1-25 Aang
26-27 Aang and friends

So, um. How I ended up making a hundred plus A:TLA icons.

I liked the show a lot, and when I watch shows in genres that are relatively unfamiliar to me, I try to pay attention to the structures of the genre so that I can figure out what the show is trying to do. Anyway, one of the ways I do this, sometimes, is through screencaps and iconing, because screencaps and iconing involve figuring out how a show frames the characters and the scenes, how it conveys emotion, how it plays with space and color and things.

And I liked Avatar, and starting with the second season -- I'd watched the first mostly while doing other things -- I started screencapping it to try to get a sense of the genre, and then I started iconing it, and then I didn't stop. And then today I was having a shitty day, and I thought, fuck it, I will just upload all those icons that I made and then enjoy looking at a table filled with all the awesome characters from Avatar. Because they are awesome. Hang on, I'm gonna go be reminded of how awesome they are some more.

I already told you this, but PRETTY SOURCE IS PRETTY! It bears repeating.

[eruthros]

You would liiike it, I think! Esp. Azula and Zuko, haha.

[were_duck]

OMG I had to scroll past because I am still in season one and don't want to be spoiled, but I am definitely coming back to savor these later. Are they for sharing?

I really like what you said about screencapping to figure out framing/emotions/what the show is trying to convey. That's a great way to approach the visual language of the show.

[eruthros]

They are absolutely for sharing!

I have genres/mediums I'm really good at (Canadian and USAmerican scifi) and genres/mediums that I'm just not (sitcoms, cartoons, comics, manga). So I find it helpful to try to parse out the visual language of those shows -- it helps me appreciate them! And makes the next cartoon easier. :)

[gloss]

I love these so much! ♥

[such_heights]

Oh, infinite yay! I am just about to finish S2 and feel I need MANY icons, thanks for making these!

[darkrose]

You are, like, totally brilliant and READ MY MIND. I just finished re-watching the series finale, and I was all, "I NEED ICONS". <3

[eruthros]

Ha, that is exactly how I felt after finishing the show, too!

[cesy]

I saved a bunch. I love how so many people are getting into the original source right now because of Racebending.

[eruthros]

Me too! I heard so many god things about it from people in the context of discussions of the movie that I eventually had to watch it.

[dhobikikutti]

Oh wow, if I could find someone to fit the words 'racebending revenge' across either 53 or 54, I would totally snag it for an official comm icon for dark_agenda.

[eruthros]

I can do that! I usually don't do text, but that's just because I can never think of anything interesting.

[dhobikikutti]

That would be sweet!

[eruthros]

Here's a link to an album of five options to start out with; if you'd like something changed or an entirely different concept let me know.

[dark_administrator]

So call me an idiot but I can't figure out how to see the album, or find out where it is...? The link takes me to one image, the one called racebendingrevenge5.jpg and I can't find the rest!

(I really like it, and would just snag it happily except I am greedy and want to see the others too!)

[eruthros]

Weird! I'm still figuring out picasa -- sometimes it doesn't do things the way I think it should. This link might be better, but it'll display the icons fuzzy and oversized unless they're clicked on.

[dark_administrator]

That worked! I snagged the original one because Katara is angry, and I like that. <3 Thank you so much, I already edited old posts to add it in!

[somnolentblue]

Oh, these are lovely, and I am ridiculously happy gazing upon the table of awesome. Avatar!

[oliviacirce]

YAY. I am snagging a whole bunch of these, because they are wonderful. <3

[boundbooks]

Thank you! I took 50, 52 and 65!

[cofax7]

Thank you! I grabbed #98.

[thegorgon]

Ooh, pretty. I've been looking for a good Avatar icon!! I snagged a bunch, thank you!

[jibrailis]

Snagged a few. Thank you for making these!

[were_duck]

Okay, I took a bunch of these because as you may have heard this is the BEST SHOW EVER and also I could fill up all my icon slots with these :) <3

[yasaman]

I've been on the lookout for Avatar icons! Thank you, taking a few of these!

[pseudo_tsuga]

Thank you! I'm taking 105 for sure and maybe a few others.

[holli]

These are so great! I took a few, thanks!

[xenakis]

Nabbing 87, 89 and 104!

:DDDD

[dancing_serpent]

um, yeah...Zuko on his knees...*drools*

[rosabelle]

Snagging 81. I love these. :D

[musesfool]

Ooh, pretty. I snagged a whole bunch. Thanks!

[rydra_wong]

Snagging 062, and will probably be coming back for more. Thanks!

[cesy]

They are very awesome.

[trascendenza]

These are wonderful! Snagging an Azula one now, and I suspect later I will come back for more :)

[kouredios]

I wandered in here looking for a pic of Katara and Momo together (since that's what my kids will be this Hallowe'en), so I'm snagging #59! Thanks!

[nonelvis]

Taking #65 -- thank you!

[(Anonymous)]

I love these! I think you did a great job of letting the emotions and expressions speak for themselves. =D I ended up taking a bunch, but I'll be sure to credit! Thanks!

[loligo]

Argh, why did I spend two hours searching for Avatar icons this morning when everything I need is right in this one post! If only I'd seen this first! Definitely grabbing #62, and probably more....

[fadedgeneration]

Yay, Appa! I was looking for Appa icons.

[scintilla10]

Oh, wow, this is just WONDERFUL. *_____*
