ayla kell, icons, make it or break it

Caps for these images come from the dj_capslock community on LJ. Ayla Kell is about 19 in these icons.

Please credit tryslora when using these icons (same on Dreamweaver, LJ, and IJ). I spend a lot of time capping (or finding images) and creating icons and request the politeness of proper credit.

Please comment when you take icons. I'm always curious to see where they go! Also, I like to know who is popular and who is not, because while a lot of icons are made for myself, I also do some work for requests/popular pbs.

Speaking of which, I do accept requests. However, I also have a full time job and family, so I'm not the quickest at filling requests. Please see my request post for details.

These icons are not bases! However, if you would like to add text, really, I'm quite flexible, but please ask first (and please share the finished product because again, infinitely curious and I love to see creativity in action).

	SHE IS ADORABLE and I will use her somewhere. I have no idea where or when, but SOMEDAY, because she is ADORABLE. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Isn't she??? I adore her so much. She has some fab expressions in the newest episodes that will get iconned because I cannot RESIST. I just have to icon them sans back brace, for broadest usage. I love the faces she makes. Make It or Break It has been a real cornucopia of girls making great faces. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was JUST talking to someone about how upset I was that I could not find Ayla Kell icons. YOU ARE A GODDESS FOR DOING THESE! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	beams You are more than welcome! I will have more someday, although I'm TRYING to take a break from my obsessive iconning of this show. She's an absolutely doll, and I already have a few more icons of her hanging out on my hard drive, waiting to build up another decent sized set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't break from it! We need makers like you to make beautiful icons of these people! -Enables- EEEEH! I cannot wait to see them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I DO need more Nico icons, and I've two more episodes with him in it, so I'll be doing those sometime soon. grins (Reply to this) (Parent)

	EEEEH I need icons for this lovely journal and I don't feel like making more than I already have. I'll be sure to credit! You've caught some great facial expressions. I'm snagging a few ^_^ (Reply to this) (Thread)

Glad to have them in use. You're welcome, and enjoy! I have some snippets of MIOBI that I paused on mid-iconing, so it's possible another small set will show up eventually. I think I have a small handful done that haven't been posted yet.

I love her facial expressions. She's a joy to icon, she just hasn't been the main focal character of the episodes I've been iconning!!

	She makes the greatest facial expressions. I've got a bunch of icons on another journal I made that I capped myself but they're dark and not as good quality as the ones here. I don't have a good program or caps to work with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am utterly obsessive about lighting and crispness in icons, and I'm frustrated when mine aren't perfect (they often aren't :) ). But I put a lot of time into it, too, although I have half the key clicks down to muscle memory, I think.

I get my caps from a comm called dj_capslock over on LJ for MIOBI. I've been very lucky getting these caps (and others) from there. I've also been using some freeware programs to automatically cap things myself.

I just wanted icons of certain expressions and sorta went "Ahhh screw it." for some of them. I don't have an actual graphics program so I use this one online called picnik for all my work.

I take all my caps myself and I got them just watching the episodes on Hulu. Which would probably explain the quality. I'll have to check out the comm. Thanks for telling me about it.

	You're welcome! I wanted to make icons (especially of Razor/Nico because I'm using him as a PB) and I didn't want to hunt down capable versions, so I went hunting for someone who'd already capped it. Because I've capped things like youtube before (like for Travis Clark icons) and oh is that ever frustrating! Especially on a Mac. Too many keyclicks. Enjoy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could imagine how youtube would be especially frustrating and I understand how frustrating it is on a Mac. My baby I'm using is a MacBook. I love it but pressing all the keys to get a screencap is annoying as all getout. Do you mind if I ask where you rp? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's exactly it. I love my Macbook Pro to bits, but all those keys are a pain in the arse.

I don't mind. I'd point to my CDJ page, but it's not up to date. I'm currently playing in the Potter game

mulligan_mods and I'm apping the Wild Cards game I talked about in my last post. I'll be running a game, I hope, in the coming months, as well.

And I have a definite fondness for the characters from MIOBI. I'm using Nico Tortorella and Josie Loren in Mulligan, and I'll be using Cassie Scerbo in We Float. :)

Exactly. I looove my Macbook Pro. Especially since my daddy works for Apple so he got it Site Sale like half off XD

I do a form based Potter rp which I absolutely adore. That Wild Cards game looks really fascinating though.

I LOVE the characters for MIOBI. I'm using Ayla in two games and I just adore the girl to bits. Payson's probably my favorite character in the show.

	I don't know if Pay's my favorite. I had trouble warming up to her in the beginning, but I got to like her. I kind of love Emily -- I want to use Chelsea Hobbs as a PB eventually. Although my taste in the show might be odd, since I used to like Razor better than Damon, maybe still do, except when Razor's being an idiot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamer_ayla 2010-04-10 01:13 am UTC (link)
	I happen to adore Razor. Even if he is an idiot sometimes. And I really do love Emily. I just really love Payson's determination to reach her goals despite her set backs and I loved seeing her have "teenage moments" while forced into high school. Damon kinda rubs me the wrong way sometimes actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Damon really drives me nuts. He stole Emily when he knew Razor was interested in her... then he goes so back and forth on things. I'm also irritated that the actor makes his character seem way to old for Emily (even though I know the actress and actor are actually only 2 years different). It just makes me itchy because he seems too old for the role.

But the character has a lot of flaws that drive me nuts, and I think Emily's a saint being patient with him. Or else getting herself into a relationship that could be really disfunctional.

	He really does seem too old for the role. And really, isn't it against some guy code or whatever to go for the girl you know your friend is interested in? Emily and Damon's relationship really will end up as a very dysfunctional one if it does continue the way it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tryslora 2010-04-10 01:28 am UTC (link)
	The actor's 27. Chelsea Hobbs is 25, which is like whoa, really? when I look at her, not so much for Johnny Pacar and Damon. Well, Razor could come back again. And there's always Kaylie's brother, who's flirted with Emily. I'm definitely all about Team Razor though, in all of Razor's dorkitude, he's adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamer_ayla 2010-04-10 01:32 am UTC (link)
	O.O Chelsea's 25? She looks like 19 maybe. He is adorable. But in a way I'm just like "OMG she's got so much going on, does she need a friggin relationship?!?!" Like she's trying to get to the Olympics, does she really need to be worrying about dating behind Sasha and the entire National Team's backs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's totally 25. I wanted to use her for a PB but the cutoff was that the PB had to be 24 or under! Although Josie Loren turned out better in that case anyway. But still. Yeah. Surprising, huh?

I figure Emily's the only one of them to really get what it's like to be a teenager, so it's harder for her to just turn it off. Whereas Pay could give it up. Of course, then there's Lauren... who's just.... yeah. The end of the season? Wasn't expecting that.
