resources

2007-06-14T17:28:19Z

I will try to keep a neat list of resources going here. I do not download zip files to save on my computer because I prefer galleries. I don't really use brushes or textures, so this list is basically links to screencap galleries. For TV shows, they are listed in order of frequency of use. Movies, I am just going to link and list what movies are available. I rarely make movie-related art.

If you think I am missing a credit, please comment. Also, if you know of a great resource or notice a broken link, feel free to comment and let me know. Lots of resources is a good thing. =)

Tutorial: Coloring
For: snowflakie06

A tutorial on the coloring of my Veronica Mars batch requested by snowflakie06. This will cover going from this cap, thanks to VM-Caps, to this icon: .

1. Before cropping, I duplicate the base image twice and set both new layers to Screen 100%.

2. I add a Color Fill layer (#CEB191) on top of all the layers and set it to Soft Light 100%.

3. I duplicate the original image and move that layer above the Color Fill layer, setting it to Soft Light 100%.

4. I duplicate the original image again and move that layer about the Soft Light layer, setting it to Screen 100%.

5. I add a Color Fill layer (#00D0BA) above the Screen layer and set it to Soft Light 25%.

6. I add a Selective Color layer above all of the layers and use Red (Black 5%) and Black (Black 5%).

7. Now that I have my basic layers, I crop the image down to 100x100. I try to leave some of the image outside the boundary of the crop tool in case I want to adjust it. I almost never choose Delete, but always Hide.

8. I create a new layer above my Screen layers and below my first Color Fill layer. I fill that layer with a 100x100 Pattern I made, then I set it to Hard Light 100%.

->

9. Now is when I start playing with the image placement to see if there is a better framing than my original crop gave me. This is why I don't Delete when I crop. In this case, I kind of wanted Logan to stay in the frame. When I moved the image over, the text popped into my brain based off KB's expression, and the rest is history. I felt the color block was needed to help the text stand out, but usually I try to avoid them. I just chose a color out of the image and tweaked it until it worked for me.

&

10. Final layers for the coloring are below, the font is Kravitz Thermal (14 px, #FFFFFF), etc. Only nine layers if you don't count the text and color block.

Feel free to ask question for clarification. Sometimes I forget a step or think something is clear when it isn't to others.

Please do not copy the steps to make the exact same icon. If you try this tutorial out, I'd love to see the results.

Like I said in the sidebar, I would be happy to take requests at almost any time. All I ask is that you provide the screencap(s) and that your request fall under a fandom that is listed on the userinfo page.

Examples:

Fandom: The Office
Link: http://www.leavemethewhite.com/uscom/displayimage.php?album=52&pos=0
Request: Textless Phyllis icon please! =)

You might receive something like this ... .

OR

Fandom: Supernatural
Link: http://www.stripedwall.com/cpg/displayimage.php?album=131&pos=6, http://www.stripedwall.com/cpg/displayimage.php?album=131&pos=8
Request: Dean & Sam header with imagemap text for entries, friends, calendar, and userinfo please! =)

You might receive something like this ... .

Requests will be filled as soon as possible. Most likely, I will work on them when I am feeling uninspired by my own ideas, so I will jump to yours! I will reply to your comment with a link to the post that contains your request. Fulfilled requests are shareable.

Any questions, just ask.
