hmm...

Color, or B&W?

  

Also, I cannot decide between these 2 icons (the first by onigiricons, and the second by the_sun_is_up.)  I prefer the cropping on the first, but the coloring on the second...

 

*ponders*

Color, definitely.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. The problem with modern comic book coloring when it comes to icons is that they tend to have such a stark contrast that text gets difficult...

[siedhr.livejournal.com]

I like the colored one more as well.

And who's the bishie with the awesome blade?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

This this one? Mai from Avatar. Who...uhm...is a girl.

[siedhr.livejournal.com]

Well, with Japanese-style art one can never be sure. Hence why I used bishie which can also stand for bishoujo.
And damn, I really don't have time to watch another series. "goes to download it"

I loove that blade design.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Avatar is stuffed full of badass girls.

In general, the guys in Avatar look more like guys than the average anime/manga bishie. Mai and Azula (maybe Suki, come to think of it, if you take anime's more effeminate males into consideration) do have designs in similar with some bishounen, though.

Mai has, like, thousands of blades. None of which you want to be near.

That icon was enough to send me to the download page post-haste. But appreciate the extra pimping.

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

Score another one for Team Avatar Fandom.

[hello-scorpling.livejournal.com]

One more vote for colored. :)

The Mai one is harder. I personally would go for the left one, since I have a preference for warm colors, and I like the composition more.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the composition on the left conveys "badass" a little better, but the one on the right is a lot crisper...

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I love the colour option, and as always - great caption, Megan!

Among the two others I like the second one more

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

The page cracked me up because they were passed out and it was *such* a classic clench pose, and the second they opened their eyes...

(They are former lovers, though.)

[paperclipchains.livejournal.com]

I like black and white and the one on the left, respectively.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I suspect I will flipflop between the color and B&W.

[artillie.livejournal.com]

For the Mai icon, the second one. Colouring > cropping, always.

[kingcrankycat.livejournal.com]

Colored -- and I'm completely the opposite on the Mai pics, I like the colors in the first and crop of the second... Between the two I'd probably go with the second

[mystickeeper.livejournal.com]

You know which one I like!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

indeed.

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

Coloured.

And I like the first Mai one better. My vote is based off the backgrounds.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

A good point.

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Original

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Slightly updated

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Hmmm slightly more blue

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Sparkly knife...

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

Soft glow filter...

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Niiiice.

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

I'm using Blue Seed icons for mouthy-dames community and they were very dark and yellow, so I had to learn how to brighten them. Let me know if you want any of those and I'll delete the rest :)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I am mostly looking at sparkly knife and the one right above it. But will be unable to save either until after work.

The Blue Seeds icons crack me up.

[ilona-andrews.livejournal.com]

I lurves my Blue Seed.

Just drop me a line when you saved, so I can clear them out. :P

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

DONE!

Thank you!

(I suck w/ yellowish caps in general...yellowish and orangish.)
