I've been searching for Charles de Lint icons to no avail so I scanned in a couple of images. I can't be the only de Lint fan around! After a few attempts I've discovered that I really have no icon making skills, but offer these few images if anyone would like to play.

I really have no icon making skills

I wouldn't say that -- you seem to be off to a good start. ;-)

Thanks! I've been on a kick today with the Charles de Lint and a few fruce inspired Nick Bantock icons, to be posted soon.

They're beautiful, and I agree about De Lint. I've loved him since I read Moonheart when it first came out. It is totally nifty that the book is in print again.

I agree! I read Dreams Underfoot on a 3 1/2 day bus trip from Maine to San Francisco about 10 years ago and have been in love with him since. And, thank you.

I think you're very good! :) I'm not taking any of the de Lint icons but I would really like to know if you made your Griffin & Sabine icon yourself, and if you have any that are like it and that I can use. :)

I didn't make the one I'm using. It was done by the extremely talented fruce. Go back through earlier entries here and you'll find at least 2 posts of Nick Bantock icons. I have been working on a series and plan to post them here in the next few days.

You have a good eye for composition. Keep practicing.

I'm a de Lint fan as well. Read Moonheart when it first came out (about 15 years ago?) and fell in love with it. Have worn out 2 copies and given maybe a dozen as gifts.

If you have a copy of the original publication, would love to see a scan of the cover. "Saraken" is one of my favorite heroines.

I do have the original Moonheart but it's in storage. If I can dig it out I'll make sure to post. And thank you, I'm having fun with them. I don't have much in the way of imaging programs, so no fancy brushes or anything yet. They're pretty basic.

Hey, you can join my 'I have no icon-making skills' club. XD~
But you really don't, these are nice. And I'm a de Lint fan too. ^^

Thanks! It's certainly fun playing. And de Lint has such wonderful images for his work. I'm in absolute awe right now at the icons thinkum just posted!

It is... I've been trying to do some stuff with ASOUE screencaps, but.. ::shrug:: maybe I'll post it if I like it.
Same here. They are snazzy. And I envy the work of the book jacket/cover artists, too! Meow, talent is pretty. ^^
