A mixed group of smaller factions....

The first icon is one of three that I made in quick succession back in April, all of which turned out, for some reason, to have somewhat rosy tones. Now that would make perfect sense if pink were my favourite colour; but, though I esteem Tracy as a partner for Nick, I've never been a Perkulator. The Pit of Condemned Bimbos Survivalists' icon was in the last lot; this time you have the icon for the Knights of the Cross: the one for the Knights in Darkness is yet to come.

The second icon here gave me much more trouble; and I returned to it several times before I finally came up with something satisfactory. I knew immediately, though, that for the T & V Pack—short, apparently, for Tracy and Vachon Pack (and what it is with these "Pack" names, I don't know!)—I wanted to play with the idea of initials by using wooden blocks. You know: a common children's toy, with letters, numbers, or pictures on each face. For this younger couple, I fancied a return to the nursery, and intended to surround screencaps of the two of them with piles of wooden blocks. However, I just couldn't get the layout to work; and, in the end, I took a slightly different tack.

The last icon is the most recent, completed only a few days ago—and very nice it was, after all that FortuneCity business, to get back to playing with graphics.
