GIP!

Because
a) you can never have too many Snape icons (he's the little black dress of fandom);
b) it fits in perfectly with one of the main points in my Convention Alley presentation, and will be a good reminder to me that I really need to write that outline and essay;
c) I'm very pleased with the results I'm getting as I'm learning more about text and brushes in Photoshop; and
d) I thought it was about time somebody used hymn lyrics on an icon, and the quote here reflects what I believe about myself, and my own relation to God.

So there you have it.

Lovely icon for all reasons listed!

[golf clap] Well done indeed.

At least on this monitor, though, the 'only a sinner' text is a little hard to read. Might you consider sticking a layer under the text and Smoothing a little airbrushed dark colour underneath the letters? That usually works like a charm for me.

'Tis lovely. I was admiring it last night, in lieu of writing my assignment.

Love the icon -- yep, you've summed up all my reasons for it, right there.

Very nice job! Both on the photoshop-ness and on the icon itself. I really like the text in relationship with Snape, but then I'm such a redemptionalist when it comes to Severus Snape, I suppose I couldn't help but like it.

I also just really love the colours. And the background, mind if I ask how you did it?

"(he's the little black dress of fandom)" *chuckle* Doesn't that conjure up an image or two . . . ;-)

But it's a lovely icon. And I can't come to Convention Alley, but I can hardly wait to hear all about your presentation once you get back from it. The text of your paper *must* be posted where we can all read it.

*scrolling back up to enjoy icon again*

Icon is very nice. He's got a great expression.
