I've created a series of icons based on movie themes. I did a set based on the movie Fight Club a while back, and now thought i'd try my hand at 2001: A Space Odyssey.
All of the work here is created 100% in photoshop using lots and lots of layers, and a lot of airbrushing! i do about 95% of this work with the mouse. Each icon is drawn on a 512x512px canvas, and then i scale down for the final output.
I've posted these on icon/ui forums before. but i thought i'd see what you guys thinks, since these are obviously quite illustrative. I try to design the icons so they're somewhat in line with the Apple Guidelines, and by that i mean, the perspectives and lighting and such. Ie, they should either be drawn from front on, or looking down on them (like they're on a desk). And should all be lit from directly above.
I'm hoping they're all consistant as well and appear as a "set".

any comments? or suggestions on how to improve?
