So many beautiful avatars/icons have come from fan art, and much of that fan art comes from right here in TLC's own Fan Art Gallery! This thread is a place to put those avatars for everyone to admire and use. If you post your icons in here (and we hope you do!), make sure to credit the artist by giving the artist's name and linking to either the original piece or the artist's website. That way, this thread can also be a way for people who like to make avatars to find other fan artists' work they might want to use in the future. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Note: This thread is only for avatars made with fan art. If you have other Harry Potter avatars you'd like to share, please do right here. If you've got Harry Potter avatars that specifically relate to Deathly Hallows, pop over to this thread and post them there!

Here are a couple of examples by Hagiographer13--

Tonks by Hito


Phlegm by Makani

First off I want to say that Fan Art Avatars are truly my favorite ones around. I got into making icons because of Fan Art (specifically Marta's work) and I felt it could easily be addapted into icons. Some of my most recent Fan Art Icons are below

using art by the wonderful Marta (known as seviet) whose art can be found here

and are icons featuring art by reallycorking an artist who has art in our own fan art gallery.

One of the last icons I'm going to share is done with art by mudblood428 (who is also in our galleries!)
This icon is just a small bit from her picture titled "And So Do I" a fantastic piece showing a moment between Dumbledore and Harry.

I wanted to present an avatar for each of our first three Featured FanArtists--

Our first FFA was Caladan. I did this avatar from her fantasy image of Albus and Aberforth at the Hogshead Inn--

Here in the FanArtist Gallery

For April, the featured artist was Elzora and her Hogwarts staff pictures. Here is Madame Hooch--

In the FA Gallery

Our most recent featured artist is Hito. I was very impressed with her take on Harry.

In the Gallery here

It's nice to be able to see (and use) different visual impressions of the characters and scenes from these books we all love so dearly.

I recently made this avatar
using with Marta's (known as seviet) art (which can be found here) and this icon with art by reallycorking of our own fan galleries for an icontest called ginny_challenge

I really need to branch out and make icons that aren't of Ginny... But she's my favorite!

Here are a few of my avatars that I have made with FanArt.... (and yes, you can tell that I like Makani's work a lot.....)

One of my fave characters is Luna, and Makani drew her on top of a thestral with her magificent aloof face..... (I colored the drawing... luckily it's small enough you cannot see the mess...)



I dont ship as much, but I do have a favorite ship (which is cannon also!!!!), and I love the different interpretations of them from different artists, so here are 2 avatars of Hermione/Ron, one by Makani and the other by Hito

May I use one?

I love this one, so I'm ganna steal it! Will credit the wonderful Hagiographer13 and Hito!

I'm ganna start doing FanArt icons as well, so look for some soon.

I made these very, very simple ones by Caladan_dd:





*Edited to post link

Here is another one I did from Makani's wonderful Valentine's image of Arthur and Molly Weasley --

They are SO CUTE!

Aww - too cute, Hagiographer13 - I love it! These avatars are great. I love fan art - and the avatars you guys come up with are really clever. Keep it up!

Dear Makani updated her site with another chapter of the HBP project (insert loud )

And so, she drew 2 of my favorite guys..... and of course, I coudnt resist to make an avatar....



I find them too sweet!!!!

(And yes, I do ship Luna and Neville.....)

That avatar is adorable! I get so excited whenever Makani Updates her HBP project!
(And yes I also ship Luna and Neville... )

Here are a couple new FanArt avatars I made.

The first is by Potter FanArtist Sherant, showing Harry and the Felix Felicis potion --

FA Gallery link

And with art by our Featured FanArtist Martintenbones, a not-so-luscious Lucius Malfoy --

FA Gallery link

Such great art to choose from . . .

I worship Makani. I really love her Malfoys and nasty Bella. These two belong to her.

I LOVE LOVE this one! The subtle font in the background is a fantastic touch!

I recently made from the wonderful mudblood428

Thats brilliant Kimmy! I love mudblood's artwork, they're great, and I know you have made a few brilliant icons from her work

These are some of the first EVER icons I made. I actually made the one of Bella specifically for my LJ account.





Art by the very talented Makani.



Edited to fix link.

Thanks Kimmy. I really love your stuff. Thanks for your appreciation.
PS. the subtle font is Makani again!

Ooooh, wonderful icons!!!!

And I agree, Makani does rock!

i found someone's avatar to be this picture and i wanted the full pic, could anyone please point me in the right direction?

This is from a commissioned work by FanArtist reallycorking which you can find on her LiveJournal here. As it is a commissioned work, you should ask permission of the owner of the work, cited in the journal, before using it.

Oh such a sweet picture!!!! (sigh)

This peice is one of my FAVORITE pieces! It is done by the wonderful reallycorking which can be found here at her livejournal. It is a commission piece so if you are planning to use it for anything you must first get permission. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this depiction of Harry and Ginny's first kiss!

Okay.
Sorta Spoiler
~~
This is Makani aka Fanart Goddess at work. She's made Xeno and he looks so loopy and funny...right on the money..
I tried to make two icons from them.






How do you guys like them?

thanks for all the help everyone!!!! i really, really appreciate it! i won't be using the picture as an avatar as it already is someone else's avatar... ummmm what exactly does commisioned art mean? does it mean i can't have it on my computer to look at?

I think its okay to have it on your pc. As long as it you dont use it for commercial purposes as such like ... avatars and all.

Gold-Seven

i tend to like the art from gold-seven,hillary-cw and reallycorking
so anything i post in the future will most likely be from one of them... i like that they have individual styles and that it isn't anything like anime.

expect more when the spoiler ban is over

I love fan art avatars. I made a few. My current avatar for instance. The link to the full picture is in my signature. And it was done by stephine mccrae. I don't know if she's in the leaky galleries or not.





Those two images were done by marta (I know she's in the leaky galleries but I don't know her username) of artdungeon.net.

this one's by Caladan_dd

And I don't know whose art these two are:

Okay, so these are my first avatars ever! (Feel free to use any of them, just be sure to cite the artist and me in your signature!) I absolutely love mudblood428's work, so I made a few with her art:







And here's another two (this time I used makani's art):





What do you think?

Hillary-CW.deviantart.com



umbles.deviantart.com



ereya.deviantart.com



all the snapey ones were requested when i get time im going to make some more from other DH scenes

Those are great, theonlysong! I especially like the Molly icon.

I just made one, for now. It's using makani's art of a very funny scene from DH.

I'm so glad to see all of these Fan Art Avatars!!!! Great job everyone!

I adore mudblood428's work--and her vision of the first Harry/Ginny kiss has always been one of my personal favourites! It makes a terrific avatar as well. Great job Aquamarine!


theonlysong--I am so thrilled you found this! Awesome picture--fabulous avatar!

I love it!!!!!!!

I'm going to take it, and use it later!!! (of course, only if you allow it....)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is so I dont have to break the rules for double posting...

I made 2 simple avatars out of Mudblood's artwork from the H/G kiss

I LOVE the H/G avatars you made danae ! Where did you get the art? (For some reason I can't find in the galleries ... ? )

Thanks for the compliment Hagiographer13! It means a lot seeing as those were my first ever avatars!

This is from some new art you can find at mudblood428's art site: http://www.mudblood428.com/

Just lovely!

Thanks for the link! That new H/G picture blows me away ...

Here's two new ones I made:





I'm not sure I love the font I used... any suggestions? Artwork thanks to mary-dreams!

EDIT: Sorry, I messed up the links

these are awsome, I love the artwork





Edited to fix quote coding.

Here are two I made very quickly yesterday from art by reallycorking (Hermione and Ron) and mudblood (Ginny and Harry):





I couldn't decide which looked better, so here we have both!

EDIT:

Another couple from art by reallycorking and hito:




(as you can see, I'm really bad at decision making and so have to post several versions of the same avatar because I have no idea which one I like the most!)

There is nothing wrong with that! I often make a ton of different versions of avatars.

I'm glad to see so many great avatars made from ReallyCorking, and Mudblood428's art! It is truly fabulous stuff.

Some epiloque/fanart - like avatars from our favorite couple (fan-art by the amazing Hillary-CW)

I have a straggler Fan Art icon!

done by the wonderful Marta pre-DH.

I just love her stuff!

thank you, of course you can use it!

MonieLou showed me some great art by gold-seven and I used it to make about eight avatars. Here are a few:

The rest are at my photobucket (guest password is: aenicons). I had tons of fun making them.

i just started making avatars and i'm hooked haha. i've only made a few so far tho.

this is my only specific DH one & i use it as my avvie too:


(fan art by bitterlimeparakeet.deviantart.com)

this scene converted me into a snape lover
i'm making more in the future

Ooooh, that is good! Keep it up!

WOW! I love it!

I agree, great scene, great avatar!

Hey, can i use one of these? They are aboslutely AMAZING...

Woah! I love the Snape's Patronus One! Awesome! Good Job!

alseverus: You can get the code using Photobucket and upload it into your avatar in your Control Panel.

Heres a new avatar, artwork credited to PiaSharn!



This would of course be before the Hogwarts battle, before the two parents were killed.
