Shopping. For Icons.

[ase]

Two Chalionverse icons, two Sharing Knife icons, thirteen Vorkosigan icons. Please comment and credit if you run off with any of them. Feed my ego, and enjoy!

01. 02. 03.
04. 05. 06.
07. 08. 09.
10. 11. 12.
13. 14. 15.
16. 17.

Cites: All text-only icons are quotes from Lois McMaster Bujold's novels. Images from covers of same. #17 started life as the Baen Diplomatic Immunity cover; #3 and #4 are from the Sharing Knife duology. #4 also includes a mangled and out of context Tori Amos "Spark" quote; the text on #3 is from Tracy Grammer and Dave Carter's "Tanglewood Tree". I desperately love "Disappearing Man" by the same duo ("All rise! Behold the famous disappearing man / who comes in crimson robes / and leaves in yellow rags") but it doesn't fit in here at all. Notice how much this is stopping me from mentioning it.

I love them all. 5 and 15 are especially not and 12 brings back very fond memories. :P

[ase.livejournal.com]

Hah. ACC was a beautiful comedy.

It's 6:58. Are you sure where your spark is?

When I get home I'm nabbing a few of these. Like the life in ruins with vomiting.

Fawn is afraid of a light in the dark. Have fun with 'em.

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I'm snagging #12 and #16. Thanks for making these!

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome - enjoy!

[mareklamo.livejournal.com]

I like them! May snag a few later. What's #17?

[ase.livejournal.com]

#17 was the DI cover, several judicious crops and layers ago.

[ornerie.livejournal.com]

snagging #6 and #16. brilliant! thanks so much :)

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[countrycousin.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I grabbed 1, 2, and 7. (and if I understand right, your comments on 2 and 3 go with 3 and 4, respectively.)

Haven't installed them yet, but will credit when I do.

Thanks again!

[ase.livejournal.com]

Whoops - thanks for catching that. It's been corrected. Enjoy!

[karihan.livejournal.com]

Oooo, 9, 11 and 16! Love the color combinations on these!

[ase.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They were a lot of fun to make.

[quietann.livejournal.com]

grabbed a couple; thank you!

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[ndrosen.livejournal.com]

I like these, and I'll credit you. Can I ask a really ignorant question? How do I install an icon?

[ase.livejournal.com]

Check the faq (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=1), but the short version is:
1.) get the URL of the image you plan to use (right-clicking and selecting "view image" will usually give you that information.)
2.) Log in to LJ
3.) Go to http://www.livejournal.com/editpics.bml (http://www.livejournal.com/editpics.bml)
4.) Use the "upload a new userpic" form to do just that. The form lets label each pic with a keyword and description; if someone else made the the userpic you're uploading, it's considered courteous to mention this in the description.

Hope that helps! And if it doesn't, check out the FAQ (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqcat=userpics).

Stealing 1 and 11! These are gorgeous!

(PS - have you ever done one for Sex, Power, Money... and Elephants? It seems to me that that is a phrase BEGGING to be iconned)

love

Enjoy! I did one a couple years ago, but it's buried somewhere in lmbujold. I may redo it at some point.

[zdenka]

Ooh, pretty. Not taking any right now, but I like 'em.

[ase.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. They're not going anywhere if you want to pick one up sometime later.

[polingly.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I'm taking 11 and 16. Not sure when I'll use them, but I'll credit when I do. :)

[ase.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Enjoy.

Icon 4

[mearigh.livejournal.com]

Icon 4's quote makes a nice double-entendre when taken in the context of Phil and Kaja Foglio's excellent webcomic Girl Genius (http://girlgeniusonline.com). Especially if you think of it as a quote from Othar Tryggvassen...

Re: Icon 4

[ase.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, very cute. I'll claim it as subtle genius after the fact.

[nara-cat.livejournal.com]

Snagged... um, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 16. Will credit, of course.

Thanks so much!

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[sasha-feather.livejournal.com]

Nice, I may grab some of these.

[ase.livejournal.com]

That's what they're here for. :-)

[themis1.livejournal.com]

Love these - snagging 16, thanks! It sums up exactly how I feel today!

Re: Icons

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And I hope things improve for you.

[rhi]

Snagged 1 & 14, and I will certainly credit you when they go into rotation. Thank you very much, they're all utterly lovely!

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[filkferengi]

Shiny! And elegant, too; well done!

[ase.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[allyra.livejournal.com]

Stealing 7, 11, 16. I'd love one that has the full phrase: "Tests are a gift. Great tests are a great gift." But the one you made is just great!

Moar plz! :)

[ase.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind for the next batch. Have fun with the ones you took!

[spartezda.livejournal.com]

*snabbles #9*

[ase.livejournal.com]

I'm really surprised more people haven't taken that one.

Grabbing 6 and 7. Will credit. Thank you!

[ase.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[kilerkki.livejournal.com]

Snagging several from this and previous posts--9 and 11 from here, an assorted few from other Vorkosigan quote icons posts. You do the best. :D

[ase.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thank you!

[hmms-gree.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!
