So, a couple of new Oz icons, and also I've posted those ones I've made for the past three Oz Stills challenges.
Ay, I'm still learning to walk on the straight and narrow path of making textless icons. Texts are usually silly - so of course if you want a textless version, or some custom text added to any of these -- feel free to ask for it.

And as usually, icons are free for adoption, grabbing, or whatever.
And credit is nice, comments are even nicer, but nothing like that is required at all.

I hope that you'll like these!

( 30 icons under the cut )

6 new icons with absolutely inappropriate tom waits quotes and stuff like that.
I call it an effective coffee break.
(of course they are all free for taking.)

+ also these and the couple of new ones posted at oz_icons

So, I made some postcards for the Oz Big Bang, and I decided to post them finally! (You know, I am lazy and stuff like that.)

If you like them and want to use one of them to pimp the challenge on your own Lj then you should go

here

because trillingstar did some awesome amazing coding wonders with them and created a real easy-to-use prettiness you most definitely want to see!

And don't forget to leave comments for her at her journal because she did some real wonderful things with these graphics!

And you can sign up here if you're interested in participating in the Oz Big Bang.

So, Allez! :)

(I post the graphics under the cut here, but these are only the cards, no extras, so you must visit this post to get the fabulous stuff created by trillingstar and the codes for posting them if you want to pimp the challenge!)


( the 10 postcards )

Oh, yeah. I know, it is a kind of an I-fucked-it-up-royally case, the Oz Free for All deadline being so close. So very unpleasantly close.

But I thought I can do it. Actually I have done it, but it became weeeiiiird. Very much.
( the problem is the following little thing... )
PS.: Oh, but knowing that everyone is quite busy at the moment, maybe putting this request up at some comm. would be much more useful? I'm a bit lost about that, if it is a polite thing or not. Or if it is polite to ask it like this.
Or if it is possible at all, or hopeless -- I mean finding some help this late.

So, here are the icons which were requested by michele659!

I really really hope these are likeable enough, 'cause it was a lots of fun to make them, and I really liked the request!
But you know, I can be so nervous before posting things like this - I mean something gift-like...oh, really.

( icons are here )

So, I began to make Oz icons representing different Andersen fairy tales...Just don't ask me how came the idea! (Actually this is a side project for something else...)
Awfully silly, as usual, :)

Anyway I already made these four :



So if you'd like to have any of these, besides the first one, feel free to take it!
(Well, I have never used Oz icons before, but Alvarez as the little match girl is hilarious (and weird) enough for my generally twisted taste...I'm gonna keep that one! *g*)

Though I'm not absolutely sure that this fairy tale idea is not one of those which seems to be funny only for me, hm. :)


And if you have any idea for which tales would fit other characters, (like, O'Reily, Beecher, Keller, Donald Groves, Adebisi, McManus, Murphy, Shirley Bellinger etc.) just let me know! I just couldn't find more ideas for this in this moment! And I so would like to make more of these!

Any ideas?????

(And of course it can be any kind of classic tale, it doesn't have to be Andersen!)

Oh, and of course any new icons here will be free for grabbing, or if you'd like to have one specially made for you, just leave a comment about it, 'cause icon making is fun, and I'd be happy to provide anyone with the silliest Oz icons!

And I am desperately seeking a fairy tale for O'Reily, my dears!!!
(Oh, and btw, I'm not sure Howell would fit into any kind of fairytale, ever...)

Uh, I slipped on the slippery ice shoveling snow today, and I still feel terribly dizzy and all. A mild concussion is the cheepest drug, I guess.
But anyway it was actually very  funny, I flied nicely and all, and the thing I actually wanted to post is this:

s594.photobucket.com/albums/tt24/strawandrain/screencaps/

That's where I began to upload a couple of Oz screencaps of various characters and well, it is terribly disorganized at the moment, but I'll add more later and probably I'll organize them and all.
Of course all of them is free to use for anyone, I uploaded them so people can use them for icon making and stuff. And I'd  be glad if I helped anyone with that.
Yeah, and there are not too much Beecher or Keller pics, cause plenty of screencaps of those two exists around, so these ones are more of the other characters and such. Not too shiny ones, but well, they are still Oz screencaps!

So well, thank god that laptops are already invented, and I was able to post it laying in my bed half asleep. I think I'll doze off in the next minute, so sweet dreams everyone, and be careful with that snow thing!

O, I'm a bit nervous now.... guess it's the famous pre-posting nervousness.

So, roguemarch asked for a fanart/manip showing Toby and Chris living together happily. I had great fun making these pictures for her request, and I hope what I made is likeable!

(Also realized that making anything happy, art or fic, is not really the easiest thing for me. Still, trying is fun. :)

This was the first time I tried to make photo-based stuff, so well, I figured I'll do some made-up polaroids about them living happily together.
So, it's reveal time!

( here is the polaroid stuff! )

Hm, I was collecting a couple of Oz screencaps today, for some completely other purpose
and I realized that Alvarez is just too damn pretty to be completely ignored.
So I did a couple of icons, well, feel free to take them if you'd like, anytime ( hah, not that there are so many people reading my Lj.)

Hm. So I was bored, just that.   :) ( Read more )

important update on this post:

I offered these icons for ozsaur for her request made at the Oz Free For All Challenge, so if you'd like to have the  #4, you should ask her from now on,  because that one belongs to her!

And I hope these are likeable enough to fulfill that request, and I'm glad that I can give these few icons as gifts to a nice person!
( And thanks for trillingstar  generously sharing the request, so the recipient can have two sets of icons of the prisoner with the pretty eyes! )

O, yeah! It is, indeed!
I got my first request fulfilled today! A nice lady wrote a wonderful drabble about Vern Schillinger as a kid!
I'm aware of the fact that actually not too much people is reading my LJ,   but well, I think I gotta advertise that, cause it is a very good drabble.
So if you wandered here, check it out: http://numenora.livejournal.com/134373.html

I'm also very excited about the other offers for stories I got, cause there are very nice people working on those requests, and I'm so happy that I was able to make requests that inspire them to write. Can't  wait to see the results!
