Last-minute, shameless plugging of another comm.

Hello Reprobates! Merry Christmas!

It's now Christmas day in New Zealand, but for most of you I figure it's still Christmas Eve. Therefore, I come bearing a link.

Y'all may have noticed the comm. which Anachred set up and mentioned a couple of posts down - may I say it is very excellent and fun?  Overanalysing cover art is the purpose, and last night I posted on my favourite Queen's Thief cover - the British version of QoA. Because how could we pass up the opportunity to comment on the awesomeness that is Queen's Thief in general? Feel free to head on over to judging_covers to join in the discussion or even better, join the community, because it's awesome fun.

Here is the Queen of Attolia post: Fake LJ cut to post

Merry Christmas all!

ICON LOVE!!!!!!!
Shouldn't it be a thief, though? XD

Thanks! :)

*groans* that's what tencups said. You would not believe the trouble I had to make this icon. I tried to draw a stick-figure thief on first,but it didn't look all that great. So I tried to find a picture of someone asleep in grass or even by a road and nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. I could find NOTHING. If you can find a good picture for this, I'd be eternally grateful.

How 'bout this? I found a profile of a friend of mine and rotated it so it looks like he's asleep. However, my computer hates me, so I can't upload icons right now without hours of pain. Here's the link to what I came up with:

thanks heaps, tle! That worked really well. I managed to tidy up the edge of the figure in paint as well, but all credit to you for the figure.

*offers icon* Feel free to take!

Oh, that looks better! I had trouble with the selection tool.
I madly wish I could use the icon. But my computer hates me and won't let me upload them. :-(
Ah well. And if some kid says, 'where'd you get that picture of me!' I don't exist, ok?

[tearoha.livejournal.com]

Ok :)
My computer also hates me. It likes to crash whilst I am in the middle of essays, photo uploadings, lengthy posts, ect.

Oh that's a really cool cover and just a beautiful illustration in general. Thanks for sharing!
