Empire Ants

I haven't seen the show, but I adore this guy's face so I knew these caps had to be iconned. This is the second half of a set too large for IJ's post sizes.

Thanks to eggplants for the caps~ ♥


( You’re free to dream whatever you want. )

The lighting and colouring on this show are nightmares. But hey, here's one more planned set finally tackled.


( Usually, you have more of a flourish to it. )

I rushed through these while unable to sleep. Honestly can't tell if I got the colours and sharpness off in some, or my eyes are just hella tired.

Also, not sure why I picked the two eps I did, but apparently the Debs icons also used them so I guess those were the albums I visited back in the day. The world may never know... or care.


( Sometimes we get so wrapped up in getting what we want, that we forget to ask ourselves why we wanted it in the first place. )

You think he makes silly faces? Just wait until you see what he can do with his ankles! I sorted by date when doing these, which means he's probably mid to late 20s in the beginning of the first half and he's in his 30s by the end of this half, which includes photos collected as recently as February 10, 2022.


( Don't be nibblin' on my giblets. )

Leather jackets and motorcycles... Honestly, what more could you possibly want?


( It's a five-year law program; you get your bachelor's and your JD all at once. )

Season four is ridiculously intense and makes it kinda difficult to side-focus on iconning while watching. Aka: I'm full of excuses why my pipe dream of making and posting one set of icons per day this entire month died in a fire.


( I hate how ugly this has gotten. )

Have some more of Jon Whitesell, whose face intrigues me. Most of these come from his Instagram with some at the end from varied sources. There's probably some duplicates in here along with several from his various roles on television.


( Who needs subtlety, right? )

I do not recommend trying to icon Riverdale if you enjoy being a sane human. What were they thinking when lighting and colour-grading this show?!

Sorry if any of these are grainy or overly brightened. I run my laptop on lowest brightness and tried to turn it up a few times to check these icons but it just made my eyes hurt.


( An ancient evil, long forgotten, has awoken. The embodiment of pure malice and cruelty. )

It took me a ridiculously long time - over a year, in fact, after the absolutely lovely capseroo fulfilled my request - to make these icons, but finally they're here! Back when I watched this movie, I could have sworn Vivian was a ginger, which I guess is just a testament to the terrible calibration of the television I used back then.

This set includes a small number of icons with glowy werewolf eyes and a white wolf. And like one single icon featuring a tattoo.


( I had the taste of blood and chocolate in my mouth, one as hateful as the other. )

Made on truebornstark's suggestion with screencaps from capseroo. ♥ With exception of the magenta levels being ridiculous in the last few, this is by far my favourite third of these. Interestingly, they're also the first third I made because I work backward through each set when applying corrections to icons.
