layrenelement asked for some "inspirational" Stagate NaNoWriMo icons. Not to sure how inspirational these are....


This NaNoWriMo stuff is way too ambitious for me but way to go everyone who participates!

[29] Stargate Atantis
[3] Joe Flanigan
[3] David Hewlett



I think one of these icons is the best one I ever made that didn't win anything. Any guesses? Also, one was made especially to try to make one person laugh. If you are that person, put your hand up! Yes, of course some Lorne.

( Alright, we came here in peace, we expect to go in one... piece )

I've been away on holiday for a few days to an area of Ontario called Muskoka where my mother grew up. We had hoped that the leaves would have changed a bit more and it was raining most days but we had a lovely time.



I've been trying to keep up with you all as we always travel with the laptop.

Welcome to all my new friends who found me through adopt_me. My life is pretty boring - I mostly post icons!

I am doing this tutorial because my friend diek09 is just learning about making icons and I can't find a good tutorial on layer masks for beginners. This will just cover layer masks - there are lots of other things going on in this icon that I will skim over.
The icon I am using as an example is this one:

from this picture

This is going to be long because I am going to try to carefully explain many techniques to a Photoshop beginner for whom English is not his first language (although he does really, really well!).

( OK - here's how )

Request icons for shygryf, areth_lovejoy, mutant_wolf2, sgangel, jenniferjensen and diek (who should be studying I think!)



I hope you like these. I made two versions of most of the ones with text because I know some people don't like text. If you want exclusives on any of these let me know. Otherwise, I will post broadly in a couple of days :).

( Orders Up!!! )

I am off on Friday (and Monday for Labour Day with a u in Canada) and am feeling generous and creative so I am taking icon requests. Gimme a show or if it is one of my fandoms a character and I will make some icons. If you have a very specific request you are going to have to give me a picture because there is nothing I hate more than trying to find a specific cap. Or at least a site where I can find some good caps.

You may not get your icon right away, depending on the number of requests, but I will work on them over time.

So, what do you want me to make?
