OK, so here's the deal... Rachel was looking around at LJ Icons, and found
An Icon from an
Alan Cumming Set on a
SmutPage, which she said was just too perfect for me. And I have to agree -- Nightcrawler rocks in so many ways. He was one of my favorie Marvel characters since I was a kid, and when they really brought his German-Catholic character out in the X2 movie, that just kiked ass.
I'm a little undecided, though. I like the picture, but... Well, I've tried my hand at a few others, so I need opinions. Do you like the Original, MyVersion00, MyVersion01, or MyVersion10? Do you have any suggestions for how I might fix my icons if they're hard to read or cramped or something? I have the
Source File that I used, too.
| Original | MyVersion00 | MyVersion01 | MyVersion10 |
 |  |  |  |
Update: Thanks to a great bit of help from Mrs. Dawn, and a suggestion from Rachel, I have chosen... MyVersion11!
| MyVersion11 |

I have to agree that Cumming rocks. I liked him at Nightcrawler so much that that alone is enough for me to want the X2 DVD for Christmas. The trouble is the the picture just... If you didn't KNOW (which, right now most probably would) that he's Nightcrawler, you'd never guess. just some guy with black skin and yellow eyes.
What I really like about my SourceFile is the Roman Collar -- that just did it for me. Because of that, I like MyVersion01, because it has the best shot of the collar, but I think the words are too light, which is why I tried doing MyVersion10 with the back background, so...

In awe of the coolness - and such.
