I need some Campbell icons, but you don't see many around and I'm crap at making them. Any ideas?

Well, if the acting thing doesn't work out, DT can always go into radio...

He is one of those lucky people who only looks better as they get older. I mean, he was nice to look at as Campbell, but now...

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Campbell was ridiculously pretty. But yes, he's definitely improving with age.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

True. Although he's got the wrong sort of face for radio :-)

[loreley-se.livejournal.com]

He does look a little less baby faced today though! Which is entirely a good thing...

[caz963.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. No complaints from me on that score! :)

von_gelmini has some Baby!David icons that might fit the bill, there's a couple in the mixed sets here and here, and a full set from a photo-shoot here. Hope they're what you're looking for :)

I did actually go through v_g's stuff and snagged a couple and I've already got a few of the b&w ones, but thanks.

Having been looking through screencaps (hence this post!) I can see why there aren't many - he's just so bloody animated most of the time, it's hard to find him in a pose where he's still enough, or not pulling a funny face to get a cap to make an icon! But I've found one or two and I'm going to have a go. I'm not at all of an artistic bent when it comes to graphics, but I should be able to crop a picture, resize it and get the colouring how I want it, right?

Failing that, I'll have to grovel to some of my more talented friends...

have you looked through the screen caps at David Tennant Fan? You have to be a member to view them, but all you need is an email address to register there, and they have quite a lot of caps, although due to age of the source material the quality isn't always brilliant.

That's the only place I can think of that even has a decent amount of them though. http://davidtennantfan.com/gallery/index.php

One other thought would be to actually ask von_gelmini if he has any pics he'd share. He has a thing for baby David so I expect if anyone has some good ones it's him, and he's a lovely guy so I can't see him saying no.

I have trawled around for caps - as it's an older show, the quality isn't great :( I might take up the idea of asking v_g if he'd consider making some more though - thanks!

Mmm, Campbell.

But, yes, David still looks so young. I can't believe he's about to turn 40 when he still looks like he's in his twenties half the time.

P.S. I like this icon, myself *points to icon*. I'd have to check who made it.

[radiantbaby.livejournal.com]

Okay, I dug up all the icons I have of Campbell on my hard-drive for you. Not sure if you'd be interested in any of them, but here they are anyway (apologies that some are of unknown origin -- I used to be less diligent about noting such things when I was first in DT fandom years ago]:

P.S. Oh, and the one I'm using is by sandsdream, by the way.

[caz963.livejournal.com]

That's really kind of you - thank you! Like I said upthread, I think one of the problems is finding a still from which to make an icon because he's always on the move!

The one you used for the comment is actually one of the few I remember having seen around - and couldn't remember where, so you've also solved that one for me!

well, i was thinking of doing a campbell bain set soon. i was going over some caps for my series, but saw so many that were just great campbell pics i was kinda inspired. so as they say... watch this space v_g_graphics i'll have some up in a couple of weeks at most. :D

any requests?

[caz963.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'll look forward to that.

Requests? Well, lots of pretty goes without saying given the subject. ;-) Hair and smiles? *g*
