Fifty assorted classic film icons

[jordannamorgan]

Well, here it is--the whole heap of general icons I turned out during the month of March. Some of these will have been seen as entries in icontests such as classicicontest or classics_stills--but the majority of them are completely new.

*squee*! Yay for shiny pictures of all sorts of marvelous peoples! :D

Snagging 1, 10, 13, 15, and 32 (aaaawwww, Sad!Danny!0 Thanks, Jordi :D

[jordannamorgan]

Thanks! :D And as a matter of fact, I think #15 is the best Bogie icon I've ever made. *g*

(Scuttling over to the RPGs now... I had to do annoying admin-type stuff with Classic Icontest. :Þ )

[nuranar.livejournal.com]

WHOA these are fantastic! Comments for a few in particular, and I'll probably be snagging just about everything to rotate around at certain points. *g*

(By the way, I think Nos. 44-46 are scrambled a little in your key. I just *knew* that 44 was Boris and not Bela, but your key said otherwise! My brain was scrambled until I continued. :p)

01 - Haha!

07 - My favorite of all the Irish ones. I love that eyebrow!

10 - Awwwwwwwww......!

13 - Isn't that line from Page Miss Glory? The brothers insisted on watching something last night, and that's what was in the lineup. We're halfway through. *g* Either way, *great* icon.

14 - HA!!

15 - Perfect!

21 - Honest and sweet. :)

22, 23 - So beautiful.

26 - Possibly my favorite of the Presidential set!

28 - Reminds me of 21. *warm fuzzies*

31 - Probably one of the scariest faces I've seen him make yet. *g*

33 - Awwwww. Nice cap and collar, too.

38 - I really liked this one on classicicontest; reminds me of the Scarlet Pimpernel. I don't know if the ring's in the movie, but it evokes that even more for me.

43 - Haha!

48 - Never would've thought of that - but fun!


Comments for a few? I say, 'a few'!

[jordannamorgan]

Argh. Yes, I forgot to reorder a couple of them, but I've fixed that now. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Yes, the caption on #13 is from "Page Miss Glory". Frank is just as cute and hilarious in that film as any human being can possibly be. *g*

#26 is my favorite of the presidential series, too. I was worried it would be hard to tell what the inset is in #28; I'm not good with combining images in icons.

You can probably recognize the different groups of variations on themes, where I was attempting to produce just the right Classic Icontest entries. The Bogie/Bacall, Danny, and Harold Lloyd icons were entries at classics_stills (none of which enjoyed any success, as tastes over there run to weirdly-cropped, grungy, scratchy styles). The images are chosen by that community's moderator--otherwise I would have used vastly better pictures of Danny.

I took a bunch and will credit (:

[jordannamorgan]

Thanks much! :)

I'm late on the uptake, here! I let some amazing Harold Lloyd icons sneak under my nose??? These are great! :D I took a whole bunch all around.

[jordannamorgan]

Thanks! :)

[grimm-tales.livejournal.com]

These are great! I've saved #'s: 20, 44, 46, & 47. Will credit when used. Thank you!

[jordannamorgan]

Thanks!

[grimm-tales.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. =) I just had to come back here and tell you I love your user icon! Awesome!

[ieatedyourcooki.livejournal.com]

I took 44, but I'm still searching your journal for that "read" icon with beast you posted with once. ^_^

[jordannamorgan]

Hello!

I tried to reply to the personal message you sent me, but for some reason, I could only get a "could not send" error.

In any event--yes, you may use the two icons of mine that you referred to. It's true that they are "personal" icons, but in many cases, I'm quite willing to share when asked. :) (And I've been thinking about making myself new versions of those two anyway. *g*)

[ieatedyourcooki.livejournal.com]

Oh, Thank you! ^_^ I'd be more than willing to help if you wanted. I recently got photoshop, but have been using Paint.Net and thought about making icons.

[ladynazgul2211.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh, oh! Love the Drac ones. Took a couple and will credit when I use them. :D

[brotherskeeper1.livejournal.com]

I saved #44 with credit ... you have truly put new life into these old b&w pics. Thank you :)
