Another meme! I love memes. I love anon memes. I love concrit. I love anon crit memes, because people aren't afraid to say what they really think. I'm probably a masochist. Answer it, pretty please?

90 Icons + 2 Wallpapers Bones, Misfits, Lost Girl, Billie Piper

Hi, all! Hope you're having fantastic holidays. I haven't been making much lately because I lack the time :P omfg finals and seminars and bricky books, why do they EXIST, flash traveling, almost being run over by a car and some other RL issues. BUT I totally want to compensate that in January. I feel like rambling about graphics. Maybe a Q&A post? Tutorial? Requests? Oh, oh, how about a meme? What do you, my dearest members, want me to do? (I feel a bit like a stripper saying that. It's a strangely good feeling).

One way or another, I didn't feel like I played much with PS, and that's why I was a bit surprised when this post ended up with 90 icons. Those come from magicmachine's Secret Santa '10, where I got the fantabulawesomelicious darlingbones and made graphics relevant to her interests, and from this crazy Billie Piper Extravaganza-slash-icon-battle, hosted by the always lovely marcasite, where 11 makers made over 400 Billie Icons. Seriously. Check both and shower them with love!

And most important of all, guys, GUYS. Have a great great GREAT New Year! Lots of happiness and love and peace and success and ~champagne and fireworks and midnight kisses and hot lovers to everyone ♥ Listen to Oscar Wilde when he says, "everything in moderation, including moderation." See y'all in 2011 :D :D :D

Do you remember this post? Well, some people were nice enough to answer it, and here's some of what I came up with :D Speshul thanks to those who left me pictures!

If you see an icon with a pairing that makes absolutely no sense to you, I'll tell you to hop to no_tomorrow, where a show sort of like a post-apocalyptic West Wing is being created and developed and ficced and fanmixed by stillxmyxheart and her cohorts, who now owe me for the shameless pimpin' and the three hours of sleep that I lost to fix up this post, lol. 40+ fics, guys, it's totally an actual fandom

ROOOOOOOOSE! ♥♥♥♥ I love her face. And her faces. And everything about her. Haters step to the left and keep on stepping.

This took a lot of work, so please don't crop, turn into icons, recolor, modify in any way and/or repost as your own. Don't repost on tumblr either (I already did that myself lol). Thank you!

OKAY, NOW I CAN GO SLEEP. SLEEP IS GOOD. I SHOULD REMEMBER THAT.

NO, YOU'RE NOT HALLUCINATING. I'M REALLY POSTING AGAIN SO SOON. AND QUITE A LOT OF STUFF. DO YOU HATE ME ALREADY?

But I'm really enjoying this prolificness (IS THAT EVEN A WORD, BARBARA)! I'm hoping it lasts, but I'm sure it won't be for too long XD AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING TOO, DAMMIT.
So, this batch is a round up of the prompts I filled at the awesome iconfest at magicmachine. Some of them I hadn't even heard about before, so you might see something awful and/or making no sense, lolz, but I did enjoy dabbling into new stuff. Sadly we couldn't fill all of them, and I apologize if yours was one of those, but I think we did a ~great job! You can also check the master post, organized by our favorite HBIC wild_sibyl, to see all the gorgeous stuff that came from the prompts :D
OKAY, ENOUGH WITH THE RAMBLING. I HOPE YOU LIKE THE STUFFS!

SPAM ME WITH CAPS/PICS!

LOL Directly to the point. But yes, that's basically it. I want to make icons or graphics in general but I'm an incredibly lazy cap hunter, and I'm sort of not in the mood of spending the limited time I have online looking for caps, so I'm asking you to spam me with any and all caps or images you want to see iconed. Win/win situation, y/y?

- No prompts, caps/pics only.
- I'm accepting caps for every fandom/celeb ever. YA REALLY. There's a slight possibility I'll do something stupid if I don't know the fandom very well, but I promise I'll try not to XD
- I can't promise I'll make aaaaaall of them, nor I can promise a date, but let's put it out there and see what happens.

92 Icons. Secret Diary of a Call Girl, The Sally Lockhart Mysteries, Chuck, Iron Man

----

Helloooo! How you doin'? ♥ I've been really busy lately (and will be for the foreseeable future) but whenever I had some time I' run to PS and make some icons :D Chuck because the show only gets better and I hadn't iconed it in a while, Iron Man for magicmachine's Maker Activity, and lots of Bills with a Matt Smith cameo (CAN'T UNSHIP IT).

On a side note, does anyone knows somewhere where I can upload images in bulk, like on photobucket? PB is annoying the hell out of me lately, it's really slow and always (ALWAYS) gives out some sort of error. I'm sticking with it only because I can upload lots of images at a time :P If anyone could help me, I'd be forever grateful.

Hmmm that's it, lol. Hope you like the icons ♥

51 Icons Doctor Who, Billie Piper, Alan Rickman

HEY THERE. I don't know if you noticed, but I disappeared from the face of LJ. That's because I had some Internet issues. BUT NOW ~I'M BACK~! You didn't REALLY believe you'd get rid of me that easily, right? So.
Most of these icons have been sitting on my computer for a while - stillxmyxheart and I were going to have a battle sometime around JANUARY, but no one finished the icons lol. But here are my finished ones. I KNOW, DOCTOR WHO AGAIN.

Still on that thought, what fandoms would you like to see around here? I'm up for anything. I love DW a lot and could probably make a zillion icons of it, but I want new stuff too. You're probably even more tired of it than I am. So, suggestions?

Now we interrupt our normal service for a special birthday post

00mina — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:57:19 GMT

Hi, everyone!

This isn't your usual icon post, I'm already warning.

You see, this month two lovely ladies on my f-list celebrated their birthdays, and I wanted to give them... something, if only not to let it pass without at least a mention. But, well. I'm sort of unemployed and poor (lol), and I sort of live way too far from them. I thought "OH, CHOCOLATE, EVERYBODY LOVES CHOCOLATE", but it would melt in an international trip. D:

Thus, this post was born. Firstly, I was going to post this on my personal journal, but, well, why not to post it here where more people can know all about these great girls? And you can snag the icons/wallpapers if they're relevant to your interests. Or just leave your birthday wishes, I'm sure they'll love it :D

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about zombres is WHAT AN AMAZING WRITER SHE IS. Seriously, guys. She's not only a great, smart, funny, adorable person with great taste in fandom and who always post amazingly relevant to my interests things, she's also really talented. I'm not saying that because I'm a nice person or because it's her birthday month, but because IT IS.

Proof of that is The Lito which you should START READING RIGHT NOW. The Lito started with that casting picspam meme that went around sometime ago on LJ, and gained epic proportions. No, by epic, I really mean, Epic. The picspam turned into a series of fantastic short stories.
You see, her story revolves around the ancient Greek Gods and Godesses and Heroes, only they're even more ancient than usual, because it has been a couple thousand years since Ancient Greece. They have to live in the present days with it's troubles, while still keeping their powers, which leads up to all kinds of shenanigans. Her characterization is FABULOUS, the characters completely relate to what you think the Gods would be like, while still keeping some spice that I'm going to call Angie-ness. Someone has to buy this story for tv. I'd totally watch it.

She's also writing Weird, USA, a novel born from NaNoWriMo that will totally get published sometime soon, and you should be sure to get Angie's autograph before she's too busy with press and fangirls and papparazzi to give you one. i_sing_anyway is her writing blog, WHY AREN'T YOU FOLLOWING IT YET?

And for Angie and all the Lito fangirls (it HAS a solid fanbase already, I'm telling you.), I made some icons! Mostly because, well, it's the only thing I think I know how to do.

You might have noticed that I talk about stillxmyxheart A LOT here (and well, everywhere else). It's because she's one of my ~~hot lover~~ bestest friends online and one of the first people to really welcome me into LJ. The existence of this community is her fault, guys, because she told me "hey you should totally make a comm for you icons because people would like them" and I was "no way" and she was "yes way" and sort of obligated me to do it. And I'm really glad for it :D

Mary is a really cool gal and is online 24h a day. Haha no, I'm kidding about that, even if sometimes it looks like it. She's nice and funny, really lovely, is always willing to help and is a neverending supplier of glee and squeeing and fangirling. She's also a fantastic writer too, she has written about a hundred fics, specializing on those of the Doctor/Rose kind. You can read them at her journal, stillxmyxheart, and at then_theres_us. The girl multitasks and also dabbles on icon and graphic making, check them out at distantbells!

For Mary a bunch of graphics of things she likes. :D

Happy belated oops Birthday, zombres and stillxmyxheart! I totally wanted to make lots of other goodies for you, sweeties, but I left it for the last week and ended up getting busy with real life :( Sorry! I'll make it up to you, just tell me how.

Anyway, I hope you have all kinds of fabulous things you deserve. Everyone should check those two out and shower them with praise and hugs and chocolate :D

Tutorial #001

00mina — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 20:53:07 GMT

HELLO ALL. I wrote a tutorial (well, mostly a tips & tricks post) you may or may not care about. It's all about blending, and how I do it, which may or may not be a good way. You decide.
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and offering the .psds, but the blending part is perfectly translatable. I think.

I like blending as a way to give a twist to pics or caps used a hundred thousand times, by a hundred thousand other makers. It turns the pic (and, by consequence, the icon) a tiny bit different. And a tiny bit yours.

First things first: it's really important choosing the right caps.

Tips on choosing caps for a good blending:
- High-resolutions are LOVE. You can, of course, work with lesser-res pics and still get nice enough results, but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth and you still won't have an icon with a good execution. So let's stick with higher-res.
- If you're iconing a show or movie, try using caps from the same scene or setting, or even two people in the same cap. For celebs, use pics from the same photoshoot. In any case, look for pics with matching (or close enough) coloring and contrast, so the blending will look more natural later. Even if you are a coloring ninja, this will make things a LOT easier for you.
- Images with empty or relatively clean spaces are good. If you try mixing two cluttered messes, the result will probably be a cluttered mess. Only, more cluttered and messier.
- Look for something different. Interesting poses, close-ups, far away cuts. Look for things that go well together. Your favorite ship, things that relate to the character, fandom inner-jokes. This goes with you creativity and your good eye. Think outside the box.
- Ignore all these tips. No, seriously. Some people can do crazy stuff and make it work. Who knows, maybe you're one of them. :D

Well, in fact, as I'm writing this, I didn't make the icon yet. I'm making things up as I go along, and you're in for the ride. Enjoy! ;D

For this icon, I'm using this pic, made of delicious eye!sex. Quality will be good enough when resized. We're making an icon with Brennan and Booth, both of which I want to hit with a big hammer. If you've been watching Bones, you know what I'm talking about.

1. Open a New document, paste the image on a new layer, same thing you always do. I like to keep a copy of the original under all the layers, just in case of a major disaster. Thus, I duplicated the layer then made it invisible, so it won't get in the way.

2. Let's start by extracting Brennan from the pic.
The extracting, for me, is probably the most important technical part of the blending. If it isn't done well, it ruins the composition. So, be careful with that.
It's also a pain in the ass, but the results pay off, specially in shows with busy backgrounds (I'm talking about you, The Big Bang Theory). This way, you can work in new backgrounds and play with the compositions. I do it pratically everytime, just in case.

So, get your Polygonal Lasso Tool (Look for your Toolbox, go for the Lasso Tool > Right click > The middle one), and go all the way around your character. Do it as closely as you can, but no need to be meticulous about it. The resizing will take care of minor flaws. The good thing about the Polygonal Lasso is that you can work on small areas at a time, and cut off unwanted parts OR put in parts you forgot. Zoom in and out as you work for better results.
Here's what I got (click it to see bigger)

3. Now Bones is all pretty and selected, you create a Layer Vector Mask. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, Layer Masks are the best thing since flavored underwear. Third button on the bottom of your layer pallete.

Et voilà.

4. Duplicate the original layer (the one that's invisible) and extract Booth too.

Tips on extracting:
- Do it BEFORE resizing the image. That way, you can keep lots of edge details (and not accidentaly cut an arm off) and still not have to worry too much about being extremely precise. Actually, with blending, resizing is the last thing you do before applying textures and stuff.
- Hair is most of the time a problem. Try to observe the edges and wisps and not cut them off, it will look more natural.
- Don't forget spaces inside the selection, like between arms and body, or between locks of hair. On the Options box, go on the third button with the little squares and deselect those areas.
- If you clicked a lot and your selection is all jagged, use Smooth to get a softer result. Menu Select > Modify > Smooth. 1 to 3 as parameters, depending on your pic. Don't smooth it too much or will loose detail.

5. Okay, now you have Booth and Brennan on different layers, having eye!sex all over you screen. What to do with them?
The good part about having different layers is that you can try different compositions until finding one you like best. First, duplicate everything, to avoid impending doom. Then you play around with them, like paper dolls :D As you do it, the ideas for the final thing will start to come. No pun intended.

6. LOOKIT THEY'RE KISSING

7. This could make for a nice icon.

Let's try it: Crop, with negative space all around them.

8. Resize. Look for a nice background. This is how INSANE my texture list looks like. Go around yours after something you like. I've recently downloaded a set by cookiestome that I'm a bit in love with, and that's where this texture came from:

9. Putting it under all layers, you have this:

10. At this point, you might go on coloring, cropping and doing your thing. But a nice idea, imho, is to play the texture to your favor. See how that one has sort of a dividing line in the middle? See how it's black and white? See how Brennan's coat is also white? That got the wheels on my brain turning.

Flip horizontally both of them. Let's put Brennan in the black side, so her coat contrasts with the black background. Booth then has to go to the other side. This icon might be about contrasts.

11. That dividing line, let's use it. Put Brennan more to the middle of the icon. On the layer mask, paint the area where Brennan is over the white part. Select it first with the Polygonal Lasso, to make your life easier.

Arrange them however you like. Do the same with Booth.

12. The line looks a bit harsh, doesn't it? I don't like it. So, get your Blur tool and go over the line on one of the layer masks. Use a low setting, around 15%, and go over it once or twice until it looks a bit softer. My point is, smooth the edges of your pics to blend them better, preferably on their layer masks.

Tiny difference in this particular icon, but I get annoyed at small things.

13. Now let's blend them a bit better with the background. Get a small Brush, hard with high opacity to paint over the harsher lines, like Booth's coat. I'm using 5px, 90% hardness, 80% opacity, and zooming the hell out of it so I don't erase too much. Brennan's coat looks a bit pixellated too, so I go over the edge of it with the Blur tool at 20% until it looks softer. Careful not to overdo it, or the final product will have sort of an halo around it, or a glow, or it will just look, well. Blurred. This whole party happens on the masks of the respective layers.

Tips:
- When you zoom stuff, go on Menu Window > Arrange > New window for untitled (or whatever your file's name is). Put them side by side.

Zoom one window, look at the other in it's normal size. This way, you can check the results of what you're doing while you're doing it. My workspace looks like this crazy mess right now
- Pay attention and be careful with the things you do to the base layer, as they'll be magnified when you start brightening and coloring your icon.

Hmm. Better.

14. Now color, add textures, and do whatever you want. Here's my final product:

Tips:
- It's better to color everything after you finish the blending part. That way, the different pics will get sort of an uniform color, giving the blending a more natural look.
- Lighten and Exclusion layers on top of everything somehow blend the lines better. I don't know the mechanics of it, I just know they do :P
- Using textures is a Good Idea. The same texture over the entire icon/different parts of the icon gives the illusion that all of it came from the same place. Which is kind of the crucial point of blending: making it look like it has always been there.
- If you look at the .psd, you'll notice that I Stamped Visible (Ctrl+Alt+E) a lot, then worked directly on that layer. Erasing parts, blurring parts, fixing parts that looked wrong, painting over them. Don't be afraid to change parts that don't work for you. I also move layers around a lot - the layer on the top isn't always the last step taken. :P

GUYS, YOU'LL LAUGH AT THIS, OKAY, BUT DON'T LAUGH MUCH. I kind of accidentally overwrote the original .psd after finishing everything D:

Then I followed the tut and made another icon. :D Here it is. Click it to get a nice .psd.

Okay, done with that. Nice, I like it. But this is supposed to be a tut about blending, and little blending was done here. So let's try other stuff.

15. Let's go back to our isolated pics.
BOOTH AND BRENNAN, STILL KISSING, YOU HORNY HORNY PEOPLE!

A thing that I like to do, as most of the time makes for an interesting composition, is having different sized parts. Let's do that here.

Bigger, on the background, we're putting Brennan, because her dark hair makes for good negative space. Cropping it, we have this:

16. Resize Booth until he's a tiny thing on Brennan's side. Select the layer, Edit > Transform > Scale.

17. Resize the entire thing to icon size, then push them around until you like the composition.

On composition:
- Position the pics on relatively clear areas of the others, so both of them stand out. By relatively clear, I mean parts with solid(ish) colors and not many lines.
- Top pics with clear defining lines are Good.
- Better yet if you have contrasting colors, so the subjects aren't too confounded. If they aren't (i.e., two caps with dark backgrounds), you can always use the Lighten mode. Just look out for floating heads or limbs.
- Be creative! :D

18. Blend Booth in, painting over the white parts in the Mask. Random white pixels are awful and can easily ruin your best composition. I'm erasing the white spots too - they're actually Brennan's hair, but you can't see that here and they just look like noise.

19. You can also use the Lighten layer mode when blending. The Ligthen mode substitutes the darker colors of the base pic with the lighter colors of the top one.

Easy on it, though, as it doesn't always give the best results. It's the easiest way to end up with two-headed monsters, or weird people-shaped sprouts, or four eyed heads, or... well, just be careful.

20. A couple more examples of compositions to inspire you, with the finished icons and accompanying .psds.

AND FINIS.
Well, not really, but that's all I can think of saying at the moment. I don't claim to be the all-knowing photoshopper (in fact, I know little short of nothing), and these are just my (quite random) thoughts on the subject. BUT I hope this tutorial was somehow useful for you.

Pardon my bad english (my excuse is it not being first language :P) and any mistakes you might (will probably) find. Please don't use the images shown here or claim the icons/psds as your own. Any questions or doubts or suggestions, leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer it. I'd also like to hear your thoughts - am I doing it wrong? You know a better way? How do you do it? Share with everyone! No questions, doubts or suggestions, leave a comment anyway and make me happy ;D

Thanks for reading! :D

@ tle_lovie - Hi! You also asked for the originals of that wallpaper, but sadly I don't have a .psd... I usually don't save them :( I'm so sorry! But I could look for the pics and textures, if you still want.

74 Requests! Doctor Who, Glee, Bones, Chuck, Vampire Diaries,
Lost, Jonas Brothers, Band of Brothers, Billie Piper, David Tennant,
Twilight, Being Human, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Harry Potter

----

WHAT? TWO UPDATES IN A WEEK? NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING MAD. I'M NOT GOING MAD EITHER, I SWEAR.

I just didn't want to leave you guys waiting for requests any longer :) The first batch goes mostly to those who left pics, because, since cap hunting is the hardest part (imho), I was able to make those faster. Don't get used to it XD You're obviously not obligated to use or even like them, but be sure I made them with ~love~ Sorry for any incoherence (or outright stupidity) you find, I'm not familiar with a couple of shows/subjects. If anyone who requested still wants to leave pics, now would be a spiffy time to do it.

For briar, egotists, hopeitallaway, mai_shiranui, marcasite, mylittlepwny, raychelnina, stillxmyxheart, whatismuch, woodpeck. All shareable!

SURPRISE POST!

I was making icons for magicmachine's monthly activity and got a teeny bit carried away... Plus some icons that have been gathering dust in my HD. Hope you like them! :D Requests are 45% done - once 50% is reached I'll make the first post (there'll be two of them so you don't have to wait too long)

OMG NOW I SHOULD REALLY GO STUDY. Wish me luck on my internship-test-exam-app-thingy tomorrow! \o/

THANK YOU!

Hi, all!
So, I opened the comm to update my resource page and was amazed to see that evercouldbe has 126 watchers! Wow, just, WOW! When I started it I had no idea so much people would appreciate my icon things. Thank you all so much, really! It made me warm and fuzzy :D
Thing is, I now feel awful for not updating in so long. My muse is kind of hibernating :P But let's give it a poke, shall we?

OPEN
19/20

I never took requests before so I don't know how it wo, but let's try 20 spots, up to 5 hi-res(ish) pics/caps for each. Or you could leave interests, and I'll see what I can do.
I reserve the right not to use all the pics, but I'll make something for everybody.
No need to choose only the fandoms I usually icon, I'm willing to go out of the comfy zone.
No need to be a member of the comm to request! ;D
I can't promise you'll like them, though. I'll try my best. I hope you do. :)

Thank you again, everyone! ♥ And sorry for the ramble :P

50 icons Bones, The Big Bang Theory

BOOOOOOOOONES! ♥ I intended to make a small batch. Look at what happened.
I went texture-happy and made crazy experiments. I kind of expect you not to like all of it, but something is salvageable, methinks?

Also, it's incredibly hard to make TBBT icons, that's why there's so little of them. They tend to look all the same :P And the sets are so damn busy. Kudos to those who can.

26 Icons Billie Piper, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Doctor Who
3 Wallpapers Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Doctor Who

It's that time of the year at school - and at life, apparently. But here's a small post!
If you feel you've already seen some of them, it's because they were icontest entries, for doctor_who_lims, billie_lims and dw_epicontest
If you feel there's a lot of Billie Piper in this post, it's BECAUSE THERE IS. I can't help it! :P
If you feel 00mina should stick to one way of numbering the icons, it's because she's very indecisive and really should.
