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

[Fainne]

My text looks okay on the screen, but is pixelated when I print. Any ideas?

which format do you use? have you tried .png?

[hbt123]

Did some photoshoppin' this morning instead of work...


I was watching Dr. Who last night... *sigh* I love David Tennant. :3

Thanks!

*snicker* Mines going to change to gray in oh maybe 25-30 years from now (I'm 17 ) Yup gotta love bein' a young'un!

Hehe, I'm also a wee one. But I think all my hair will fall out before I have to worry about it going grey. This hairdye addiction is bad. -_-

Oh well, Gimp just crashed on me, so I'll have to try again when my brain is working better.

*hopes no one notices long (again) absence*

Welcome back!

VLC player or KMPlayer

The latter one makes amazing screencaps, but when capping dvd's it is a pain cause it sometimes doesn't work when your dvd is protected but it is amazing for anything that you have on your computer.
Of course you can also put the dvd on your computer with DVD shrink


VLCplayer has issues when capping, that it sometimes has horrible screencaps, with lines in it and everything

Oooh. Thanks! I've been wondering how to do this myself. Fainne I'm so glad you asked.

*sigh* I've been gimping furiously all day, but I can't show most of the stuff I've made

I did make a banner for The First Commandment for the rewatch though:

I love the coloring and the blending on this. Well done!

I LOVE Legend of the Seeker!!! And I LOVE Richard and Kahlan. And I'm really sad that there are only 4 episodes left in the season...

Legend of the Seeker! My friend got me hooked on this series. I just love Kahlan (and would love to have Zedd's powers). Have you read the books? I haven't and wonder if I should try them. Where did you find the screen caps?

Nice work! We won't tell your boss if you don't.
DT is growing on me. I first saw him in PBS' Casanova series. I liked him better in that than in Doctor Who. Go figure.

Welcome back!

Thanks!!

Legend of the Seeker! My friend got me hooked on this series. I just love Kahlan (and would love to have Zedd's powers). Have you read the books? I haven't and wonder if I should try them. Where did you find the screen caps?

I LOVE this show!!! My friend and her parents have read all the books. She told me about the show because she wanted me to record the series premiere for her. I did and I was board so I watched it as well. I fell in love with is. After that she never did watch it. Her parents told her all the things that were different from the books so she doesn't think she'll like it. But I still do.

I actually bought the first three books. I didn't read all of them, but I skimmed parts of them. I've actually skimmed parts of all the books. Honestly, I'd say don't read them yet. Wait until the series is over before you read them. That's what I'm doing. SO many things are different. And the show kind of...Softens many of the things that happen in the books. Like Richard and Denna. And in the books Zedd is the last wizard and Kahlan is the last confessor. And her sister really is dead. Michael never went and helped Richard. So yeah, I'd say read them after the show ends for good.

Umm...I got them from two different sites...Neither one has much. http://www.legendoftheseeker.com/index.html and http://seeker.warriorprincess.com/ The second one has more high resolution caps. But neither one has full caps. I'm still looking for a site that does... And the first site actually will tell you the names of the final four episodes of this season, when they're supposed to air, and you can watch all of the previous episodes. Every weekend I have a mini Seeker marathon, lol!!

EDIT: I just checked, and The Seekers Omnibus (the second site) does have all/most of the caps. But I don't think all of them are high res...

I love him cause he's one who has created the ship... but not like this

Edit: forgot to say here

Happy Birthday Aveo!!!

Sekrit Challenge
Week 33
from Lili

Choose either the Jack or Sam cap below to make (at least) 2 different pieces of artwork from the following categories:

Fluff, Thunk, Angst, Gutter, Humour.

Each piece must be from a different category, and you must use the same pic in both! You can add other pics if you wish.

Size: Any
Text: Any
Pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/Oma-1/th_PDVD_047-1.jpg or http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/Oma-1/th_vlcsnap-211727.png (if you've got a bigger/better quality version of this Sam pic, go ahead and use it....and post it for me too please!)

This one is going to require a little brain power.....sorry....

And I hope I haven't confused anyone Lili's original idea was to take one pic and make 3 pieces from it - one fluff, one gutter, one angst. I added the other categories to give us more options, and reduced the number to 2.....cos well, making 3 kinda scared me and my limited brain power Hope you don't mind Lili

Oh, and just to make it harder, it's Sekrit Challenge Week! So PMs to Jumble please!!!!!

Hmm, good challenge. Think I've figured it out now ! Looking forward to this one!

Just made this.
