So. . . .

I know I haven't been on in so long, but things have gotten pretty busy between graduation and working 40 hours a week. I hardly have anytime to myself. Especially since I have to commute to work. :P

Here are some icons that have been piling up. I'm hoping to do an icon battle with

aravisautarkeia. Is anyone else interested in doing one? Also, I'm planning to do another texture collaboration, if any one is interested.

I'm gonna try to do a Yu-na moodtheme to go with my new header. ^^ And some graphics from her Kiss and Cry! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about it! It's been great so far!

They're beautiful!

Thank you! ^^

Oooh! Both sounds great! ^^

Probably screencaps/images. And 20 seems like a good number. 10 for Narnia and 10 for LotR?

(deleted comment)

Sounds good! :)

I took #18. I will give credit when I use.

Thank you! The credit is much appreciated! ^^

6 is one of my favorite parts of Emma. :)

Me too! ^^

wow I really liked 8,9,10 from the scene challenge! Such pretty coloring! :D
14 and 15 are also so so pretty!
I`ve never done an icon battle before but I would love to give one a go with you! :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them!

I'd love to do one with you too! :)

aw yay so whenever you`re up for it then :)

I`ve never done an icon battle before so you`ll have to guide me lol :)

Basically, we come up certain fandoms that we have in common. Then we each pick a certain number of pictures for each fandom, and then make icons however we like.

I think we both like a lot of period dramas, right? Do you like The Young Victoria? Because I'd love to do that as one of the fandoms. If not, we can figure out some other fandoms.

Ooo, these are very lovely! I especialy love 11-13 and 17.

Thank you! ^^

Gorgeous icons! :D

I'd love to do an icon battle, if you have time someday! :) I've never done one before, but I know how they work! :)

I'd love to do one with you! ^^ :D

Yay! :D I think it would be so fun! :) I'm a bit full up on graphics projects this month. (3 20in20's, plus I just joined two land coms, and I'm doing requests on NW), but I might be able to find time. :) When would it work for you?

Whenever is fine, though it may take me awhile since I'm working 40 hours a week. :P

Alright. :) How many images should we do? I know 10-20 is always a good amount, cause then we could split them easily. :) And which fandoms would you like to do? :)

20 is perfect! ^^

I know we definitely have to do Narnia! ^^ LotR is a definite too! Maybe some period dramas, too?

Yes, definitively Narnia. :D And LOTR is fine with me. And I'm always up for P&P or another favorite period drama.

Yes, let's do P&P. ^^ What other period dramas do you like?

To tell the whole truth, I don't watch a lot of other period dramas. But I'm all up for iconing from any of the ones you like. :)

Let's do Narnia, LotR, Pride and Prejudice, and maybe we could do some Narnia cast? I enjoy iconning Anna Popplewell and Georgie Henley, so if you want we could do that.

Or actually if you just want to do 20 icons total, we could just do Narnia and LotR. You pick 5 screencaps for each one, and I'll pick 5 for each one.

Or if you wanted to do the four different ones, we could do a total of 40 icons.

Whatever works for you.

And no need to worry about a timeline. We can post them whenever.

Lovely work! :) I like how 4 turned out, and the brightness of the colouring on 8-10 is so pretty! 17 is also particularly nice. :)

The commuting sounds awful and a devourer of time (is it a horribly long commute?), but I hope work is going well for you otherwise. :)

An icon battle against you would be so much fun and such a good challenge for me, but I'm not sure when would be a good time on my end. Maybe someday, though, if you've time for it, we could do one? :)

Awww. Thank you!

Communiting takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (depending on if speed :P and how traffic is). I don't mind it, but it just eats up a lot of time!

I'd love to do an icon battle with you! If you don't have time right now, we can do it sometime in the future! :)

Well, still, that means the drive takes up an hour to two hours every day, so it does eat up a lot of time! I always feel kind of bad when my coworkers talk about how long it takes for them to get to work and I sit there thinking, "It only takes me about a quarter of that time to get here..." Hopefully the drive itself goes by fairly quickly for you. :)

Well, to be honest, I'm not sure how long it takes for one (since I've never done one before), but I currently have three or so weeks in the beginning of July (after the 4th) when I have nothing really but work planned. Would that work for you? :) I could do one sometime after that too, of course, if that works better for you, but I don't know what all I'll have planned then (if I'm off work by that time, then I might have oodles of time, so it's kind of up to you). :)

The drive is actually pretty nice (since the view is pretty and I listen to my music). ^^

Early July would be just perfect for me! ^^

Oh, good! Nice scenery and music help tons. I always like the bits in the country best when I go home (that, and there's usually less traffic there!); while my commute here is short, it's rather boring. :D

Glad that'll work! What fandoms would you like to do? I know we have a number in common, even if I've never made graphics for them before (there are surprisingly quite a few of those).

Oh, and I hope you've had a simply wonderful birthday today! :)

Sorry about not getting back with you. Are you still interested in doing an icon battle? If not, that's okay. I understand. ;)

It's okay! I meant to check in with you when it got closer, but, eh, it obviously didn't happen. :P
Well, university just started back up, but I think I'm still up for an icon battle, as long as you don't mind me being a bit slow if classes get too busy. :) Do you have time for one?

Sorry it took so long for me to get back with you.

I don't mind if we take it slow. I've got a lot of stuff going on as well, but I'd love to still do an icon battle with you! ;)

Sounds great to me then! :) We can just take it slow. ;)

As far as what subject/fandom we do it over, do you have a preference? Off the top of my head, I know we have LotR, Sherlock, period dramas, and possibly some Disney in common, though I'm really up for almost anything you'd like to do. :)

Yay! ;)

LotR and Sherlock sound great! I'd love to do some period dramas and Disney as well. What are some that you prefer?

As far as Disney goes, I'm game for pretty much any of the "princess" films (I haven't done graphics for any really, though especial favourites are probably Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled)...I'm afraid I'm drawing a bit of a blank on everything else Disney has done at the moment. :P

As for period dramas, I like the '95 P&P (though I know you've done a lot of graphics for it), the '95 S&S, North and South, The Young Victoria (again, I know you've done this before), Little Dorrit (which you've done as well), Cranford, Persuasion (either one), and some other ones that I'm currently drawing a blank on. :P
Just about the only ones I'd rather not do are the ones I haven't seen. ;) I think of the most popular ones, that'd be Wives and Daughters, the '05 P&P, the '08 S&S, Return to Cranford, and the most recent Emma.

Just to clarify, I don't mind doing some that you've done before, if you'd like. I just don't want you to feel like you have to make graphics for something you want to take a break from simply because it's on my list. :D

Sorry for the late response!

No problem! My response is kind of late too, lol!

Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, and Tangled sound good (although I haven't made any Tangled graphics yet. I wouldn't mind though. I just rewatched the movie with my sisters the other night!)

I definitely would love to do the '95 P&P, '95 S&S, North and South, The Young Victoria (definitely would love to icons again!), Little Dorrit, Cranford, and the 2007 Persuasion.

We could either narrow down our list or we could do two images from each fandom, which ever you prefer. And we can take it slow. ;)

Apologies again on the lateness..

:D I'd love to do all 10, so if you're up to a mix, that'd be fun. :)
So, I'll pick an image from each film/series and you'd pick one, and then we send them to each other and get started on making icons, correct?

Sorry again for how long it's been taking. I'm quite excited to actually get this started now! :D

That's okay! I guess I took awhile getting back to you!

So the fandoms are: Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, '95 P&P, '95 S&S, North and South, The Young Victoria, Little Dorrit, Cranford, and the 2007 Persuasion. Did you want to add Narnia and LotR, too? Or we could save those two for another time since that would be six movies.

Yes, I would pick one image from each movie, and you would pick one from each movie. Then we just message each other the links, and icon all the images to our heart's content! ^^

Eh... How about we save LotR and Narnia for some other time, since we've already got 10 down and that's 20 icons, if that's okay with you. :)

Alright! :D I'll get started on finding images and send them to you as soon as I can. :)

I love the colouring in your Little Dorrit set and I just think 14 and 16 are great!

Thank you! I'm glad you like them! ^^

Lovely! Borrowing #17 with credit!

Glad you like it! The credit is much appreciated! ^^
