January Classic Icons

[jordannamorgan]

My goodness, what a month. *g* Minus all the Cagneyness I've already posted, here is January's icon haul. Fifty-five icons, starring:

Katharine Hepburn [11]; Norma Shearer [8]; Charlie Chaplin [7]; Doris Day [6]; William Powell [6]; Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall [4]; Rudolph Valentino [4]; Sidney Poitier [3]; Greer Garson [3]; Rita Hayworth [2]; and Red Skelton [1].

Description and Comments:

01-11: Katharine Hepburn. These were actually spread out over two challenges. #1 took first place in a "color red" challenge, and #2 won second place in a challenge based on Hepburn herself. Both challenges were at classicicontest.

12-19: Norma Shearer. I'm exceedingly pleased with most of these. #14 won mod's choice at classics_stills.

20-26: Charlie Chaplin. #21 won second place at silver_lims (in a preliminary challenge, not an actual LIMS round).

27-32: Doris Day. #27 and #28 respectively won first and second place awards at classicicontest.

33-38: William Powell. #35 won second place at classicicontest. (And I heartily apologize for #38, which is absolutely hideous.)

39-42: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. In fact, these icons were made as usage examples for a texture set I created. That's why they're very simple, but perhaps they're still of some interest.

43-46: Rudolph Valentino. Not very inspired, but #43 still managed to win a mod's choice award at silver_stills.

47-49: Sidney Poitier. #47 won second place at classicicontest.

50-52: Greer Garson. Three more icons made as usage examples for another texture set.

53-54: Rita Hayworth. #50 won third place at silver_stills.

55: Red Skelton. A prospective icon for the color red challenge that I soundly disliked and rejected--but anyway, there it is.


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.)


Greta Garbo fans should have a treat next month, if not sooner--because if I keep up this pace, I'll have to unload my icons more often! And for the X-Men fans, I'll probably go ahead and dispense with a Xavier-Magneto set within a week or so, when the challenge concludes.

Yay for Greer Garson icons! Now I'd love to see Ronald Colman! O_O

Seriously, seriously gorgeous.

[jordannamorgan]

There will be several more (and much better) Greer Garson icons upcoming. :)

Ronald Colman is one the classicicontest schedule... for December. :Þ Hopefully I'll find the time for "Tale of Two Cities" icons before that!

The Garbo icons will soon be up for voting in an icon challenge, so I'll be posting them after the results of that are in. Hopefully one of them will chalk up another placing. *g*

[normaltrouble.livejournal.com]

Your style is gorgeous!

I come from retro icons, by the way...
Thanks and will credit.

I especially love the ones I took, 1,14,15,24,22,28.

The Norma Shearer ones are way outside the ballpark, amazing, especially the sparkle one and I am not a sparkly person, really! ;)
Also, the 1st Hepburn is marvelous, and the Chaplin War one is one of the best Chaplins I've seen.

[jordannamorgan]

Thank you very much for the compliments! Glad you enjoyed the icons! :)
