Hey, all!

Just a note to the people who friended me solely for my art/icons: I've already made a separate journal for my graphics, so please, remove me from your flist, and if you are still interested in seeing my work, simply watch misprivate.

If you would like to friend me though, my FO post is always open for comments.

Thank you and Happy (almost) New Year, everyone! :)

Hi all!

I finally started a journal solely for my icons and art. I figured it was easier so from now on, all my icon/graphic posts will be posted at misprivate. Feel free to watch the community. Thank you! :)

Tutorials.

2007-05-27T08:22:37Z

Just pretty simple ones, using a lot of curves (+ selective coloring/color balance) because I'm lazy like that. Hee. Anyhoo, these were requested eons ago, sorry it took me long, but I suck at explaining things. So I'll try my best to sound coherent.

-----------------------

+ uno ->

Just a note, this doesn't work for ALL caps. Especially ones that are on the reddish/orange-ish side.

1. Crop the pic, tra la la. Then duplicate, and set to Screen, opacity %100. The change the mode of the image to Lab Color.

Image > Mode > Lab Color

2. Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

Lightness-
I: 36, O: 33
I: 62, O: 75

a-
I: -14, O: -45
I: 47, O: 91

b-
I: -2, O: -29
I: 47, O: 97

3. Image > Mode > RGB Color (Flatten) ..

You can leave it at that? But it's way too red. Although it is the summer so the sunburned look isn't exactly frowned upon.

4. Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

RGB-
I: 115, O: 128

Red-
I: 132, O: 132

Green-
I: 126, O: 117
I: 170, O: 159
I: 200, O: 190

Blue-
I: 71, O: 64
I: 109, O: 91
168, 196

Erase the sky part.

5. To further brighten the greens, among other subtle things.

Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Selective Color

Greens-
Cyan: -100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: +100
Black: +100

Neutrals-
C: +1
M: +3
Y: +2
B: -2

Blacks-
Black: +100

6. Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

RGB-
I: 118, O: 147
I: 197, O: 199

Green-
I: 112, O: 128

Blue-
I: 106, O: 132
I: 209, O: 216

Erase the green part/people part.

7. Add a new [color] layer, #E5E5E5.

Set it to Multiply. Opacity %40. Then go to selective color again.

Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Selective Color

Cyans-
Cyan: -38

Finished.

Like I said, it doesn't apply to a lot of caps. But for example, this cap .

Apply the same steps, but stop at the third one, and don't duplicate and screen, unless you think that looks better.

It's too orange, so to apply more blue. Go to Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

RGB
I: 106, O: 118

Green-
I: 112, O: 99
I: 194, O: 194

Blue-
I: 128, O: 94
I: 172, O: 206

And it's done. I think colorings like these are not suitable for close-up shots of faces and the like. It usually works for sceneries, and when the people are at a great distance.

-----------------------

+ dos ->

1. Duplicate. Screen. Opacity %16.

Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

RGB
I: 97, O: 150
I: 190, O: 194

Red-
I: 129, O: 112
I: 222, O: 217

Green-
I: 116, O: 110
I: 181, O: 204

Blue-
I: 105, O: 101
I: 165, O: 208

Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Hue/Saturation

Master-
Hue: -1
Saturation: +15
Lightness: +7

Flatten.

2. Change image size to 65x65, then put it atop this texture from blimey_icons.

You can leave it at that, or add another texture so there's not a lot of white space. Place this texture [from elli] on Multiply, opacity %55. Flatten.

Image > Adjustment > Brightness/Contrast

Brightness: +5
Contrast: +9

Fin.

-----------------------

+ tres this ->

1. Crop around the subject.

2. Put the subject at center, or where ever you like.

3. Place this texture from loveicon under your first.

4. Set this gradient on top then change the blending mode to Soft Light, opacity depending on how you like it.

5. Flatten.

Layer > New Layer Adjustment > Curves

Red-
I: 115, O: 129
I: 206, O: 210

Green-
I: 126, O: 124

Blue-
I: 121, O: 113

Then erase some of the top part using a soft round brush, with a white color layer underneath. Flatten.

Done.

So that's all. I hope they're useful. Heh.

Meh. It's been forever since I posted icons. So a lot of these are old. I'll probably take requests soon...ish, or like, now is okay I guess. I'm running out of non-NH/Joy things to icon. :P Anything goes, just don't bombard me with OTH stuff (unless they're of Joy, JLs, NH, LH, Hilarie/Joy, tra la la). I'm always bored these days!

Last poll, yayz. The thread is almost done and ready to be posted. I'll probably put it up this Sunday, or Monday at most. FINALLY. Gah.

Vote for your Top 12 S3 scenes. I realized they had a lot of scenes this season. And I apologize if some of the pictures don't match the dialogue, it's been a while since I've rewatched S3 episodes.

Again, the check box for each number is on the bottom left corner. Thanks!
