...icons posted themselves

[so_out_of_ideas]

I mentioned last week that I had a ton of icons to post, but I haven't felt like uploading or posting anything this week. So, more old icons are forthcoming. I do also have 3 sets of claim icons that need to go up so I'm doing those tonight. If I feel like it, I'll also post some of the old ones I mentioned finding on my hard drive. Various fandoms on those.

One of my childhood memories is watching Superman I on TV at my grandmother's house. I don't know how old I was, but we moved when I was 7, so I couldn't have been much older than that. I think the Krypton and Fortress scenes enthralled me almost as much as Arrakis did when I watched Dune at Rene's. (I wrote about that when I posted my Dune claim icons.) Then at some point, my parents actually took my brother, sister, and I to the drive in to watch Superman III. I also used to watch the old George Reeves Superman with my Dad, so the Man of Steel and I have a long history.

I like every film and television incarnation of Superman, but I think that since Christopher Reeve was my introduction to the legend, he will always "be" Superman to me. Superman II is my favorite (Fortess...Krypton...shippy Clark/Lois goodness...is anyone surprised here? Yes I AM this bad.) Anyway, stormtrooperjoe commented on my Jor-El icon, which reminded me that I'd never finished iconning these movies. So, I hopped on over to icons100 and made a claim on the first one. Got finished that and started browsing through caps for Superman II. Ended up claiming Clark and Lois on iconic_ships for that one. But then I did the whole movie, plus variations on the sleeping scene like crazy. So, I'll also have a couple of insanely large posts on Superman II.

Jor-El is my favorite character, so you'll see a lot of him in the sets from the first movie. I'll have to make an alternate/extra post later, as usual, because I ended up with well over 300 icons from Superman I, and a lot more Jor-El than you see under the cut here. Also, it took some doing, but I finallly came up with a method of lighting Krypton that still makes the icons LOOK like Krypton but makes the characters clearly visible through the weird shadows that drove me up the wall on my last set. Hope you guys like them, and I hope it works as well as I think it does.

*Happy sigh* The only time you can get away with a red, yellow and blue icon table is when you're posting Superman icons.

"Got a Match?"
"Not since Superman"

My favorite quote and great for trivia! I loved Christopher Reeve/Superman! I dated a man that was a cross between a look alike Christopher Reeve & Nick Nolte when I was about 25. I spent many hours staring googley eyed and destroying the relationship!!!!

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

ROFL. Thank God I'm not the only one left who thinks Superman started with Dean Cain...

[nerca-beyul.livejournal.com]

Snagging some for... messengers. And just to stare at. lol.

*glomps at #2,7,8,9,67,72*

oooooooooooh!! *does happy lightsaber dance at #25*

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

lol. 25 almost didnt' work, either. I couldn't get Clark's face to not be like BRIGHT green when I lit the crystal.

Chris Reeve IS Superman, no doubt about it. I watched the TV show as a kid and liked it, but the movie just blew me away. Seeing it the first time from the second row of a packed theater just made all the more impact. I've always liked your icon work, so I know I'm going to be snagging lots of these!

[meneleth.livejournal.com]

PS. If you haven't yet, can you do one of That Smile at the end of the first movie, just before he flies away? I still melt when I see that!

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

I thought I pretty much did every cap I had. I don't own the movie on DVD...can you believe that? I have VHS copies...so I'm not sure what all was capped. When I go on an icon spree, I pretty much start at the beginning and go througoh the whole thing. The only time I skip stuff is when the caps are like so repetitive that EVEN I can't see any slight difference. But I'll look again and see.

These are wonderful. Thank you. It's nice to see some icons based on the version with Christopher Reeves. Childhood happiness.

oh my. I think I may die of Superman overstimulation! And that's a good thing. All your icons are gorgeous! I've been yearning for some GOOD ones, and yours are just what I imagined I wanted! I think I'll be adding your entries to my memories because I could never in a million years pick a favorite (and I'll likely be saving a ton of them, with credit to you for certain!).

Christopher Reeve IS Superman, and the hottest/sexiest/truest incarnation of that character (Clark Kent too!).

Love, love, love the icons!!
Okay, I think I'm done gushing over them now.
*looks at my pitiful icon in shame...* :)

[lteagleeyes.livejournal.com]

These are great icons!

I saved #11 & #84 and will credit :)

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[mer-moonchild.livejournal.com]

These look awesome! :D Would they be okay for me to use on KryptonSite's forums?

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

Sure. I've also got a ton from Superman II as well as some from Smallville, Supergirl and some animated Superman stuff. Feel free to poke around. A link back here if you use them on the forums would be cool, but not necessary.

[mer-moonchild.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I added this to memories. ♥

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks.

[brdwaybebe.livejournal.com]

[so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com]
