graphics journal update + friends only from now on

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:03:51 GMT

I've considered this for a while and thought it would be a good idea :)

I've created a new community, drycolor , so that I have a place to post my textures and icons. I think this will be much more comfortable for everyone, and I kind of want to start using my personal journal for things other than graphics. So come and watch, and expect all my new sets to be posted there. I re-posted the old sets there as well.

I'm really excited about this, I never thought I'd get to
this point when I finished my first set of textures XD
Thank you to everyone who downloaded and commented
on my graphics here and see you @ drycolor !

ETA: All entries here are friends-only from now on, if you wish to be added, reply to this entry :) (comments are screened)

I said I'd finish and post them on Wednesday but you guys know how it is, real life took over ;)

This set contains 77 textures and is very varied; I included a couple of paper textures and a few that I made from scratch in Gimp.

texture set 9

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:18:50 GMT

It seems a lot of people liked my previous set and I figured maybe I should make more textures like that. (did I say something about not wanting to be repetitive two posts back? lol, scratch that, for now XD)
So here they are, 71 of them :D
They're my favorite set so far, I think :)

Texture set 7

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:48:46 GMT

I think I might be getting the hang of this whole texture business :)
And it's really addicting, you know? :D Much more fun that icon making ^__^
This set is a bit similar to the last one because it's scratchy as well. But other than that it looks different - I really don't want to get repetitive.

60 textures.

The weather outside inspired me, I guess :)

I actually made these from the same pictures I used to make the grainy ones, lol.
They're red, brown, yellow and a bit green, and there's 50 this time. (in .png)

I think I'm done with the grainy ones for now, I'll try something new and colorful next time.

By the way, here are some textures I made just by blurring a pic, they're nothing special but maybe you'd like to grab one or two, they may come in handy.

Icons!

Grainy textures

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:12:02 GMT

Here's another batch I made!

It's 64 black and white grainy textures. I took some random photos of postcards, magazines etc and Photoshop did the rest.
It turns out pretty much everything is grainy if you macro it enough XD

Doctor Who mood theme

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:48:28 GMT

Today I finished my first mood theme! It's from Doctor Who, and it's all David Tennant (all screencaps I used are from season four of the new series).

Check under the cut for download, info etc.

Teaser:

It's my first mood theme and this tutorial by snubbly helped me a lot when creating it.

The mood theme is complete : 132 png files. Rar file size is 1,8MB, after unpacking it's 2,57MB.
Here is the preview link: preview
Here is the link to .rar file : download

ETA: IMPORTANT! Please rename the 'embarassed' theme file to 'embarrassed' (add an 'r') before you upload the theme to a host. People who use admin console to create the theme will have problem with that file showing up. I'm very sorry about this :(

Credit would be appreciated but is not necessary. Comments are welcome. If you have any questions or problems, let me know.

Closing ceremony

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:41:53 GMT

...was great, wasn't it? I mean, the opening one just left me speechless because of its beauty. This one was so much more spontaneous and fun.
The London bit was a little awkward, but I'm sure they'll get their act together by 2012. They better do, I plan to be there! XD

Under the cut are 32 icons from the closing ceremony.

They're doing it on purpose, I swear

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:49:10 GMT

Taking such great photos and posting them everywhere so that I can't help myself and make more icons XD

I'm not into artistic gymnastics at all but it's a shame the US didn't win the gold, I liked their music and outfits better ^_^

31 icons. I don't ask for credit, but comments are <3

More icons!

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:05:48 GMT

So Poland still hasn't won a medal but there's Michael Phelps to look at so I'm not going to complain XD

Here's another batch of icons - I don't know the names of most of these athletes except Phelps, Laure Manaudou, Rafa and Serena :( *hangs her head in shame*. I just like looking at pretty pictures ^_^

31 icons.

Olympics icons

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:54:38 GMT

The opening ceremony for the Olympics was the most astounding thing I've seen in a long time.
I immediately wanted to iconize it.
Later I came across some great pictures from the actual competitions, so I had to use them too :)

31 icons in total, 7 of Michael Phelps (he's a God).
Comment please if you take but credit is NOT required!
