So, you sneaky little minx, you - doing stuff without my knowledge? *pouts*

How is anyone supposed to choose? Hm? HM??

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

*blushes*
But surprises are nice too, yesno?
*snuggles my rosi*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! Those are lovely! Snagging #19 because we all know he is :)

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)
Yes, he is! *g*

Ahhhhh!

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

More Sharpe, just the thing!

I'm taking #'s 2, 5, 6, and 16 and will credit. The others are all perfectly marvelous, and may find their way into my store of icons at a later date. ;-) I love the picture on 15, and the phrase brings back fond memories of one of my favorite Sharpe episodes. Hee!

Thanks!

Re: Ahhhhh!

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

I seem to remember that Sharpie is the man for you. *g* Just as well, because if things go as I plan there will be a lot more to come (80 to be precise). We are going to be bored to tears of him :(

Anyway, I'm very happy that you like :D

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

#3 for me. I love both the picture and the sentiment.

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

There are a lot of both good and amusing things said in that series. One of my favs beside Sharpe is Hogan....

I'm glad you like it :)

[mrsbean.livejournal.com]

WizzyLove, these are gorgeous! And you're telling us there will be 80 more? Suddenly those 100 icons we now have don't seem like enough.

*smooches you madly*

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

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...:(

[semchance.livejournal.com]

These are beautiful! 2, 16, and 19 are absolutely wonderful.

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

I'm delighted that you like them :)
And thank you for taking the time to point out the ones you like best.
I'm curious, you see ;)

[jhobbit.livejournal.com]

Well my talented friend, it's about time you did some icons for that community. ;) These are lovely! Took #2, will credit. What is it with me, Sean, and big guns???

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

I don't know, what is it with you and Sean and big guns?
*shut up Freud*

WE REALLY needed these!

SHarpieeeeeeeeee!

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

Oh, there will be more...
I'm just letting it sink in that I'm supposed to make 100. A HUNDRED!!
*shakes head*
Oh, well -
*hugs you tight*

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

These are absolutely stunning. I don't know Sharpe but I adore Sean Bean and you have truly done him justice in these. Fantastic lighting, good cropping and I like the style. Bravo!

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

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.....
*swoons*
;)

[phoenixdragon06.livejournal.com]

how do you achieve that affect/effect? (haha i can't spell)

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[jack4will.livejournal.com]

Damm girlfriend those are awesome. Just put it in my memories so when I get ready to snatch any I can. I will credit when used. Love your stuff.

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweeie :D
I'm so happy that you like-

*grins*

[elven-minority.livejournal.com]

SEX! I mean... BEANIE!
People really don't make enough Beanie icons.

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

SEX! I mean... BEANIE!
That's the spirit!
*grins*
He is one of my favorite 'victims' icon-wise :D

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

Snagging number 19. I was just thinking I need a Sharpe icon, so the timing is perfect. :D

Angie

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to be of sercvice!
*bows & grins*
I'm afraid you will be seing more...

[lobo-solitario.livejournal.com]

I'm not taking any since I have no idea who this guy is, although he does look familiar, but I just wanted to say that I like the new look ^^ It does make a difference. Although I won't know for sure until you post that yellow icon post you were talking about ^_^

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

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 ( 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 ;)

[araestel.livejournal.com]

Beautiful work!

[wizzicons.livejournal.com]

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!

And yes, there will be more ;)
