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

[Bekki]

ah, beautifulwallie, Oma

I like the fishing one too...nice and subtle but still an extra layer of ship

YUM!

[kali1]

This is a great thread!!! I use GIMP and I would love to be able to make an icon like RepliCartertje's. How do you do it??

Hey kids, I had a request for an Osiris sig and this came out of it. What do you think?

Amazing!

I made a PTB confirmation please banner for posting in the family thread...

(feel free to snurch and post there regularly along with Jumble's and APA's )

I love it!

I made a new wallpaper this morning I'm not sure which background I prefer though - with or without the fishing????

Course, if I'd thought of the fishing pic in the background earlier, I wouldn't have needed to spend so long making the background

I love it! Its fantastic! I love Osiris, the actress who plays her *mind gone completely blank* is brilliant. She's just ooozes evil. I would love to have seen the sparks fly with Osiris and Ba'al in the same scene

New art by Oma! *happy dance*

I like them both. The second one does add a layer of meaning, though...as in, they can be so happy they don't have words, instead of just so miserable and angst-filled...

LOL

I'd used the quote before as a sig, but I wanted to re-work it.
The first one came out a lot angstier than I had pictured it originally. But you know how much I loved angst Adding the fishing pic was a complete afterthought a few hours later.

Welcome the the thread Kali

Oh Eve!! I think you've just been tagged for a tutorial

Hiya guys! I've caught the artwork bug! I've spent all today collecting screen caps of Firefly, Stargate and Fight Club (cos I love it).

I'm planning 2 sigs atm, one of which is S/J and is going to be overloaded with angst. The caption is going to be "I am Jack's broken heart", a line from Fight Club that I thought fitted really well. If you guys have any angsty pics you think would go with that caption, please post them Thanks!

*hugs*

Awesome artwork btw everyone!

You certainly have got your mojo back, and I think you've pinched a bit of mine, because I've just been planning out one very similar, but with a starry nightime sky! Internetelepathy strikes again And I see you've sussed out how to use the Supernova

It is a bit too big, the width is ok but it is a bit too high. Maximum height for on here is 200 pixels, so maybe you could just resize it a little bit?

*wanders off to think of something else instead*

I like Supernova. I tried other effects but they were not right. I missed SG!!! Of to watch!

After I discovered Supernova I went through a stage where I put it on practically everything I did (obsessive behaviour anyone?) After I grew out of that phase I went into 'making everything funny' mode, and now I'm in 'make everything Hippie' mode. I'm trying to get out of that one by 'making everything starry'

[LiliJ]

That's really nice, Kitty! I would green you but I'm out, so virtual GREEN!

Oh BK that is so nice! I'm in a grunge brush phase myself.

So is it wrong to say that I dreamed about a card last night? Off to gimp it (hopefully!)

[Blacky Kitten]

I'm glad you all loke it

How i can do it more smaller without loosing of clearness of pic?

*stares at the pretty wps*

I see you like blue...

[Blacky Kitten]

Oh, and congrats on 100 Mada!!!

Aww Thanks!

I see you like blue...

If you rescale it, to 200, it should be ok. It's not that you are losing that many pixels. (You know, break the chain so that the top number doesn't change.)


What about this card? I think the wording needs changed... but I can't think this morning. (GAH!)
