sunny skies are great, but cloudy days are nicer.

stocks for texture use.

banquier — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 21:37:05 GMT

I wanted to try something different; I noticed most of the photographs I use for my textures are miscellaneous, beaten-up pieces of buildings, or crumbling walls, or even junk laying around. I tried my hand at grasping the grunge in my own house, and I think I've come on to something. I zipped up a folder of 10 stocks to use for making textures, but also an example texture I was able to create using only these images. I hope you all enjoy them, and can use them in your future art pieces!

Because these are my own personal photographs and nothing I've stolen off the web, if you use them in a tutorial or the such please make sure to credit back to me. I hope these are very welcomed in the texture-making world, and that I can continue to give other resources that they will use! Comments are very welcome; after all they let me know I'm doing a good job. ;]

something new.

I realize most of the icons are crap, lulz. Comments are fantastic since they let me know I'm doing a good job, and otherwise I will slack off like crazy. Credit is also nice, but I won't stalk you down if you don't.

promotion.

banquier — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:17:29 GMT

following in the footsteps of Lex, i tried my hand out at a new community and was accepted with open arms. it seems like a great community to learn from and grow in, and the maintainers are fantastic with critique.

banquier — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:14:31 GMT

I'm currently working on a batch of icons, but they definitely aren't ready. I tried some new things with the texture set, and am now offering my first bases pack!

Thanks guys, and I hope everyone is doing well!

Okay, so I went a little crazy. For those of you that don't know, I'm pretty much obsessed with cats and icanhascheezburger.com is practically my favorite site. So, I decided to make some icons of these cats! All of these were inspired by januaried and eternalphoenix_. :]

banquier — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:35:28 GMT

Hello everyone! This is my first "official" post in my new community! I have a request for everyone who enjoys my artwork/skillz/amazingness. If you could promote padlockk in your icon journals or communities, I will love you forever, and quite possibly take some suggestions as to icon subjects you would like to see! I realize there is not an actual icon post yet, but I have a special collaboration I am finishing up and will be posted within the next day or so.

Also, I am looking for affiliates! Please comment here if you are interested; I will promote all communities that affiliate. :]
