x_men_stills and xmen_icontest):
01: 1st place (X-Men Stills: lens flares)
03: 3rd place (X-Men Icontest: black and white)
06: Mod's Choice (X-Men Stills: lens flares)
07: 2nd place (X-Men Stills: Storm & Nightcrawler)
16: 1st Place (X-Men Stills: Pressure Suit lyrics)
Commentary:
* Icons numbered 1, 2, 6, 10, 12, 18, 19, 24, and 28 were made for a challenge in which "lens flare" light textures were required. I came to like the effect quite a bit--as you may have noticed in other icons I've posted this month.
* Icons 3 and 13 were for a black-and-white challenge. The first one was my immediate inspiration (and I rather think it fooled the membership of comics-centric X-Men Icontest into thinking it wasn't a movieverse image!). The second was a last-minute entry.
* Icons 4, 16, and 17 feature the lyrics to "Pressure Suit" by Aqualung--part of my first challenge posted as a co-mod atx_men_stills. I'm rather disappointed with them; I love the song and really wanted to create something more for its imagery, but inspiration was apparently not with me. (14 and 15 were created at the same time, but they did not become entries.)
* Icons 5 and 20-23 were created for a "letter B" challenge. As is typical at X-Men Icontest, the three I submitted lost out to comics-based icons. Trying to enter movieverse icons there is an automatic handicap; that's why I vastly prefer X-Men Stills. In any case, I do always enjoy making fun ofCyclops Jr. Bobby.
* Icons 7-9 and 11 were for a Storm/Nightcrawler challenge, which was the other half of my first XMS challenge. I'm an unabashed Kuroro shipper (I own the fanlisting), so this was my choice for a sort of self-introduction.
* Icons 25-27 were for a "powers" challenge. I had to work with the images provided--which I never like doing--so I'm not too thrilled with them.
If you enjoy my work and would like to show appreciation for it, I welcome tips in the form of Dreamwidth Points. (Enter my username "jordannamorgan" as the account you're buying for.)
