I had never made black and white icons before, so I tought I'd give it a shot *g*. Some I quite like how they turned out and the others... meh, I'm not entirely pleased with them, but I've decided to share those with you as well. Shhh, don't tell my perfectionist side or he'll be screaming at me to delete them! *g* I hope you like what I've done.

Hugs, Chris ♥

Oh they are just gorgeous, the black and white works wonderfully. I think my fav is number 4, I love the background that you have used in that icon. But they are all really great. Thank you!

Awww, thank you for the lovely comments! I'm so pleased that you like the icons.

That pic I used in #4 is one of my favourite Bodie pics. He's at his most beautiful in it, I think! The man does scruffy so very well *grins*

You are too modest, to me they look equally good, very stylish, or whimsical (3 and 4).

Nos 10 and 11 are particularly ravishing (and it's not often I prefer pics of Doyle over Bodie, I can assure you).

These are beautiful! I like how you've combined the black and white with just a hint of colour. Love them all, but my faves are 3,4 and 9. Gorgeous work - thanks!

I've remarked on it before I think but the thing that always strikes me about your icons is how clean and sharp the images are. Just lovely. :D

These are really nice! In fact, I can't choose a favorite at all--or even several favorites. As soon as I decide those, well, the others suddenly remind me that, yes, I love them, too. *g*

Thank you so much for sharing these!

These are so crisp and clear with lovely effects. Love the smile of Doyle's in No.3 and the expression on Bodie's face in No.7. Then there's No.10 and......

All so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I think black/white icons some how always look so clean and crisp and some how convey so much more.

These are really good. I love the way black&white seems to cut out the clutter so the focus is on the subject with no distractions. Love nos. 9 & 10, with their hands.

You can see every detail in their expressions, and I don't know how you get the pics to be so sharp and crystal clear!
Black and white suits the lads very well!

They're all gorgeous - I love the twiddly bits (sorry, don't know the technical term *g*) you've added to most of them, especially on 3 and 4. Whenever I try to do that it just looks silly - when you do it, it looks very classy.

These are great! Esp.#3+4 and #12.
With this hint of blue it's just amazing.

And I'm just reading 'The Hive' - and it's very thrilling.
- I hate Krivas...

Thank you!

Oh, I hope you enjoy the story! It was a lot of fun to write. I'm not a fan of Krivas either, thus the reason I used him as the bad guy in the story *g*
