venture...the mouse art realm

24 July 2005 @ 04:39 am

Yes I am bored OMG and I don't feel like doing anything but writing this up and moping kthxbai.

Base used is of Agatsuma Soubi, a character from Loveless, taken from a scan posted by

kiradyn_rhiode in

raburesu.

Tools of trade: Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe ImageReady and again, I don't know how translate-able is the tutorial, I'm not familiar with anything else besides the two above.

Tutorial is extremely image-heavy as I used graphical representations for the ImageReady section. My apologies to dial-up users.

From

to

and

Comments more than appreciated, and works posted even more appreciated. Hope that this tutorial is useful to a few of you. =)

First Icon Tutorial

Because I think if I don't store it here, it's a complete waste seeing how I just spent hours writing up this thing. >>;; Ironic seeing how I'm going to get rid of this thing anyway. Oh well.

I tried to keep it simple for beginner's sake, but please feel free to ask me to clarify if I've skipped steps.

How to make

from

Cap chosen is of James Wilson (played by Robert Sean Leonard) from House MD. This tutorial is intended for Adobe Photoshop users and I have no idea how translate-able is this tute.

Tutorial is image-heavy, please take note! =)

Hope that was an okay tutorial, beam me with suggestions to improve if you can. Since this is my first one, it's probably pretty very ugh. >.<;;

Now I go off and SLEEP. Ho ho ho. I'll love to see the stuff people can make out of my tutorial so feel free to post them! ^.~

Jumble

Yes, I have been iconing lately. Just...nothing specific. I'm having so much fun with entering contests because for once, I don't really have to THINK about my icon. The basics are set out for me...yeah. I am a lazy person. </p>

12 icons in this post - very little. >_<;; And they are from...well. All over. Lazy to make a teaser post, so just go ahead if you're interested.

I finally updated this thing, so that's saying something. Note: I'm not back online at LJ. My personal journal shall remain on hiatus - making icons is something I love to do and will keep on doing, therefore the only updates from me will be at this icon journal if any at all.

Anything to say to me, you know where to find me. =D
