Hullo ^___^ Most of the material on this post concerns



Today's been by far too lazy.. (so much more than it should have, considering I have this huge frightening test on Tuesday >.< ) Among other things, I've tried [livejournal.com profile] killthwight's patience *winks* and made the latest half of my batch of Nicole Kidman icons. I own the idea entirely to Lilith, who pointed me to a collage featuring Nic a few days ago. I started looking up pics, and if we're lucky enough, [livejournal.com profile] killthwight will be making Kidman icons too!!

EDIT: Check out Lilith's Pride and Prejudice icons. I can't find the right words to thank her for gifting me with the brilliant book, and she's outdone herself with the new layout and this fabulously clever, witty and artsy set of icons!

I really admire this woman. She's a brilliant actress who possesses talent and beauty to measure, and, what's more admirable, discerniment. I know not much of her personal life, but from the roles she accepts and the way she chooses to go about them, it becomes rather obvious that Nicole is a very intelligent woman who dares to investigate the human soul, alternating instigating films with the good ol' romantic heroine parts. Birth (2004), Dogville (2003), Cold Mountain (2003), Birthday Girl (2002), Moulin Rouge (2000) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999) are among some of my favourites. I didn't quite get The Human Stain, and am too chicken to watch The Hours, as it is. But I think I can safely vouch for Nicole Kidman's work.

As on my latest icon-batches, I've tried to use mostly pictures from magazines and photoshoots. There are lots of Vogue, Vanity Fair and even some Rolling Stone pictures behind the bases. Differently from the people I've last iconised, Nicole isn't anything approaching sporty (appearance, not personality-wise; I wouldn't know). Her beauty is rather old-fashioned, somewhat resembling of Jodie Foster at times. She looks very aristocratic and elegant. Contrary to my previous works, too, she wasn't in the least bit easy to iconise. I struggled with nearly all pictures until I could draw a significant message from them. I hope you enjoy these. =] Teasers:

Nope, I shall never swear to kick your arse, no matter what XD

Ohhh, and pretty icons! Many pretty icons! Dear, these are absolutely beautiful, and as I told you before, they reflect how stylish Kidman is. #3 is soooo luxurious! #6 is a special favourite, as is #15. They are gorgeous, and you shouldn't worry about not reflecting her--you did it perfectly well!

And thanks for the rec and the flattering comments!

Unsurprisingly, I love them all :). Especially #25 - the colours are so very rich and I adore the words. #24 is great, too, I really like this faded-photograph-style. #17 is veeery artsy, pink is not really my colour but the framing of this icon is amazing. No need to mention that I'm not even a big fan of Kidman but I love her in your work.

it's taken me so impossibly long to get back to you!! I'm so sorry!!!

aye, #25 has got to be one of my personal favs ;] I wonder if that has something to do with me being a complete snob... The pic for #24 made me drool incessantly, I think it's from a Vogue photoshoot. I wish someday I could witness one of those sessions.

*hugs lots* thank you, darling. You really flatter me. Kidman is very beautiful, this artsy, refined-looking lady.

Here via [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I adore NK. She reminds me of Katherine Hepburn in her style. These are fantastic. Taking 15 with credit, thanks.

Nic is indeed stylish... I guess the word for her is 'classic'. :) Ooh you snagged my personal fav out of the batch, I think we have similar tastes. Thanks for letting me know!
