15 FFVII (original) icons + 12 FFX icons

[auronlu]

It's so much easier to do icons than write when it's hot. I've been good about not wasting air conditioning, but it's been 100 outside for two days and I'm cooked.


SOOooo. I come bearing 27 icons: 12 FFX (3 repeats, sorry; they never made it onto ff_press), and 15 silly ones for FFVII -- the latter are also posted on lolmogz.

Feel free to take with credit; I'd love a comment if you do!

Created with angelamaria's Icon Table Generator @ Bauble

It's hard to track which resources I used on which icons, so instead I keep a master list of those whose textures/brushes/masks I (sometimes) use and credit them every time:
amethystia100, contradictz, david_lucena, arisubox, astarte59, emoicon, masquerade_arts, neke, phlourish_icons, quebelly, starlit_designs, sanami276, theoicons, webgoddess, and (most of all) colorfilter, meleada, and Rainharbor/Bruno's Honeypot.

So, random thing that has nothing to do with icons (I am lame and can't find an email for you anywhere), but I just got done reading Memories of a Guardian (which, by the way, was beautiful as ever-- your descriptions of magic are absolutely sumptuous. I could lose myself in them. To me Lulu as a person is inseparable from the part of herself that is so inherently black mage, and it fits her down to the ground, so to read your descriptions of it makes exquisite reality of what I'd always imagined in my head), and I was curious-- where did those illustrations that look like they came out of an old bestiary come from? Were they Photoshopped, or are those some actual Square-licenced images? Because they're simply beautiful.

But yes, anyway, carry on... I just had to sate my curiosity there.

(Also, btw, I misremembered your journal name as helluin. That journal turns out to be, um... special.)

They're all Square images -- a lot are concept art or embarrassingly copyright-trampling scans from the Ultimania series of books, only available in Japan. I have spent far too much time scouring the web for such images.

However, I then Photoshopped the heck out of them with various filters and textures to make them resemble block prints or hand-drawn illustrations in manuscripts as well as I could.

"Helluin" was the name I meant to take, but I got username and login name reversed when registering, so I've gotten used to auronlu now.

Anyway, I've wound up writing no LOTR fanfic in ages, so "Helluin" isn't appropriate anyway. Being a word from Tolkien, it's gotten snapped up by somebody.
