I know I'm in my own world... it's okay, they know me here

I got such a lovely response to my last trio of wallpapers that I made some more!

( 3 Supernatural Wallpapers )

This icon was too much to pass up. I know my policy is not to use icons made by other people, but, really. Just look at it. (You'll have to have seen Heroes to get the joke)

I was so pleased with my Superman Returns banner that I decided to make a tutorial for it to show other people how to do similar things, and hopefully have a lot of fun doing it :) So, here goes!

We are making this from these three pictures.

I'm online at work and I went to look at my userpics and all my icons look really, really dark on my work PC! I've heard of this happening to other people, too, so I'd appreciate it if people could tell me if the icons all look really dark to you, too, so maybe I can try to think of what to do about it. Thanks.

Chippy requested some icons, and lo, I have created *grin*



The second one I found the picture for on your journal from ages ago, Chippy :) Hope you like them!

I'm running out of things to make icons of and so I wanted to ask if anyone had any requests for icons, or maybe even a banner for your journal (I can show you how to code for it in the style 'Smooth Sailing', at least, though, hmm, that might just be for paid accounts, I don't know...) Anyway, I'm feeling creative but not having things to be creative with is cramping my style a little. So, the offer. Please take me up on it!

Bumblebees keep flying into my house! WHY?!?!

My sister cut off all her hair last night (well, the hairdresser did) and now it is super short. I'm not sure yet whether I like it or not, but it's kind of cute, I think. Elfin. (Weird... but don't tell her I said that!)

I reordered my Photobucket account today so some old icons will have their links broken. However, if you go to www.photobucket.com and log in as _tahariel with the password bananas, you can access the read-only version of my account and look at everything that's up there. Neat, huh?

More icons will be coming soon - they're all uploaded to my photobucket, I just need to link them up here. Also, I am trying to use a different icon all the time in this journal to make it prettyful and to show off because, well, I'm just that kinda gal.

Icons always seem to lose crispness when saved as jpegs, but most places won't take anything else, so I'm going to have to try to fix that on my own. Dammit. Maybe I'll save them as bitmap anyway and make it everyone else's problem. As usual, take what you like as long as you credit :)

16 Lost

How to make from this.

Graphics heavy. I've tried to include all the steps for how to do things, so beginners should be able to follow it. Done in Paintshop Pro 7, but translateable.
