The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread
Got reacquainted with Photoshop. Made some wallpapers, played a little with Cut Out effect... Getting mojo up and running is one of the most inspiring things.
(I had another one, but PB refuses to upload it. Oh well.)
Looks like that PB reduced the size of those two wallpapers. They're supposed to be 1366x768, but you still get the general idea. Just blurred one.
And while I'm here, here's some stuff I put together for Awarness Campaign and background for Twitter account, made of some fav avvies.
After I finished my entries, I decided to make some SANCTUARY > Hero II icons/banners and mess around with some layer blending modes and came up with these:

Last call for challenge entries I'm gunna post them in half an hour/hour's time - unless you're just finishing yours in that case just holler (via PM!)
If I've got yours I should have sent you a PM too, so again holler if you haven't got one!

Ack! I'd forgotten how hard this is!!!!!! Ok, here's my guesses.....
Spoiler:
1. Aveo?
2. LJ
3. hlndncr?
4. Jas
5. Josi
6. It's driving me nuts cos I know I've seen something very similar to this recently, but I can't remember who made it
7. Padme
8. Sarai
9. Aveo?
10. Snow or CC? I don't think it's anyone who's been here ages cos I don't recognise the style
The only ones I'm sure of are LJ, Jas, Padme and Sarai.......but I'm probably wrong there too
I think we should know who actually sent in entries for the challenge. That might make the guessing too easy for some of you, but it might give me a chance of getting one right occasionally.
Totally Random Guesses (I hope I don't offend anyone):

3. Oma
4. Starlover Graceful Spirit
5. Snow CC

Reason: Revised guesses (I probably still have them all wrong).

Egle asked for a tut of my current sig - it was so incredibly simple I feel like a fraud writing a tut for it
Spoiler:
1. Start with this incredibly thunkable pic (which has such great texture it does all the work for you ) Resize and sharpen. (This is the bigger pic on the right)
2. Duplicate the layer, desaturate, set to Overlay at 75%.
3. Add in the original pic again, resize, place at the far left. Desaturate and sharpen.
4. Duplicate the layer, set to Overlay at 75%.
5. Transparent Layer - Use the vertical line select and stroke at 3px where the 2 pics meet, then use the rectangle select and stroke to make the border. Colour 000000. Set the layer to normal at 70%.
6. In a new layer add this texture. Place it on the right, then duplicate, flip horizontally, and match it up to the other half. Merge the two layers, set to Overlay at 100%.
7. Make a stamp of all the layers, set to Hard Light at 50%.
