Ostiant or Chalenduin

So I've been thinking about how there are people out there who make Magnificent Seven icons, but there are very few who also create larger sized graphics, such as banners/headers, collages and wallpapers.

The recent BigBang showed that very clearly. We had to open up artist sign ups for people who were participating as writers, and then on top of that, have the artists create art for two writers. All of them rose to the occasion, but it wasn't an easy task. I'd like to see more artists participate in the next BigBang - which we will hopefully have. (I'd also like to see fanmixers, but that's a whole 'nother topic.)

For that purpose I've created a comm, mag7wallpapers, and I'd like to invite all Mag7 fanartists to think about expanding to larger sized graphics - not necessarily wallpapers - and start posting in the comm. I intend to eventually post all my graphics there, to have them all in one location on Dreamwidth. There's nothing much there at the moment, but you're more than welcome to join. :)

I must have the worst luck in the world. My vacation plans for this year were totally ruined by summer school and retake exams, and after that was taken care of, my back started acting up. Again. Twice in as many months. I was incapacitated for days. The worst thing is that I get the feeling that my doctor, and quite a few of my family member, don't believe that I'm actually in pain. I just returned from my home town, and I will attempt (again) to convince my doctor to send me in for some tests.

Like my plans for a shiny vacation, my plan to participate in naarmamo failed utterly. :facepalm: I guess I'll try again next year. :sigh:

[Lotsa cuts cause I previewed this thing and it was LONG! ]

( Some good things: couple of weeks ago I came across Firefly and fell head over heels in love.  )

( And then I discovered Castle. )

( Free albums! )

The first one is the infamous "A gentleman does not debase himself by engagin' in menial labor." scene. Ezra P. sure enjoys his flask a lot more than working in the hot sun!



And the second one is based on the final scene from The New Law. It's one of my favorite (if not the favorite) scenes, with all of them walking together as one down the street.



ETA: This was posted during Three Weeks for Dreamwidth; since it's been three weeks, I'm crossposting this to LJ now for those who haven't seen it before. (And sorry for the deluge of posts today!)

pezgirl7 just took part in the icons! meme, and prompted my trip down the memory lane when I saw on of her icons based on the behind-the-scenes photos of the regular and recurring actors.

I checked with Pez, and she said she doubted there would be any issues in uploading the photos to an LJ album, so I did:
Mag7 Behind the Scenes for those of you who haven't seen it before.

Hi there!

I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but things haven't been that great for me lately.  I was only able to make one new wallpaper - of Chaucer (and Ezra), no less! - and a variation of the Ezra DVD wallpaper. 

The credit for Chaucer's name goes to Kristin, and I've read so many NotTasha's stories with him in them that that's how I see him.  



The other one is, like I said, a variation of Ezra's wallpaper.  Since his was the first one I made, and since the other boys got nice quotes and little pictures at the bottom of the wallpaper, I thought I should rectify that oversight:


(PS - There's another one in the gallery, not much difference, just some extra text.  You will also find two more old ones of Ezra in "Serpents".)

Like always, comments are welcome!

Here's the promised Mag7 s2 cover.  I'm hoping somebody (nudge, nudge pezgirl7) will tell me whether there are any major difference between the UK and US versions.  Anybody?

These wallpapers were made using the stills I took from the second season of the Magnificent Seven.  A friend of mine went to the UK, and got them for me as a gift!

I don't know if the UK version is any different from the US version.  I think I read somewhere that the back of the DVD has a short sinopsis of each episode - that is absent on my DVD.  If there's someone who has the US version, I'd be willing to upload the scan and compare notes.

On to the wallpapers: I made two so far, one Ezra, and the other one Chris.  

So, here's Ezra:



and Chris:



So, are they cool or what? ;)

Oh, and BTW, there were people who were looking for the color version of that Ezra picture.  Well, here it is, so anybody who wants it, can take it and crop it.  

That's all, folks!

I come bringing gifts, though they have nothing to do with Halloween.  I've been very busy, making wallpapers, and since I've neglected my darlin' Ezra in the past, this is my chance to rectify it. 

You'll find plenty of wallpapers in my journal, just follow the link and leave comments if you like them.

Much obliged!















Here's one that looks like a hardcover:

And one for all the Mary fans:

Well, I've finally finished my Animal series for the boys.  It was difficult to decide which animal to use for Nathan Jackson, but I finally settled on raven, suggested by wolfandboarfics.  So, here it is - and I hope you'll like it as much as you liked the other ones; he certainly gave me a headache!
