I like these! #2 especially.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you!

[st_aurafina]

Oh, I love the colours! Gorgeous and warm.

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! Orange isn't usually something I'd go for, but I think this has made me rethink that quite a lot. :-)

[sallymn]

I know that profile :) Beautifully done!

[thisbluespirit]

Hee, it's a very distinctive profile! The prompt was orange; I couldn't leave out my favourite red-head in my favourite of his incarnations now, could I? ;-D

Thank you. <3

I like how subtle the text is on #1

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I was going to the text in grey (silver), but it turned out best that way when I did it, or I thought so.

I love the texure and softer colouring on the first one, it works really well together.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you!

[timetobegin]

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks!

The first one is beautiful! (Wondered why I recognised him when I've never watched Sapphire & Steel. Then I remembered he's in one of my favourite Classic Doctor Who adventures :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, yes, he gets everywhere! (And, yay, Robots of Death! Or at least, I assume you're not thinking of Mawdryn Undead, since the spaghetti on the head isn't as flattering... Hee.)

S&S, btw, if you're up for the old telly limits of Classic Who, is the most amazingly weird and beautiful bit of TV SF I've ever seen in my life. David Collings is in two of the serials and his job is basically to walk in via the rooftop, make lightbulbs glow out of nothing, and flirt with/annoy everyone, especially Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. Which is also amazing. (They are mysterious inhuman beings who fight Time, which is evil and always threatening to break out via flowers and clocks and torchlight and photographs and motorway service stations.)

*coughs* Not that it's a fandom I'm more than usually fanatical about, no, no... (sorry)

[turlough]

Definitely meant Robots of Death! Much as I love Mawdryn Undead it's sadly not because of David Collins.

I clearly must get around to watch this soon!

[luminousdaze]

That first icon is pretty, yay for Sapphire & Steel!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you! And, yes, S&S is great!
