Icons - John Sheppard, bare  
Believe it or not, an afternoon spent in Photoshop has stirred the creative juices, so I'm going to spend the evening writing. But first, I thought I'd post the fruits of my labors. There are a few icons and a wallpaper, based on the theme "bare." Yes, I seem to be obsessed with Sheppard/Flanigan of late, but I think it's because of that marvelous face! All those lines and curves and shadows and texture just appeal to my artist's side (and a few other places as well). I promise to give Rodney/Hewlett the same attention. The wallpaper won't be for everyone I'm sure, but the more I studied this particular photo and then the colors, the more I thought of the John in my story Lament of Consequence. So I pulled a few lines from the story. Certainly, anything is snaggable if you like, I just ask that you credit.

Now for my credit. The cap is courtesy of the wonderful [info]crysothemis.

And again, to that lovely, wonderful, anonymous person... thank you so much for the extra icon space. I promise I'll use it wisely. ;-)

ummm... is something wrong with the pic files? cause I'm not seeing icons or the wallpaper?

I ran into a problem with the LJ cut and had to repost. Can you see them now? *crosses fingers*
neevebrody[info]neevebrody on October 18th, 2008 10:49 pm (UTC)
I just figured it out, give me a sec.

::pouts::
Same, here.
Which means that your source is misbehaving.

Sorry, my LJ she is crazy - fixed now!!!!

If you are hosting them with LJ's scrapbook, check your folder/gallery security settings. If you have it set for private or friends only, most won't be able to view them, even by direct linkage.
neevebrody[info]neevebrody on October 18th, 2008 10:53 pm (UTC)
Exactly, don't know how they got screwed up. But they should be there now.
kensieg[info]kensieg on October 18th, 2008 10:52 pm (UTC)
I can't see them either.
neevebrody[info]neevebrody on October 18th, 2008 10:53 pm (UTC)
Sorry, hon. Fixed now, let me know if not.

Besides the GUH factor (because, well, really, I don't have to spell THAT out for anybody, right?), the way you changed the focus by cropping and the different layers changed the way I perceived who he was. In that light, the banner was extraordinary because his eyes made him appear so vulnerable and young.

P.S. Collarbone = yummyliscious!
neevebrody: John desat[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 04:00 am (UTC)
With the banner, I just kept looking at the light and the swirls together with the contours of his face and shoulders and going, "Wow."

And yes, the collarbone is my OTO (one true obsession).

I approve this theme!
neevebrody: johnflare[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 04:02 am (UTC)
Rodney's next! I found some great caps from Duet.
Kath[info]nakedwesley on October 18th, 2008 11:51 pm (UTC)
Very pretty subject! Taking #7. Thank you.
neevebrody: johnflare[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 04:03 am (UTC)
So pretty! Enjoy your icon.
Mischief: SGAAtlantisShep[info]mischief5 on October 18th, 2008 11:52 pm (UTC)
Oooh! May I snag a couple? Will credit!
neevebrody: John desat[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 04:03 am (UTC)
Of course! Enjoy them.
Naarna: SGA Sheppard golfing[info]princess_janine on October 19th, 2008 12:02 am (UTC)
*GUH!* Shiny! =)

Can't really decide which one I should snag...
But should I ever come to a decision, I will of course credit!
neevebrody: johnflare[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 04:04 am (UTC)
Thanks. It is a tough decision, isn't it?

OOh #1. That's a nice, lickable place. Great job.
neevebrody: johnflare[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:34 pm (UTC)
Extremely lickable! Thanks.
Elayna: Sheppard flyboy[info]elayna88 on October 19th, 2008 05:20 am (UTC)
I snagged 1 and 4, because... guh. Thank you!
neevebrody: John desat[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:34 pm (UTC)
You're welcome! Enjoy them.

Oooooh, those are truly some of the most attractive shots I've ever seen of John—you make him look both rough/human, and sculpted. And I'm a sucker for starbursts & apparent points of lighting. Nice nice nice!

I would dearly love to see you do magic to Rodney too! :: is greedy ::

neevebrody: johnflare[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:36 pm (UTC)
Thank you! I liked the points of light as well. I totally intend to give Rodney the same treatment!

Collar bones, GUH *is dead* Those are lovely!
neevebrody: johnshoulder-poster[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:37 pm (UTC)
Thank you! Yes, collarbones are an obsession and the Flan's could be an all day study!

So Beautiful! And extra points for listening to Pearl Jam ;)
neevebrody: John desat[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:39 pm (UTC)
Thanks! I have mostly old stuff from PJ, but I get kind of mesmerized by Vetter's voice.
Ozsaur: Wistful John[info]ozsaur on October 19th, 2008 02:08 pm (UTC)
Ohhh, these are gorgeous!
neevebrody[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 02:40 pm (UTC)
Thank you! Do they look greenish to you? I'm on my computer at work and they look greenish. Anyway, I'm glad you like them. I think I could have sat and studied that pic all day.

I really like #8 and the wallpaper is stunning. It pushes the boundaries in a way that makes you go 'ouch'.
neevebrody: John desat[info]neevebrody on October 19th, 2008 09:23 pm (UTC)
Thank you! I played around with different colors and the blue just worked so well with my perception of John as bare. And I'm glad you like the WP, the story pushed the boundaries of trust and friendship between the two, and the photo just reminded me so much of that John.

Glad you liked these.
Polgara: danny and jack[info]polgara_5 on October 20th, 2008 01:25 am (UTC)

Mmm, so nice. I'm taking number 1 if you don't mind. It's all about the collar bone. And the shoulder. And the dog tags. And the chest hair. And the lips. And the...
neevebrody: johncigar1[info]neevebrody on November 6th, 2008 04:02 pm (UTC)
Mmmmm, yes it is! Enjoy the icon!
Maggie: John smile shrine[info]maggie77 on November 5th, 2008 05:47 am (UTC)
Ooooo.... Very nice! I snagged #3 & 7.

Thanks!

Thank you!! Enjoy them!
liresius: John ~ Dog Tags[info]liresius on January 3rd, 2009 03:52 am (UTC)
Ooh lovely, lovely icons! Yummy shoulders and chest hair!

Love the tones of the wall - kind of a blend of silk and metallic texture. Gorgeous!
neevebrody: johnshoulder-poster[info]neevebrody on January 3rd, 2009 04:07 am (UTC)
Oh, thank you so much dear. But I'm afraid I'm such a novice. I want so much to learn about using textures and creating collages and manips and I've tried to teach myself *rolls eyes* but, yeah.

I've bookmarked a few tutorials and I'm hoping they can get me going in the right direction. I have an artist's eye, but the (graphic) ability... not so much. ;)

Anyway, glad you liked these. I got a bit obsessed with that collarbone.
