15 Life on Mars icons

[ruuger]

As people on my f-list may have noticed, I'm currently on a bit of a Life on Mars kick. So, as a result, fifteen icons from the first two episodes of LoM:

1		2		3		4
5		6		7		8
9		10		11		12
13		14		15

Textures by cooloring and ytiralc.

As always, I'll add (or change) text on the icons at request.

They're brilliant! May I have both? (with credit, obviously). I can't decide which to use atm; I've got some comments still to reply to on that fic, so I'd like to get one of these onto my LJ to use on my replies. I may also go back and change the icon for each post (if LJ will let me do that).

Can you tell me how you got the screencap looking so "clean"? I really don't know the niceties of photoshopping yet; I find LOM screencaps always come out with sort of a murky green/brown overlay, and I don't know how to get rid of the murk without losing the colour.

Thanks again for doing these; they're perfect for my fic.

They're both all yours :)

Can you tell me how you got the screencap looking so "clean"?

Usually, I just randomly apply screen and soft light layers, and then fiddle with the curves until the image looks good :) For this particular image, I pretty much used the same technique I describe in this tutorial, only les 'radically' (as in, the screencap wasn't quite as blue as in the tutorial, so it needed less work).
