Light in Dark Places

[pegkerr]

Has anyone seen a good icon (which I can take) which is about Frodo, and that line of Gandalf's about him: "He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can." Either that, or an icon on "Light in Dark Places." Anyone?

Edited to add: Thanks, linithiliel!

Could you make one, using whatever program/system you used to create your mood theme? I'd offer, but I'm not very good at making icons that look more than "passably serviceable".

I gotta get Rob to load it on the laptop. I have an Apple now, and they don't make that program for the Apple. *cries*

I'd be happy to make you one. I'm making icons for lots of people these days, and I love doing it.

callanuv may make something for me by reducing the image at the top of this page (which is a crop from this image), but if you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to see them. Thanks!

[copperwise.livejournal.com]

I'll play with the idea, and see what happens. :)

It turns out that linithiliel has a lovely one already that she's giving me; see the thread here.

I, too, would be pleased to make one for you. I don't know what images work for you for evoking Tolkein, though. Would you like movie images? Or something else specifically Tolkein? Or something that works with the words, but is not, in and of the image, a Tolkein reference?

My right brain needs stretching. :)

You'd want something a bit different for the first quote (which I have some ideas about, and would be entertaining to play with) but for "a light in dark places" if you want/don't mind movie pics, this seems like a good/classic choice. (Warning, the image is HUGE. I couldn't fins any smaller versions to link to.) Yes? No? Bleah, ptui? :)

Actually, before I posted this, I found this page, which had a crop from the image you found at the top, and I think it would work, but although I poked around my new computer quite a bit, trying to find some software on my new system to reduce it in size, I don't have any on my new computer. Could you reduce it for me?

[callunav.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Do ou want just the hand-and-light, or the whole figure? And do you want text on it?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

If you use the whole figure, it might seem kinda small. Maybe just crop of the upper body, and then one of just the hand and light. Would you mind making them both with text and without, so I can see which I'd like?

Whoops! Okay, great. Glad you've got something. Let me know if there's anything else I can play with for you - I quite enjoy the exercise.

Any Mac user would be well-advised to pick up the latest iteration of the marvelous shareware program GraphicConverter! It was the best shareware fee I ever paid. New iterations are often included in the disks from MacAddict and the like.

You might also want to check out the book_icons LJ community, where there are lots and lots of yummy icons.

Hey, thanks! I wasn't aware of that one. I'll check it out.

Do you like this? You're welcome to use it if you do.

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's lovely! Thank you!

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

You're entirely welcome.

Obviously it isn't at all what you were looking for, but I'm rather fond of my Sam + Cher lyrics icon. :D
