we’ve, er, never seen so much wizard, sir
And with the annual reading of Night Watch comes the annual "Hey I should maybe icon a few of the lesser-known (but still good!) quotes in the book. Possibly. You know." Normally I'm pretty good at ignoring the siren call.

I succumbed this year. And then took about two months to finish them. Sorry.

[25] Terry Pratchett's Night Watch

...Call me paranoid, but after I made #3 I began to get the feeling that someone else had made an icon similar to it. Am I just going slightly bursar crazy for thinking that or does anyone else recognize it as someone else's?

If it is a copy, ohgodI'mreallysorry I'll take it down.

Also! As with all my DW posts, if you've got a favorite quote from Night Watch that you'd love to have icon'd but somehow everyone always skips it when it comes to icon posts, drop me a comment with the whole quote, give me a couple of days and I'll make an icon just for you!

Thanks so much for these. I think 90% of all my quote icons are from Pratchett...

OMG Night Watch quotes! I've been thinking of trying to make some myself, but I'm nervous about making the animated types, and most of the good quotes in this book are so long . . . Thank you, for going through the trouble to make these! I'm snagging a couple.

Animating text is a constant test of patience for me, I swear XD I have to jump-kick myself into doing them more often than not. But don't be nervous about it! It just takes practice :D

Most quote icons tend to be too text heavy (duh) but these are just right :) Thank you for making, will credit if I decide to get any.

I don't know why, but I love doing text icons, but worry constantly that it's too much. So thank you so much for your comment!

I needed the eyeballing one like a very needing thing. Thank you!

I was so busy with other stuff this year, I didn't do my annual re-read of Night Watch. I do believe I need to rectify that very, very soon.

Oooh, fantastic! So many people underestimate the difficulties in creating an effective text-only icon, but you have done exceptionally well!

Thank you so very much! I know a lot of people are leery of text-icons, so I worry when I post a bunch of them. Good to know I'm doing something right ;)
