Twenty Bellatrix Bases

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
If anyone ever wants one of these, go ahead and take them.  The only reason these are mine is because I can work the "crop" and "resize" buttons on pixlr.
All feature Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange.

Another batch of Icons

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Darkness Icon 2
"Darkness" - cue Blackmore's Night... *Hums*  Something in the darkness pulled me deeper... something in the madness eased my mind..." (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort)

Please Icon
"Please" - I'm not 100 percent thrilled with this, because I think the shadowing on the hand was too blurry, and it doesn't match the shadowing on HBC's jaw (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix) (yes, that's her as Mrs. Lovett, not Bellatrix.  Deal with it)

Stop Helping Me 2 Icon
"Stop Helping Me" - screenshot from DH pt 2 - I saw the prompt and all I could think was of when Voldemort pushed Bellatrix away in the forest.  *Sobs*  Poor Bella... (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort)

Someday Icon
"Someday" - I think her head's too big here, but I couldn't make it look right... ah well... she's supposed to be dreaming of her wedding day (Candice Night as Narcissa)

I Hate You Icon
"I Hate You" - Looking at the 100x100 icon, they should have been closer together.  Meh.  Sisterly hatred.  (Roma Downey as Andromeda and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix)

Icons

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I am using the prompts from icons100 on livejournal to create my own Harry Potter themed (Gamma-themed, really - lots of Black Sisters, plus some Luna) icons.  I'll be posting them in batches of five, with the prompt, the subjects, and a few notes

Back to Basics Icon
"Back to Basics" - prompt interpreted by me doing a very simple portrait (lightly airbrushed).  (Roma Downey as Andromeda)

War Icon 2
"War" - honestly, does this even need an interpretation?  It's Bellatrix.  Any picture of her fulfills "war" (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix)

Left Behind Icon 2
"Left Behind" - the idea was Luna being left behind by a crowd (Evanna Lynch as Luna)

The Cry Within Icon
"The Cry Within" - note the (very subtle) tear photoshopped onto her cheek.  It's there, I swear it is.  (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix)

Grey Icon 2
"Grey" - obviously, interpreted through greyscale.  (Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix, Roma Downey as Andromeda)
