dS: icons for grabs

So, when I joined [livejournal.com profile] slidellra's C6D Tag Game, I decided to get to work making icons, but then [livejournal.com profile] spuffyduds tagged me, and she already has her happy icons, so I wrote her a very silly story instead, but I thought I would offer up the icons anyway. So here they is.

Spuffy gets first dibs, of course, but fair game after that. Credit or no, as you will.
I stole some screenshots from [livejournal.com profile] meresy so it's only fair you steal right back.

OMG, shoulder! *LOVES*

Any reference photos you want to send my way will be well appreciated. Maybe even used to endow Ray and/or Fraser. :)

I will look at Thai art per your rec. Don't think I've ever seen any of that type.

My instructors aren't biased, by the way. It's just the current reality. Far more women are available to model than men. It's the whole society that's to blame. Men aren't supposed to be the objects of the artist's gaze, right? Or the public's. They're the movers and shakers and we're the objects, so the myth goes. That is exactly what I'd like to question in images. I'm totally drawing Ray as Manet's courtesan or an Odalisque as soon as my skills are up to it. Maybe the Manet should be Fraser. Yeah. Hee!

I just want to do the same subversive thing in art that we're doing in fanfic. :)

Many of the pics I used for the icons (including nom-nomable Ray's shoulder) came from: meresy's Objectifying Ray picspam here (http://meresy.livejournal.com/41774.html)
and also here (http://meresy.livejournal.com/42520.html).

I have a lovely screenshot of Paul Gross' ass, supine, from Whale Music. :) My God he has a beautiful ass. I'll dig it up.

I loved her picspam post, yes, indeed! And your icons are still catching my eye and making me stare. And trust me, I've done a lot of staring at Ray's shoulders. As an artist, of course. ;)

For my own icons, I always use my own screencaps, though. I try to use my own screencaps for reference photos as well, unless I don't happen to have the original DVD of whatever. Which I don't have for Whale Music, so...YES, please! Thank you!!!!!! Can't wait.

Paul does have a gorgeous ass, and I have the perfect Fraser pose in mind to display it, suggested by an artsy beefcake photo found on the web. Actually, PG's whole body is just really, really well put together. He's very close to a modern "ideal figure," if any living being can really be that.

It's your responsibility to do so!

Okay, my sweet, I have uploaded screenshots for you (http://pics.livejournal.com/arrow00/tags/Paul+Gross/) of Paul's physique. :)
