mollivanders:
1. Reply to this post with "not today," and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
mollivanders asked me about these:
Oh, man, I had the HARDEST time finding a Felicity/Oliver icon that I really liked, and that I thought looked pretty. A lot of the shippiest moments for them don’t translate well, maybe? Or just the fact that Arrow is a small fandom and not many people are making icons. Regardless, I ended up uploading this because I really loved how protective Oliver looks, and how Felicity seems sad, even though the color of the icon is this bright, cheerful yellow.
I love the intimacy of this scene; the curve of Alice’s spine, the slump of Luther’s GINORMOUS, ABLE TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD shoulders, that he’s looking at her (and in the context of the scene, has come to her home as a last resort).
This is an icon that is likely to be switched out if I find an icon that makes it clearer what is happening; this is Katniss having just watched Cinna being beaten and dragged off to be killed and seeing the arena for the first time. Which, bravo Capitol, that was some A+ psychological torture to start the Games off.
I have deleted this icon before and likely it’s days are numbered, but I just love how fierce Regina looks; her red lips, her polite snarl.
On the subject of lamenting how few people are iconning these days, but this was literally one of the very, very few icons of Moriarty/Natalie Dormer that I liked even a little bit. I like how severe and yet soft this icon is.

Do you follow boxedcolors? There are a lot of really good icon makers who post there.
No, but now I will!

*preens* I really loved capping that icon; the lighting was already perfect and it just captures Moriarty so well.
The Arrow and Luther icons are particularly gorgeous. You have great taste in choosing icons with great lighting (another one I'm thinking of is this: http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/122132738/7347427)
And man, do I feel you on the icon shortage.

I didn't realize you'd made this! *runs off to credit*
Coloring is something I really pay attention to with icons.

Yes! I feel like sometimes the best thing to google is " 'X' icons for RP" since the Dreamwidth RP communities are still fairly active.
You also always find great icons btw.

(I deliberately picked two very similar icons because I want to hear why you felt you wanted to have both of these.)

Oooh, that is a good idea. Thanks!
