The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread
ooh I like all the icons and sigs that are posted!
But now I have a question...for y'all... I want to make a sig atm...with a good picture of Sam with long hair...but I really have trouble finding a good one...so the question is...post a good picture of Sam with long hair(so Jann can make an signature outta it)
oh and 2...is it allowed to use pictures from the AoT in your signature?
Q1 Uh, sorry, I don't have any good pics of sam with long hair down....yet
Ohhh, good idea for a thread. Always new stuff to learn. I will browse it later (when I'm not at work ). I use PS also, LOVE IT.
And an artistis eye?? Nope, don't have it. My secret is just try and try and try, till something turns out nice
And, when you're new: start with using tutorials, you learn a lot. But when you know your programme, don't follow tutorials step by step anymore, just try yourself. I only use a tut now when I see something I really like and want to know how to do it. Or sometimes little parts of a tut, cause the original maker had this great idea I just HAVE to use
And I have lots of links to textures and brushes, and I mean LOTS. But they are on my computer at home. Will post later

yay Lies has texture links, I love your textures, so be sure to share them... I love textures..
By any change you don't have any brushes with text on (and I don't mean a font) I really lack that
Also maybe we can do a tutorial together one time, I mean to see how different we can be Remeber the time we did it Lies
okay people next question...and I know I ask lazy questions...but hey it's probably also fun for y'all
I am in need of new fonts... And I'm to lazy to search on Dafont.com for good ones...did that once...well...Im to lazy for it
so I want y'all to post your top 3 of fav fonts(linkies) so I can probably use them too...or just a font that you like a lot...
(hey I said I was lazy)
mov (Quicktime) files cannot be imported into WMM. I believe you have to convert them first into a WMM capable format (like wmv). You can use Quicktime Pro to do this if you have it.
Another option is to download a free converter that does this. Bink Smack is one that is recommended, but I found that a lot of quality is lost in the conversion process. You might want to give it a try though.

First, almost everything I use is credited in my LJ. So, browse to those links and you'll find a bunch of cool stuff.
My most favourite large textures are from Hybrid Genesis, but mostly the old textures and I think those are taken off the site. Textura and Radiance also have great textures.
For icon stuff I love most: Haudvafra and Meleada. But I really use lots and lots of stuff. See the credit in my LJ.
Eve, for text, you mean tiny text? I've got all of mine from LJ also, just do a search.
As for blending. I usually blend with the gradient tool. Set to black and white. Works really well (although the feathering Jann mentioned also works nicely).
Fonts I like:
Susie's Hand (but I don't know where I found it) WillandGrace Annifont
And of course Angelina and Scriptina (but don't overuse it lol, it's not very original)
Also a very nice site for fonts is 1001 Free Fonts. I think I have over 1000 fonts, I love so many of them! I usually just browse through them and end up with a font from the A's or B's
Lol, enough linkage for now
And Eve, I almost never follow a tutorial anymore, but if you find a cool one, we can do it together. That used to be fun

And Lies, I haven't done a tutorial in ages I really sometimes miss it though but some tutorials are just sometimes too easy. Maybe we should do one with all the thread eh? Any intrest in it??
