Big Finish Icons

[thisbluespirit]

53 Big Finish icons, text and images. As I did many of these for naarmamo, some may be a little random, but bear with me - I'll definitely do some more when I can.

EEEEEE!!!

*makes with the grabby hands*

I have to have Lucie's Sarcasmo one, and Benny's Lion Provocation because they both still make me laugh, even after multiple listens!

Also going to snag a Menzies one, 'cos I DO want her to travel with ol' Sixie, and Eight's lost key = epic adventure. *giggles*

[thisbluespirit]

Glad you like them! :-)

Once I decided to do some text icons, too, your quote post was invaluable.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I'm glad it was useful for something besides amusing me!

And now I need to relisten to Benny's Story from Company of Friends.

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

Beautiful lot. Taking a few, will credit.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! :-)

Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I like penguins, can you tell?)

[thisbluespirit]

Heh, just a bit! :-)

[dragonessa24.livejournal.com]

OMG! Definitely taking the TARDIS and Frobisher ones. Love all the rest too. <3

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! Glad you liked them. :-)

[clocketpatch]

I need to have ALL of these. *happy face*

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks. I love that snowy TARDIS one, too - really nice!

[clocketpatch]

It's by justlook3 if you want to yoink it. I love TARDIS icons. I've got a whole collection of them that I ought to rotate through more frequently.

All hail the big talking bird!

(I have no idea what is going on in any of these, but Frobisher is awesome simply by the concept of him, i.e. "shapeshifting detective (who is not standardly humanoid)" IIRC? But the quotes are awesome. I may snaffle some when I am awaker than to use words like "standardly"... I've had a long weekend. *g*)

[thisbluespirit]

Yep, all hail Frobisher! :-)

Frobisher's fun. And, yes, he's a Whifferdill (a shape-shifter) who's a PI who likes to default to 'penguin' although he can do other things. He is not as tough as he likes to make out. Or a very good PI.

And, thanks! DW is always great for quotes, whichever version it is, audio, classic, new...

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

...I really have neither time nor money for audios at the moment, but I am asking you anyway what are some good introductory BFAs with Frobisher, for future reference. Because I know my own weaknesses with regard to shapeshifting investigate-y people, and also because I absolutely had to snaffle #47. *points*

[thisbluespirit]

Aw. The Frobisher icons were things I did for naarmamo, and I was determined to do that quote - and I wasn't quite sure it'd worked, but a lot of people (on that comm) have said they liked it. :-D

Happily for your pocket, unhappily for the further adventures of Whifferdills, Frobisher is only in two BFAs, and they are both penned by the talented Rob Shearman (who wrote Dalek for New Who - based on his audio Jubilee). Frobisher was originally from DWM's comic strip in the 80s, I believe - I think some of those comics are available as graphic novels, now, but I'm not sure which, other than the one with Six!

Anyway, they are The Holy Terror and The Maltese Penguin, both with Colin Baker as Six. The second was a shorter, one-off, Frobisher-centric story, so probably the best place to start (& where the quote comes from). The Holy Terror is brilliant, funny, creepy and chilling & not exactly about naturalism. (Most Rob Shearman scripts are like this to some degree or other).

Hahaha, fabulous as usual! I really like the backgrounds/textures you've used for the text icons, very retro. Also, who is that in 10/11? She looks like someone I should get to know.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you. The textures were by tiger_tyger (I discovered 100x100textures recently. My icons have become a lot prettier since. :-D), but they were lights on black, so I reversed the image - I liked the way they came out, so I'm glad you did!

10-11 is of Katarina Olsson as the HeadHunter - she's a recurring villain (ish) from the Eight and Lucie series of stories.

(35-39 are all from Full Fathom Five, btw. I was highly amused by how inappropriately happy Siri O'Neal looked as Ruth in the last one. Not at all as if she's in an evil AU...)

[belantana.livejournal.com]

No way, that's Ruth? I don't think she was happy once in the whole thing. Though there is something *slightly* smirky about her in 37 which implies she might be willing to shoot people before they shoot her.

[thisbluespirit]

:loL: No, I don't think she was! And, yep, that's Ruth. I wasn't supposed to be doing an icon of it, but it amused me a lot, so I did. :-)
