First, I appreciate everyone who friended the journal and followed me around for so long, you guys are the bestest. I will not delete the journal, so for those of you just discovering it can have a look around. There will be no more updates here. I am working on something (pandaspoon), but I need to get back in the swing of things first.

Second, all icons are hosted here. It's semi-organized.

Third, these icons were never posted, but they're up for grabs if you want. Personally they're not that great, they were made in April, LOL.

Nina <3

ETA: December 28, 2008

MOVED TO pandaspoon.
Finally finshed everything, I think I wanted to do. So from now on all icons/graphics will be found there. Thanks again!!!

ismellsnow — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:43:16 GMT

I'm on a Mac and my icons have a different coloring from Safari to Firefox, so I'm curious from the images below, which is the closest to the coloring seen on your computer screen.

Safari |
Firefox |

I really appreciate any response. Thank you! :D
ETA: And I guess which set do you like better, coloring wise. Maybe I can make some adjustments when I make icons in the future.

*** Also taking 5 requests. Post up to 3 photos, as HQ as possible. Maybe I'll take some more if I have some time. So if you miss out, you can try your luck and still post.

Calling all icon makers! It's another Last Icon Maker Standing competition dedicated good icon makers.

good_lims good_lims good_lims

So if you like to participate go here.

Also, there is a twist to this lims. This lims is about giving constructive criticism, which some lims are lacking. People are getting their friends to vote for them and disregarding the quality and other great icon makers are being snubbed. So here it is: If you'd like to become a voter, sign ups are here

The first challenge is up, but you can still participate until the day before voting, as long you're accepted.

You can sign up to be a voter at any time. The more voters the better! So go sign up!

Please spread the word around and come join!

So, here are the requests. I am so nervous. Some of the requests were firsts for me (and will probably stay that way) so I hope you like them. I tried really hard to make them all different, hence the amount of time it took me to post them. I don't know if I'll take requests in the future, I guess it all depends on how this first one goes...

049. TUTORIAL # 3: Pushing Daisies.

ismellsnow — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 23:21:24 GMT

requested by ingenu0us.

to
For PS & PSP users.
*** Optional selective coloring.

I'm going to make this simple.

01. Base & Duplicate twice.

and set duplicates to SCREEN.

02. Color Balance.

Midtones: -20, 9, 4
Shadows: 6, 10, 11
*** UNCHECK "Preserve Luminosity."

03. Levels.

RBG: 12, 1.44, 255
Red: 12, 1.20, 255
Blue: 1, 1.11, 255

04. Curves.

RBG: 1st point: 128, 149 ; 2nd point 64, 71
Red: 128, 131
Green: 128, 132
Blue: 128, 141

05. Selective Color (optional; see below).

Red: -11, -7, 3,-6
Yellow: 0, 0, -5, -3
Green: -38, 19, 42, 53
White: 0, 0, -7, -5
Neutral: 2, -3, -6, -6
Black: -13, 0, 0, 5
*** CHECK "Absolute."

06. Color Fill.

#160202 and set to EXCLUSION.

07. Merge.

08. Duplicate.

09. Unsharpen Mask.

Amount: 11%
Radius: 29px
Threshold: 0 Levels.

*** The original is a little darker and has more white. There may have been a Auto Levels after the merge.

*** For those of you without PS, don't fret.

PSP result: .

After the merge, I used unsharpen mask twice. You may just need to up the curves or levels a little bit afterwards. This one is actually closer to the original, so there you have it.

I don't make tutorials often, mostly because I don't know which icon people would like to see. What is the point to make a tutorial nobody wants? So if you'd like to see a tutorial just ask, and I'll see what I can do, I really don't mind the questions.

Also, I know the new thing is to post the .psd, I'm not going to do that. There is no reason to mass produce a technique, m'kay? Every picture is different and the coloring should be too.

I made this batch like a million years ago, actually it has been sitting here since April. I just don't have anymore inspiration left. It's hard coming up with new stuff, and this stuff, not so new.

I'm not linking it anywhere, I just felt like posting it to just post it.

First time ever making SPN icons. I hope you like them! I'm a little nervous, they're pretty simple, I'm trying to get used to the caps (that is my excuse for lack of text and textures). *shurgs* We'll see how this batch goes.

The only reason I made SPN icons in the first place is ALL Jenn (organza's) fault, who pushed me to do something different after I read Ausiello's post on Wednesday and who this post is dedicated to.

As for the other icons, most of those were made last month.

I, on the other hand, I have another VM batch in the works, I have 20 or so done already, so expect that soon.
