40 John Quixote Icons

40 John Quixote Icons for Round 10 of [livejournal.com profile] farscape_20in20 .

  

Meh. This is quite possibly my favorite episode of the series, I loved the themes (and they seemed particularly well suited to my choice), but I'm just not satisfied D: I hope you like the results more than I do...

Gorgeous as always. :D

these are all great! I'm particularly drawn to 'weird' - what does that say about me??

I love this episode, too. I'm not sure I totally get it but that's ok.

Ohhhh! Shiny!! :-)

"Body part" is the one my eyes keep coming back to: it might be the black-and-white starkness, or the intensity of the gesture, I don't know...
I just love it.

I really like amused, very nice crop and the coloring is lovely. Like all the cropping on the Category ones. Also quite like AC3 and AC4. The expression in Alternate 8 totally cracks me up.

Overall they are all great of course. This episode is fun, but difficult to make icons of in my experience.

You have amazing eye for detail and for the way you crop images. They are weird because this episode is weird, obviously :) but there is also something unique about the way you see and show them. Great work!

These are lovely, I really don't see why you don't like them. ACs #1 and #5 are my favorites, Chiana looks so fragile and pretty in them. And the B&W always works, although as can be seen in Alt 4, AC5 is gorgeous in color as well.

I LOVE the crops in the category. It's hard to pick favorites, but #1 stands out quite nicely. It's very interesting and I love the colors. #4 is awesome too, 'Harvey' is so cute in that episode.

Of the themes my favorites are Body Part (for the exact reasons Nymeria mentioned), Center Crop (wow, I really really love the bright colors and the overall weirdness of that scene/image), Amused (the crop is lovely) and Struggle (love the creepiness, how we can pretty much see only Scorpy's silhouette, and John's expression is lovely, I think the icon is a perfect interpretation of the theme).

While I think you made the right picks, there are still many Alternatives I also love. #11 is my favorite, the coloring and the crop both work great, and it's such a lovely scene between the two. #12 is my second favorite with awesomely pretty colors.

(I'm having major trouble with my set right now. I have to redo like half of them because I keep producing nothing but amateurish-looking dren D: I also have discovered that I hate making Upside Down icons as much as you dislike Levels - I just don't see their point! So in a way it's good to hear I'm not the only one to whom this round has been a bit rocky. It's not the themes, like you said, it's just... something, probably the pressure from people liking the last set so much.)

Oh, they are all very nice! I especially love the crops in the category! And I think I like upside down and center crop most of all!

I truly love them all. Your icons are always so pretty, beautiful and fantastic :) I also love this episode! Zoom is really lovely, I love also center crop and body part!!

Category cet is so great, 1 and 2 are my favorite. Also love so much AC; 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Ok, i love them all, LOL!! I will take 1, 2 and 5, will credit. :) And also I tale center crop.

I have to say that I also really like alternates 4, 5, 11 and 15 :)

these came out really nice!!! I love your AC set! Your #2 alien might be a fave of mine to... heheh

These are lovely! I think I know what you mean about expectations vs. outcome, heh. I feel the same about my set for this round. I had all these great ideas in my head, but for some reason the icons didn't turn out the way I hoped they would.

But anyway, I really like these! The colours in 'upside down' and 'center crop' are great, I love the bold colours in this episode. The crops in your category set are fantastic, and I really love AC #01 and #05, too.

Great work! :)

Just dropping a note in general to say I have a ton of your Chiana icons saved for when I can afford to increase my icon packages and am already using a few - all with credit.

You make lovely icons and a nice range of expressions that I can use effectively for roleplaying Chi with.

Thank you :D
