Honorverse: Icons

  • Jun. 13th, 2012 at 12:19 PM

Title: Icons
Fandom: Honor Harrington
Rating: PG
Length: 5 icons
Characters: Honor, Mike, Eloise & Elizabeth.
Content notes: Background images are from the covers for the french editions of the novels. Quotes are lines that caught me from the relevant novel - I'll make this a complete set eventually, I think.
Summary: My normal response to wanting icons for something used to be to find the base images and then beg my flist, but I thought I'd give making them myself a go again.


Honor Among Enemies

Mission of Honor

At All Costs

On Basilisk Station

Storm from the Shadows

Oh cool! I don't think I've ever seen icons for books before, and these are so pretty! :-)

Thank you!

I do see book icons very occasionally, but they tend to be fan-art based. Most book covers just aren't conducive to iconning, but in this case, I found these versions of the covers, then found the version without any text ... and well. They are pretty in a way that a lot of sci-fi illustrations aren't. I use them as wallpaper on my computer without any mods as well.

These are lovely. Mind if I grab one? I'll make sure I credit you.

Please feel free - just credit and tell me which one you've taken? I take it as a huge compliment someone wants to grab one!

Oh wow these are really nice! Both the quotes you've chosen and the visuals.

Thank you! I have to say the style of the artist who produced the covers I'm using as bases makes the difference, I think - he's also put decent size, textless versions up on DeviantArt which means not have to trim round or fill in the gaps from text.
