farscape_20in20 - Round 13

This is my entry for the 13th round of [livejournal.com profile] farscape_20in20. I had difficulties making this set (I had computer-related problems for the whole month), so I'm just happy I managed to make something in time!
Credit if you take and please comment :) Also, I have no idea why the table is frelled up like this, but since you can still see the icons, I guess it's fine :P

This is an awesome set. What stands out most to me here is the cropping; I love what you've done with it, each crop is really good, but I especially love the uniqueness of 4.4 and 2.5.

The best of these sets to me is clearly ACs. It's really cohesive and has a strong theme. Love the closeups. The more muted colors with the occasional brighter spot work great. My favorites are the already mentioned 4 (I can't get over how pretty the crop is, and how shiny and bright her curls are<3 I'm snurching that one), and 3, which I also took cause it's lovely. The contrast is awesome but there's something else about it too, something really original and interesting - it looks really sharp without being oversharpened, as if you used some sort of interesting filter. Plus that it's really scorpy-like and scary with the ominous darkness and I LOOOOOVE stuff like that. <3 The others in that set are good too, I love the blue lights and the contrast in 5, the muted colors and general feel of 1 and the crop and image choice of 2.

I like that you chose to do only Chiana for your first set :D she's always so pretty. #1 is really good with the shiny effect (I must be entering one of my gayer phases again. Somehow I'm reeally attracted to everything shiny right now, lol). #2 has a lovely image choice and it looks a bit sad for some reason (in a good way). Love the softness. #3 is an awesome crop again and #4 is an interesting one, the stark contrast is great. I also love the dramatic shadow/lights in #5.

Secondary characters is a really good set as well. Why am I not surprised to see two Bracas here? :DD But that's good cause there's never enough of him. I like how the middle three are profile shots. Like i said, #5 is my absolute favorite and I'll take that one too :), she's so charming and pretty in it, I like everything about it. The bright reds are risky but look lovely on my screen. It's really fiery and warm. I also adore the background work on #4, contrast of #1 and the coloring of #2.

In the alien set my favorite is definitely #1. I love the coloring, it's really eye-catching and I'm a big fan of cyan so... :D And I love Raxil and I'm glad to see two of her here. Anyway, I really like the background on that one two and the bright colors. I also like the yellows in #2 and it has a nice funny look in general. I also like #5, it's nice to see some good old center cropping too in a set where most icons are sidecropped ;)

Great job, especially with the gorgeous AC set! I'm glad you didn't give up despite the computer problems.

I love these icons so much I can't even...GUH. They are GORGEOUS! You get better and better every round and I get so excited when I see you have a new set.

Everything here is so glowing and vibrant.

Set 1 - PURE LOVE. I am taking all of them. I don't know if I'll use them, but I have to have them LOL 1 has such a lovely crop and the light over her shoulder...I adore the composition and coloring of 2. The mood of 3 is just right...a little darker...it's haunting. 4 and 5 capture such a melancholic mood, and I really like the golden tones combined with that, it's a nice balance.

Set 2 - I always love your Braca icons and these are no exception, I especially like the rays of light in 2. Zhaan is startlingly beautiful and I love the texture/fake background you used with Jool. Sikozu is AWESOME. Snurching that one too.

Set 3 - great selection of characters and caps and especially your colors. Farscape is such a colorful, carnival of a show, and this captured that.

Set 4 - beautiful, beautiful closeups and crops, and I especially love your coloring on 2, 3, and 4. So dramatic and deep. I snurched 4 too, it's incredible! The crop is perfect.

I hope your computer problems are all fixed!
