The icon itch hit me sometime the other day so I made these all in a frenzy over the course of the day between RP tags.
Enjoy!

As usual, please credit either phantastus or dazlious if you take any of these. Commenting isn't necessary but is appreciated-- I'd love to see where these are being used!

The drawn images here are all either concept art (I can't help it, I just thought those concepts of Heather were cute as hell), illustrations from the Silent Hill 3 novelization, or from White Hunter, a short comic by Masahiro Ito that features Pyramid Head.

Well, I was gonna wait to post these until after I'd finished some more of those requested drabbles, but with my computer on the fritz, I can't work on much writing. These were already uploaded though, so... HERE. ENJOY!

The drawn images in this are from the comics (Mary's cameo in one panel) as well as the novelizations of Silent Hill 1 and 3.

The one special case is this icon right here, which is the result of a spur-of-the-moment photoshop experiment and is a perfect example of why I shouldn't be allowed to produce any type of fanwork for an M-rated horror fandom.

It's a combination of an illustration of Harry and young Cheryl/Heather and a background image from the animated film Balto. Because if there's two things that go together perfectly, it's Silent Hill and classic children's films.

If I had to pick out a favorite from this batch, it'd either be that one (despite the hassle it was to make) or Sad Keanu Kaufmann (tm).

MORE ICONS.
I don't have a problem.
I CAN STOP ANY TIME I WANT.

This batch is mostly from 2, 4, and 5, with a couple other things thrown in.

The drawn images used are either SH4 concept art, illustrations from the SH1 novelization, or (!!!) my art. I don't usually include any of my own Silent Hill fanart in these icon sets, but the itty bitty one of Heather walking in a field turned out nicely enough that I felt like including it.

Title: GRAVITY
Chapter: 1 (Sirens in His Ears)
Author: phantastus
Fandom: Silent Hill
Rating: G-PG
Genre: I don't even know.
Main characters: James Sunderland, Laura
Summary: Well, James did it. He survived Silent Hill and accepted truth and retribution for his sins.
... Now what?
Notes: Chapter 1 of my ongoing, obscenely long SH2 fanfic. Set directly after the Leave Ending, but contains heavy implications of In Water. The fic is mirrored over here along with eight subsequent chapters, but I will be posting the most up-to-date edits here for the time being.
This story was initially written (and is still in progress) for NaNoWriMo 2009.
Disclaimer/Warnings: This fanfic depicts events and situations that may be considered violent or cruel, on par with the canon source material. This chapter deals with potentially-upsetting concepts including but not limited to:

-written descriptions of physical wounds
-traumatic flashbacks
-terminal illness
-references to murder and suicide
-a butt joke

Please read at your own risk.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Although it's seen a few edits since it was written, this first chapter was written a long time ago and as such doesn't necessarily reflect the current writing style of the story. In fact, the author finds it embarrassingly long-winded and ponderous, but has banned herself from going back and fiddling with it anymore in the interest of moving the story forward and writing new material instead. SORRY. I PROMISE IT GETS BETTER.

( Zero gravity... what's it like? )

MADE SOME MORE. Ever have those moments where you have a great thread going, but suddenly you realize that a tag requires you to drop everything and make an ENTIRELY NEW ICON to adequately express within 100x100 pixels what the character is feeling?
Yeah.
That's been happening a lot.
And then I guess I just don't stop when it does.
ANYWAY HERE, HAVE SOME MORE ICONS. Mostly SH3 but with some others thrown in for good measure.

The drawn images are all either from Silent Hill 2 concept art (with colors added by me), or the Japanese cover to Silent Hill 1. Or A cover, anyway. I actually have no idea what it's from, just that it's official.

HERP DERP HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

This one is equal parts assorted characters and miscellaneous scenery porn (MMM MMM JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT).

Pretty pleased with all of them except the one of Alessa which I had to mutilate pretty badly in Photoshop to get rid of Harry's giant ghostly head. BUT ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

The drawn James icons are from either that one Silent Hill comic where he made a one-panel cameo (forget the title), or the UFO ending of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
