olde_fashioned: (Downton Abbey -- Downton landscape)
[personal profile] olde_fashioned
So let me first preface this with the disclaimer of I do not approve of certain "content" in this series despite the fact that I'm iconing it. Since it'd be a shame to let all those gorgeous costumes and hats go to waste...here's the first batch of what I am sure will be many more (especially once the second series airs). ;)

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

Teasers:
1 2 3



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 beautiful! So many Mary icons! She`s my favorite character at the moment. Many don`t like her but I sympathize with her .
*ahem* I`m aware of the content you`re referring to there but it wasn`t that bad so let it go ;)
2,5,8,10,14,21 and 32 are stunning! :D

Whoa, that was FAST, Val!! LOL!

I like Mary despite her flaws--she's not a bad person, just rather selfish and spoiled. Plus she doesn't know how to handle the curve balls life is beginning to throw her. (Is Michelle Dockery not one of the most gorgeous women on the planet?!)

LOL yes yes, I *am* letting it go as you put it, or else you wouldn't be seeing icons of it here. ;P But I'm very glad you like them, and I plan on making more--this is just what I've got made for the time being. I wanted to get something up, lol.

I need to get better Anna/Bates images!!!

Aww, thank you very much! I am glad you like them.

I was stalling with posting these because I wanted to be finished with the ones that I've got in progress, but I figured it might be better (nicer?) to share what I've got done already and post the rest whenever. ;)

i love the sibyll icon! she's the only decent sister, imho. :P I liked Mary more at the end than I did at the beginning, but it was the opposite with Edith--I felt bad for her, but now she's just being LOW.

plus, sibyll's GORGEOUS, AND a feminist! lol I'm totally shipping her and the lovely Irish driver. :)

From: [identity profile] handmaiden-yane.livejournal.com
I agree. I think Edith is way too petty and awful.

Thank you! I plan on making more--I've got the images on my PC they're just not "speaking" to me at the moment...if you know what I mean. ;)

Oohh, another Leigh Nash fan I take it?

I love the textures you used ( That is the right word, right? I'm terrible at graphic lingo).

I know exactly what you mean by certain "content". ; ) They could have eluded to their immorality without showing it.

Thomas will probably live, evil has a way of doing that. :(

I hope the wife of Bates divorces him so he can court Anna properly.

You're probably right--do you mean like the patterned thingie in the background of #1, stuff like that?

I just hope he dies--he makes me angry when he's on screen being evil! I want Bates to punch him in the nose. (I think I cheered when he slammed Thomas into the wall, mwahahaaaaa!)

I hope so as well--or she dies. HAH!

Saving numbers 9 and 21 with thanks! I have fallen in love with Downton Abbey, it's the best mini-series I have come across since North and North. It's been beautifully shot and reminds me of Upstairs, Downstairs which holds a special place in my heart, too.

From: [identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com
I'm very glad you like them! :D Thanks for stopping by.

I enjoyed Downton way more than I expected to (must be the hats haha). I'm eagerly looking forward to #2 but am hoping the rumors of it beginning post-war are wrong!

Gah I had so many issues with Downton. For me it was a been there done that type of show and I could predict where it was all heading the first 20 minutes of the first episode. I sort of felt that if it was going around why Mary wasn't being received, etc. then Grantham would have heard about it especially if he belonged to any of the gentleman clubs. I just find it really hard to believe it could have been that quiet even with the Dowager Countess trying to dispel the rumors.

I like what you did with 2! It is so fitting. :) Overall the crops are just beautiful on this entire batch.

I've taken 19 & 20 because I so love Edith and her all faults.

Whoa, did I really miss this comment? o.O

I had issues with it, too (it's basically a period soap opera), and fairly predictable so far, and a teensy bit melodramatic. However, I enjoyed it way more than I expected to (might have something to do with the cast and those HATS!!), so I'll definitely be tuning in for #2.

Yeah good point about the Mary rumors!

I was loving Edith too, until she betrayed Mary (brutally, IMO), and after that I just couldn't see her the same way.
