LOL!  Greer, you come up with this wonderful faction icon idea and put
in so much work, and then we (including me) start asking for changes and
bigger icons and wallpaper, and who knows what we'll come up with next.
It gives a lot of credence to the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished."

Isn't this a bit like asking someone who is writing sonnets (or haiku!) if
they wouldn't be happier turning their hand to writing epic poetry?  There
is, actually, a certain fun in meeting the challenge of the highly formatted
ultra-tiny.  Anyway, there are still quite a number of factions left to go.

Done.  You can find them here:
http://greerwatson.livejournal.com/10495.html  I also included the Cousins
and Light Cousins, because the detail of the mosaic border wasn't clear at
icon size; the Dark and Unholy Trinities so more detail could be seen of the
faces and symbols; and the CotK and Dark Knighties, because they are fairly
complex.   (There are some other candidates for enlargement that need work
before they are fit to be seen at a bigger size.)

They're not all the same dimensions.  The Ravenettes (at 200px) is decidedly
the smallest; but I did so much work on the wine glass that it was
impossible to increase the size without the edges of the glass looking quite
ragged.

    More like offering an idea to help someone do something challenging if
they want to, but I do get your point.  :-)

    Yep, I've tried it myself and I lack the knack and the interest to
practice enough to get one.
    Now...ask me about building small software programs...and I'm always
pleased by an elegant design that is very compact and useful.

        And the Dark Trinity to boot....
    Thank you.    Thank you.
    Much appreciated.

I have also been thinking the same. There is so much details, that I am
afraid, all is not possible to see with the current size of icons.
But neverthelesss, the icons are really great. They seem to consolidate the
essence of the many factions and also quite a lot of the atmosphere of the
show.

Yours sincerely
