My muse needs some fresh blood, methinks!

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and while it's not quite a requests post, I'm interested in hearing what all of my friends and readers would like to see me icon. I've left off a few things I'd love to icon, mainly because I can't find good quality images to work with (e.g., Ever After, Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea).

I've come up with a short poll listing a few of the things I've contemplated making graphics of, so I'm asking your opinion! Check as many of the boxes as you'd like, or please, feel free to comment and suggest something not mentioned. (Do note I'm not promising to abide by said suggestions...) ;) I'm also willing to do more of topics I've already covered in the past--for example, Master & Commander, or more 18th century art.

And as for the non-period drama titles suggested in the poll, I'm not whole-heartedly opposed to doing a few "modern" batches, if the subject matter is visually inspiring!

How about The King's Speech? Theres sadly not enough icons of that great movie.

Because I haven't seen it and am not sure how I'll like it--I really do try to only icon things I've seen, unless they're adaptations of books I've read (i.e,. Jane Austen or Jane Eyre).

Yes for Battlestar Galactica!

But how come not the new Emma?

It's your fault for starting my Bleak House obsession so it's only fair I vote for BH. ;)

this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if you had a tumblr?

(also I voted for the office, but I would probably love anything you iconed lol)

I do, but I never use it so I don't make it public. ;)

LOL, I can't help but think ICONS whenever I see certain facial expressions of Dwight or Jim!!

Want to give your muse a run? Lets do an icon battle! :)

I haven't voted yet, but I say The House of Mirth.

Oooooooooooooooh sounds good to me!!!!! :D :D :D If you don't mind a slow poke on the other end?

Loved her clothes in that movie, and I wish I could steal her coloring. SO gorgeous.

We-llll, the only one of those I've seen is The Scarlet Pimpernel (which I do like), so I voted for that and Last of the Mohicans, which I've always thought looks good.

Please to more Jane Eyre icons, too!

I would love some more icons of the Kate Beckinsale Emma - it's my favourite version and there are so few around!

Also Downton Abbey - there can never be enough of it! :)

From: [identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com
I know, right? It's my fave as well as I'm sure you already know. I don't understand why people like the other versions, LOL!

Downton Abbey was had such GORGEOUS clothes and hats!!

Would love to see some Pre-Raphaelite art icons! Maybe some Dante Gabriel Rossetti?

Date: 2011-02-09 07:56 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com
I've done a few of the Pre-Raphaelites, but not enough! Rossetti I really don't care for, but maybe a few of him could be thrown in for good measure someday!

I must say that I love your 18th century art icons, so more of those is always something I would like to see more of.

I would also like to see some icons for the 2011 version of Jane Eyre. I've seen some stills and the trailer and think it looks quite good so far.

Aw, thanks! That's one era I think I'll always icon--until I run out of art, that is... ;P

I've actually already iconned all the promos that were out at the time of posting: http://olde-fashioned.livejournal.com/tag/movies%3A%20jane%20eyre%20%282011%29

Hi Lauren!

I was wondering if you could make more icons of Fragonard's art? He's my favorite painter & artist. ♥

Date: 2011-02-16 07:04 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com
Hey June! How're you doing?

That's a good idea--I haven't done any of his art in a long time! I think I could manage to throw a few Fragonards in with my next 18th C. batch. ;D

You do realize that whatever you icon it will probably be amazing right? ;)
