I made some NCIS season 3 screencaps for the episodes Deception (313), Bait (318) and Bloodbath (321). You can find the download links in the screencaps post.
I'm sorry I never responded to any of the requests. Sadly, I lost all the caps I already had on my computer but not yet uploaded. However, if you want caps for any specific NCIS (season 1-3) episode, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I'm really sorry it took me so long to post this. I was kind of having trouble finding the right words and I wasn't sure how detailed this should be. A lot of what I do just happens by accident... which makes explaining why I did something so much more difficult. And probably pointless.




So anyway, I'll start with the Fringe icon. The problem with this coloring is that it has quite a lot of steps and most layers create only a rather subtle change. I'll try as good as I can to explain why I did what and how I got to the final result. If you have any questions, please ask :)

Up next is the Supernatural icon. This one has even more layers than the Fringe icon. I'll try to concentrate on the ones that do more than just a minute change in the coloring. Again, ask away if you have any questions!

And some psd files. Click the image to download the psd!
(superfire, I'm sorry I didn't make a tutorial for that Bobby icon. I somehow found myself at a complete loss trying to explain levels. Let me know if there's anything unclear from the psd!)

You can find my help_haiti thread HERE!

I'm offering a set of 20 icons from the following fandoms: Most movies (nothing animated etc.) and the following TV shows: Supernatural, NCIS, Smallville, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Skins, Dark Angel, Angel, Buffy, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, Glory Days, The 4400, Bones, Dexter, Firefly, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, The OC, 90210, Criminal Minds, Vampire Diaries

This is a little tutorial on how to extend the background of an image. I'll try to explain 3 different techniques I use. I tried to explain everything as detailed as possible. If there are any questions left feel free to ask away!
I'll start with what I feel like is the easiest way to extend the background of an image and then get to the more difficult techniques. But this isn't all that hard.
The coloring of the icons is not included. If you're interested I can always upload the psd files for you or write another tutorial. Just let me know :)


extending backgrounds
using the smudge tool
using the rectangular marquee tool
using the clone stamp

( show and tell )

Please let me know if you have any questions, if I messed something up or if any images/links don't work!

Comments are appreciated.

I noticed that the psd files from my tutorials are still being downloaded quite frequently (and I'm bored today) so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a tutorial or psd for any of my icons. I can't guarantee that I still have all the psds for all of my icons, but I usually save them... so feel free to pick any of my icons :)

Also, I came across a post in a forum that hotlinks some of my icons/psd files. Personally, I don't mind because I don't have a traffic limit, but since there are a lot of other icon maker's icons/psd files linked I thought I should mention it here. link to the post. (Does anyone know if there is a community or something where you post this kind of stuff?)

Thank you for your time :D

I decided to make a new resources post since I got a new laptop and decided to delete all the textures etc I had on my old one. My old resources post will remain open, but I'll not update it anymore. You can find the old resources post here.

Also: Sorry for not posting in a while... again. I had an important exam that took priority. Anyway, that's all over now so I can start focusing on the important stuff in life again. Like icons ;D
Also also: I'll rename my journal to shoqolad in a few minutes or so, so don't be confused :D

After coquette gave it a try, I will, too :)
Here's a small batch of some icons I have made the last weeks ago (not much at all D:)
