useable icon per show. :)

A/N: I made the Buffy set with john_scorpy in mind, but sadly it contains a few spoilers, hope you don’t mind. ;)

Prompt used for all of these : The beautiful Textures Waves collide by ladykillers.

Thank you very much!

Wow, so much feedback! :D
You actually mentioned a few here I wasn't sure about at all, and Hope wasn't on my fav list at all (though I see what you mean, I should REALLY concentrate on contrast, coloring and lighting instead of trying fancy texture and artsy things all the time lol).
Valen was at the top on that list of icons I wasn't sure about, made that very early (I think it was even the first one), and though I do like it, I thought it was pretty boring. But your right, the mask is pretty good (if I may say so myself, my masking improved A LOT with the new program), and that texture bleed through effect is fast becoming my favorite.

Also River was a pain in the eema. First time I tried to cut together more than one image and it was so hard. But it's definitely a technique I would like to pursue.

And with Lips and Tongue I tried that 'coloring huge bits of the icon in a specific color' thing the first time. Glad you liked it!

Also, I'm glad that you liked Fantasy and Feisty, those are the ones I thought you'd probably like best. ;) And yes, I LOVE her in Feisty too, she's SOOOO cute! That whole scene is fantastic (Fantasy is from the same scene), and definitely very iconable.

Thanks again for your feedback and I'll get back to you regarding Giles icons (just made 5 but they're all from the same cap - I LOVE experimenting LOL).
