This is my free-for-all contribution to the recent round of summer_of_giles . It had been a while since I last made icons, so I made a set of icons with memorable quotes by or about Giles. Feel free to snag if you see any you like!

Teasers:

My last project of 2018, I just made it before the end of year! It's a big bunch of Spike icons I made for noel_of_spike. They are based on the IDW comics artwork of Franco Urru, of whom I'm a big fan. Here are a few teasers. The other icons plus a few banners are under the cut.


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

( On to the banners and icons! )

This is another contribution to this year's Spring round of seasonal_spuffy, which had as theme "Night and Day". It's an icon set for which I parasitized an old vid of mine that happened to fit the theme perfectly. The set contrasts and parallels Buffy and Spike's daytime and nighttime activities.

Icon and image made for Day 19 of the "A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words" Challenge over at nekid_spike.

At least one good thing came out of this tedious Photobucket-link-replacing job: I discovered that I had never posted my icon set for last Fall's Seasonal Spuffy to my LJ. So here it is; not my best, but it has a couple of icons I am quite pleased with. The round's theme was Under the Influence, so the icons show various Spuffy interactions while one or both of them were "under the influence".

Without any warning, Photobucket has removed third party hosting from their free package. All images linked from Photobucket have been replaced with a dummy image, and the only way to make them visible again is to upgrade to a paid account.

Third party hosting is the only reason I (and I assume most people) had been using Photobucket in the first place. But there's no way I'm going to give in to their blackmail. I'll go look for an alternative instead. (I don't even mind if it's paid, as long as they don't pull any dirty tricks like this and unlike Photobucket, have some actual respect for their users.) And then I'll have to move all my stuff there and relink. Nice job for the summer holidays! NOT.

Clearly it is going to take more than a little while until my icons and artwork will be visible again. This also holds for all the things I've posted to communities such as seasonal_spuffy, noel_of_spike, sb_fag_ends, summer_of_giles and nekid_spike. Sorry about that.

In the mean time, suggestions for better hosting services are welcome.

More icons I've been long overdue in posting; these are from tvlims Season 6, Angel.

1.		2.		4.		4a

I didn't get very far in this one.  I wasn't very happy with the main font in my losing icon, but what do you do with only 5 minutes to spare before the deadline? :-)  Many thanks to those who gave feedback; it resulted in the improved version 4a.

Again, feel free to snag (preferably with credit).

Oh no, what did I do? Sign up for tvlims' Angel round, that's what!

I don't expect to last long, but at least it'll be a good occasion to make myself some AtS icons. (Though I already know I won't have time for this.)

Here is a whole bunch of icons that I had not yet posted to my LJ. I made them for the past round of seasonal_spuffy, which had as its theme "A New Era". That made me think of the Aquarius song from Hair (This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius), so I decided to make icons for each zodiac sign. Each icon comes in two versions: one with, and one without the zodiac symbol. There are also a few extras.

ETA: I added a few more extras for the Pisces symbol icon, because I've never been happy with that one (the version without symbol is fine).
