Icon Tutorial #6 [10 Sep 2006|03:45am] suicide_lollies Here's another colouring tutorial. It's REALLY quick and easy. You may have to change some things depending on what photo you use.

Icon tutorial #5 [09 Aug 2006|06:40pm] suicide_lollies This is a tutorial focusing on coloring which is reallllly popular in iconing nowadays, but it's hard in Gimp because Gimp has different layer modes than Photoshop. Anyways, if it's useful, comment! And if you want me to make more tutorials like this, let me know. I'd love to see your results! P.S. I'm thinking of making the community public... Hmmm.

[07 Apr 2006|02:20pm] suicide_lollies lrita found this: ximba.org/viewarticle/lf/issue044 for those interested in curved text! Don't ask me any questions about it 'cause honestly I haven't read through it, I skimmed across it but I didn't read enough to understand but I assume it should work. Thankyou lrita! :] 1|| comment||&||add to memories

Your Mod. [07 Feb 2006|04:05am] suicide_lollies Wow, 125 members, that was unexpected! Welcome to all of you! Sorry if I haven't welcomed you all personally by comments x.x I'd like to point out that if you haven't scrolled back through entries (which you can 'cause they're arn't many) The memories section has pretty much every update in it and it's easy to sort through. :) I promise to update in a few days with some brushes and maybe a tutorial. What kind of brushes do you want? Obviously, I wont be able to make every brush everyone suggests but I will try! And if any of you have seen a icon that you love (made by someone else and you're not sure how it's made) and want to know how to make it, show me and I MAY be able to help. ^_^ Have a good night kids xx 10|| comment||&||add to memories

Mini Tutorial [09 Jan 2006|01:06am] suicide_lollies ticcyyy was so nice, she wrote this mini tutorial for me and now I have to post it because I love the colouring in this tutorial. Colour tutorial to achieve this look: (Those are ticcyyy's personal icons, so DO NOT take them unless she gives you permission.) First I sharpened the picture at 60%, sized it to 100x100 pixels, sharpened it again at 50%, copied the base two times, set both layers to screen at 100%. Then I copied the base layer again and moved that copied layer to the top and set that to soft light at 100%. I then flattened the image and then went to unsharp mask and fiddled with the intensity of the hue and contrast until it looked sharp enough. I then copied the base and flood filled the layer with pale yellow (#e0d9b1), and set that layer to multiply at 100%. I then copied the base again and flood filled it with dark blue (#081b3d), and set that layer to screen at 100%. And then flattened the image. And there you go! More examples she has are here and here. xD This is my result: 4|| comment||&||add to memories

Resources Post [15 Nov 2005|05:16pm] suicide_lollies So, we all know that GIMP is hard to find brushes and resources for, which sucks. So i'm going to post all the links I use for my graphics needs. This entry will be placed in the memories under 'resources' and if you ever need to find something in this community the memories section has all tutorials and brush packs listed. :) BRUSHES: Deviant Art GIMP Brushes. The BEST place to find GIMP brushes, but it's not updated a hell of alot which is sad. Rhysin Graphics. Has a few GIMP brush packs, but I don't think more get added. Cybia.co.uk. Lots of brushes, but they don't suit icon making that well, never the less, some a good to collect. realm.chriscostus.com. Brushes and tutorials German site with brushes. Some simple brushes. FONTS: Da Font.com. My favourite font site, they have pretty much any font you're looking for. :) PATTERNS/TEXTURES: Squid Fingers.com Lots of patterns slovenly-artist.net. Lots of nice patterns IMAGES: Getty Images.com. Good search, you can find a bunch of different images to make icons out of, and most are free Hope this is helpful 14|| comment||&||add to memories
