Hey folks. No Inevitable update today, alas. I'm aiming for tomorrow at this point.

However, I have two things for you.

1. An Anita Blake drabble! It's fluffy and Anita and Zane, but frankly, I needed some pard-centric happiness. Refuse To Take, up over at abvh100.

2. I finally made a Nathaniel icon. Do you know how strange violet eyes and auburn hair look together? Anyway:

Thanks be to jjjean65 for the base.

ETA: The guy in that icon is William Moseley, who was Peter in the Chronicles of Narnia movie. And don't look at me like that. He's almost 19.

And a moment for a photoshop squee: Did you know you can use the erase tool with *any* brush? So happy!

*sighs* i wish i could make icons, dang it. mine are funky compared to, say, yours.

of course, it would help if i used photoshop more than once every two years... or owned it...

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Photoshop is a learned skill. There's icon tutorials on the internet, if you'd like me to hook you up with some. Hints and such that really help.

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

that would be cool, but i don't have photoshop at home so... *shrugs*

like i said earlier, this is about the best i can do. *points at sirius*

That's so pretty! Excellent job. Will read the fic later . . . after dinner. :)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's so pretty. Enjoy dinner :)

This is off topic, but did you ever watch 'La Femm Nikita' the television series?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Nope. Why?

[eiranea.livejournal.com]

That is a gorgeous icon. Who's the guy that you've used for Nathaniel, he looks really familiar?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It's William Moseley, who was Peter in the Chronicles of Narnia.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice. Who is the 'actor'?

Yes, you can erase with any brush. Neato, no? I love PSCS.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It's William Moseley, the guy who played Peter in that Narnia movie.

I've got PS7, I think. It's still a fun toy :)

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

I knew he looked familiar!

PS7 is good. I've got GIMP, the PS emulator, on my Linux machine and it does a fairly good job. Not as many bells and whistles, but easy.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Did the install go okay, then? You're zipping along at top speed?

[sorceress-death.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, purdy icon. I've been on a Doctor Who icon spree today though. ^^ I *still* haven't seent that movie! *le sigh*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Narnia's good. Good clean fun. Or, a freaky terrifying movie. But in a good way. Those kids are so cute. It's a wonderful world they created.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

William was a good choice for a Nathaniel icon. I loved the movie, I'm so excited their making another one!
_{and I totally understand...as long as their over 17, I say 'why not??' lol (considering I'm only 19 myself...=P}

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'm 27. It's just wrong.

William was a good choice for a Nathaniel icon

He's got that boyish innocence about him, with a wicked smile. He's going to be a heartbreaker in a few years.

Moseley/Nathaniel

*is amused* As Anita occasionally angsts about Nathaniel's relative youth, there is a funny sort of appropriateness to your choice and that comment.

Re: Moseley/Nathaniel

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

*pokes* you know what I mean.

but yeah :)

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Eh...he's almost 19, that's legal age here in the frozen north (lol)
(I had a friend...17...go out with a 27 year old. Ten years inbetween em!)

As for being a heartbreaker, he really will be. I forsee it! ;)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

*eyebrows* legal for what, exactly? Age of consent in Canada's 14.

and no, I will not tell you how that came into my knowledge in my university career, other than to say it wasn't like that

However.

My mum met my dad when she was 18 and he was 30. It weirds me out to this day, so I never think about it.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know the consent age, gotta love sex ed class. I dunno, 19 just seems reasonable to me, since you know, the legal drinking age and all.

and no, I will not tell you how that came into my knowledge in my university career, other than to say it wasn't like that
I wouldn't have even suggested it! There's tons of ways people can find stuff out like that. I always thought the consent age was 16 until I was informed otherwise!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

yeah, don't mind me. I'm being difficult. It's been a looooong day. I wrote all of that latest IN chapter today.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Oh I totally understand long days!

...and about the IN chapter? All I can say is SQUEE! =D It's amazingly well done for being written just today, one of my favourtie chapters so far, to be sure ;)

[firesongvx.livejournal.com]

Oh, beautiful icon! The whole youth-innocence-yet-lingering-wickedness about his face suits Nathaniel quite well. Excellent choice!

Haven't seen the Narnia movie, due to my wretched work schedule and the absurd prices at the theatre, but I probably should. It looks quite good.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

The whole youth-innocence-yet-lingering-wickedness about his face suits Nathaniel quite well.

Exactly. There's something about his smile.... anyway, with the large volume of promo pictures for that movie, I'll never run out of raw material if I want to make another icon.

The movie's really good. Very faithful to the book and with great acting by the kids.

[vivnow.livejournal.com]

I love your Nathanial icon. Nice work. I sent you a virtual beer.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

*hugs* thanks so much! That's one of nicest things I've had happen to me all month. *hugs again*

[needlessnoodles.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I love the new icon. I couldn't even tell that was Moseley. Makes a beautiful Nathaniel, though. Oddly enough, no I didn't know you could us any brush with the erase tool. (Want's to go play around now).

Violet eyes with auburn hair is pretty strange; especially in real life. I have a friend whose in love with Nathaniel and tried to pull off his look. I don't think it worked very well. He doesn't have the facial features for it.

I can't wait for the next update on Inevitable. There isn't enough HP/AB stories out there. Oh well, I work with what I got.

--Angel--

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It's amazing what a change of hair colour can do. I mean, my Inevitable icon (see this entry) has Denise Richards as Anita and no one ever sees its her, with the dark hair and eyes.

Anyway

I originally had the Nathaniel icon with much more vivid purple eyes, but that was just too odd.

And the next Inevitable update is up.
