True Blood and Generation Kill icons and graphics

+ 19 True Blood icons - misc. eps - Bill, Sookie, Eric, Pam, Tara, Jessica, Dawn
+ 33 True Blood icons with Anne Taintor caption - most characters
+ 25 Generation Kill icons - misc. eps mostly Brad
+ 2 Generation Kill Friends Only Banners
+ 1 Generarion Kill Header - Iceman
+ 1 Generation Kill Collage/wallpaper - Iceman

Sorry no stock icons this time.

I feel the need to explain the True Blood Anne Taintor caption icons.
I had this idea. What I thought was an original idea. But then I discovered that someone had already done it with Stargate.

No matter. I decided to do it anyway because my idea was slightly different. Let me explain.

I bought this little book by Anne Taintor calledI can't be good all the time and I thought it would be fun to make up some similar captions for True Blood and make icons out of them. Well, I came up with one caption (it's the first one). It's harder than you think, unless you are naturally inclined to think this way. And evidently I'm not. So I figured I'd just use Anne Taintor's original captions. I hope she doesn't mind. No copyright infringement is intended, this is just for fun and not for profit.

I soon discovered that True Blood and Anne Taintor mix exceptionally well together. Hee.

It's taken me a while to get these done because the text is just tedious. But it was fun and I hope at least a few of you like these. This will probably be the only batch of these I make. There are quite a few. Some I made twice for the same character because I forgot I'd already made one.

If you don't see a favorite Anne Taintor caption of your's and you would like to see it with a particular character let me know and I will make it. :)

Also, the Anne Taintor caption icons are by no means supposed to be artsy icons. They are purely for fun.

These Anne Taintor True Blood icons are dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] morwen_peredhil.

This is what I started out with when I was making the "Iceman Header". I think it would be an OK wallpaper if you want to use it as that. I saved it in two formats png and jpg. If you want the thumbnail, feel free to grab that as well. Sorry, I can't make this any larger. You could put it on a black background if you have a larger size monitor, which is what I'll be doing. :)

These are great! I snagged 35 and 46.

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! 35 is one of my favorites. Enjoy! :)

[identity profile] vtress29.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
These are all so great! I'm tempted to grab one of the Friends Only banners.. probably the first one.

I DID grab Icon 46. It was too good to pass up.

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Some of those captions fit more than one character. It's so funny. There is the one caption that would fit every character on TB.

"Someone was going to have to set a bad example"

Hee.

love it thanks! ^^u

The Anne Tainter quote icons I think fit TB perfectly! I love the Plan B and 'true, there were side effects' ones. These are all wonderful! I snagged a couple and will credit. Thanks for sharing!

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I was amazed at how well the captions fit TB once I started thinking about what pics to put with them.

You're welcome. :)

[identity profile] yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderful icons!!! From the TB set, I've taken #18. From the Tainter set, I've taken #29 and 32. From the GK set, I've taken #62 and 68.

I really hope Stark Sands makes some more good movies. I thought he was terrific in GK. I've checked IMDb.com and he hasn't been in anything else that looks appealing to me.

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Enjoy the icons. Thanks. :)

Stark Sands gives me a Matt Damon vibe. I think they both have that innocent quality as well as a touch of mischieviousness.

Thank you very much. :)

[identity profile] empressvesica.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Love LOVE the Taintor icons. And yes, [livejournal.com profile] kaaatie did some of these long long ago for both SGA and Firefly...but that doesn't mean more fandoms couldn't benefit from the wonderful mishmash of Taintor's snark and our beloved imaginary people. :D

I'm finding out about more fandoms with Taintor captions. I just love the way the captions are worded. So funny.

Thanks for commenting. :)

[identity profile] keeper-of-stars.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
.....! Brilliant! I absolutley love Anne Taintor. I've seen A.T. icons for Pushing Daisies and Sports Night as well. But I must admit, the captions fit these pics way better than any I've seen. Excellent job! One thing though... where's Terry?!?! :P

These really are to perfect. Snagging #37.

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
I try to make icons of as many of the characters as I can. I keep forgetting about Terry. I'll make some icons of him next time. And Sam. Thanks so much for commenting. Enjoy! :)

these are excellent!

[identity profile] damalursol.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 07:52 am (UTC)(link)

do you know where to find the Stargate/Taintor ones?

Re: these are excellent!

[identity profile] endlessdeep.livejournal.com 2008-12-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. :)

Someone mentioned that [livejournal.com profile] kaaatie made the Stargate Taintor icons.

I just ran across it recently when I picked up one of her little books. I laughed and laughed. I was amazed how well it works with True Blood. There is even a "Bite me" caption. lol.

I think I may have taken almost all of the True Blood ones. Loved the Anne Taintors! I only recently became a fan of TB and this set of icons rock my world. Thank you so much! Will credit when used and even though I have no great ideas, I do look forward to more great things in the future! :)
