I love your sig set Shadowcat! =]

And, in contrast, I have not been making anything on Photoshop. I just do not have the time.

I like that entry smeag! It's really cool. I haven't been doing anything with GIMP, no inspiration and no time

^ Same here. When I realized I had lost all my fonts, I fairly wanted to burn PSP and never make anything again. So I decided to do something I've wanted to do for a long time, and that is to go through every single page on DaFont and get as many fonts as catch my eye. I haven't finished all the pages yet, and already I have a wonderful collection, even better than my previous one. And AU contests were calling me, so I had to start making things again. My new set I just made for the pure pleasure. :-)

You lost all of your fonts. That is horrible!

I am not enjoying when I have to go to college and bring all of my fonts from the computer I am using to my laptop, along with Photoshop. Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun.

It is good that you decided to go out and find some more. The font you use really is crucial.

Ahh.. taxi. That is alright. I am wondering, however, is that Belle in your avvy?

I need to go and stock up on more brushes, fonts, textures ect. I'm on a graphics spurt at the moment :P

Just waiting for the new Dr. Who screencaps to go up.

Does anyone else get this?; When you've made something, then an hour later you look at it and think "What a pile of rubbish!" I seem to be doing that alot lately :confuzzled:

I have had that a lot Loth, but, don't worry. You will make something that a year later you still think is awesome.

Where do you all find brushes and textures, more so textures?

Awww awesome new graphics and sig sets guys! :D

I just made mine last night as a spur of the moment kind of thing. I was randomly browsing through Arweb's massive screen cap gallery and suddenly felt inspired :teehee:

smeagollum, I'd tell you where I get my textures from if only I could remember. I saved a bunch of them ages ago (which I keep on using) and now I can't remember where I got them from. I hear our JF has a nice collection of them on her site though!

That happens to me every single time I make something. I'm probably my own worst critic, haha. I don't think I've ever been completely satisfied with a graphic I've made.

@ smeag - Yeah, we had a virus on our computer and we had to restart windows and for some reason all my fonts went. :-( I've got most of them back though and I've got loads of news ones.

@ Lothiriel - To be perfectly honest (and I'm not being big headed), no. Because I am so so so so so fussy and picky and such a perfectionist, it is very very rarely that I will save my graphic and then look at it, and not like it. Because I make so many changes and everything whilst I make it and I am really fussy, I have to like it when I'm making it, otherwise I'll just stop and let it go.

@ smeag - Well I don't really look for brushes, as it takes a while to load them and everything, and mainly because I don't use them that much (although I could do with some floraly borders).

When it comes to textures, I have to say I mainly use my own, because I know what each one does, and what colours and effects I can expect. I tend to use them for the colours though. I don't really like using complicated textures on graphics, as they always obscure the image or take away from the overall graphic. I use the Butterfly, for textures though quite a lot, as the effects of the B&W ones (especially when you overlay) them, are not too overpowering.

@ Eru - So soft and glowy and.... prettyful... me likes. :D

Aww thank you so much JF :) I think your current sig set is really cool. Very old school classic Hollywood-ish :D

I get my textures(mainly icons texturse though) from LiveJournal communities, they have a large variety, and it's nice to be able to choose from sets and packages. Or try deviantArt, they have LOADS.

I probably should look to DA more, but I'm so lazy, even though I never save textures to my computer, but actually go to the sites. I was a member of LJ, but I could never figure how to use it.

You're welcome JF :)

DA is excellent on all sorts of levels. They have awesome textures and brushes on there. Great stock images too.

I debated with myself, and decided to sign up. Though I'm not sure what I can offer in the way of advice, as I'm really not that good.

*hopes this posts this time*
