Spike:
Spike/Buffy:
Illyria:
Harmony (done on a whim):
Some Hex icons I didn't know what to do with:
Puss in Boots (from Shrek 2 - just because)
P J Harvey (Why not?)
These are the requested icons:
jamalov29 wanted 'Spike or Spike/Buffy. With golden coloring. As for the words , my name would be nice.'
hesadevil wanted a couple of Drogyn and 'Spike-with-sword with the text 'brave knight'.
I'm also including my first attempt I'm not so keen on too just in case you disagree:
Spike and sword was very tricky as the sword didn't really show up, so this is me giving up really:
hils wanted Jack from Lost:
gamiila wanted the Ninth Doctor whom I just find creepy I'm afraid. I struggled with the other two pics, but I got a couple done:
lillianmorgan wanted Alternative Music icons and Spike & Dawn. Thus the PJ Harvey ones are explained! I may make a full set of all sorts of bands, if I'm in the mood, later:
prophcygrl wanted Sean Maher, whom I've never heard of. I hope you like pink:
quinara wanted 'an icon that somehow combines Spike and/or Buffy with the word 'Renaissance''. I think it looks a bit Baroque to me, but I'm quite proud of this one:
Thanks also to
quinara for suggesting some words, which in the end didn't match what I made, but I'll look into if I make more sometime.
Unfortunately, being limited to 100x100 means that the really, really good fonts with a lot of detail don't work, damn.
Those 2 Illyria icons are absolutely gorgeous :)
I'm very proud of this Illyria one, and wouldn't you know it was probably the easiest to make of the lot!
Squeeeeeeeeee!!!
Thank you so much... *hugs*
Re: Squeeeeeeeeee!!!
Not normally, no! And no pink! But they don't dominiate the pic so much.
You posted a bunch of pretties. The Spike's ones are gorgeous , I'm snagging Rebel , A good man , and he smoking.
I see why you're proud of the Illyria icons. Infinity is beautiful.
Of course i'm taking Surrender and </i> Intense</i>. :)
Thank you.
>>you went exactly where I expected you would
Oh dear. I'll try to be less predictable next time. :D
I'd thought you'd forgotten about these so I made my own 'bravest knight'. I don't have any fancy brushes or anything yet so the sword shows up. Maybe that's the solution with that cap - to leave it simple?
>>I'd thought you'd forgotten about these
I've been slaving! You're probably right it needs to be simple, but that wasn't really the point of the excerise. And as for fancy brushes, you just make them.
I'm also going to take that one where Spike's smoking, and it's all pale-blue and swirly, because that's too pretty for me to resist as well. (This is all incredibly stupid, because I can see this meaning that I give in and buy more extra icon space at the end of the month... but oh well.)
And you're welcome to the words - that was just me (OK, now I can't remember the phrase - is it singing for my supper?) Anyway, whee!
I really like the smoking one too. It needed words, but none seemed to fit it. I liked your suggestions, but as you can see, they didn't really suit the swirliness. I'll use them next time.
Unfortunately though, I have hit a slight snag -- when trying to upload the Gamiila sig, I get the following error message: "The dimensions of your image (100x103) exceed maximum size. Your picture can only be 100x100 pixels large. Use a image/photo editing program to reduce the image to thumbnail-size."
Any idea what I need to do to get LJ to accept it?
And hee! I love your Puss in Boots, so funny! Snagging it as well as my two Doctors. ;-)
Try this one:
I have fallen for Puss.
