I'm a slow, slow worker, but finally, here's part two! I'm planning on iconing all of the episodes, but it's going to take me quite a while, especially once Torchwood airs again... Anyway, I don't particularly like this batch (the colouring was a bitch, you have no idea how much time I spent cleaning up some of the caps), but I hope you guys do. I pretty much... Well, I just like the teaser icons, and maybe two or three others to be honest. What's happened to my Photoshop mojo? :'(

I've really gotten into Merlin recently. Campy? Well, yes. Fun? Absolutely. The gay subtext explodes off the screen, I've made it a sport to recognize all the ex-Who actors, and did I mention the great Anthony Head? Anyway, I thought I'd better start practicing with Photoshop again, with the Doctor Who christmas special coming up and all.
Nothing special, just me trying to find my footing again and my attempts at being funny.

The most horrible thing of all things horrible has happened.
Photoshop has quit on me.
I'll give you a second to recover from that news.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
Suddenly it's asking for me code thingy again, and the registration isn't working and AAAAHHH. So, basically my question is if anyone knows how to crack Photoshop CS. I've been googling for ages, but nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm just a moron, I don't know, but the world seems to be out to get me today, and I'm done. Somebody? Anybody? You'd be a total life saver!

I haven't posted in a while... Again... Quick recap of the most important events:
*I sat next to the Dutch prime minister and his family in a hotel bar and had to keep retrieving my little niece from under his chair.
*I went to COLDPLAY CONCERT OMG OMG OMG OMG. MAGIC! EPIC! LEGENDARY! AMAZING! SUPERLATIVES!
*Stephen Fry on Buzzcocks! I've died and gone to heaven! For realz!
Don't worry, I'll be back and catching up with my Friends List soon! Keep faith!

Well... I couldn't wait, so whether you want it or not, here's part one of my recap.

First off, let me start by saying that, sadly, English is not my first language. I speak it pretty well, but I still make mistakes, so if you spot one, please let me know!
Secondly, I know that a lot of Austen fans spit fire at the very mention of this series, but I have the perfect cure: Don’t take it too seriously. I know it’s trying to get in on the Jane Austen hype of the last couple of years, and it’s not the best thing ever written, and the characters are taken for some weird spins… I’m not an absolute Austen purist, but I do prefer films/series to stay as close to the book as possible. And yet, even as a lit major and Austen geek, I can still enjoy it. It’s fluffy, flawed, ridiculous, screwball fun, and it has never pretended to be anything different. The best thing to do is to just enjoy it for an hour and then forget all about it for the rest of the week. However, there will still be nitpicking along the way, don’t worry.
Cheers!

As you all know, I love me some Austen. Now, recently, this show called Lost In Austen came to my attention, and it's grown on me. Of course, my inner Austenist screams at some bits, but mostly, it's just very entertaining.
So, I was thinking... Recaps? How do you people feel about that?
Meanwhile, I'm going to ravish Mr Bingley in a broom cupboard. Excuse me.

I was cleaning up my Photobucket and I found these lying around and realized I never actually posted these. I think. If I have, I'm sorry.

Hmmm, my hiatus isn't really turning out the way I planned. As it turns out, I actually had a lot of free time on my hands during the whole moving business yesterday. I've picked out some lovely wallpaper (dark red with silver outlines of roses, very classy), but then I had the rest of the day off, so I made a gazillion Rosamund Pike icons. Why Rosamund Pike? Because I love her. She's beautiful, she has a lovely voice, and she really is the way I imagined Jane Bennet to be. Anyway, there are 49 icons under the cut, and I hope you like them!

Bad news!
I'm afraid I'll have to take a temporary LJ break, for several reasons. First of all, my computer broke down (AGAIN #!%&#!). I don't know what the hell is wrong with it this time, but it'll be missing in action for a while. Secondly, I just got a new appartment in Utrecht, so I'll be busy moving, and lastly, the summer holidays have started, and I'll be in Italy for a week with some friends (Rimini. Good Lord, how did they talk me into this?).
But once I get back, I'll make it up to you with the usual amount of icon posts and requests! Thank you so much for all the support, your lovely comments make my day every time, and I hope to talk to you all again soon!
Cheers!

So, I'm putting Torchwood on pause for the time being. Don't worry, I'll still icon the second half of 2x12 and the whole of 2x13, but after iconing our beloved Hubbies every week for two months, I can't get myself to do it. It's a phase, don't worry, I'll get over it. Stick with me, people!
Anyway, this icon post contains How I Met Your Mother, T-shirt prints and, per request, Hollyoaks' John Paul and Craig.

As it turns out, dieting is great for icon making. You see, dieting makes me hungry. Really hungry. And how do I distract myself? By watching Ed and photoshopping. The result? Icons!

Aaaaand part two! 2x12 and 2x13 (*sob*) should follow soon. Again, lots of PC Andy, but also Jack/Ianto (damn those plants!) and the rest. Enjoy!

AT LAST, another icon post! It's been ages and I'm way behind, but my life's been crazy the last couple of weeks. I had to move back in with my parents (and it's not pretty, let me tell you), my work's been hectic, everything's a big confusing mess, so I'll hope you'll all forgive me. Anyway, I'm doing my best to catch up, and this first post contains the ever lovely PC Andy! I figured we could all use some accent porn after the complete emotional drain of the season finale (I know I do). I only got halfway through Adrift (2x11) so far, but I'll make some more tonight, and hopefully be done with that episode by the end of the day (including That Janto Scene, yes).
Long story short: icons!
( I've gone away, don't call me, don't write. )

Some more Torchwood icons! I'm not happy with this batch, but colouring really was a bitch this episode. I don't know why, but none of them turned out the way I planned them to. Anyway, I hope you guys like them.

I rediscovered Clarity Lore's manips a while back and decided to make some icons. I'm afraid a lot of gradients have been shamelessly abused in the process, for which I apologize. I blame my glee at reinstalling them on my computer.

What's this? What's this?
No icons for a change?
What's this?
Why, this is all quite strange!
What's this?
Has she really made a Torchwood vid?
I didn't know that's what she did!
I almost had a proper fit! What's this?!

Ahem. Yes, so, I made a Jack/Ianto vid, set to Amy Winehouse - Amy Amy Amy. It's not very good, since it's my first, but I thought I'd share it anyway. Feedback is very welcome!
