icons by julie

When I first saw photos of him in those glasses, I decided oh my god I absolutely have to icon him in this movie. Now, five years later, I finally have!! I was really wondering why in the world no one else had done it yet, since it's gorgeous and he's gorgeous... but after wrestling with Fincher's shadows & yellow-black & green-blue cinematography, I think I get it. Hopefully these are still good idk.

MY LOVE CONTINUES. igpayatinlay is a treasure for handing me these screencaps and letting me icon them for her. ♥ Some wrestling with lighting was necessary.

This is not his best look, but I'm still weirdly into it. Plus, the canonical description of Eric entails long greasy black hair, and people on tumblr had photoshopped weird lank wigs onto him, so like... it could have been worse. Absolutely love his performance as Eric the Cheery Psychopath.

ps. Jai's arms deserve separate billing all on their own.

I've mined a ridiculous amount of Dichen screencaps -- why has no one else iconed her outside of Dollhouse much?? I'm not complaining though, since now I get to! -- and I am. Just. So in love with her. I will watch anything she is in. (& again, I feel like I'm still working out the kinks of my new laptop screen and its sharpening, so apologies if these are under- or over-sharpened, I DUNNO.)

I have a bad habit of making icons for myself or friends and then never posting them! So I'm gonna toss up a few sets now, especially since they're my first public ones since getting a new laptop (you don't even know how fretty and neurotic I've been about the new monitor and how different I feel like my icons look now, please bear with me if you think they're shitty now idk dklgjdalkjgøl).

These were for headgirl, from The Age of Adaline when she's in period clothing -- no screencaps yet, all from stills and set photos!

Beautiful, beautiful screencaps provided by -- & icons thus made for -- starbuck. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY/FUN TO MAKE SETS I'VE EVER MADE. Her hair is fucking hypnotic.

His face makes the best expressions, oh my god. And I'm tempted to make 3 more just so it'll hit a nice, round 500. kladjgøladkfgkljd. THERE WEREN'T ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH NON-TSN ARMIE HAMMER ICONS SO I DECIDED TO MAKE THEM. ALL OF THEM. Okay? Okay.

And for good measure: rewinding even further to Coyote Ugly, when I think she was like 23-24. I thought this set would be so shitty, but I'm actually really happy with it. And seriously how is her hair so fucking beautiful??

UGH PIPER I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO PB HER FOR SOOOO MANY YEARS, & NOW I FINALLY CAN. :> I loooooove her and I needed younger icons for an early 20s character, but she's like 36 this year. Hence: rewinding time to Cheaper by the Dozen!

Once upon a time, I promised jonquilles to icon the lovely Kelly Reilly -- better late than never, I suppose, although I'm defs planning on making more sometime. I freaking love her look here -- such bouncy hair! so pretty! Though I eventually reached a point where I was like "Okay, the characters are now officially too grimy and covered in blood for PB use, I am going to stop taking screencaps." It was at the exact point when she popped out of a muddy, trash-filled dumpster.

As for Eden Lake -- it's ridiculous how often I talk about this movie, because I simultaneously 1) really like it, and 2) fucking hate it. It has a message and a point behind its violence which I found fascinating, but it's still so utterly gruesome that I would never, ever rewatch it. The main character's resourcefulness & ingenuity & perseverance doesn't help a single whit and MORE FUCKING ATROCITIES!!! keep happening to her. idk, my psyche just couldn't handle it. Yet I keep bringing up Eden Lake and talking about it as such a well-done example of the torture porn genre, but I'm not sure if I would ever recommend it to someone, because I really seriously Did Not Enjoy Myself while watching it. Disturbing, horrifying, really well-done -- but it made my gut churn, and normally I consider myself fairly lead-bellied.

As an aside, considering the dirty-grimy-bloody icons later on in this set, I'm thinking she could work for PBing the ghost of a murder victim. OR SOMETHING. ugh I don't know. this movie.

What do I do when my internet goes down? I icon. Dedicated to walburga, who was dear enough to send me her blu-ray caps! & I may or may not be planning to become the queen of modern-day NCW icons, js.
