» frequently asked questions
SilverHawk?
That's my pen name. And no, I will not give you my real name so don't ask. Yes, I'm a real person.
I'm not a vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac or Brad Pitt. And yes, I have been asked these questions.
where are your LJ icons and can I use them?
All my LJ icons have my name on them and are for my use as with LJ icons
I created for others. I do not want anyone to use them but since people cannot read and prefer to walk around
with LJ icons with other people's usernames on them, I've been forced to remove them from this site. In the meantime,
I've created WickedSilver, a place to throw up
my LJ bases for you to use to further create your own LJ icons. And no, I won't make you an LJ icon unless I feel like it. I'm
not an LJ icon making machine. Please go to appropriate LJ icon communities for that sort of thing.
can I use your graphics for layouts/hosting on archives?
I don't want you to use my graphics for layouts because I find that completely annoying. If I do find that you are
doing so, I will ask you to remove it if written permission was not granted. If you are going to host my graphics on a
site, please ask first for me to decide. Most of the time I will say yes.
can you make me a layout for my site/LJ?
No. I only create layouts for people who are on my friends of list and we are constantly interacting. I will
also offer to create a layout for someone if I find you interesting. Otherwise, no. I found people who I don't know to be
unappreciative and I seriously have a busy life to cater to these people. I'm not a layout making machine. For places
like that, please go to appropriate sites and LJ communities. And no, I will not give my LJ style codes. You can, however,
read how I did something with one my hopefully useful tutorials over at Etched Silver.
can I archive your writing?
Please ask first so I know where it goes. Most of the time I will say yes.
where can I find your past layouts
I don't bother to archive the screen caps so this is it.
- version 1 : stone angel : image of a statue of a stone angel. It was crappy. It was my first.
- version 2 : fallen angels : varying images of Hong Kong singer/actress Faye Wong and the film Fallen Angels by
Wong Kar Wai. I guess this should have been my Wong Kar Wai layout since it also had images from Chungking Express
- version 3 : setsuna : images from my favorite manga, Angel Sanctuary. Used frames.
- version 4 : soaring angel : switched back to nonframes. I grew lazy and followed the trend and used Tony Stone (now Getty Images)
- version 5 : ayumi hamasaki : from her single Endless Sorrow
- version 6 : trapped angels : images from Aikawa Nanase, Gackt and Hyde
- version 7 : bono : images from U2Photos
- version 8 : jude law : images from When He Smiles
- version 9 : forever blue jude law : images from Cinelive France
However, my livejournal ones can be found here: version 1,
version 2,
version 3,
version 4,
version 5,
version 6,
version 7,
version 8,
version 9,
version 10.
what do you use to design this?
I designed this site and all my sites with basic notepad and my Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz baby. All graphics are designed using Adobe
Photoshop 7. The entire site is uploaded using WS_FTP and is hosted by Site 5.
Photos are usually my own scans or taken with my Sony digital camera. If not, I will leave a credit where I found my images
located in the credits section of each site along with anything else I used.
where do you host your site?
I'm using Site5.com. Is it great? Well, it works for me.
will you host me?
No. I'm not hosting on either of my domains at the present time. I may offer hosting on Beautifulone.net if I
feel it's a site that is important enough for Louis fans. Otherwise, don't ask.
which sites that archived my work?
