A mix of some more old icons and new ones. As apparently the old ones weren't posted anywhere yet (judging by them not being uploaded), I could make a few improvements on some. It was interesting to look back at that time (also '07-09) and how my iconmaking was changing to how I do things now: Keeping layers that aren't visible in the finished icon, but are an important step; naming layers after what I've done with them (Holy shit, how had I not done that before?!) or after the maker if it's a texture; erasing oversharpened parts from sharpened layers and showing the unsharpened layer underneath; using Shadows/Highlights instead of Curves.

I even made a more complex icon (#4) back then! #7 is made from a layout I'd made for my old blog. #10: Hey, Sydney was standing in front of monitors, so of course I had to photoshop the cage porn from Lost 3x06 in. #14 (made 3 years ago) was the first Alias icon I had made in 9 years. Only last month did I properly pick up making Alias icons again. And I finally found a way to make a decent icon of Syd's chain swing (see #22), a moment I'd been wanting to icon since forever. \o/

OMG, I can't believe it! I missed one of Sam's frowny faces in Hollywood Babylon (probably because in that scene I was almost always looking at Dean)! So I made a new version of the 2x18 frowny faces collection wallpaper and icon.

( 7 icons & awards they won )

I've never made user info or FO banners or CSI headers (that weren't for my own layouts) before. shades_of_csi made me do it! (They wanted to see headers & banners in the application)
