If you can make THAT in 10 minutes and it takes me 20-40 minutes to make a "good" set....woah.
My kitteh is puffing herself out so she looks large and fluffeh.  It's really quite amusing. She looks totally shocked. The poor dog is either scared of her or just confused. Poor Buffy.

I have now put up my "good" version, which took... 37 minutes? A lot longer if you count how long it took me to decide what picture to use.
Puffehkitteh! I love that. My cat looks hilarious when he's puffy.

Dang 10 mins!! WHUT, 37 mins, My graphics always seem to take ages to make, but then I'm really piccy over blending, and I always end up heading off to the internet to look at other random things. I'm insanely undecisive at picking fonts and textures as well, which probably doesn't help
Even though I think Pete Doherty is a scummy, druggy trampy man I do love your set Skitteh, the text rocks!
Haha puffy cats xD mine don't really seem to do that, one never seems to get angry or scared, and the other one is reallyrandomly miserable xD

I hate how long it takes me to choose images! I always have the perfect line in my head, and then I have to find good lighted-ish images that blend well together, and the font has to fit, and the colors have to work well....oh, the trouble we face.
Skittehbeeh, your kitteh is fluffeh indeed! (These "ehs" on the ending of all of our words have made my life so, so amazing).  I've never seen my poor Misty so fluffeh and freaked out, but she and Buffy learned to deal with each other. Misty was back to her normal self in a couple of hours, trying to get up on my sister's dresser and climbing the ladder to get on my bunk bed. Hauling her down from it was quite amusing.

I use the same ones over and over again because they're the only decent ones saved on my computer. xD These days I like brushes and pretteh colorings instead.

He is, but he does have talent despite all that. It's a shame, really.  ...Hold on, let me clarify, it's not a shame that he has talent but that he's scummy druggy and trampy. bleh. people. D:

Skitteh- I nearly always go looking for textures, but nearly always using the same ones, most textures I use anyway are there to add finishing touches. I so so so rarely use brushes, I don't know why, I just don't like them very much xD. I'm also rubbish at coming up with something for the text to say, I'm always worried it gonna seem really unrelated so nine times out of ten I go captain obvious and just say what/who is in the graphics
Super HQ images make me so ridiculously happy, especially pictures over 2000px x 2000px xD

I do the same thing.  Or if I'm really at a loss what to write I don't put anything on it at all. xD Sometimes I find a quote or lyrics that I want to use, and even though half the time they don't really fit very well I enjoy it anyways.
I don't think I've ever used a picture that's been 2000x2000.  That's huge. omg.
I'm trying to make a wallpaper right now. It's not working. D:

I use images mainly from an awesome LOST screen cap gallery, and it's pretty bipolar in quality. Sometimes the images are so, so crisp. Other times the colors are muddy and not at all sharp. I feel like different people screen cap their images.
Lembeh, I always use the same textures, too! I can't stand brushes, either. I just have no idea what to so with them.  HQ images are always luscious. Sometimes I find the perfect photoshoot...only to realize that the images are like, 300x500. Ewww.

^ I hate that, and it's usually when it's a rare photoshoot with no duplicates on the web anywhere.
I also hate awesome magazine scans that aren't in web format.  I don't come across that often but when I do the horrible giant pixels make me sad. D:

And the previews of the images always deceive you! They seem all sharp and focused and you get so excited that they're going to be large and clear....and then they're teeny.
Magazine scans (the ones I've found) are impossible to use. They always have the coolest shots, but naturally they're all grainy and obnoxious.

Oh magazines. I wish you were not so obnoxious (looking at you NME cough).
Anyway, since it's almost the end of the month, does anyone have nominations for Hottie of the Month?

I hate trying to work with small pictures. I basically refuse to do it anymore. I just go the "well then I won't make anything with that" route.  I also tend to not use textures or brushes at all anymore. I just do things with colorings. Gradient maps, selective color, fill overlays...it's quite strange actually.

Skitteh: I'm always so unoriginal and can never think of a decent lyric/quote unless its some thing obvious lol I'm sucha text fail xD
Wallpapers are le Best!!! I used to make them so so so so much, now I hardly ever do D: which is silly/
Zomg I love me 2000x2000 + pictures I'm gonna have to link to some JUST to show how bootifuls they are  (my photobucket is gonna HATE me  )
Zachary Quinto at 2339 x 3000 px
Ben Barnes at 2635 x 3511 px
&
Preence Caspian at 3000 x 1108 yeah it s bit smaller than the others but still HUGE
Silvereh: Have you tried Cap it! I swear they have anything there and the stuff under their lost tag is all sorta 1000px and bigger.
I hate small photoshoot images, unless they are really really sharp and HQ, they're still no where near as good as massiveness
& I never use magazine scans, the colour is nearly always bad and they have a sorta texturey look
Hot mans of the month
Matt Smith
aynd Bradley James
