I hope there will be 80 more...
*gnaws finger nails*
And I'm afraid that by then everybody will be bored to tears of our fav orphan boy...:(

Thank you! For liking, but also for taking the time to tell me what you blike about them! Appreciated :)
If you adore Beanie, you have to watch Sharpe! You have no idea.....

I'm not sure what effect you mean, but what I did was:
- Cut Sharpe out of the original pic and re-size.
- Lighten and sharpen by using screen, overlay and contrast effects.
- Smudge face to your liking.
- Desaturate almost completely (ca 90%)
- Put face in front of white layer (just fill with white colour)
- Put in some VERY light gray shades by filling layer and using smudge tool.
- Top layer is filled with orange/brown colour and set to soft light. Desaturate to your liking.
The border brush is just a 1 pixel border adjusted to the wanted size.
That's about it. :)

Well...the border is two pixels, come to think of it.

Boromir's my real man, but Sharpe is running neck and neck with him. I do hope you won't be bored with Sharpe by the time you're done here -- I won't be, that's for sure! Thanks for taking up a subject for this that is dear to my heart. ;-) Drooling... er, looking forward to more!

Oh I do like girlfriend. Your icons are very good.

[identity profile] wizzicons.livejournal.com 2005-09-05 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
This is Sean Bean (the Boromir guy from LOTR) in the disguise of one Major Richard Sharpe. It's the role he is most famous for I believe, apart from Boromir, of course.

As for the layout; I'm glad you like it, but I'm afraid it's not a permanent one :(. The numbers are for the benefit of this comm ( [livejournal.com profile] icons100 ), that I'm doing the Sharpe challenge for. There are some themes and such involved, that make them necessary. I'm not so pleased with them.... I'll keep experimenting ;)

[identity profile] wizzicons.livejournal.com 2005-09-05 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you sweeite :)

Sigh- these are lovely.
There can never be enough Sharpe!
Having long admired your work from afar, I am now bold enough to say: "hello"! I will save some of these, if I may, and will credit of course. I especially love 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17 and 20...

And you are working on 80 more to come?! ye gods!

**sighs deeply in appreciation**
