I am visiting the parents for Christmas and NY. So if you have requested that I upload some screencaps again, I apologise but I don't have access to them right now. I will re-post them when I get back home in the New Year, if you remind me :-) The Hogfather caps are working. Scroll down the comments to my re-post for the download and enjoy :-)

Hogfather Icons

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 17:01:55 GMT

My first batch of Hogfather icons. Lots of Mr Teatime, Susan and Lord Downey, amongst others. Usual rules apply (comment's appreciated, credit required).

Mr Teatime

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 20:19:10 GMT

Ok, as requested, here is a gallery of 180 pictures, entirely dedicated to Mr Teatime screenshots from my screenshots collection. So if you only want Mr Teatime pictures, or you can't download the files for what ever reason, you can now get them here.

This took me a long time to do, as I had to upload them one at a time. I did not include every screenshot he appeared in, but I selected what I considered were the best ones.

They are in reverse order, I am afraid. I forgot photoshop uploads images backwards :-s

I would love to see what you do with them if you take them :)

Enjoy!

Painting

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 16:36:02 GMT

Digital painting. I did this one whilst my computer graphics card was dead and the colours were all strange, so I am quite impressed that it turned out ok. I was going to add to it, but I decided I liked it the way it was.

Photo

I liked this photo I took whilst at Cruden Bay in the summer. I've a whole heap of photos from the coast line of Scotland. I shall begin playing with them when my computer is fixed.

Ellison icons

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 13:08:57 GMT

You may know her from the Phantom of the Opera (I do). 8 icons of Jennifer Ellison :) "Dreamer" (last icon) won first place at phantom icontest. Thanks to them for the wonderful images. If the colours are off it's because my computer has died. New one will hopefully sort that out though :-)

I think I may do more of these. She's very icon worthy!

Usual rules apply, please comment and credit.

Wooo

Thu, 31 Aug 2006 19:00:09 GMT

Back in business! I have my old harddrive working again, and all those promised icons (Dune and Stargate) have been found and saved. I'll add a few more over the next few days, and hopefully get them up by next week.

Phew. All that hard work nearly went south! So tomorrow I'm spending ALL DAY burning my files onto discs.

Wish me luck.

This one was a pain in the... well, I enjoyed it, but the background had to be beaten out of me, and the flowers are not what I originally had in mind. Still, overall it didn't turn out too bad.

Back to the drawing board.

I love the way these flowers turned out. I'm not entirely happy with the overall picture, but I am going to stop playing with it, because the more I play with it, the less I like it.

Gone a while

Sun, 02 Jul 2006 23:32:02 GMT

I know I've been offline a while, sorry about that. I'm likely to be offline for a week or so more. I'm having computer problems (harddrive failed - don't worry, I have everything backed up!) and I graduate on tuesday, so the parents are coming up and it's all very hectic and stressfull. Wish me luck :)

I'll be back with some more stuff soon. Got a great icon update coming up, some fab Dune icons and some even better Stargate icons (More Ba'al...*drool*) I've really enjoyed making them.

Until then, I'm off to bed. I'm still terrified about this graduation ceremony. Why oh why!? I'm only doing it for my Mum.

Tutorial

Tue, 23 May 2006 17:03:12 GMT

Getting Text to Follow a path.

A quick tutorial on how to get your text to hug an image. This involves paths, but is relatively simple to accomplish. If your image is complicated, the process will also be complicated, so practice with simple pictures or shapes first :-)

This tutorial requires some basic knowledge of the Photoshop CS (2) interface. You will need to know where to find your lasso tool, and how to use it, and where to find your text tool and character pallet and how to use them. If anyone thinks a tutorial on these would be useful, let me know :)

Wrap that text!

Using your magnetic lasso tool (in the pallet on the left), select the outline of the image you wish the text to follow. Here in this image I selected the whole of her outline.
When you have a selection, go to your 'paths' pallet (it should be somewhere on the right, with your 'layer' pallet. If not, go to the top menu called 'Window', and select 'Paths' to open this pallet.) In the top right corner there should be an arrow. Click it to get the menu. Select 'Make Work Path'. Now in your paths pallet you'll see you've turned your selection into a path.

This is a useful technique for outlining a piece of an image or a shape that you wish to follow with a brush ( to do this simply right click on your path to select 'stroke path' and using the drop down menu, you can outline the path in your current brush or pencil settings! Very neat trick) or with text:

Select your text tool. If you hold your text curser over the line of the path on your image, you'll see it change slightly. Click where you wish your text to start from. Now type and watch your text follow the path (I often type my text first, then cut and paste it onto the path, as it can be difficult to type in squiggly lines). Using the 'Character' pallet, you can adjust the font size, the alignment and the spacing between letters to get the final effect you want. This may take some time and if your path is very squiggly, some fonts will be better suited to it than others. You will have to experiment, but with a little time and patience you'll soon get the hang of it.

This trick is also great for getting your text to hug a shape and to go around circles. You can also simpley 'create a path' using your pen tool, and get your text to flow in whatever direction you want.

Stargate Icons

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 21:54:25 GMT

Stargate Icons - Update Two.

Here are some more Stargate icons for you. Lots of Ba'al icons, couple of Vala icons, and a few random others. Please comment, credit, etc. Most images taken from SG1 Season 9 - I don't think there are any particularly spoilery icons, but just in case - you have been warned :)

Sorry for the quality of some of the images - the screenshots I made them from were diar, and it took me ages just to make them visable. If anyone has some high quality screenshots from Off the Grid, and other Ba'al episodes (esspecially season 9) then please let me know :) Thanks.
