Icons: Medieval, Regency, Victorian Art and Flower icontest entries

A bunch of icontest entries this time, mostly of various eras in art (Medieval, Regency, and Victorian) but also of flower stock as well as some of Millais, EB Leighton, Dicksee, Alma-Tadema, and Mucha. I've also included a pair of love banners; one of Medieval art and the other of Mucha. ;-)

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.

They are awesome! Especially 031 - 037, as for me.
And could I use in my profile the second banner? With credits, of course? :)

Oh, # 5, 11, & 17 (I just like that painting). Oh, they're all pretty and the banners.

And your hopelessly romantic icon.

*sigh*

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-06-24 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I've always loved that painting with Mariana! She's beautiful, but very difficult to icon, or at least for me. ;-P

And your hopelessly romantic icon.

Which one? ;-P The Accolade manip, or this^^ *points to icon* one??

Isn't it neat? I wish I knew who painted it. I don't know the names of the artists for any of the three you chose, sadly. :-( I always feel bad about that!

OHH now don't make me jealous!!! I love his work. I have a clipping of his Laurel (#5) hanging over my bed. ;-D

Hmmm, so I guess #s. 23 and 29 are duds, eh? (KIDDING! KIDDING!) lol.

Taking 11 of course, also 20.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-06-26 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the comment! I'm happy that you approve of #11. ;-D It's probably borderline sacriledge, but I just couldn't resist. *hee*

I love the painting in #20, but I think the colors are a tad bit "yellow". It's on the cover of my Penguin copy of Wives & Daughters, believe it or not. *rolls eyes*
