*laughs lots and lots* Watch it, Vic, schoolwork unattended always comes back to haunt us at the end of the semester... +_______+ but I'm so glad you commented here as well!
It amuses me that you should say I don't overload the images, when I think that's precisely what I've been doing *amused* Look at the icon you took, for instance (#3). The little stars/crosses on the bg weren't there, they're brushes, and there's also this big fat border. I've just very recently learned how to make my own brushes and I'm experimenting. But I think I got what you mean and yeah, I do agree. Whilst I think that a little something extra can make the icon really special, I try to keep in mind that it's about the picture I'm using. And since I do the bases myself more often than not, I pay extra attention to that.
I think I'm going back to my Simpler Is Better For Graphics phase. I uploaded a load of icons today for my LJ use and almost to a man (or woman), they were pretty much bases or simplistic iconwhat am I doing talking about me again?
*nods* I can understand that, I quite like what's Simple myself too. It's cleaner and more appeasing to the eye... fewer colours, not too much pollution.
I've always loved Brad (duh)
XD everyone's a potential Brad lover, they just haven't seen the right pic, maybe *winks*
When I watched La Femme Nikita I almost always watched it 'cause of her--I'm not attracted to girls, but she's just neat, and 'sides, I didn't find any of the men on the show lovely enough.
I like Peta a lot. She's very pretty in this not-quite-girly way, and the character was soooo cool! I've also got a thing for her voice, it's interesting to see her interacting with Michael, I think her voice is deeper than his -- can't really know because he never seems to speak, all whispering and half-exasperated 'no, Nikita'.
Ramble all you like! I get enough comments with "I'm taking this, this, that, luv it, will credit". I don't mind them, but you're someone whose thoughts I really like knowing *smiles*
You picked some of my personal favs... Ehehehe. I've even customised a version for myself of Peta's #15, and Brad's #12 is definitely lick-able ;]
