Hello, dears! How is it going?
I'm realizing this is my first (icon) post of the year, though I have made several graphics for various icontests but I haven't yet posted them here: I hope I'll remember to post them asap!
This is my first entry for [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo. Man, I love this community, it's so inspiring! But I usually don't have enough time anymore to make lots of icons for communities so it's hard I can manage to do something for this beautiful and inspiring community. I really can't explain why it's so hard to make lots of icons nowadays, I used to make even 40 icons in a day and now I can manage to finish a maximum of 5 graphics per day: it's very strange!
Anyway, going back to this challenge, it was about noir inspirations, so I decided to make not only icons inspired by noir films in techniques, but I chose pictures that reminded me of this genre, like photoshoots and screencaps from noir-ish productions. I tried my best to not make them all in chiaroscuro - it's like my favourite technique EVER - and I'm aware that some of them aren't very good, but I put all my efforts here and, as I said, some of them were really rushed because time is ticking! Anyway, hope you like them and that the overall result isn't that bad!
Enjoy!

Hi!
As I promised, here you are a large batch of icons! I've made most of them for challenges like [livejournal.com profile] the7days, [livejournal.com profile] lims_movie, [livejournal.com profile] movieslims, [livejournal.com profile] comics_ic, [livejournal.com profile] ouatchallenge and [livejournal.com profile] genre_lims, but there are some from incomplete sets that I didn't manage to post in time. I've made these ones in April/September, but some of them are even older (and very older!): you can identify them for their crappiness. In the past months I was very busy and stressed because of moving, so I hadn't lots of time to dedicate to the icon community. I hope I'll be able to enter more icons soon and to participate to some 20in20s.

Hello, it's me again!
Today I'd like to post various graphics made for some stills challenges and lims communities. The good news is that I won again at [livejournal.com profile] movieslims and that I placed second at [livejournal.com profile] lims_tvandfilm. I'm so happy of those results, because this means that my icons are really appreciated and that my style is improving. The other icons were made for [livejournal.com profile] comics_ic, [livejournal.com profile] the_histories, [livejournal.com profile] iimpossibletask, [livejournal.com profile] the20rings, [livejournal.com profile] lims_movie and [livejournal.com profile] shire_icontest.

Hello, my dears! How's going?
It's time for a rl update!
Well, there isn't anything special in my life:  I am still in search of a job (how difficoult is to find a good one!) and I spend almost all the day in front of my computer. But there are two good reasons for doing it:
1. I'm making a lot of graphics! I don't know why, but I'm very creative in these days! So expect a very big icon post soon, lol! And my efforts were recognised: I win my first ever lims challenge!
2. I'm finally writing! I recently bought a notebok (a Sony Vaio) and I began my book. I didn't expect that would be so easy for me, but I have to say that it's turning out well. At least, I am not blocked.
Now, on fandom side! I have developped a new addiction! I am currently watching Robin Hood, the BBC series starring Richard Armitage. I should say that I watch it only for Richard, but I have to be honest, it's a very nice show. Despite the bad screenplay, the bad costumes and the ugly video editing, I like it. Maybe it's because is a simple series without high pretensions, but it catched me! And Richard character is obviously my favourite: I cannot explain why Marian prefers Robin to Guy. He has a more interesting personality and he's so sweet with her. Anyway, she left him for the fans, hahaha! I also restart to watch Elementary. I have nothing to say about it, because the 2nd season is as good as the first one. So it's all okay for me.
Now, let's talk about some new movies I watched. The last month I talked only of the Oscar's ones, so I would like to give a word about the other ones I liked. On February and March I went a lot to the cinema and I saw "I, Frankenstein", "The Counselor", "Winter's Tale", "Saving Mr. Banks", "La Belle et La Bete" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". I liked almost every film that I listed and I would suggest you to watch them all. But let's talk about Cap that I saw last Thursday! Oh, gosh, it was an amazing film! Captain America's movies are so original and different than the other ones! I really liked it! Well, if you want to know how muck I liked them, just check the votes on my scrapbook!
I'd also like to talk about some books I read this year. I have discovered the ones of Dan Brown (well, I knew them, since I loved the movies) and I decided to read them. They're truly amazing! Really, I loved them so much! I read only the ones about Robert Langdon, but I have planned to buy the other ones! Another book I read is North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Well, I loved it and now I'm addicted with it! And I was so surprised that the mini-series is so close to it! Wow, you should read it. Now I've added another "Mr." to my list of flawless men: Darcy, Rochester and Thornton! Hahaha!
I think I have said enough to tire you, so I leave you with the promise of a huge graphic post: it'll come soon!
Hugs,
Gloria.

P.S. Have you seen that Orlando Bloom finally got a star in the Walk of Fame? The ceremony was yesterday and I watched it live in streaming: it was so emotional being close to him! Well, he deserved it and I'm so proud of him! ♥
