What do I do when I find a photoshoot of SMG I've not seen before? Make banners, of course. It's difficult not to use the same images over and over (I am guilty of this, to an extent) when you can't manip (believe me, I've tried, and the results are not pretty!). Anyway, saw this photoshoot and couldn't resist making something from it. I've also come to realise that I'm rubbish at finding words to put on banners that have no real purpose other than to be something pretty to look at. Took me ages to think of what to put on the first one, and even then I went with something obvious. And the second, well, I was listening to Glory Box by Portishead so I just decided 'what the heck' and stuck some lyrics from that on there. I think I managed to recreate a sort of fake-selective colouring effect on the second banner. I wish PSP had selective colouring, so many great colouring tuts use it... ah well. I was mostly just playing around with different adjustment layers and colouring effects on that one. And I'm gonna stop with the rambling now and just put the banners up Comments = ♥

Thanks, Mush I made this one last night. Turned out quite different to my usual style, but it's okay, I think.

A friend asked me to make her a new LJ banner/layout, so I modified one for her, and here's the banner: In return, she has promised to watch BtVS

Well, the thing about that on is - it's not meant to be Oz It's supposed to be the author's original character - but the text does fit, doesn't it? She's never seen BtVS, so I have no idea if she knows Oz is a werewolf or not. I shall keep trying to convince her to watch it. Yeah, SMG actually looked a little odd in the original photoshoot, but it's the pic the requester wanted on the banner... I'm not sure the colouring I did helped, though! She's got kind of the thousand-mile stare going on... heh. Forgot to add this one, made it for a graphics duel. It literally took me about 15 minutes in all from sourcing the pics to uploading, so I don't know what that says about the quality

Thanks! I've not been posting many graphics lately, as a lot of what I've been making is for seasonal_spuffy . My posting date's not til 25th October, and I really want to post what I've been making (I think they're coming out pretty good lol) but there's still ages to wait XD Anyway, here's a random blend. This is about the... third manip I've ever done (by manip I mean - adding someone's head to someone else's body). So I can see some imperfections in the manipping, but I don't think it came out too bad.

Question: the images blended into the little stamp-like boxes in the background don't really make sense with the primary image, what significance do they have, if there is any? Does this image have a story, in other words?
Oh, and I MUST know where you got those paisley textures!
