Here are about 120-130 icons that I made over the past two months. :)

This post contains: lots of Heath Ledger, Atonement, James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Eva Green, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, etc.

PREVIEW:


Well, why don't you? Why don't you just let me be? It's because of you Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothin'... I'm nowhere... )

Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful movie. I feel that it deserved every bit of praise it was given. If you haven't seen it, watch it for its quality as a film, at least. And if you have problems with the gay themes, that's hardly the point or message of the movie. I watched it as two people falling in love and didn't have a problem with it. If you watch it as "the gay cowboy movie," you'll ruin it for yourself. Watch it with an open mind and you'll appreciate it.

But anyways, I made very simplistic icons of the movie because I didn't want to mess with such beautiful caps. Hence the lack of textures, text, and brushes.

Also, I hope I did Heath justice in those icons. I'm kind of glad I took my time making these. I think it would have felt a little bit too rushed and clichéd if I had posted them the day or week after his death. And also, I was still working on them because I am a slow-poke when it comes to creating icons. I miss you Heath.


Hope you like the icons! :)
I'll post these in other communities a little bit later. I have to go practice the piano now...

I apologize for not posting icons in like forever. I seem to do this quite often, and my only excuse is that I'm lazy and it takes me hours to make these posts.
However, I do have about 200 icons, so I have been doing stuff in PS, I just haven't posted it.

So, you probably don't care about long paragraphs that I may write about Harry Potter, Grey's Anatomy, and The Office, so I will put those in the next post. :)

Icons in this post include:
[20] Angelina Jolie
[04] Atonement
[01] Becoming Jane
[05] Brangelina
[04] Emma Watson
[09] Eva Green
[08] Fashion

PREVIEW:


You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.  )

In the future, I will not post such large posts...I will limit myself to 50 icons a post. ;)
But anyways, hope everyone likes the icons!

P.S. You know the usual, but I thought I should just refresh you, because I never post this:
Comments are love.
Please credit me if you use.
No Hotlinking.
P.P.S. If you want a PSD of an icon from this post, just tell me which icon in your post and I will make a PSD and post them for you.

1. PURE BRILLIANCE PART 1.

2. PURE BRILLIANCE PART 2. I think #14 is like my favorite icon right now because it describes my life until I finish HP #7. :)

3. Everyone should watch the preview for Keira Knightley's upcoming movie, Atonement.

some thoughts about the movie and book... )

4. I'm also SO EXCITED FOR HP #7...I can't believe that it's the last one. I don't want it to be...I'm going to be like crying as soon as I finish the book. I've been rereading the whole series in preparation for the seventh book and right now I'm on the 4th one. I hope I can finish #6 in time, lol. ;) The great thing about reading these books after you know what's going to happening is that there are so many clues leading up to the final problem/mystery/whatever. I love looking for the clues while I'm reading.
I'll talk about HP #5 after I have seen it...

5. A little bit about my vacation... )

6. Finally, I have 144 icons for you. I have been making all of these since my last post and some of them I really like and some of them I really don't like. But I will post the crappy icons, in hopes that someone might actually like them. ;)

Here's the list:
[18] Atonement
[23] Emma Watson
[01] Eva Green
[24] Harry Potter (I'll have more next post!)
[35] Julian Casablancas
[14] Keira Knightley (I really don't like these icons.)
[06] Princess Leia
[03] Pirates of the Caribbean
[20] The Strokes
PREVIEWS:


This whole life is it a dream? I can't tell... )

7. You should all listen to THIS SONG.
It could quite possibly the most creative song I have ever heard. Just because I would never think of describing the world we live in with only words that end in I-Z-E.
Here are the lyrics because they are just so awesome.
Plus the song is just really good anyways.

8. I heart [info]nitaface. She was nice enough to share her musical preferences with me and upload lots of good songs for me to listen to. I really like Don't Look Back In To The Sun by the Libertines and Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs (which reminds me, I have been thinking it was Kaiser "Chefs" for the longest time until my brother pointed out to me that it was "Chiefs" not "Chefs"...do not ask me to explain the workings of my brain. LOL) Have a great time in Mexico!

9. The Strokes are really the awesomest thing. :)
If you are scared away by my current obsession for them, rest assured, for I probably won't feel the same way within two or three months. My big, big, big obsessions aren't usually permanent. If they are permanent than I am most likely not that obsessive about them. ;)

10. I have been thinking of doing requests. If you would like to either request a PSD file to an icon or some icons made by me please let me know. I will post all of the PSDs in one post and all of the icons in another.
And also, if you are requesting icons, please do not give me really low-quality pictures because they are hard to work with. I only really work with low-quality pics if I am really desperate for the picture. So medium-quality or high-quality are preferable, but if it is a desperate situation and you absolutely need an icon of that picture, I will gladly oblige. ;)
Oh, and if you have any preferences about your icons, please let me know. :)

11. Finally, I have some wallpapers to post. Well, actually only two. One is an old Grey's Anatomy one and one is a more recent Star Wars one that I made for the contest at
Padme's Wardrobe. If you are a Star Wars fan and you have the time, it would be awesome if you participated.

The Grey's Anatomy one was just made for my desktop, so it's nothing special.

I think that's all for now..........
Hope you all like the icons! And request, request, request. :)

P.S. Here are a few more icons that I made while writing out this post and uploading the icons.

P.P.S. I put up a new little info thing. Recently, I've been putting merely a 300x300 square with 9 of my icons (I've been feeling somewhat lazy recently)...I try to vary the subjects of the icons, but sometimes that can be tricky as many of my good icons may be of the same person or fandom. ;)

1. I got a PRETTY PINK ZUNE people!!! :D
It looks like this.
I really wanted to get an MP3 player and I didn't really want to get an iPod since everyone has those...So I got a Zune and it is really cool. It has a bigger screen than an iPod and you can also send songs to Zunes near yours. It will like check to see if there are any Zunes in the area and than you can like communicate with them and send them songs...It's pretty cool, although I haven't gotten the chance to use that feature yet. And it also has a radio on it, which I probably won't use due to impatience, but it's still pretty cool.
The only problem I've had so far with it is that I'm having trouble converting my movies so that I can get them on my Zune. I will probably just buy a program though so that I can convert my movies over to my Zune.

2. I am going away for like a week on vacation. I'll be back sometime next week, not exactly sure, but I will miss all my buddies on my fl.

3. I have a few icons before I go though:
01-08: Keira Knightley
09-14: Julian Casablancas
15-19: Grey's Anatomy
20-31: Drew Barrymore

PREVIEW:


Seven billion people who got nothing to say... )

Hope you all like the icons! You will definitely be seeing Harry Potter icons in the next batch, along with some more Julian Casablancas... ;)

So, Wednesday was my first day of high school and 9th grade. Um, yeah. ;)
It was pretty good, I got all the teachers I wanted pretty much, and most of them know me because they had either one of my brothers or my sister. I felt like such a horrible NOOB though. It wasn't cool at all! I didn't get lost, but a few times I started to go the wrong way. But it's pretty good though. I think I will eventually enjoy it more. My best friend isn't in any of my classes, but other than that there's not anything else that's really bad. Oh, and miss my buddy Joe, who went to another school.
But anyways, I'm in all Honors classes: Biology, World Studies, Geometry, English and French 2 (which is the highest). Oh, and I'm also in Design 1/Art.
So I'm bound to have a lot more work to do and therefore less time on my computer, but I will make as many icons and update as much as I can.
The end.
Well, of that rant.

Now on to the meme:
So I saw this meme on [info]echoism and I thought it would be fun so I did it. :D

Post 8 icons you made a long, long time ago.
Remake the 8 icons using the same picture and the same text as you used in the old icon. Even the tiny text!
Post the 8 remade icons next to the old ones.
