The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread
BKitty Hooray for getting your internet back. So can we expect artwork soon too? Puhleeze?
*grins* *nods* Hope so, PS is all installed as of this evening I'm hoping to make some Joe birthday art over the weekend
Speaking of which, *happy dances at the birthday art so far* *huggles GimPS* *huggles Joe* leaves the smooches to LJ
Yes. He plays Superman on Smallville. I've never seen the show and had to go look him up myself. What a lovely surprise when I discovered how easy he was on the eyes. Oh the hardships I had to endure staring at his pictures while I stalled at endeavored to make that sig.
The things we put ourselves through to make arties....
The sig was super simple. I converted pictures I found to black and white, placed them on the sig, then used a solid colored layer over the top set to COLOR. The background was made using radial blurred and motion blurred versions of the merged picture. (as 2 separate layers) I hope that makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll go have a second look at my PSD and explain in more detail when I get home.
No, no, that makes perfect sense Thanks! I was drawing a complete blank when I looked at it, couldn't work it out at all *huggles*
Egle, just post a direct link. Also, I will be posting a link to the challenge entry and/or sending an email w/ the prezzies attached. Just like last year.

Snow I think the ribbon/rosette says "The birthday girl".
And for those that asked, yes, I used the same coloring technique that I used on my Tom Welling sig a few days ago. I love this.
Quickie tutorial: (spoilered for size)
Spoiler:
I added a solid colored layer over the black and white pictures and set the blending mode to Color. Then, and here's where the real fun begins, double click next to the layer's name in the layer palette to bring up the layer styles and play with these sliders
You'll probably also have to alter the layer's opacity. For the Rush sig, I used two solid color layers - one for the dark color and one for the lighter color. Oh the possibilities! I wonder how well it would work with gradient maps or texture layers? Hmmmm. I'm giving you all homework! Give it a try and post your results please. I'd really like to see them.
I love it when playing around and exploring results in a quick and easy way to make something so complicated looking.

ETA: BTW, I also cleaned up some blending issues on Joe's birthday art shown above.
Indeed, I can!! I always thought he was talented and funny, then after your SE experience, I knew he was kind and thoughtful (and huggable) and now I just know he's AWESOME!!! WOOT!!!

He is all of those things and I totally love him to bits!!!!
And I'm sitting here crying because he really is that AWESOME, and because he cares enough to actually say my name!!!!
