[Rachel-Kree]

it is a texture Blacky here it is

fonts: there are three fonts in there: 'Trajan Pro' ; 'marketing script' and 'copperplate gothic light'

guys i couln't make the same sig because i really don't remember but i tried this one, can i post the tutorial for this one?

[Rachel-Kree]

tutorial for that


PNG file with the colouring here then you can use it in another sig without making it again

Spoiler:

1. Create a new file.
2. now chose and crop your pics, but some of clear bg like white and grey.
3.(this step is personal) use the gradient mask to blend them and put them next to each other or you can use your own method to crop
4.put them all in the center like that and don't merge layers:
after that just fill the bg with white color
5.add a layer mask in the layer of the pic and chose a black to transparent gradient end use it like that: (i did one from the bottom to the middle of their shoulders)


now you can rotate the pic a little bit if you wish

colouring:

Spoiler:

1. new adjustment layer>selective color
reds: -90, 20, 50, -10.
yellows: -100, 50, -30, 0
whites: 60, -65, -100, -20
neutrals: 22, -11, -23, 0

2. another selective color:
reds: -50, 0, 30, 0
yellows: -30, 0, 20,0
cyans: 100,0,0,0
whites: 100, 12, -12, 0
neutrals: 10, 5, -10, 0

3. use this gradient on soft light

Merge everything

6. set this texture to 'darken' and erase a bit on their faces.

7. new adjustment layer>curves: RGB: output: 120; input: 100.
8. use this notebook texture on 'multiply'

9. use this texture on ' screen' and erase a bit above their faces.

Merge Layers

now sharpen it once and add some text... i added the font 'never let go'
it is done

[josiane]

Oooh lookit all the pretties today

Kitten, love the icons, and yes LJ is free - you should sign up and join in with some of the icon challenges

Estrela, gorgeous CotG sig, I'm loving this nostalgic thing you've got going on!

Jasmina *bows down* I really don't know what to say about your icons any more! But as ever, they are fabulous

Oma, Achaja and Rachel, gorgeous challenge art, all of you. And Rachel, I love the friendship sigs and thanks for the tut! *snurches textures*

Love it Oma!! Yey for the extra week!

Have now dispatched a BOLO for muse, although I did have PSP open yesterday. I was swapping my brother's friends' heads around for him whilst he was doing his exam. prep Am ignoring own revision...

OMG! I have just had the most scary ten minutes of my life!

I re-installed the software for my printer, and a message came up saying some files had been lost. So I started to check...

I opened my main Artwork folder (which is on my external hard drive for safety ) and it was EMPTY!!! Everything was gone, all my artwork, all my PS brushes, gradients, patterns, my fonts...... everything!

I took a deep breath, and I thought, okok, but my Martin stuff is in his separate folder, that should be ok....... but that was gone too

My poor brain was scrabbling to get a grip, and finally told me to try a System Restore. The most recent restore point was yesterday, so I clicked it and crossed all my fingers and toes......... and thank heavens it worked, I've got everything back!

Phew!

Now I'm going to back it all up on dvd so it can't happen again

((((Jumble)))) Thank goodness they're all OK!

[Jumble]

Yeah, I mean it's not really the worst thing that's ever happened to me.... but it sure felt like it there for a while And I mean, my Martin stuff... *faints at the memory*

I don't like making these icon things...there so small and you can't fit anything into them I'm so sticking with WP's

[TrueRomantic]

Lovely everyone!!

Twin, did you see my post before?

[Padme18]

Lovely everyone!!

Twin, did you see my post before?

Yeah, I think. I don't care what is on the Seeker sig.

[TrueRomantic]

Okay then. *scampers off to go find awesome pics to make a LotS sig with*

[hbt123]

Woo! Tesla LJ header!


Also... I finally attempted icon making! It feels so DIFFERENT! *dramatic sigh*
Anyway, since I just finished a 4 day long doctor who marathon, I'm in a bit of a residual fangurling stage right now... it'll pass.
