He has been more visible in British TV Richard Armitage. He's in the Hobbit as Thorin Oakenshield ( with longer hair and a straight nose )b. My current adorable Icon was made by the goddess of Icons, aka Ikorni.

Oh that's why lol I'm sooo used to the long hair Oh and my current banner is an example... 1/2 of the sig uses Amanda and RDA's background. Wouldn't look the same without it I got lucky and it just fit in well with everything.

Thanks RIG I feel the same way about your current Jensen sig, it's still stunning whenever I look at it Then again Jensen tends to do that no matter what he looks like hehe

You're welcome. And thank you. Also, yes, Jensen does.

Glad to hear it. it's so disappointing because I loved some quality/ qualities in the original and I'm unable to reproduce it in any way. But base pics are essential

Guy of Gisborne! I prefer him clean-shaven though! I used to care that I wrecked tuts as well, but now, the moment I sit down to do one, I've become more aware of the fact that many variables are different (except for the texture): the bast picture and the background, the quality of the picture, the angle of the model's pose etc...and those always affect the final outcome. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess I just learn how to shrug and trash the ones that don't.

Thank you for the welcomes!. I was wondering if you guys have any tips on programs to use for image editing? I have Serif Photo editor and although it's easy to use there are some issues with it.

-To get images to be lighter it tends to over expose them and causes blotches in skin tones.
-Resizing leaves them blurry and the adding a sharpening tool makes it pixilated.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I'd love to help there, but I'm, unfortunately, not acquainted at all with Serif Photo editor. Do you have a manipulation program, like Photoshop (PS2 is still being given out for free if I'm not wrong) or Gimp? I can't speak for Gimp, but in Photoshop, you have options like duplicating the layers and setting them to screen or soft light. As for resizing, there's an option for bi-cubic sharpening or smoothening which might help the pixilation problem.

I think I need to get away from icons for a bit! In a bid to do something different, I ended up with this...

[Nolamom]

Photoshop hasn't been given out for free for quite a few months now. However, GIMP is free. Get it at gimp.org so that there aren't all those advertising add-ons
