Lately I've been getting into icon making. this is really nothing special. i worked for quite a while on this one for my livejournal, then discovered that the file size was over 3 times too big, so i had to butcher it so i could use it. So i decided to post the original here so all that work wasn't for nought. from the begining to the final very butchered product i spent about 2 1/2 hours. this icon took maybe 20 mins. the rest was in trying to cut the size down. anyway... enjoy, and for those who are unenlightened, this is the prayer from the movie boondock saints.

I just want to step back for a sec and say Wow. I never thought when I posted this it would become my most popular piece with hundreds of views, and people still commenting and faving it well over 2 years later. Thanks, all.
Ooh...I love that prayer, it's too pretty. Especially when they're chanting it together, it seems almost otherworldly. Heh...that was an awesome movie, and you made an awesome icon.
