The White Tree - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eowyn Skywalker · 06-19-2004, 11:09 PM

I PMed B.W a long time ago, and never got a reply... I'd've liked to have used the icon too... but no such luck, as I never got an answer.

Maybe you should PM him... I don't think I want to try again *is afraid of Mr Wight*. Plus, the tree is still better than mine.

I'm a bit afraid af the Barrow-Wight myself. (Knowing my luck, he'll post about that) I love your little axe too, ES. (may I call you ES? I heard you don't like to be called just 'Eowyn')

On topic: I'm a tad late, but the little tree is cute! And I love what The Saucepan Man did.

When mark10_20 sent me the White Tree icon, I immediately could see that it belonged on the Downs. It was crisp, clear and complete - you could see the entire item - and it looked good hanging in the darkness of the barrow. Since that is how I had designed all of the exisiting forum icons, it was an easy choice to add the tree to our roster.

Unfortunately, I don't like the axe very much. It's a bit larger than our icons, and it is incomplete - only the axe head is visible. Also, it's color is pale and washed out looking. I appreciate the effort you took to make it, but I just don't feel I can use it. mark10_20's tree was the first icon I had ever used that I hadn't personally created, because I have always been picky about the graphics on the site. I intend to continue being picky, but that doesn't mean you can't try again.

If I like an icon that someone sends to me, I just might use it. Since each post can only have one icon, there's no way someone can abuse them by filling the screen with them (like smilies). So, there's no reason why we can't have a larger list.

Eowyn Skywalker · 06-20-2004, 07:07 PM

Yeah, E.S. is fine, or Eowyn, since I've grown out of the screaming stage... snrk. So Eowyn will work, or Eowyn S., or E.S.... doesn't really matter, I was merely being immature, on MY OWN SITE!!! I don't know whether I was screaming about my full name here... wait, you are on my site... right.

I see your point, Mr Wight... it wasn't THAT clear... *I told you the tree was better, Perky*. Hmmm... maybe I'll try again... I still think we need an axe, so I'm going to persist! *makes odd face* Effort? I took about ten minutes doing that icon... snrk. But if B.W. made the icons... well... wow... he's a GOOD graphics designer!

*hops away, glad that she is still alive... snrk, and is still very afraid of the mods*

And I am incredibally picky on my own site, so I understand the Barrow Wight very well there... *goes off to make sure that the windows didn't stretch all weird again, and make a new axe icon, or something of the like...*

Eowyn, just scale it down, and redo the color, and resubmit it! I'd love to be able to use it. I tried doing a Beacon of Gondor, but it didn't come out too well. I'm thinking of doing an Isengard, or a horn of gondor, but it will have to wait. Oh well...

The Perky Ent · 09-11-2005, 07:11 PM

Does anyone know a good, free program i can use to paint with on Mac. I still wanna see that axe, but I don't have the means to do it.

I understand why the barrow wight is against it. That's why I, because I haven't heard from Eowyn in a why, wanna see if I can reforge it. I was also thinking about making a horn of Gondor, and a beacon.

Alcarillo · 09-11-2005, 07:30 PM

Perky, I think a horn of Gondor would be great. I'm just worried that there will be too many Gondor icons.

I think a leaf would make an excellent addition to our collection of icons, too.

EDIT: I just made a nice leaf in a paint program, and now I just need to figure out how to stick it online.

EDIT (again):
