Sorry, I just read something awesome by [livejournal.com profile] elihice. I'm *such* a pathetic fangirl.

I have social invitations on both Saturday and Sunday. I don't get to go unless I get my words in. Right now, dinner calls.

Nope, you were right. It's me I'm stupid and didn't thought about the liquid I thought it was champagne. It's just that it stays too yellowish to me, so I overlooked it.

And besides, since the scene was so fast, and Gary Oldman's accent is weird, and the subtitles were in Spanish, didn't even realized he was talking about the absinthe XP I'm really dumb and slow.

Again, the scene is fast, and the frames overlap each other. So well, they kind of look weird. So I did what I could, since sometimes the things changed too much to make a neat image.

Here (http://usuarios.lycos.es/kirisame/caps/) are various caps with various shots, unorganized. Tell me if there's any good for you, and I'll make the icon from it. Do you want me to add text or anything?

Wow, that was a lot of work! Yeah, the frames overlap so much, I was afraid that was the case. Although, now, I get the visual metaphor for blood cells that I never got out of the image before.

The ones where the bottle & label show (like 2 and 4) are the most suitable for icon-making, except that they might not crop well. If you can retain the whole absinthe-labeled bottle and most of the bottle pouring, that would be great.

I'm still pondering text. If you make me a base, I can add text later when I think of it.

Oh, and -- *thank you*!

And stop calling yourself stupid, because you're NOT. !!!! Don't make me use more exclamation marks on you.

Something like this, for instance?

Best cropping, cleaning and brigthness I can come up with. I can't use a lot of filters on it, since I can make it worse-looking.

Yeah, that's good. The liquid looks green enough, even if the label isn't obvious. That's pretty much exactly what I wanted!
