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

[starlover]

Ooooh I liked all the icons I saw from the different artists!

Jas love the sigs and thanks for the tuts and textures*snurches*

LJ I loved that wp! It was really good and I liked the version with the soft "blurry" lines the most also thanks for the textures!

Sorry if I forgot something but I was too lazy to quote!

[Regularamanda]

Okay, I've just uploaded 245 folders of icon textures. Most of them are different from the one's in Jas's first and second batch.

Previews:



245 icon textures

Some are older and some are newer.

[Valerie_Jackson]

New sig!!



Not really sure about how it turned out though... but I like it!

[jasminaGo]

Nice work Val!

Textures..... more textures... textures

*walks out like a zombie*

[Padme18]

Wow, Kitten, congrats! I remember *my* first time teaching kids. I was totally unable to remain serious.

Here goes... my kinda challenge entry. It contradicts the rules at full length so I'm posting the link to my SG album:

Click on the first picture to enlarge it.
It's Sam/Janet, so look away if you have problems in this department

Bree, I suggest you sit down first - http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...ileys/hehe.gif

I won't be sending it to Oma so it's your only chance to see it.

ETA: All heads and bodies belong to the corresponding characters/actors.

*faints* Es! You are my new favoritest person ever (I think you're replacing LJ or is it Jas?? I've lost track ) *faints again*

Here's another version of the wp...

It's better...

Love the Bones artwork LJ!
Why can't new Bones eps be on 52 weeks a year? Is that too much to ask?

I don't think we really stipulated any rules with this challenge, but as far as I'm aware the point of a "manip" wood be to make it look natural, i.e. no brushes or textures. But like I said there really are no rules to stick to as such.

That doesn't really help does it .

Loving the Bones artwork LJ, it's looking really good. Can't wait to see some more

Uh...yep..clears it up perfectly.

New sig!!

Not really sure about how it turned out though... but I like it!

It looks great Valerie! Lovely.

Here's the stuff I couldn't quote:
Kitten I love your tiger icons and the fact that you managed to make Shannen Doherty fluffy.
Eve great job withe the SG1 20in20. Love the artists choice. Great idea.

Samantha.Majka: Beautiful icons!! 3,4, and 7 are my faves.
Jas Gorgeous work and thanks for the tuts and the textures.
Yeah, I wanna be Jas when I grow up too.
Amanda love your 20in20 too . Female is my favorite but then you probably would have guessed that right?
And thank you for the textures.
LJ: Thanks for the texture links. Awesome *Happy dances with Sarai*
I am in texture heaven tonight and after the weekend I've had I deserve a little heaven. *pouts*
Jann: love your 20in20 too . Female is my favorite but then you probably would have guessed that right? (that seems oddly familiar )

*falls into thread*

Hey guys! I'm exhausted... been downtown enjoying the olympics mayham!

@regularamanda: Omg... that's wonderful, I think I'm going to download those lovely textures! I really want to start making icons again... I had a brief run-in with them, but they never really turn out well... *grumbles*

[Torzy86]

So many textures
Thanks Jas and Amanda

[Estrela]

Hi friends! Long time no...er, post?

Needless to say, there's waaaaay too much to quote on. But OMG I'm just loving all of the artwork and this week's challenge entries.

Oma, I hope nothing's wrong, but your delay means I can post my challenge stuff too.

's first impression doesn't go well


and

always the happier version


*ducks back out to go catch up with RL stuff after I download all the new resources with big thanks too*

[Luvnjoe]

I need a pic of Hammond standing, as much of him showing as possible, preferably facing stage right. Thanks!

[wine_buyer]

Great manips Estrela

Sounds like you have a project in mind LJ.
Congratulations on 10,000 posts!

[Luvnjoe]

Yay, happy 10001 posts to me!

*runz in* did someone say...Textures?? *arches eyebrow*

Here's on I found today. I thought of several of you upon seeing the pretty colors.

Some of my faves (even some I haven't used for quite a while...)

Parchment paper. You never know when you'll need it!

If light and shadow is what you're after, you need to check out Smoko-stock on deviantart.com. I love I tell the stories. It's gorgeous!

Black and white ink textures by emothic stock

I love these, by Sirius-sdz.

This blue one by Sirius is awesome. I've used it as an overlay and a background. I've even made it b/w and used it purely for the texture. Very versitile; the sign of a good texture.

Need more?

Thanks for all the links!

[Luvnjoe]

Thanks for all the links!

You're welcome!

[Krissie678]

I made SG-1 icons!! Hadn't made any in awhile and now I'm spitting them out. See the pretty here.
