The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread

[leiasky]

*sticks out tongue* I'm doing an S/J wp as we speak, so there

Two in a row?

*faints*

And Jasmina, I love the newest icons! Especially the last two.

[Jumble]

Oma That's a unique skill that only we Shippers have, seeing the silver lining in every cloud

[LiliJ]

And few more icons from me.

Wow, they're gorgeous!

Made this quickly before bed yesterday, just so I could play around with some textures

[josiane]

*deep breath*
Biiiiig MQ coming up...

Thank you all for the heartfelt hugs and the heads up. Artworks are gone but as Seahen said to me: maybe an excuse to make more

So here's my really really amature first attempt at Gimp. And I listened to Oma about the edges and read through the very first tuts. (((jumble)))

This one is for you guys, the Sam/Jack Family:

Excellent job Lara, really well done seeing as you're only just starting out. You've done really well with the blending there So sorry you have lost all your earlier work though

Hee hee, there's a mean idea!

I had to double check that it was your post when I saw the Martin-less SJ sig. Lovely work though!

Also... random new sig! I found a sparks texture thingy, and wanted to put it to use...

Ooh sparkles, pretty

Nice sig! Love the font. And I'm getting seriously jealous of all the icon making around here. By the way, the last one is definitely my favorite. Besides being a great Jack pic, you've managed to make it so nice and bright and clear.

Woah, fab sig and icons Josi The Hail Dorothy icon works brilliantly What font is that?

Ok, I just LOVE this one. Can it be snurched?

Answering these all together The font is one of the Mary Jane ones Fainne posted a couple of days ago. It's the Tankard one, and I just love it

And of course the icon(s) may be snurched

Though I temporarily suffered from the Woohood strain (caught from Jumble) it now seems that I have a full blown case of the debilitating Wallpaper strain of the disease we all suffer from: Fanartitis. I really wish I could catch the icon strain Josiane is suffering from

I was tired of all this romance business and decided to go back to my first love - His Royal Hotness

Gorgeous, both this and the challenge one you did. And thanks for posting the textures too!

And LOL, icon strain is right I've hurt my hand slightly recently (I blame it on lugging heavy books around at work, but who knows), and it was actually aching quite badly when I finished last night But I still. couldn't. stop.

For this challenge attempt I thought I'd bite the bullet and go for a wp. I swear it took me 4 times longer than if I'd done it as a sig

I agree with everyone else, definitely worth it! Gorgeous job! And I love the sig too

Love the sig version.


And few more icons from me.

<lazy snip>

*sigh* And there I am reminded, that despite my recent bout of iconing and feeling I was finally getting to grips with them, I still have a lot to aspire to...

THUNK!



Those Hubble images rock.

[josiane]

Ohhhhh....
*thunks*

Love it! What font is that?

[Luvnjoe]

Ohhhhh....
*thunks*

Love it! What font is that?

That would be CrEAtoR cAmpoTYPe SmcP. I don't use it very much, but it seems to work well in that sig.

[LiliJ]

Such a gorgeous font! *sighs* Wish I could use it... Hey, wait, it's for Gimp, right? Anyone wanna tell me how to download it...

Btw made this. I love the background - it's about a million textures and layers!

[josiane]

Nice sig Lili

Fonts aren't program-specific, you install them on your machine in your fonts folder (in control panel) and then all your programs (including things like Word) should pick them up So they're dead easy to install, just download and copy the files into your fonts folder.

Great! But where's my fonts folder? Inside My Computer?

[josiane]

Go to your control panel (link in the start menu), and it should be in there. Just copy the files across from the folder you downloaded and they should install.

Yes.

My Computer>C:>WINDOWS>fonts

I put a shortcut on my desktop for easy access.
