Like, when LJ was still good and not crap in the pre-everyone bailing on that trainwreck era.

YAY! Thank you. I totally forgot about this. I made a few more I need to post here.
Oooh those new ones. Did you use a program to make those?

I used photoshop. at first I tried to carefully trace the images I found with my tablet, but that looked beyond horrible. So I used the line tool(Which is surprisingly really freaking hard to get to look right.), to make the out lines painted in the white, erasing what went out of the lines(I think I used a red back ground to see the white, and outlines better.) then I filled in the background with black. To get the shadow effect I was just totally lazy and used the bevels filter thingy.
I want to do the Urbanus rank things, and guild symbols, all the other symbol stuff too, but I'll have to use GIMP to line the curves. That stuff is a lot harder to get to look right. I tried to do Delphine's facial markings, and it looked as horrible as her personality.
