a murder of crows -- icons

My love song for Eva continues with an exquisitely pretty and strange movie which I nonetheless loved and watched twice. I just wish it wasn't so blue.

BRB doing my part to help alleviate the dearth of Baker icons out there. These are from two hi-def episodes of The Mentalist, since I was silly and forgot the rest of them on my flashdrive at work. :{ Either way, I love him so much. He has one of those strange faces which is so classically handsome, but definitely looks better in motion than in still pictures. It's odd. but ilhim.

It's really hard to get back onto the iconing bandwagon after an extended hiatus, but I'm still workin' on it; it results in like, flailing over your own style and wondering if it's atrophied to shit while you've been away. I can't decide if I want to go the route of medium contrast and clear sharpening, or high contrast and softer lines, so instead I go for some horrific in-between. I can only hope it still looks fine.

Either way, I love Macfadyen so much -- he's so good at just looking so melancholy. See starboard & soconvinced for more! Also, it is worth mentioning that Death at a Funeral is probably one of my top favourite comedy films of all time, and I highly recommend people checking it out. So much love. I'm iconing a few other people from this film, too.

Clearly I never learn. Dark and fast-moving action sci-fi flick != the right movie to icon after a five-month iconing hiatus. Why I did it, I'll never know.

----actually, wait, I do know! It has something to do with the fact that Mélanie looks like a beautiful, ethereal alien and I am pretty much hopelessly in love with her thanks to banlieue. ♥

o emily, y u so adorable? She is seriously one of my favourite actresses right now. Her squeaky little voice adjkhsfg♥. Also, I really really cannot stand Jonathan Rhys-Meyer's character in this film. Which is pretty much the only reason I couldn't be bothered to icon him.

All entirely from Jersey Girl. The caps were from a fairly low-quality video, so I just gave up on a few of the later scenes, but oh well. I apologise for any low quality and repetitiveness (which I know occurred)! But I love her glasses in this film, and Liv's face makes the most amazing expressions.

      - How to credit: simply type <lj user="chthonicons"> beneath the keywords when you upload my icon to your userpics.
      - What did I do while IJ was down? I comforted myself by making icons. :( Specifically, Missy! And mostly from Heroes caps, because uh. I need her looking Heroes-esque for a character. I know, I know, I'm self-serving with my iconing. Cope! :D
