Sophia Myles - 12 icons, 1 header, 1 wallpaper
I just found out a little while ago that today is Sophia Myles birthday. I was going to wait till I had more icons and graphics to post, but since today is her birthday and all, I thought I'd go ahead and post these now. I made these yesterday, coincidentally.

Wallpaper and header made from this scan...Scan - Sophia Myles found at [info]hires_hotties

Blending Tutorial - using "add layer mask" and "feather"
Blending Images

This tutorial is for [info]alexandral and anyone else who wants to learn how to blend images. We are going to be making a wallpaper for your desktop. Beginners are welcome.



I'm wordy so be warned. But I think, if you're a beginner, the wordiness is helpful. But, I'll let you be the judge of that. :)

I use Photoshop CS2. You will learn how to use the "add layer mask" tool, the "Polygonal Lasso Tool" and how to "feather". I'm not sure if other graphic editing programs have the same tools, but they might have something similar. So even if you don't have Photoshop you might still be able to learn something from this tutorial or at the very least get some inspiration. I hope. :)

Beginners should be able to follow this tutorial. But, please don't look on this tutorial as a step by step tutorial. You will not be able to create the exact same wallpaper I have created. I'm going to show you where to find the tools I've used and how to use them, the rest is up to you. You can use the images I've used or use your own.

Most of the examples are linked and the graphics are reduced in size.

Blending Your Pictures )

If you have any questions or something is not clear please feel free to ask in a comment.

If this tutorial was helpful please let me know in a comment. I really like to get feed back on these things.

I hope I have helped some people to learn some new techniques and I also hope I've inspired you.

The wallpaper is up for grabs if you like it. You can find different sizes here. Please please comment and credit if you take it home with you.

I am going to do another blending tutorial using black and white photos on a black background. Kind of like my black and white Mick St. John wallpaper. Basically we'll be use the same blending techniques we've used here with a few differences, but since it's a black background it's a little easier.

Thanks for stopping by. [info]endlessdeep

Gerard Butler icons, banner and a wallpaper
Remember I mentioned I made some Gerard Butler icons for an icontest? The icontest is over, so I can post these now! There is also a Timeline banner.

And I made a Gerard Butler wallpaper, which I agonized over for hours! And I still see things I want to change. So silly. Please comment if you like the wallpaper and take it home with you. His eyes are stunning aren't they? *sigh*

I entered 12 of these icons in Challenge 64 at [info]gerrychallenge. The competition was tough, let me tell you. I managed to tie for second place with one of my icons. It's the first one in the teasers.

+ 20 Gerard Butler movie icons
1 - 8 Andre Marek from Timeline
9 - 17 The Stranger from Dear Frankie

I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't been intentionally ignoring your comments. I realized the other day that I had an old e-mail address for this journal and so I wasn't getting e-mail notifications for comments. *pfft* I've fixed that now.

Anyway, I really do appreciate each and every comment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

Hi everyone! I have oodles of stuff to share. :)

+ 6 Gerard Butler icons
+ 26 Moonlight icons - episodes 11 and 12 - possible SPOILERS in the icons
+ 3 Gerard butler graphics - user info banner, header, picture
+ 7 Moonlight graphics - Friends Only banners, user info banners, pictures and Wallpaper

I was going to say a bunch of stuff only now I can't remember what it was. Um.

Oh yeah, the words on the Moonlight wallpaper are U2 lyrics. Well except for that one line that Beth says.

And the graphics with white backgrounds will look good on your User Info page or ir you have a white background in your journal, they'll work there as well.

I'll be making more icons from eps 11 and 12 of Moonlight, eventually.

Comments are very much appreciated - Thanks

Moonlight FO banners, headers and graphics, 1 Stock Photo header and 2 wallpapers
Ok, I have a bunch of Moonlight FO banners and graphics here. And one stock photography graphic.

+ Josef and Sarah...4 different versions of the same pic.
+ Mick and Beth...Several different versions of two very similar pics.
+ 1 stock Photography header
+ 1 Stock Photography wallpaper...2 sizes...let me know if you need a different size.

Also I just posted a bunch of Moonlight icons HERE...Sleeping Beauty.

I've displayed one version of each graphic and links to the rest so it will load faster. So you can just click on the links to see the others. Mostly it's the background or text that is different.

Lot's of the Mick and Beth one because I just think the way they are looking at each other is gorgeous. :)

These are all from "Sleeping Beauty".

All under the cut.

4 banners...Josef and Sarah )

3 FO banners and 4 Header type graphics...Mick and Beth )

Winter Trees and Fall Leaves banner and wallpapers )

Well, I hope that wasn't too confusing. If you have any questions please ask. I will be happy to help you. :)

+ Please comment, let me know what you like and what your'e taking. I am curious.

If you've ask for an icon or something to be customized in the past and I didn't do it. It's not because I don't like you or just didn't want to do it. lol. It's because I more than likely forgot. So just remind me. But please let me know in which entry the icon or graphic is in that you wanted altered.

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Moonlight...icons, FO banners, headers and wallpapers
If you like Moonlight then you'll like this entry. I have bunches of icons with matching headers and friends only banners and some wallpapers. Mostly Mick and Beth and one FO that is Mick and Leni. Plus I have a few random Moonlight icons and one Alex icon.

I have an idea for a Coraline wallpaper even thought she is not my fav. But it will be true to her nature, so we'll see how many people like that. And I also plan on doing a Josef wallpaper next time.

Oh yeah, I never know what to put on these things as far as text so if you want something different like your lj name or a poem or something just to make it more personal, let me and I'll fix it up for you.

Also feel free to shrink wallpapers or crop them to fit whatever you need them for. But if they look weird or you need me to shrink them or crop them for you I'll be happy to do that.

Icons...Moonlight, James Marsters, 2 wallpapers, 3 banners
+ 37 Moonlight icons all from the episode "Fever"
+ 9 James Marsters icons
+ 2 James Marsters Wallpapers in various sizes
+ 3 Stock Photography Headers

Weird, I don't have any stock photography icons this time around. I went crazy making Mooonlight icons though.

I spent quite a bit of time on the James Marsters wallpaper. It's actually the first wallpaper I've ever made. And I made a much simpler James wallpaper with some pretty colors. The first wallpaper was made for my monitor which is a widescreen. The second wallpaper is your regular size and if you need it smaller just let me know what size.

I also made some stock photography banners. If you want text added or changed let me know.

Also I've updated my Spike icons for [info]btvsicons100. I've added 20 more icons to my icon table. Themes added: ache, blue, fight, find me, heaven, hero, no text, not now, oops, panic, run, sad, sleep, stake, sweet. Artist's Choice: New 15 - 19.

Let me tell you, those themes are difficult. So, I um, come up with some pretty strange ideas for some of them. I'm trying to get them done first because gah!

Click to see the Spike icons

Also I have 3 icons and 2 headers of Juliet Landau posted in a separate entry. I forgot about them. Oops.

Superman Returns Wallpaper 800x500
I'm not sure what to call this. It's really not big enough to be wallpaper. I mean it is but it won't cover your whole screen, I don't think. I felt that my last effort with this screencap was kind of blah. I didn't do much to it, just slapped on a couple of gradients, etc. And I wanted to do more. And below is the result.

Please feel free to grab this and do whatever you want with it. I don't mind if people alter it themselves. Add a gradient, reduce the size, crop it, put text on it...whatever you want to do. I tried some different gradients on it with various blending modes and it looked really cool. So go for it.

Large Brushes
These brushes are suitable for headers, banners, wallpapers, etc. The "Pastel Brushes" have a few icon sized brushes in the mix, but I put the set here because they are mostly large brushes.

As usual, please comment because I love that. Please credit me in your user info or resources post.

Thanks for stopping by. :)
