"Not Short. Concentrated." (Bujold Icons)

[ase]

Fourteen Bujold icons, including (gasp) a cover art icon. Please credit and comment (if you're not sure what I'm talking about, guidelines here) if you use these; I like seeing where these go, and how people use them. Constructive criticism always appreciated!

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that Monday is International Pixel-Stained Wretch Day (see also ipstp) and encourage everyone to support the movement. Here, have an icon:



And on to the main show.
1 - 9 Vorkosigan universe; 2 and 3 are variations on a theme.
10 and 11 Chalionverse
12 - 14 Sharing Knife: Beguilement; may be considered spoilers.

I love them all...except I can't read #1 except for "Freedom".

I'm not sure why, but #11 always gives me chills. I may need to take down 'Paladin' just to re-read that speech.

That was deliberate; it was an experiment. Comments?

I like how #11 turned out, but then, I think blue is the best color in the world. The colors are wrong for a proper Father-ly icon, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

Lovely as art--but I'm not going to use an icon unless I'm sure what I'm saying with it.

I can say, with the authority of the person who made it, that it's the lyrics of Joplin's "Freedom's Just Another Word". However, if it's on the edge of readability, I should've kicked it down a few more font pts and gone over the edge into gratuitous text decoration. Ah well.

I'm paranoid enough that even if I can't read the text I'll worry that someone else will read it and claim it means something horrible. Which may be too paranoid for you to bother with.

OTOH, an artist's note explaining what the text it would soothe that.
