Liz/erzsebet asked me about my favourite textures so let me show some off to you :3 [ONLY FIVE MONTHS LATE HAH]

Okay so texture-wise, I mainly stick to a few makers, mainly fuuurs @ bourbonate and innocent_lexys @ satine_violet. Funnily enough, sometimes people think that I've added textures to an icon when I haven't? IDK. Also, I go through periods when I add ALL THE TEXTURES and others when I don't use any at all.

Since the two crashes suffered by my HD a few months ago, I haven't had much time to go on a texture-hunting spree~ but I've some ~favourite textures. There are also some textures that I'm planning to use, or just find really pretty and WANT TO USE THEM BUT IDK HOW OR WHERE YET.

( image-heavy warning i guessCollapse )

+ CHECK THESE OUT???

HIIIIII. It's been a while :3 I had a period of total un-inspiration BLEH, and then school started up again and I got crushed under piles of work. BUT I've been playing around in PS here and there, so I have a batch of new icons from September and October! OORAH~

First time using Imgur as a main image-hosting site too wow look at all these changes. Hm in PS I've been looking at text, colours, and composition. Idk if I've ~improved in any of those aspects, but there are a couple of icons that I do like from this batch even if others are p rough. I wanted to see if I could smooth grainy caps out without using Topaz (bc I don't have it—I tried it once and I think I prefer the method I learned from tinebrella).

My inspirations are p clear to me: endearest, mainly, but also pamkips (for text on the Inception icons) and talipuu (basically because she is super awesome and magical and asfhbkjdhk).

P.S. I know I still have questions to answer from ATM; I'll get to them when I can over the next few weeks before my exams <3

P.P.S. SORRY FOR ALL THE ALTS that said if you want a textless version lmk~

So what happened during most of July and early August was that I completely lost my iconning/graphic-making mojo and slunk away to write a whole lot instead. YES. But before that, or during that (ICR), the gorgeous fancifull and I teamed up to battle it out. We decided to both choose 5 caps of Harry Potter and Community, as well as 5 technical themes each. I am really really grateful to have done this because it did jolt me back into opening PS again, and although I had a bit of trouble with some icons/caps (YOU CAN TELL), it was refreshing to do this battle, so TYSM SARAH <3

LE SIIIIIGH. So what happened was that my hard drive crashed on me again on Monday so I lost alllll of my caps again (not many tbqh) and I debated whether or not to get PS again if my HD does go kaput again (CROSS ALL THE FINGERS AND TOES). But I felt bad because I joined theiconquest and I haven't submitted anything yet >:| so yes, here are my icons for that and some random ones for animangavgflash and iconflashes.

These are really random, because my laptop died last Friday and I had to erase the hard disk and reinstall everything. Everything I had from the past 3 years? G O N E. But anyway~ Here's my entry for the final round at 20inspirations. A whole lot of words.

I feel like I don't necessarily have a style, because I'm still on a learning curve. Sure, I'm comfortable with certain styles, and I know what I like, but I'm always changing what I do here and there. Maybe that's why there are so many words; I'm trying to compensate by telling y'all more about me. I found this quote and I would love to make graphics by it:

"People have said there is an integrity about me, and I think there is. I don't try to follow a trend. I have my own little path." - Sarah Brightman

+ a promo for a community I've just started up:


myriadis is based on inspiration challenge communities such as 20inspirations, inspired20in20, a_mused, and smashingart but for both graphics and writing (including mini-mixes).

→ At the beginning of each round, there will be an inspiration challenge post. It will consist of images, words, music, and videos. There will also be a general overarching theme that will inform the inspirations and the subsequent submissions.

→ Like a 20in20, you have 20 days to submit your entry. Unlike a 20in20, you don't need to make 20 separate pieces, but rather 20 points worth (at least) of graphics and writing. As this is a ~multi-media~ community, you are challenged to create at least 5 points worth of writing (500 w) AND 2 points worth of graphics/mini-mixes.

→ Want more information? Check out our rules/about page and our posting guidelines!

Just join for posting access if you're interested. The first inspiration post will be up in a few hours, around 12pm UTC :3 is up omgosh :D
