Empire Ants

This is a remake of a previous set that I over-pink-ened (which is now a word, deal with it) when trying to emphasize Toni's hair. I wasn't able to get all of them perfect, if only because she was directly under pink lighting in a few, but I think I did a decent job making the lighting better and the pink in her hair pop without an "everything is in a pink filter" look.


( Wait, I’m confused, is this real or are we playing a game? )

So, I photoshopped pink hair onto some of my Vanessa Morgan icons because her role as Toni is severely lacking in smiling and silliness. These were mostly made for my own purposes, but anyone's welcome to use them.


( Hair colour edits are so tedious. )

This is probably my last set of Toni for a while, if only because I'm not overly interested in sifting through screencaps from the third season. Just like I wasn't particularly interested in snagging her instances in 2.21. What can I say? I'm a grump about several plot elements on this show lately, but I'll spare you guys the rant since to each their own.

Anyway, this is a set from Riverdale 2.20 and 2.22, featuring some hair style goals and plenty of Toni's Serpents jacket. Cheryl and Jug appear in a few icons, as well.

You wanted the pink amped to eleven, right? No? Well, too late, I already did it. I honestly don't know how I didn't realize just how pink some of these came out when I was making them, but alas I'm a sucker for that hair. So here you go: Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz in Riverdale 2.10: The Blackboard Jungle (plus ten extras).

Aside from the first ten, which come from Instagram photos and my Photoshopping thereof, these icons were made using caps supplied by my friend Toby. ♥ They put a lot of time and effort into grabbing the caps and getting them to me despite my then-horrifically slow internet connection, and for that I'm super appreciative.


( It's very Lovecraftian... which I'm sure is the intention. But I gotta ask you: did you write this on a typewriter? )

Part two: icons 221-440 of my set featuring Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz in Riverdale season two episodes four through six. I may remake these at some point, because I'm not too happy with how my colouring and lighting turned out here.

Screencaps for this post came from currency.


( Now on to the next crashpad until my uncle stops locking me out. )

At this point, I might actually be a masochist for making myself deal with the shit lighting and colouring in Riverdale this often. Would you believe this isn't even the final set I plan to make of Toni? Well, believe it. Here's part one of a two-part set and I still have three more sets planned. Killmenow. I may remake these someday, because I'm not thrilled with the colouring I used. Too pink.

( All you do is demonize the Southside, so of course you think the Black Hood's from there. )

I sat by a window during an electrical storm to make these then spent nearly an hour fighting weather-impaired internet to upload them. So, y'know, I've lost all vestiges of sanity at this point. Nonetheless, here's a set of Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz in Riverdale 2.17: The Noose Tightens with a small number of extras from two screencaps of 2.18: A Night to Remember. (I don't particularly have any plans to icon the rest of 2.18, but I couldn't pass up the adorable hairstyle I added.)


( We got disconnected before she could say too much. )

Here's a set of Toni Topaz from Riverdale season two, episodes fourteen and sixteen. Features a small number of Cheryl-inclusive icons and enough pink to make your local goth cry.

This set has been remade here with better colour balance and lighting.


( Why don't you tell me what's bothering you, because clearly you're in a lot of pain. )

Here you go: the third and (as of yet) final set featuring photos from Vanessa Morgan's instagram account. There's a little bit of her role as Toni Topaz in Riverdale here, but it's still primarily blonde and brunette icons.

If you're looking for more of Vanessa as Toni, keep an eye out; I have several sets planned for the future.


( So many smiling icons in this batch! )

Set two of three featuring photos from Vanessa Morgan's instagram account. This time around, there's much less of the pink hair. She's mostly rocking blonde and some very pretty caramel shaded hair in these... and apparently quite fond of holding adorable puppers (primarily her Chihuahua, Yoshi).


( Where'd all the pink go? GASP! )
