Icons by NeekerBreeker

I'm taking a break from working on my crimedrama100 challenge and posting some art icons. I did very little to pretty these up - it's all the work of the original artists. If you want to be polite and receive a nice dose of good karma, credit them in the keywords.

There are less Tony DiTerlizzi icons because his art is more difficult to find online. I may make some more when I get a working scanner again...

TE AS ER

( You may recognise several familiar characters among these. )

I needed a good excuse to iconate Oz, so I signed up for crimedrama100. What an appropriate comm for this set, no? If you've never watched Oz, seriously, do it. It's one of the best drama series ever.

Here there be spoilers.

TE AS ER

( The name on the street for Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. )

I'm a big fan of Don Bluth cartoons, but I have to say, I think the sequel to An American Tail is almost better than the original. It's funnier and has some great songs (including one from Blues Brothers!), and I'm usually a tough sell on both. In the original dub, there's also John Cleese as the main baddie cat doing a smashing job, and James Stewart as the sheriff in his last ever film role. I love the Finnish dub, though; it's what I grew up with. ;)

TE AS ER

( Dancing buffalo bones. Nah... )

What is it with me and FFX? I can't seem to stop iconing it. Anyway, most of these FFX icons are made from doujinshi pics found floating around the intarwebs. If I knew who originally drew them, I'd credit. Do let me know if you happen to recognise any of these (especially that one with Rikku and Malboro tentapr0n. I need it for... science).

Oh, and some Yami no Matsuei icons, too. Mostly cracky, all from the manga.

[16] Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness)
[6] Final Fantasy X & X-2 (5 doujinshi, 1 actual game)

( I will firmly deny ever fangirling YnM if questioned. )

I have much nostalgic love for Campbell's Who Goes There?, which I read at a much too early age and which gave me a serious UFO phobia that only extensive X-Files therapy could cure. John Carpenter's The Thing, for all its gore, is a pretty accurate adaptation, in my opinion. The paranoia, the darkness, the bleakness; it's all there. Not even Kurt Russell's unnatural amount of facial hair can pierce the harrowing atmosphere.

So here we go, a big batch of The Thing icons. Beware of smart-assness. And beware of spoilers, too, I guess, if you haven't seen this classic, you heathen.

( First goddamn week of winter. )

I'm back after a long hiatus! Well, longish. I moved and had computer trouble, but my iconing fingers are itchy, so you should see lots of updates here in the coming months...

Let's start off with this batch of Poirot icons. I'm a big fan of the series - can't wait to see Suchet in Murder on the Orient Express later this year! These icons are all from Five Little Pigs, partly because it includes the terrific Rachael Stirling. Then again, it's Poirot - all ladies are either beautiful or tragic, or both.

[55] Agatha Christie's Poirot (Five Little Pigs)

TE AS ER

( Secrets and lies, monsieur... )

Here's my second challenge for fantasy100: Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings. I mostly use LotR movie screenshots in these. Throw all good taste out of the window and jump on in!

TE AS ER

( Lower Middle Earth beckons... )

All done! Finally managed to finish my Brotherhood of the Wolf challenge for fantasy100. It's funny how long it sat there with only a few icons missing... That's how iconing mood goes.

TE AS ER

( Follow the white wolf... )

All right, while I finish my both (!) challenges for fantasy100, I'll just post all the miscellaneous icons I've made and haven't got around to posting yet.

[4] P-funk
[4] Cats
[12] Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Once More With Feeling)

TE AS ER

( Why don't we dance a while? )

This time, icons from my favourite Pedro Almodóvar film. I think I'm starting to get used to making textless icons; the faces tell the whole story in most of these.

[36] All About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre)


TE AS ER

( Women will do anything to avoid being alone. )

In order to celebrate the unveiling of the long-awaited Fallout 3 trailer, I made 30 Fallout icons. Almost all are from Fallout 2, because that's the one I like and have played the most.

I also made some tabletop RPG icons, because they're few and far between. Most have something to do with Dungeons & Dragons, because it gives such ample opportunities to fondly mock the geek culture.

[30] Fallout

TE AS ER

( It's always 1998 in Koicons! )

Just half a dozen icons this time. I was making an inside joke icon for our RPG group (this one), and ended up making more general icons from Tove Jansson's illustrations, because she rocks the good stuff.

[6] Tove Jansson's Moomin books

TE AS ER

( Groke is the best children's book baddie ever. )

More kitty icons! And even more are on their way. My lame excuse is that I just can't get enough of cats.

Also, some Kingdom Hearts icons - mostly from Skies of Memory, because it made KH1 so much better for me. Here's hoping I'll get my hands on KH2 at some point in the near future, too... No spoilers here.

[9] Cats
[4] Kingdom Hearts - Skies of Memory
[1] Kingdom Hearts 1

TE AS ER

( Flower lasers. Honestly. )

And here we go, Mimi wo Sumaseba icons. It's a lovely, lovely Ghibli film that is criminally unappreciated; go find it and watch it for great squishyness!

I don't usually make textless icons, but this time there were so many that I decided to put them in their own table. I've gone through about half of the bases I made, so watch this space for more. Unless I get sick of the Japanese version of Country Roads. Mind, after hearing it about 50 times in as many hours and still finding it adorable, it's not really likely.

[17] Regular icons
[38] Textless (use as bases if you like; credit me if you want to be polite, though!)

TE AS ER

( Take me home, country roads... )

Big icon post this time! And I'm going to make another post for the even bigger pile of Mimi wo Sumaseba icons. Hold on to your pantaloons.

[14] Lost (mostly from 3x06, so beware of spoilers!)
[6] Final Fantasy X
[7] Black Books (mostly from the first season Outtakes)

TE AS ER

( HERE THAR B POLAR BEARS )

I'm almost ashamed to post these, as I did very little to prettify these icons. They're just beautiful pictures I found and decided to turn into icons.

[12] Miscellaneous (music, books)

TE AS ER

( It's Lazy Day in Koicons... )

Kitty-cat icons! Pictures snagged from all over the internet. I tried to use pictures that haven't been included in too many macros as of yet...

Oh, and I also made some LotR icons of screencaps I took while making this icon. They're all from the same scene - I think that one Pippin picture was from a bit earlier in the film, though...

[17] Cats
[5] LotR (Return of the King)

TE AS ER

( It's true what they say: everything is best said with cats. )

Oh lookie, I managed to finish that FFX icon alphabet after all.

Cross-posted to abc_icons, naturally.

TE AS ER

( Touch Sin! )

Some more FFX and FFX-2 icons, as well as Lost icons, are on their way!

No new icons this time, I just wanted to let you know that all my icons are neatly arranged in tables now, thanks to this extremely nifty icon table generator.

I did join abc_icons, though, and as soon as they approve my claim, will finish the FFX alphabet set. Other FFX icons are also on their way. God, I really need a PS2...

I'm really determined to kick some life into this iconjournal of mine, so here are my old Bioware icons. No new stuff here at all, I'm afraid - every icon has been posted in my journal before. Still, they've never all cuddled close like this! Oh, and some of them are older than the others, so the quality might do the odd hop and plummet.

Spoilers, spoilers, all around!

[11] Jade Empire
[22] Knights of the Old Republic I & II

TE AS ER

( There would be more JE icons if the screenshots were any easier to make... )

Yayz, a functioning graphic program! Since my computer has risen from the ashes, I'm going to celebrate by finally posting some FFX icons here. Some new, some old.

Oh, and random spoilers all around, in case someone needs the warning.

[20] Final Fantasy X
[9] Final Fantasy X-2

TE AS ER

( Let's blitz, ya? )

All right, I think I've sat on these for long enough... Behold, the icons I made this summer.

[7] Strange Days
[6] LotR doujinshi
[2] The X-Files (Bad Blood)
[11] Monty Python
[2] Noir
[2] Tenryu
[2] Love & Rockets

TE AS ER

( Turn my dreams into the real thing... )

These have all been posted to my journal, except #11. Spoilers for the ending of the movie under the cut!

TE AS ER

( Put a potato on a string and drag it through South Boston! )

Finally, got around to posting these!

Eight new FAKE icons, made of screenshots of the OAV, and ten Plunkett and Macleane icons I've posted on my LJ. If you haven't seen the latter, I highly recommend it - brilliant actors (Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller), quirky music, and it's just fun all around. (Slashable, too, but the fandom is woefully small.)

TE AS ER

( New icon, meet old icon... )

Guess my favourite mangaka!

Most of these have been posted to my LJ, and some are quite old, but I'm collecting them here. The Drake/JJ icons have also been posted to the shrine, Heaven Felt Insane. #33-#40 are remakes of old icons that I haven't posted anywhere else yet.

TE AS ER

( And the gayest precinct in New York City is... )

TE AS ER

( These are pretty much all slashy. I make no apologies... )

Okay, to kick off the community and test how it looks and works, here are some Tenryu icons. I originally meant to somehow work each dragon king's picture in the icon, too, but I think they actually work better with just the dragons and the element they represent.

I'm not altogether happy with how #5 turned up, but I like the colours...
