24 Sapphire & Steel Icons for fandom10in30 TV Tropes Challenge

[thisbluespirit]

24 icons made for fandom10in30's TV Tropes Challenge, all for Sapphire & Steel. I had fun with the tropes, so there are 12 extra icons (plus 2 alternates). (They were all taken from S&S's page at TV Tropes).

Teaser:




The Bad Guys Win // Evil Counterpart // The Gadfly // Humans Are the Real Monsters // Metallic Motifs


Name & Name // No Sense of Personal Space // The Nth Doctor // The Stoic // Unresolved Sexual Tension


Alts & Extras:
Cosmic Horror Story // Gentle Giant // Glowing Eyes // Ironic Nursery Rhyme (x2)


Power Trio // Psychic Link // Sharp Dressed Man // Soul Brotha // Time Is Dangerous


When Props Attack // Smug Snake // + 2 Alternates



Credits: Screencaps my own; textures by whitebamboo, tinny. The usual rules apply - want, take, have. Comments = ♥ and hotlinkers will be destroyed by Time breaking in. The Nth Doctor - both Joanna Lumley and David Collings have played alternate versions of the Doctor.

Hahaha, "Sharp dressed man" is so accurate ;)

These are lovely, as usual!

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And I just looked up the S&S TV Tropes page and made icons for some of those they'd identified, so it was TV TRopes who called Silver that. Quite rightly, obv. With sparkles and everything.

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Can't forget the sparkles! *nods*

They're really nice. I especially like Steel's expression on "When Props Attack."

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I knew I had a screencap of that moment Steel find the Evil Pillow inside the capsule and fixes it with a glare, and its moment had come.

These are lovely. :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! <3

[romanajo123]

Wow these are pretty!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks very much!

[sailorkitty]

Awww, these all look lovely, the pigmentation really makes gives them that steely 80's sci-fi feel. Definitely taking the 'Metallic Motifs' one.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like them. XD

[liadt]

S&S was made for the tropes challenge! The no sense of personal space is so true:D

Nice spooky textures:)

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And, yes, that set of scratch-textures were absolutely perfect for it.

[singe]

Ooh, good stuff!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks!

[luppiters]

This really was a fun theme for a challenge and I love all you got to do with it - love the coloring (power trio! gadfly!), love the lighting (3 is such a good icon, and so is glowing eyes), love the grungy effect the textures give to this set. Your blocking is also great! I like how you used it to portray the tropes, like in 3, 5 and 6.
Wonderful job :'D

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And, ha, it's very appropriate that the blocking works, since few shows are so carefully blocked out as Sapphire and Steel!

[alexia_drake]

Great icons, my faves are: The Gadfly, Metallic Motifs, The Nth Doctor, and Glowing Eyes.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! <3

[delacourtings]

i love the composition of these, especially on name and name, no sense of personal space, and the nth doctor! the crops here are so great too, i really love the crops on nth doctor, glowing eyes, and power trio. i also really love the coloring and text on gadfly. beautiful set!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks! I was really pleased with Name & Name and No Sense of Personal Space myself, so I'm glad they worked for you. It was a really fun theme.

[purplecat]

I love so many of these!!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks!

[tinny]

Ooooh so many extras! <3

I especially love Name & Name (great composition!), No Sense of Personal Space, The Stoic (lovely texture use!), the Sharp Dressed Man, the Prop Attack, and the last Alternate (composition still great, text work awesome!).

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks!

Ooooh so many extras! <3

Ha, yes, there were too many fun possibilities with the topic!

The Stoic (lovely texture use!),

Well, it was a very nice texture! <3

And, ha, the last alternate with the text - that font didn't do an ampersand and I just could not get it or 'and' in that or any other font in a way that I liked, so I decided it was probably too busy with the text anyway. But I was really pleased with the way the base of it fell out generally, so I'm glad you liked it.
