"Everyone out of the Twilight!"

[nano_moose]

So...

I might have read Night Watch and thought it was kind of cool.

And I might have picked up a copy of the movie for cheap.

And I might have taken a bazillion screens with VLC.

And I might have coincidentally downloaded GIMP.

And I...might have iconed. A bit. Kinda.

Er.

I am not very experienced, and I think it shows because I immediately hated every one of these after uploading them, but er. Here they are, anyway.







...I go hide now.

ETA: And then I made some more, to satisfy my masochism! Two of them are from The Ghost With Black Fingers. Try and guess which ones!

I've never read or seen it!

But I like your icons. They are pretty. :D Especially the first two. Though they're also kinda creepy almost? (That is part of why I like them, I think...) Maybe it is the black. And I like the middle one but that might just be because it is very blue. Also, I don't really know what's going on in the second to last one. (Didn't get the last one for a bit, but then I figured it out. Now I can't see what I was seeing before, though I think the guy's face was something's teeth somehow. I am hot and tired and incoherent. My apologies.)

But yes! I think they are nice.

The second to last one is Anton's (the guy) hand half-gripping a fluorescent bulb, and I may have overdone it with the contrast on that one, eh heh.

Night Watch is the first in a tetralogy, concerning a group of humans with magic powers, called the Others, who can shift in and out of of a layer of reality known as the Twilight. There are Light Others and Dark Others, and they're caught in this sort of Cold War wherein either side attacking the other would result in everyone's death.

The Night Watch is a group of Light Others who watch the Dark Ones, and the Day Watch a group of Dark Ones who, well, yeah. If one side does something without permission and the opposing Watch finds out, it gives the other side the right to do something equal - say a Light One rekindled a fading love, that would give a Dark One the right to completely destroy somebody else's marriage.

It's nothing amazing, but I think I have a thing for layers of reality. And organizations based around magic and the regulation of magic. And Anton is kind of oddly adorable, for all that he spends roughly eighty percent of his page time bitching about the rules.

Thank you! I did enjoy making them a lot, even though GIMP is all weird for somebody who was taught to use Photoshop. I might make a few more later.

Ooh, okay! Now I see it!

That sounds neat! I might try and pick up a copy or something, because, yeah, the layers of reality stuff is something I find really interesting. And because that is all I need, something else to read and/or watch...
