New layout! I had fun with this one. Simpler than what I usually do, but with more bang, and a quantity of sparkles that would make any vampire proud.

53 Harry Potter graphics: 38 icons, 14 friends-only banners, 1 wallpaper.

( all aboard )

35 icons of the POTC movies & cast.

So I was working on some DH icons and realized I couldn't go much longer without making some graphics of the Phelps (Weasley) twins. I have some icons that I'll post later, but here are 10 "is love" bars. Well, technically 5, but I made a black and white version of each.
They are of: the Weasley twins, the Phelps twins, the Phelps twins' forearms (if you don't know already, they are heavenly and gorgeous ;)), James, and Oliver.

PSPS: The first 38 DH icons.

38 icons of quotes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Spoilers, obviously.

I somehow doubt whether the icons in my last post are going to do any good. XD

!!!!!SPOILING JERK ALERT!!!!!

If any of you find a LJ comment in your email inbox (or, for that matter, see a comment anywhere) from wasteofpages, don't open it. It's likely just a stupid prank--I only skimmed it once I realized what it was, and it honestly looked like BS--but still.

Since banning users only helps after the fact, I recommend everyone who doesn't want to see that sort of crap to change their comment settings to friends only, and leave it like that until after DH.

I'm going to stop having comments left in this journal emailed to me until after I've read DH. So if you have questions or anything, I'll only be getting back to you after this weekend.

And now, the smallest icon post evar, but these have to be posted before the 21st. XD


I'll customize these for you, if you want. Comment if you want an icon with the same design but different text.

ETA: 5 post-DH icons. Non-spoilery, pretty versatile. ;)

A bunch of non-icon Harry Potter graphics.

- 4 FO banners
- 2 larger non-FO banners--I suppose they could work as headers
- 3 DH wallpapers (that I made way back when the cover art was released, lol)

Also! I'm going to make some HP quote icons, so I want to know: What are your favorite HP book quotes? It's be great if you include the book and chapter of the quote (and the page number if you have the British editions of books 1-3 or the American editions of books 4-6). If it's a quote from HBP, please check here to make sure I haven't already done it. Thanks!

Here are the interest icons!
1 - Pan's Labyrinth for cotume27
2 - Anne Hathaway for mafaldita_coura
3 - Ravenclaw + pwning (how can there be one without the other? ;)) for faire_weather
4 - fangirling for modillian
5 - Lily Cole for nialyind
6 - Audrey Hepburn for lilmellie
7 - House MD for chaptertwo

INTEREST ICONS

I've done this a few times in my personal journal, but never here. I bet you guys know the deal, but just in case:

Comment, and I will pick one of your interests to make an icon of. You have no say in what I make. If you want your icon to be non-sharable, please say so, otherwise it'll be up for grabs for anyone else to take as well. Keep an eye out for a post in the next few days with the icons.

24 icons of quotes from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Mainly Jack of course, but also some Barbosa and others.

Been a while since I posted one of these.

A tutorial:
from this to this
(All gradients in this tutorial were made by me. You're welcome to use them and you don't have to credit, since they only took a second to make.)
Remember: Don't follow this word for word. Be creative and do what looks best for your picture.
I did this in PSP 9 but I'd imagine it'd easily translate to other programs.

Zomg *tired*
32 icons:
4 JK Rowling
20 Hogwarts Houses (13-16 and 21-24 you may customize)
8 Fashion

I put up a new layout. Finally. fading_melody.

I've also organized all of my entries, so now the tags page is where to go if you're looking for graphics of a particular subject.

More icons on their way soon!
