Wow, I haven't been here for a while. Great job, everyone. There is some gorgeous coloring here.
I was excited to see so many Merlin graphics. I just started watching the show a couple weeks ago, and I love it!
hyaline12, I simply adore your quote signatures! So much in fact that they inspired me to make some of my own!
It's funny, because yours inspired me to finally start reading A Christmas Carol, which has been sitting in my room for about a month now.
hyaline12 I love your Pooh avvies!! may I use one? I'll credit!
Of course! I'm glad you like them!
Heres four. All are of Justine Waddell. They're not very amazing, as they were done awhile ago.
Just a couple of comments. LadyGrace A fellow tobyMac lover!!! We should ask to start a special interest thread. I'm tempted to use that wallpaper. MissAravis All your graphics are amazing. And you like Britt Nicole! Another artist I like. Juliana Very beautiful. Love your layouts. Eruceninde Those are all absolutely gorgeous. Love the sigs.
What is Owl City?
EDIT: For some reason they're small. I don't know why that is. I've started using flickr to upload my pics. Sorry about that.
EDIT2: Just fixed it!
Go Marina Erakovic!

Hello everyone! Long time, no see, eh? I haven't been making many graphics recently, but I see you all have been busy! Good work all around. I did throw together this little batch using 1960s horror movies based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe just now:
I did actually try to make them look like a matching set this time around, which is unusual for me. Inspired by the less-than-ideal quality of some of the pictures, I went for the "dark and grainy" look, which I hope also added to the creepiness of the tone.
C&CC appreciated; anyone may use.

PA: Mighty Ducks? I had forgotten about that movie! The avies look nice, but your sigs seem to look stretched out or squashed.
Kate: Those are some lovely avies of Romola Garai.
Djaq: Love the coloring on #1 and 5! Would you mind doing tutorials on them? #12 is beautiful as well!

MissAravis: 1st post: Nice layout on #2. Who/what is Owl City? I've never heard of it/them. 2nd post: I didn't know that Regina Spektor was so pretty. Is her music any good? (Besides the call, that is) 3rd post: Love the shiny coloring on #1!
PA: I love the fonts you use. What is the print font that you use?
LadyGrace: Beautiful lighting in #3!
Eruce: Beautiful, beautiful coloring in #3 and 4! Would you mind doing tutorials on them? If you can't, I understand.
hyaline12: Ooh! I love the sigs with the quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird! Such a great book!
Rising Star: I didn't realize that line was from A Wrinkle in Time, lol.
Juliana: Nice coloring on #1!
HM: Nice use of light textures. Who is Justine Waddell?
lysander: I like the eerie feel you gave with those!
Just one animated avie from me. It's Emma, of course!
Oh, yeah! Here are some headers/banners that I made. Not for use on NW. Click on the thumbnails.

Wow, I haven't been here in a while! Everything looks amazing!!
I just want to comment on a couple of things really quickly (unfortunately I don't have time to do a lot, sorry!)
Page 20:
MissAravis, I love #1 and 5 of the Owl City icons (in your first post) !! The wallpaper is also awesome! Of your second post, I love the coloring of #7-12!!
LadyGrace, that's an amazing TobyMac WP!! Great job!
hyaline12, the moving Pooh ones are awesome!! Actually, all of them are, but I especially love the second moving one!
lys, those are neat! I like the "dark and grainy" look! I think it looks best on #4!!
Page 21:
I know I'm not the one who was asked, but Owl City is a one-man band by Adam Young. He's the one behind songs such as Fireflies (which is awesome and pretty and I love it to death! ), Vanilla Twilight, Hot Air Balloon, Strawberry Avalanche, etc. I think that the Music thread recently had a discussion about his music if anyone is interested.
Wunder, I love the 2nd and 4th banners!! The blending on #4 is fantastic!! (Out of curiousity, do you know when Emma 2009 will be available on DVD?)
Here's some from me!
More can be found here if anyone is interested.

CC/comments are loved!
She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas!
She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.

To anyone who asked who Owl City is, Maddy already said in her post.
His music is generally considered electropop, it's very catchy and cute... it makes you feel good.
Thank you everyone for the comments,I really appreciate it!
Maddy, I love the text on your first avi, and the coloring on #2 is beautiful! Also, nice cropping (and choice of image!!) on #3
Wunder Lu: Oh yes Regina is very pretty! I love her music, though a lot of it is not really at all like The Call. Her voice and style are definitely unique(she's classified as alternative, indie, anti-folk, etc.), and some people don't like her. I didn't like her other stuff at first but it definitely grew on me. She uses lots of piano. Anyway... I really like your animated avatar! The rain looks amazing! And the banners are beautiful,I think #2 is my fav.
Lys: The "dark and grainy" look works very well! I like the coloring and text on the first one.
HM Swanwhite: I love the first one! I like how you used the 2 images. The little spot of red looks great on the last 3. (Oh, and yay Britt Nicole! Not a ton of people seem to be familiar w/ her music)
aand I'm afraid for this post to be "legal" ( ) I must post some graphic of some sort... so here's 1 avi

Wunderkind_Lucy, you can find the tuts here

Djaq: Yay! Owl City! I like #2.
MissA: I like #5 of your first batch a lot.
Princess Anna: It's about a family in 1939 who get involved in some conspiracy surrounding World War II. The cast is absolutely loaded with big names and great actors and actresses, so that's my primary interest in it.
Wunder: Flawless blending on the last Emma banner!
to legalize this post, some assorted Merlin is in order.
I'm loving all the Merlin!! Yay for new fandoms!
Here are some more quote signatures from me, this time all from The Outsiders (amazing book, I recommend it to everyone ).
P.S."Brooklyn!"
A poem I wrote a while back, that I made a background for today:

"Let no man's ghost return to say his training let him down."
Does anyone have any Legend of the Seeker graphics? I recently discovered the TV show and have become just a little *holds fingers an inch apart* obsessed with it. I would dearly love some great quote-ish graphics!
If this Sig is by you please let me know, because I can't remember
"I am going to live forever, or die trying!"
Thanks for all the lovely comments, everyone! Though I hadn't really planned on doing it, I'm going to go through the last 2-3 pages and give a few individual comments of my own: I just couldn't resist! Apologies to those not included; I just didn't have time for everything.
It's great to see some Glorious 39 graphics, Kate. I particularly love #3 - it's simple but lovely.
hyaline12, awesome batch! I love the TKaM quotes - it's one of my favorite books - and the Christopher Robin/Pooh/umbrella avatar is simply charming.
I love all your quote signatures, Ryan. Great job!
Juliana, I find your fourth avatar quite original and stunning. It really sticks out.
For not being satisfied with them, those Justine Waddell avatars turned out pretty well, HM Swanhite, especially #3.
An odd batch from me:
[1-3] Glorious 39
[4] Emma
[5-11] Excalibur
Anyone can use. C/CC appreciated.
