Try DevintART, http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=Honor+Harrington as a source for art, or cut from cover illustrtions. I think this art by Zenzmurfy would make a good treecat avatar:

The Honorverse Wiki is another good place to look http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFiles. Here's Honor harrington from there:

Image

Or cut and make your own like Mange and mine:

Image Image Image

Or even a ship icon: Image

See http://pokermind.deviantart.com/gallery/40299232 you can copy and re-letter for your own icon if any of these trip your clock.

;) Poker

PS: Oh heck try one of these:

Hi all

Mucking around making some Honorverse icons from Zenzmurfy's Fan art http://zenzmurfy.deviantart.com/gallery/28006646.

From http://zenzmurfy.deviantart.com/art/Periscope-337148791?q=gallery%3Azenzmurfy%2F28006646&qo=3 this icon Image.

From http://zenzmurfy.deviantart.com/art/Fisher-Man-336180110?q=gallery%3Azenzmurfy%2F28006646&qo=4 this icon Image.

From http://zenzmurfy.deviantart.com/art/treecat-concept-pic-8-343314180?q=gallery%3Azenzmurfy%2F20387150&qo=3 this icon Image.

From http://zenzmurfy.deviantart.com/art/Stinker-Disc-336808445?q=gallery%3Azenzmurfy%2F28006646&qo=2 this icon, Image

Guimontag is another artist who has done good Honorverse fan art http://guimontag.deviantart.com/# Here's his Steadholder Harrington as an icon Image.

From a Safehold cover we get this icon

Hi all,

How to make an avatar from art:

When I saw this line art on DeviantART that would make a good icon for for my friend spacekiwi:

Image

http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Colorme-Mecha-Kiwi-67256738

Cute hugh? Now for Image the icon.

OK how to go from the art to the icon. Most sites use 50x50 pixel icon so that's your size.

How much to reduce art simple (((50 pixels) / (size of original art in pixels)) x 100) = percent reduction. Note do any cropping before reducing.

To letter leave a ten pixel space per line, single dot pixels are seven pixels high and average four pixels wide.

I use MS paint.

Latest icon, Manticore Wormhole: Image from this art:

Image

http://sven1310.deviantart.com/art/Honor-Harrington-Wormhole-364856749?q=gallery%3Asven1310%2F42579016&qo=5

By my German friend Sven1310 his page on DA is worth visit:
