icons: The Phantom of the Opera

[olde_fashioned]

These are old icontest entries I'd actually entirely forgotten about not having made them public yet. Some of these turned out, but some didn't so I don't like them at all, but I'm posting them anyway just for the heck of it. ;-)

Such a pretty movie...makes me want to break out my DVD or soundtrack or both!

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:



Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.

Wow! How beautiful!
I cant tell you wich numbers cause I actually like them all. Your style and cropping is fantastic! If I had to say some favs it would be all the darker ones like #47 ♥

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! You are very kind. :-D

[eduquesne.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! Snagged 11 & 13 and will credit when used, thank you. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[greeneyedmissy.livejournal.com]

Oh I recognize so many of these! I'm totally in love with #30. *sigh* Just lovely....

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I wondered if any of the poto_stillness crowd would!! ;-D You have good eyes, hee hee.

Thank you very much, and I'm glad you like #30 even though I like the "atmosphere" more than the actual icon itself (does that make sense?). ;-)

[greeneyedmissy.livejournal.com]

I understand perfectly. I think that's what drew me to it, not just the image itself but the atmosphere and what it seems to be saying. You could essentially put just about any image in there and it still be amazing. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Awww... <3

I hope you're doing okay!!!

[lizzie-morrison.livejournal.com]

Brava, brava, bravissima =)

Absolutely gorgeous work <333

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

[spacious-soul.livejournal.com]

14, 19 & 38 are my favourites. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[littlelotte26.livejournal.com]

Lovely batch! I snagged a couple, with credit! :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment!

[kf-creations.livejournal.com]

OMG - seeing these makes me want to watch it again, and cap it - it has been TOO LONG!

You make the most beautiful POTO icons :-)

Particular favourites are 2, 4, 10, 16, 22, 25, 36 (OMG love it! the texture and the headless crop - great combination!) 49 and 55. I love your text icons lol, (but then you already know that!)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL! I know I forget how pretty this movie is. And awww! You're so sweet! Thank you... <3 :-D :-D :-D

Ah I'm glad you like 36! I love b&w and would use it way more often, if I didn't like color so much...hahahaha.

You should do a text batch sometime.

[kf-creations.livejournal.com]

That is another movie I really need to see again lol. So many movies - so little time. I know you love colour :-) it shows ;-)

Text batch - me?..... 0_o *runs for the hills*

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*gasp* I forget all of what my various friends haven't seen -- I'm sure you'd love this movie, and it's GOT to beat Twilight by lightyears! Though it kinda has similiar themes...creepy dude likes young girl...stalks her...falls in love with her...lol.

LOL! Aw come on -- I used to be scared stiff at the mere idea of using text on an icon. :-P Don't tell me you never got better at something with practice, either!!!

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

6, 30 and 41 might be my favorites! great batch

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[winterlillies.livejournal.com]

Argh! I miss making icons out of POTO-must start to do it again. :)

They are all stunning my dear. I have taken 30 & 52. Love what yo did with 49 & 50.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Same here! Part of me doesn't miss icontests ("OMG I MISSED THE DEADLINE!!!1") but a larger part of me does...they sharpen one's creative skills, methinks. I wish I had more time for them!

Thank you very much for the lovely words, and of course I'm glad you approve of any of my PotO graphics, HEE. ;-D

[cila81.livejournal.com]

Wow! These are gorgeous! :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

[princessjune.livejournal.com]

I never got to say how much I love this batch! I love icon number 2, the Madame Giry icons, 16, and 55.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww! Thank you; you're always such a sweetie!!

How are you feeling, btw?

[princessjune.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! <3


I'm feeling a lot better! Even though I'm still a little stiff and some of my movement is limited. However the doctor instructed me to do so small exercises and they're helping me a lot.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, well the limited movement stuff sucks, I'm sure. Years ago I had a mole removed between my shoulder blades and had to have stitches -- I couldn't do anything, not even wash my hair or raise my arms to get dressed. Thank God my mom was around to help me, else wise I'd been going about in bathrobes and dirty hair!!

[10millionpeople.livejournal.com]

Whoaaa. I know I'm kinda late happening upon this, but I was skimming a POTO icon site and I'm like, "Oh sweet Lord in Heaven this is divine." So yeah, these are gorgeous. Like, not just gorgeous. Like, "holy-crap-it's-Erik-and-look-she-made-him-10-times-better" gorgeous. Like, "oh-my-god-I-will-pay-her-for-tutorials" gorgeous. Like, -- well, I won't go on, because this comment is getting long :P

But, you get the picture. These are amazing, and now I have to go stalk you to see if you have any PSDs that I will so credit you for if I use them and other icons. Snagged a lot, will defo credit when I use (:

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you very much for your kind praise!

I don't have any PSDs, however, because I don't have Photoshop. ;-) I use GIMP.

[braceface-freak.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful icons!!!
Will credit!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment; enjoy! :)
