The Phantom of the Opera icons and wallpapers

A batch of The Phantom of the Opera icontest entries for [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness. All are from the movie with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler, and I've included two wallpapers as well because I just couldn't resist. ;-)

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy! (and if I catch you stealing, I'll sick the Opera Ghost on you!!)

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.

#1 won 1st place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

#2 won 2nd place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

#7 won 1st place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

#8 won 2nd place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

#13 won 1st place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

#14 won 2nd place @ [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness

The wallpapers are all uploaded to my deviantART account. I've started doing my wallpapers there rather than Photobucket because they allow larger resolutions for wallpapers, and I think it uploads faster. ;-)

I didn't make it in time to vote in the last [livejournal.com profile] poto_stillness icontest, but I wanted to check out your POTO icons.

I like 13 and 14 especially. Not taking any right now, though.

I've left a few other comments on your LJ using this username as well as my icon journal, [livejournal.com profile] no_more_night.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the comment! (and yes, I did notice that, thanks for telling me.) ;-)

[identity profile] vampirereverie.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
These are lovely!

May I ask where you got your scribble textures, and what fonts you used on numbers 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, and the first wallpaper? I know that's a lot, but they're really striking.

Again, great work. :D

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-07-28 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :-D

Oh, of course! Let me see...the scribbles were brought to my attention by a friend and are made by [livejournal.com profile] lifeisdolce, and the fonts are as follows:

9 -- 28 Days Later

10 -- Velvet and the tiny text is Times New Yorker

15 & 17 -- Felix Titling

18 -- the tiny text is Felix Titling again, and the gothic font is XiBeronne.

There! I think that's all...;-)

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
You are very welcome! :-)

[identity profile] vampirereverie.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
So Sorry to bother you again, but do you think that you could upload the file for Felix Titling for me? It's really small, you could put it in an archive and upload it to DeviantART. Please? I'd be forever in your debt.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-07-29 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a bother. Unfortunately though, I have no idea how to do that!! :-( I'm sorry! I did a search for you, though, and I found three links:

I hope those help!!

Sorry to disappoint. :-( I really hope those work for you. :-)

Hey!!! Where am I?!!

;-D

Seriously, though, great icons! My favorite is 001, but 006 really made me laugh. Good batch. ^_^

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
ROTFLOL!! A thousand apologies Nathan, and if you really would like icons of your Phabulously-clad self, then you shall have them. *bows*

Thank you for the comment! :-D

Awww, thank you very much! :-D That is very sweet of you to say, and I definitely plan on making more! ;-)

Heya, a friend of mine posted this article (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/book_extracts/article4448371.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=2015164) in his journal that I thought you and/or your brother might possibly be interested in.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the link! That was a very interesting read. I may blog about it later. :-) Thanks!

[identity profile] satinesatire.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I took 001 and will credit. You have such beautiful icons!

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, and enjoy. :-)

[identity profile] maianarisa.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome icons!
Taking icon #5 because it's too damn funny. Will credit of course. :)

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehe, glad you like! :-) Thanks.

[identity profile] msjdarcy.livejournal.com 2008-12-07 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
I know I'm commenting to a post that month's old, but I'd just like to say that since I'd gotten my new widescreen laptop I've been dying to find some new wallpapers for it and I've finally found some!! So I'm taking the second wallpaper. And thanks so much for making widescreen wallpapers!!

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-12-07 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't mind at all about it being an old post! :-D I'm happy to see my older work still appreciated, heheh. ;-D

I've made a ton of wallpapers that I haven't posted here on LJ yet at my deviantART account (linked on my sidebar). I haven't made too many widescreens, but a lot of what I've done has a lot of extra black space around it. Setting the wallpaper on center might still work out nicely, you know what I mean? :-)

[identity profile] msjdarcy.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the tip. I checked it out and took a couple of N&S and PotO wallpapers which I think will look quite good. Thanks again!
