Oh, my! These are beautiful! I love B&W and I love textless icons, so you're making me very happy here. :-)
I especially like 6, 12, 16, 23, 25, 31, 38, 41 (I knew who that was right away, and I'd never even seen the source shot), 65, 68, and 72.
And as for the Giles icons... oh dear lord. And I mean that in the very best way! I'm snagging several for future use -- 47, 49, 52, 53 (GUH!), and 54, I think, though I'll have to ogle them for a while longer to be sure.
There's something about black and white that just adds class to a picture... these are all so simple, but so lovely! You do a great job with the cropping.
hee! So glad there are other people who love b&w too! And thanks so much for the fabulous feedback -- I'm grinning from ear to ear now. I completely agree with you about the Giles. The man is simply *guh* worthy!
Now I have 100 icons (pauses to rejoice) I'm snagging some of these because they're just gorgeous. Will come back when I return from my short trip ::hugs::
You are an absolute cropping genius! Okay, yeah, I've said it before, but it's absolutely true. You just "get" it. These are just amazing! I'm so glad I have new icon slots!
Among my faves: 5-8. Yup! They totally rock :) Dawn is just so fucking hot in 5-7; seriously, ms. eb is suffering from a case of the drools. That half-smile of faith's in number 8 is just... it's so... sultry but...can't really describe it...it's a wonderful cropping job.
22! eeek! i can't express my love enough about this one. it's just too perfect :)
25: good god, those cheekbones should be declared lethal weapons; i love how that's all that on display there (along with an eye, which i just love).
The buffy ones are also fab! (and i'm sure you'll be able to tell the one I like the best; I love close-ups of faces...and her smile *cuddles her*). Also really like 59: her eye is just so sharp and bright; really effective!
These are just incredible! The black and white, the cropping... it is all beautiful. I snagged a bunch. Let's see... I took 7, 16, 33, 61, and 70. I especially love the SMG ones. I love Buffy but for whatever reason, I don't usually think she looks pretty in most of the icons I see. These, however, are breathtaking.
Thanks so much for the sweet feedback. Although the pictures did start out black and white (I'm simply cropped and sharpened, and adjusted tone) but it's one of my favorite mediums too!
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed 'em! And I couldn't help making a ton of SMG - she really does look lovely in black and white...
Thanks lady! Glad you liked the Seth one -it's one of my favorites of this set - he's just so adorable cuddling up with dogs and looking quite wolfish himself. And i figure I've gotta try something, otherwise my icons will just look the same over and over again, right?
Now, as for busy, I keep trying, but i just haven't been leaning in that direction lately... but someday!

Again though...very striking set!
