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

Hmmm, you guys are good at guessing my work. And I didn't even know I had a style.

Icons yay.


Some spoilers for 6x15, but nothing too big.

Trust me, we all have a style. Don't feel bad though. When I do sekrit challenges, mine are always guessed too.

Yep. We all have a style. I though mine were pretty obvious once I saw them all posted together. Sometimes it's fun during the sekkrid challenges to see who tries to fool us by mimicing someone else's style too.

I'd forgotten what the size was supposed to be so I'd made a sig as well as the icon for the challenge:

Ooo, I like it!

How do you do that cut-out look? Do you place the picture underneath and erase or do you cut out the pictures and place them on top?

[Aveo_amacus]

I put the pic in one layer (or 3) and then on another layer I filled it white and then using the square brush on 100 hardness and 100 opacity I blocked out the shape I wanted in black and then set the layer to "Lighten" so the pic comes through. Then there are 2 more layers with brushes to soften the white and make it less stark

I did move them closer together for the icon cos otherwise they ended up too small, but I copied the merged layers and erased the Jack side on one layer and the Sam side on the other and stretched them

Beautiful!

It's not just me then that found re-working the old wp far, far harder than making a new one from scratch?
