( this looks...completely ridiculous )

My usual free online image editor, Picmonkey, no longer likes the version of Safari that I'm using, so for icons 25-41 I was experimenting with another free online image editor, BeFunky. For icon making I like quick, easy to use editors. Verdict: very similiar to Picmonkey for basic icons, although a bit more awkward to resize. Anyway, here be icons.

01-08: America Chavez icons from Young Avengers, as requested by franztastisch. I didn't get to scan any, so these are just from online images.
09-11: AU Gold icons, because I believe these were needed?
12-24: ladies writing
25-41: ladies reading

Examples:


( I'm good for the damages )

This week the first issue of the new Black Widow comic was released! There's a discussion post with spoilers over at be_compromised here, but basically I LOVE the art and I have high hopes for the story.

I also found out that there's a new run of Serenity comics happening! Serenity: Leaves on the Wind seems to be a continauation of events after the film and the other tie-in comics we've had so far. First issue is out at the end of January and, oh my heart, the cover art looks amazing.

So today's icon post is brought to you by a love of comics art, and a healthy dose of 'oh, I forgot I had all these Agents of SHIELD and other random ones in my icon folder'.

PS. As a general rule, when I make icons from comics art I get the art from the artist's own websites, promotional images, or other stuff posted online. Sometimes I manage to scan stuff, but that means a trip to someone that actually has a scanner. So if anyone wants icons of specific comic art, just a heads up that if you scan it yourself and send me the image or link me to it I would be more than happy to play with the pretties :)


01-03: The Hobbit (Desolation of Smaug promotional images)
14-15: Agents of SHIELD (mostly promotional images; no spoilers)
16: Hawkeye (art by David Aja
17: Clint & Natasha (art by Phil Noto)
18-23: art for forthcoming issues of Black Widow (art by Phil Noto)
24-36: cover art for Serenity: Leaves On The Wind (24 & 25 art Jeanty variant cover, 26-26 Dos Santos regular covers; spoiler if you haven't read Float Out)

( bookgasms and zzzz sssandwiches aka ICONS BEHIND THE CUT )

34 icons from a bunch of Skottie Young's baby variant covers and the Skottie Young film poster (that they're trying to use to entice those of us in the UK to buy an Avengers boxset when our boxset still isn't as shiny as the US one, but it has Skottie Young artwork, ooo that's mean in a that's-actually-tempting way!)

Examples:

New Saga is out this Wednesday! Can't wait! For those (few) of you who haven't heard of it, it's an Image comic written by Brain K. Vaughan with art by Fiona Staples. It's smart, funny, arty, and won lots of awards for good reason. I've been telling franztastisch that I would make Saga icons for ages, so here you go, sunshine, and thank you so very much for recommending this series to me!

And then have a pile of other icons too, because icons *grins*.

01-18: Saga; art by Fiona Staples
19-20: Avengers Assemble (the Clint/Natasha kiss cover)
21-28: Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye (Clint, Kate, the ladies, Pizza Dog)
29-30: Amanda Palmer

Wow, I can't believe Prompathon 2013 is almost over! I bring you requests and pretties. I haven't had time to read and look at all the wonderful creations yet, or follow much of the chatter this year, so if I'm missing anything that you feel needs icon-ing just let me know :) Enjoy!

Examples:



( ICONS BEHIND THE CUT: must be promptathon time )

And the all important where they come from:
01-07: shenshen77 requested Bourne and Avengers crossover icons
08-15: alphaflyer requested James Bond and Avegers crossover icons - you'll have to forgive me for 15, I couldn't resist
16-17: are from undyinglovee's gorgeous manip, please credit them as well
18-19: are from anuna_81's fic Those arms
20-22: are from lar_laugh's fic Rip Apart the World
23-24: are from franztastisch's Postcard of a Painting
25-26: are from enigma731 and _samalander's With an Ocean in the Way
27-28: are from 1812 Quincy by alphaflyer
29-30: have some Age of Ultron Natasha thanks to enigma731's Here at the End of the World
34-36: nessataleweaver and me were chatting and lar_laughs said to icon it; and I'm obliging that way *grins*

A mixed batch of icons that proves just how far behind I am with my online to-do list. So: Hawkeye #6 icons that I promised franztastisch ages ago, #32-35 are because of things lar_laughs said, #35 because of anuna_81 (although I think she had bunnies in mind), and the rest are ones that were made during my Marvel Ladies icon making but didn't fit that theme.

01-18: from Captain America
19-29: from Thor
30-35: Avengers themed
36-56: from Hawkeye #6 by Fraction and Aja
57-76: from The Amazing Spider Man

Examples:



( icons behind the cut: this is not a test )

I'm feeling the comics love today. My Hawkeye #5 has been dispatched and my other half got me Avengers #1 (Marvel Now!) - interesting start, bold artwork, and he got me the one with the baby Avengers varient cover :D


( baby Avengers cover behind the cut, plus a great Clint and Natasha panel )

I wanted to share that cover and panel, because they make me smile a lot, and I thought that whilst I was doing some comics scanning I'd make a few icons too. So here's 17 icons from Hawkeye #1-#3 and Avengers #1.

Examples:
