Before I post the icons I have to say that I am most proud of the three Friedrichs and the two Arthur Rackhams. The Friedrich icons because I discovered this wonderful painting yesterday and have just been enthralled with it ever since. I not only made the icons and the FO banners, but also a banner for this community's profile page. The Rackham icons I'm proud of because I very carefully colorized the original illustrations (the second one was particularly tricky), and think they turned out quite nicely. Look for an all Rackham entry from me sometime in the future.

Now that we got that out of the way:

[stellar_raven]

You're welcome, and thank you so much. :)

Thanks, Luce! *hugs back*

Spiffy job.

Crediting 1st FO banner. Thanks. :)

Ok, I'm considering going Friends Only just to use these banners (I took them, obviously, as well as all the Graveyard icons). ;P I adore this painter. Do you have, by any chance, some headers with his paintings?

[stellar_raven]

Thank ya, ma'am! :)

I salute your spiffy Shawn & Gus icon with one of my own...sadly missing Gus.

[stellar_raven]

You're welcome, and thank you! :)

[stellar_raven]

Thanks! :)

And, I don't at the moment, but if you have something mind I could try to make one for you. I'd just need to know which piece of art you'd like featured, the approximate sixe you'd like it to be and any colorings, etc. you'd like used on it.

No Gus! Shame!

[stellar_raven]

I know...I feel so ashamed! *cries* :(

I'll shall have to look through my pictures and see what I can come up with.

Why don't you use other people's icons?

[stellar_raven]

It's not that I don't or I won't, it's more like 'I haven't yet'. It'd be pretty pretentious of me to hope that other people will use my icons, and then for me to refuse to use others' icons myself. Just because I haven't yet, doesn't mean that I won't ever. Besides, I have used icons other than those I make before; I love using your Grinch icons at Christmastime. :)

Thank you for these wonderful icons. I think you have an excellent eye, and I really appreciate the way you have enhanced by not overwhelmed the foundation images. I went through your journal and took several icons from each of the posts featuring 19th century artists. Rather than bombard you with comments, I will just list them chronologically. I always give credit when used. Once again, thank you.

From 5/18/08 I took #1, 7, 15, 20 and 21. From 7/13/08 I took the two Hughes icons. From 9/20/08 I took #4, 9, 11, 12 and 13. From 1/19/09 I took #2, 5 and 11.

[stellar_raven]

You're very welcome. :) I'm glad you enjoyed them.

And thank you so very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it.
