HAPPY 4th OF JULY to my fellow American friends in here!


And great entries everyone! Love them all!


Y'welcome.




Sorry. Been working on it/them for the last few days...not entirely happy with them but as tomorrow is the deadline I'll post them ASAP. Besides, it's much to hot to be Gimping. Way too damn hot in CT these days. I've been reading fanfic all day since I got home from work.


Thanks for the heads up lg, now I know who to PM my entries too.

trade ya! it's been raining here... all our fireworks shows got cancelled due to rain.... and it's not that hot we barely scraped 80 both yesterday and today and it doesn't look like it's gonna heat up any time soon... it's july and cold and i don't like it

Okay, I'll trade! It was in the 90s yesterday and today. And it will be tomorrow too. Our fireworks got postponed due to flooding. The river front where they have the fireworks every year is flooded due to all the rain we've had up until a few days ago.


Alright, my Superman sigs, though I do think they're less than super...

Tut Week 23

This week is a Tutorial Week. For the first week every month, we don’t issue a challenge, but instead want to encourage thread participants to share their expertise and try something new, using tutorials.

This is how it works:

1. Share a tutorial: *Write a tutorial for a piece of art you have made recently, or post a piece of art you have made with the link to the tutorial you followed when you made it.

2. Follow a tutorial:* Use one (or more) of the tutorials that other thread members have shared during the week to make a piece of art of your own.

The idea is that we should both teach something and learn something throughout the week It’s not obligatory to do both, if you’re limited for time, but we’d like to encourage you to please both share and follow at least one tutorial if at all possible.

At the end of the week we will post all the tutorials along with any art made following each tutorial, so that we can see all the different interpretations all together.

Please PM your entries (both the link to the original tutorial and any art you make following a tutorial this week) to Jumble

And I'm quite frustrated with this, but it is what it is...

Here is how I made my Alex Kingston signature in Photoshop CS5.

Spoiler:

1) Open a new document, I chose 500×180. Fill with #2a2132.

2) Open and paste this gears stock into the document. Set this to Soft Light, 100%.

3) Open and paste this set of flowers into the document. Line up the white line to as close to the center as possible. Set to Overlay, 100%.

4) Open and paste the path stock into the document. Desaturate and resize to where only the path is visible. Move this layer to one side of the line from the previous step. Duplicate this layer and move this one to the other side of the line. Set both to Overlay, 100%.

5) Open and paste this stock of lanterns into the document. Set to Overlay, 100%. Erase what you don’t like.

6) Open and paste these lights into the document. Set to Lighten, 100%. Move to just to the left of where you are thinking of putting your character/actor.

7) Open and paste these lines into the document. Set to Lighten, 100%. Scale way down and rotate so that the lines are coming from the top. Move to just above the lights from previous step.

8) Open your character/actor and paste into the document. I used one of these 4 pictures of Alex Kingston. Resize if need be. Cut out the character/actor completely from the background. Place where you wish them to go.

9) Take this texture from KrypteriaHG and paste into the document. Set to Lighten, 100%. Erase whatever you don’t like.

10) Take another texture from KrypteriaHG and paste into the document. Set to Lighten, 100%. Move to where the clock is in the bottome left corner. Erase all but the clock and a little above it. Duplicate this layer and move to the right until the stars are on the right side of the character/actor. Erase what you don’t like.

11) Take this last texture from KrypteriaHG and paste into the document. Set to Lighten, 50%. Move to where your character is in the center of the triangle.

12) Open this PSD by BriniGirl and move the folder into your document. Leave as is.

13) I didn’t like how bright the blue was so I created a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and set it to Soft Light, 100%.
-Colorize checked.
–Hue: 70
—Satuarion: 59
—-Lightness: -6

14) Text. Alex Kingston: Justus, 30pt. Color: #21494f
-Drop Shadow: Default except Spread: 20.
–Outer Glow: #ede2e7. Opacity: 30%. Rest Default.
—Bevel and Emboss/Contour: Style: Pillow Emboss. Rest Default.
—-Color Overlay: #7c9b9f. Opacity: 50%.

15) Create a stamp and use Topaz Clean, Crispstyle. Everything on Default. Set at Normal, 60%.

16) Create another stamp and use Paint Daubs. 1, 1. Set to Normal, 70%.

17) Watermark your work, if you do.

18) Create one last stamp and open Blending Options. Stroke: Leave at default but for the color, choose the darkest color in your work and let that color be your border.

And you are finished!

If you wish to follow this same tutorial but with images, you can follow it at my blog, here.

Enjoy!

FYI: Gorgeous entries!
