Thanks! (People have commented on the blog, of course; but it's nice to
have something on FORKNI-L as well. Seems more *real*, somehow.)
There is indeed a Knighties icon in the works. I didn't go with the full
"knight" symbol, but limited myself to a helm and a sword in order to
balance it with a couple of things pointing to Nick's current life as well.
The icon isn't quite ready yet. I'm still searching for a good background
to use.
I also have an idea of what I want to do with the Twilight Knighties--and a
vague notion about the Dark Knighties. One problem with these factions is
coming up with suitable symbolism, though. I don't want to repeat myself!

I was surprised that I didn't see any other comments on the list, and
I wanted you to know that your work is being appreciated. I'm not
much of a person for LJ, even though I have an account, so I don't
even think to check the comments there (or leave one myself <g>).

Take your time. You're very good at graphics, and the icons you've
come up with so far are terrific. I'm sure you'll find something
eventually that will be the perfect fit.

Nothing like a long weekend to provide the time to finish icons that need
that final polish. So here's another trio for you to look at:

Finally, finally...the FoDs get their icon. (It needed a slightly different
background to look its best.) And it was Laurie of the Isles who suggested
that I add the honey dipper to the UF icon. As for the Die-Hards--I based
this on the logo and symbol I did when I added my War 13 posts to my
website.
Enjoy!
