ONE Jessica Jones?! You're killin' me, Smalls!

I really like your coloring on the purple Thea icon & the Braeden shotgun icon.

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

Oh pretty! I love the vibrant colors on 10in30 set - the #4 especially!
Also the AHS #31 and #34 are amazing! :)

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thanks!
i found it very very hard not to icon a million caps of clary with fire hair.

[lovediscomfort.livejournal.com]

LOVE that Countess/Dean one. I didn't know I needed that until just now.

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

lol thanks! those AHS icons were from an incomplete set from character20n20 a couple months ago.
normally i don't do crossover icons.

These are really great! I love the TW ones esp. Can I ask how you get such great sharpening for your hair porn icons? Like, #6 is seriously pretty.

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

I'm a fucking idiot and wrote a whole big thing and then exited the screen before posting. Because I'm smart like that.
But first off, thank you!

For sharpening, I always sharpen on a new layer using unsharp mask.
I usually use these settings (http://i.imgur.com/9LowntI.png), I might play with the radius depending on how blurry the image is, but I also might just create a new stamp layer and sharpen that one again.
For oversharp parts I tend to use a mask and erase with a mid to low opacity brush, if its still too sharp you can always go in on the layer (or generally a new stamp. I'm all about new layers in case I fuck something up.) with a blur brush.

And then for hair, I might also use a soft light layer and draw in some shadows and highlights.

Lemme know if you have any questions or want any examples? I rarely save PSDs but I can usually whip something up.

Such beautiful colors everywhere, as usual. :D

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thank you :)

[midnight-owl13.livejournal.com]

love them! snagged some shadowhunter ones

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

yay thank you! :D

[rvnrs.livejournal.com]

LOVE 6 & 8. The blue, the texture on 8, the blue. Also really like muted #5, cont'd #5, the crop on 13, and colors on 19 (pretty!).

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

oh wow thanks!
blue is my jammmmmmm. as kind of shown. i go to it so much.

[angelamaria.livejournal.com]

Love your 10in30 set! I love how put together in terms of coloring scheme they all are! The colors of 1 is super pretty and I adore the crop of 7. For the other icons, I really like 7, 21, and 31! :D

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thank you so much! i've been playing with colours and vibrancy lately, i'm glad you like it. :)

[library-of-sex.livejournal.com]

The crop and coloring in one are flawless, and I love the deep, dark purple tones in the 4th piece. My fave of your 10in30 set is the 7th icon with its wonderfully dense earthy brown tones and the exquisite shadowing in her face! *DROOLS*

The shadowing and lighting in 10 are to die for. Wow. The crop and muted coloring in 18 are impeccable, and I love the clean split-screen composition of 27. The coloring and sharpening are perfection, too! :D

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

ahh thanks so much for your comments :D
i really like how that izzy icon turned out, i'm glad you like it too!

[vanishingspirit.livejournal.com]

Very recently, I came to love this show (Shadowhunters, 10in30) very much and enjoy icons of it.
Yours are lovely. I love 2, 5, 7, and 9. :)

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thank you! :D

[tturners.livejournal.com]

Your colours are SO gorgeous. *w*
I adore the 1st, 2nd and 4th vibrant icons,
and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd muted. *saving*

I also love #13, #15, #16, #20, #23, #31, #33 and #27! :D

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thanks so much! i'm glad you liked them! :D

[thyla87.livejournal.com]

Glorious coloring and the lighting! ♥ I just love your vibrant set; esp the 1 and 4 and 5! But also 2 has stunning blue color and 3 I just adore the vibrant coloring! Muted set I adore your grunge style esp. 1-3. Lovely crop of 4 and so pretty blue coloring! ♥

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thank you! :)
i tend to go to blue so often, i'm glad people like it.

Grabbing #7 of Alex from Supergirl. Will credit.

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thanks so much :)

[delacours.livejournal.com]

These are really great, I love all Alex ones and your crops on #13 and #18 are amazing. And your 10in30 muted set is just so damn pretty, I really, really love the coloring! :D

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

thank you! :)

[starry-night.livejournal.com]

6 & 7 from your 10in30 set are stunning - amazing lighting and contrast! I also really love the crop and colouring in 1 (redheads make the best icon subjects, lol); the dark vibrancy in 2, with the pop of Clary's hair; the beautiful purples in 4, and the blues and lighting in 10.

From the other icons - 1, 10, 13 & 18 have terrific crops and lighting. And I also love 5, 6, 15, 21, 33 (OMG! This is like an awesome crossover idea!), 34 & 36 :)

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

ahhh thanks so much for these lovely compliments!
