YAY! I am so so glad you like them! I really had fun making them, especially since I'm not going to get to Dreamland for quite some time in my chronological iconage (which really, really needs to be resumed at this point, it's been far too long!)
Oh, and I still want to give you a gift as well...so just let me know if there's anything I can do!
Oh gosh. Now I'm in this weird position of sort of wanting something, but then feeling like it's not worth it for you to go through the trouble when all I did was make you icons. Really, icons aren't much work, and knitting is quite a bit of work. And really, I don't really want anything that badly, it's just that your knitting is really, really cute and pretty. It's okay :) Maybe a raincheck when I really do figure out what I want? And I need to reimburse you for the cost of yarn and all that because I would feel way better about it :D
EEE! So glad you like this post! You didn't request anything! Oy!
Did you really hand-draw that design in the one header will the fandoms? If so, you're talent just rocketed to a new level. Just wow.
Umm...I hand-drew the birds/squiggly things design. Not the really nice, clean, Victorian motif design. I've done hand-drawn reproductions of Victorian motifs, and really, I was too lazy to do my own, so I decided to use a pre-made brush or texture for that piece. But the random birds design that was featured in #2 and #3 was completely handdrawn with my brand new tablet!
It just doesn't look as nice as the motif. Oy. I should spend more time on those kinds of drawings next time.
Hehe! I should be a bit neater with my drawing designs, but it was the very first day I got my tablet and I was too excited to use it. I'll be uploading more drawings where I think my drawing technique works better in than these kind of designs :D
Very nice, thank you. I like the fonts a lot...the words look great and are perfect for what I was thinking. I know it's really hard to translate a random request into something on the screen, and I think you certainly did a good job. I'm not sure how I feel about those images, though... Maybe I picked the wrong ones? I don't know.
What I *do* know is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Scully/Reyes banner and the multi-fandom banner. I am head over heels for that cut-out style! How have I never seen that? It's stunning. I so want one... If you ever find yourself with some down-time, I'd be willing to offer some requests. :D You know, anything for a friend. ;)
Seriously, THANK YOU for all the effort you put in. It was so nice of you to do this for us! ♥
Ooo you like the Scully/Reyes banner and multifandom banners? I liked the Scully/Reyes banner a lot, but I'm not sure if my technique worked really well for the multifandom banners. In any case, I'll be having another all-request wishlist as soon as my watchers hit...300? It's at 270 right now. For my own sanity, I hope it doesn't reach 400 too soon because I need time to recover from these requests! :D But do request for a cut-out banner next time if you still want it then :D
But I'm so glad you like your banner! I wasn't sure if the text worked, but if you like it, that's all that matters! YEE!
I'm so glad! If you want me to completely redo your banner and make it into a cut-out version, I can do that :) I want this to be a satisfaction-guarantee!
I chose those two images because it seems to be like part of a series: they have their foreheads together, and then Scully kisses his forehead. But they're in completely different years! And it just shows how the Mulder/Scully relationship grew, and it just became more of the same. Two friends who deeply love each other, into two friends who wanted to have children together, but couldn't quite manage to at the time. Both are images that occurred during times of loss, and I felt that that tied those two images together.
If you like any of the other banners, I don't state this explicitly, but everything is shareable :D
Yeah! I'm so glad you liked those icons. I just made them today. Last minute. I think your icons were the very last things I did. I had trouble finding Scully-typing images, so I had to make do with these. I kind of don't like to remake icons I've already made, so if you want more Scully-typing icons, I should have some in my season 1 icons, where she wears that big plaid shirt. IF those season 1 icons are still up. If not, I should reupload them.
This is an amazing gift. I expected one icon. And I would have thrilled to have that. To receive so much is just overwhelming. Thank you. They are perfect.
All of these gifts look wonderful. You have so much talent.
I'm so glad you like these. I had a lot of trouble choosing icons that fit Emily Dickinson's various poetry, so in the end, you got my best approximations. They're not perfect, however, and part of me is unhappy with them. But I should make more poetry icons, and so your request reminded me that I should get back to associating The XF with poetry. It generally works really well.
