black and white

[fantasma-arto.livejournal.com]

I rarely work with no color, especially as of late so I decided to dedicate an entire post to entirely black & white. Which I was inspired to do via iconpraise, here.

I also wanted to work on the pile of screencaps I have had chilling on my hard drive for a while, waiting to be used for something other than challenges.

Beautiful! I love your Sam icons, and I've nabbed the second from end, second to last row, with credit. Thank you for sharing.

I am doing such a crazy, happy dance over here. I love black and white so, so much, and these are incredibly pretty!!

The first Doctor Who icon is, legit out of this world pretty. I love the composition of it so much! Great blending and lovely texture use. The third icon is also really pretty. I love how much contrast you've added, and I love how sharp and clean their outlines are. 22 is also really pretty. The white works really well, and the smoothness of her skin is just right, I think. 26 really slays me though. The lighting work there is just absolutely spot on!

You've done a splendid job! ♥

Ooh these are gorgeous!! Love the grungy texturing on them. The blend on 1 is so stunning and I also adore 2, 4, 11, 17, 26 and 28 particularly much. Fantastic job with the bw, love the contrast in the whole set!

This is an old post but I stumbled upon your comm through the spnnewsletter archive, and I've been looking through your DW and SPN icon sets. I had to comment to say that they're absolutely gorgeous. It's also been interesting to see how your artistic choices/style has changed and evolved. Really, really awesome work! (I've snagged a few from different posts including this one. Will credit!)

Aw thank you so much! :3
