Aesir: Items to spend those HPs on...

I had asked Odin if he was going to arrange for some item tags for Aesir, since HPs are what we are earning in this forum, and most of the Pantheon items don't seem to apply to us, at least not yet. I said if he weren't planning on getting any, I would then donate the HPs to cho, because she does have a long term Pantheon item in mind...

But noooo.
Our good SomeFather turned it back on me, and said...

Well, so.
I did a little asking around, and found there is a template to create item tags in photoshop, and it was offered to me to work with.
Thanks AllFather!

Now, I've only played around with photoshop for a couple of months and resizing images to fit this template was not easy for me to figure out. And I found if our avatars were more wide than high, it tended to get really distorted. So, some of us have the same image for our tag, but I searched out other images if I just could not make our own avatars work.

So, Agapé offers these as a gift to the Naerani (hmm, unsure if that's right, but I took a shot) Pantheon. If the image doesn't suit you, find one you like that is taller than wide and PM it to me. I'll be happy to make another tag and see how it looks.

Once we all have agreed upon tags (if everyone should want one), I'll send them to ~jay and ask him to upload them to the stores so we could then place them under our avatars. Would y'all be cool with having them in the Pantheon store?

Anyway, without further ado...

For Agapé's Love to flow on to Narie...

Alcifer's hands of Healing sooth the world, and all should know the balm they bring...

Ceanusar's Reality affects us all, whether we will or no...

Diana's bounteous Seas embrace all the lands...

Lliannon Aine sends Dreams to ease us through the nights...

Nergal awaits us all in the realm of Death...

Serloth Lorekeeper knows his worth, his Knowledge is abundant...
Image

Tepes gleefully watches the darkness of Undeath arise...
Image

UrUk loves the Animals among us, beasts that we all may be...
Image

Velt blesses the world with abundance from Nature himself...
Image

...and finally, for the SomeFather. I hope the search for an appropriate symbol turned up a proper icon.
Image

I enjoyed learning how to make these, and admit I had to redo the first three or four before I figured out the most effective method for me. Let me know if you wish something different; these are simply ideas of how I view the tags. I'll be happy to redo them.

Enjoy.

Oh, I am so glad, Furls!
I hated having to crop the image as much as I needed to.

If you were interested in a different avatar, and I used the same image to create one, it would look something like this...

...I'll never come close to Brian's Edgetar's, but I am having fun learning photoshop. Image
