she who hath made that icon

Why the camera man never returned to the Black household

iiconic — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:39:08 GMT

On Wednesday, 25th August, 1967, Walburga Black requested a camera man to take a loving family photo of the five Black children.
These photos were salvaged from the event.

Please leave a comment! I'd like to know what you think :)

2.5 years later, and you'd think i'd be more mature

anyways this section is a bit of a mixed bag, i hope you enjoy

iiconic xxx

firstly here's a few i found in my photobucket album, i vaguely remember doing the first four for some icon contest thing when i was trying out all the fancy options with lighting and overlays etc.
and #5-7 was obviously when someone told me how to put videos in, no idea how now lol
also might have already posted these... again cant remember..so sorry in advance if i have :3

Hello!

I'm off to uni (for the first time :O) on Sat and I'm not sure on the Internet situation because I won't be living in halls. My house mates (so weird to say that) and I will probably have to shop around for some broadband deals so I won't know how long it will be till I get permanent access. Not that it will affect you much, just don't expect that many updates and prompt replies to comments :)

My entry to the elements challenge in hp_fringeart

My chosen element is water... sea, rain and tears

Narcissa watches from afar as her husband is taken off to Azkaban after the DoM fight

And here's one where it's not raining- it just makes the colours stand out more

Heya!

Got a new layout today! Probably not to everyone's tastes but well, so what? You're all probably looking through your own friends pages :p
[ Layout codes by starlingsby100 ]
Tell me if there seems to be something wrong with it and I'll put it right after screaming since I've been trying to sort it out all day

Here's the header:

it's 600x300 if anyone wants it :) (just remember to credit me!)

oh and before someone asks the guy on the bottom row of pictures on the left came from this post... GUH :D (warning: definitely not for dial-up)

Here's a quick iamsocool!James:

Here's a (late) quick sketch for Hermione's B'day:

Oh you know all those books she reads have their covers changed, I mean how many times can you read Hogwarts a History? She's a fangirl underneath :p

BTW this is awesome.

Hiya, hope you're enjoying the hols :D

Since I had no access to the Internet on holiday and therefore no pictures for icons I decided to draw on gimp.

In a far corner glinted small objects and coins that Harry guessed Kreacher had saved, magpie-like, from Sirius' purge of the house, and he had also managed to retrieve the silver-framed family photographs that Sirius had thrown away over the summer. Their glass might be shattered, but still the little black-and-white people inside them peered up at him haughtily, including - he felt a little jolt in his stomach - the dark, heavy-lidded woman whose trial he had witnessed in Dumbledore's pensieve: Bellatrix Lestrange.
~ OotP p445 (UK edition)

NB: Ok, so I forgot that it was silver-framed and it was supposed to be black-and-white but er, let's just call that artistic licence ;)

</div>

...and a much BIGGER version here

It's my first drawing on art software so please leave a comment telling me what you guys think :D

iiconic — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 16:32:40 GMT

This will be my last post for a while since I'm going on holiday

Artpad dumpage (I'll get back to doing icons soon!)

Got a new graphics tablet on Mon and here are my first attempts at using one:

Fawkes

The middle sister

I think there's something not quite right with her face but don't know what it is

Remus: "I don't understand why."

Notes: This is when he's a little boy, soon after he's been bitten.
If he was living in a wizarding area then there might have been some suspicions about him among the community - especially children because their minds are the most imaginative after all.

iiconic — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 15:30:11 GMT

Should be revising...

Another artpad piece

There should be writing on it but it didn't save properly.

This was written somewhere near the tree:
"...he felt his heart lift at the
thought that there was still one
last golden day of peace left
to enjoy with Ron and Hermione."
- p607 (UK) HBP

Got bored, didn't want to revise...
I've spent 6hrs doing 4 exams today, I needed a break :p

In case you hadn't noticed, updates are going realllly slloowwwly because I have A-level exams coming up in June. So after this post there's probably going to be another long wait for the next update :( sorry

I've seen some people create icons of the HP characters as infants... I just took it a bit further...

Teasers:

The Marauders

01	02	03	04	05

06	07	08	09

Minerva & Mrs Norris

10	11	12	13	14

Trevor & Crookshanks

15	16	17	18

I was going to stop there but then I found some photos which led to...

Moony/Tonks (as a werecub) & their wee ones

19	20	21

And after finding more photos I couldn't stop...

Group photos

22 23 24 25 26

27 28 29 30 31

OBHWF (& Harry & Hermione)

32	33	34	35	36	37

Hello all!
I am so so so sorry about the lack of updates - I have essays left, right, centre, coming out of my ears...

This one isn't a proper update (consider it a mini April Fool's if you will) - these are the icons I entered at wizard_icontest [which btw you should join - it's quite unique] over the course of a few weeks
They're not thrilling - it just helps me get to grips with gimp features

However I do have icons lined up to post very soon i.e. sometime tomorrow (if the internet, livejournal, hosting site or heaven forbid my laptop doesn't collapse)
so watch this space.

1. [Mod's Choice]   2. [2nd place]   3. [2nd place] 4.
5.    6. [2nd place]   7. [2nd place]   8.
9.    10. [2nd place] 11. [Mod's choice] 12.
13.    14.

Lol, never quite made 1st.
Feel free to take, just credit, comment, and don't hotlink

New icons should be up by tomorrow. If not, I will be screaming at the computer trying to put the icons up.

Oh and a very happy birthday to Gred and Forge :D</div>

Hi! It's been a while...been busy, been lazy...

EDIT: PICPILE WENT BOOM! - I had to reupload all the icons elsewhere except I had no idea what order these icons went in therefore I couldn't renumber them as they were, so I didn't otherwise you wonderful comments will make even less sense.

OK, never thought I'd have to say this so soon but my photobucket account is going kaplut with bandwidth probs. I'm going to be moving some stuff around so you probably won't be able to see much for the time being, please be patient : )

Oh and if you're hotlinking then I'd really, really, really would appreciate it if you didn't. There that was a polite request.

If you don't know what hotlinking is click here for info.

To use one of my icons save it to your computer and upload it with one of the many free website providers such as Photobucket or ImageShack

Now do that before I start changing the links and replacing them with "die, hotlinker, die!" icons.

HII!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR (in about 6hrs)!!!!

I haven't done icons for ages so here it is...

from 50 Things I am not allowed to do at Hogwarts
I did do a couple more but the computer deleted them grr

Now these next Ddre icons are... pervy but then half the HP fandom are pervy so it doesn't really matter does it? :p
Anyway it's his fault for making such faces...

course it might just have been an innocent face...

first time I've made icons from these so I'm hope I'm using them correctly

they are just sooooo adorable!

DON'T HOTLINK ~ to use my icons properly, right-click and save them to your computer and upload them using a image hosting site like PhotoBucket or ImageShack ~ too many hotlinkers = can't see any images :/

Well it's the Christmas Holidays but I can't make icons/photo albums/diaries any quicker since I have to revise for my A-levels during this holiday. I've got 3 modules coming up mid-January and I've only just started to make notes.

But that still doesn't mean nothing's going to get posted :)
