icons: Downton Abbey

[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:




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

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

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!!!

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

Yes Michelle is so beautiful! She`s not your typical Miss World gorgeous but she`s just elegant and stunning! I love her and the character :)
Yes I love how her character is growing and being the eldest how she`s struggling to handle the whole 'I have to make a good match' thing . Plus I ship Mary/Matthew so hard ;)

I can`t wait to see you do more! Aw Anna and Bates are just the sweetest! :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You're right; plus she's got that classic porcelain skin and complexion. ;) I'm SO jealous, haha!

I like Mary/Matthew AND Anna/Bates, hahaha!!! They both need a huge slap upside the head right about now, lol...;P

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

Yes yes her skin and complexion are perfect I agree! :)

LOL yes both do ! I`m looking forward to season 2 especially since it`s supposed to be taking place post war! Exciting :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

POST war?! You mean we're skipping the whole freakin' war?!?!?!!?!? WTH?!

[charakitai.livejournal.com]

Absolutely gorgeous icons all of them! Great choice of caps and cropping. Took a bunch, will credit!

[kolibrichen.livejournal.com]

oh my :o so much loveliness :D my fav. are 003, 005, 006, 017 & 18 (LOVE), 019, 021, 023, 031 and 032 *sigh*

can't wait to see more :D

[dear-prudence.livejournal.com]

taking #4 - thank you!

[artekka.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[sky-magenta.livejournal.com]

ooh so many lovely Mary icons <3 they are all great!
I'll be taking #15, 16 and 30

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

um yeah I read somewhere that season 2 begins when the war ends.....

[madelinemorland.livejournal.com]

REALLY pretty icons!! I'm not sure which ones I'll take...I hope that's okay! Maybe if I decide on some I will tell you which ones I took. :)

[handmaiden-yane.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I can't wait to use them! :) Hope to see more.

Also, I love your music choice.

[handmaiden-yane.livejournal.com]

What?! I am not cool with this. I hope Thomas dies in the trenchs, though.

[handmaiden-yane.livejournal.com]

I agree. I think Edith is way too petty and awful.

[areth-lovejoy.livejournal.com]

#23 was my favorite - so playful and I love the colour of the dress!

[heathenslutnun.livejournal.com]

What content are you speaking of?

[on-the-ground.livejournal.com]

Saved 6 - Thanks ;)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

HA HA! Yeah me too. ;P Can O'Brien die, too?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and thanks for the comment! Enjoy. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

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. ;)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it, and thanks for the comment! :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Edith's pretty awful at this point in the story--I was initially inclined to like her, but not after what she's doing to Mary. She's no saint, Mary, but I'm beginning to think she's a heckuva lot better person than Edith. o.O

Sybil has her heart in the right place, but she could easily venture into dangerous Woodhousian territory if she meddles too much. ;P (I didn't like the way she selfishly snuck to the rally anyways; she could very well have gotten herself killed AND Branson fired. That's pure selfish immaturity.)

I'm still suspicious of Branson--we'll see if he proves worth his salt. ;)

BTW LOVE your icon! TROUSERS!!!!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Your userpic there is very pretty too. :D
