eddie, will you please help me with some coloring for dawson's creek caps? maybe some older shows? i found some links to caps but i am having a hard time finding a coloring that works as nice as yours do. you have a knack for it.

Sure! Is there anything in particular you are having trouble with? A Levels layer set to Screen is always my go-to! It can do wonders for dark/bland caps.

For coloring I tend to just highlight colors that already exist in the icon, if that makes any sense. What caps are you working with? Maybe I can help more if I use the same ones :D

so id love to try to make some icons from those. i like your warm orangy/pinkish coloring from your older dawson's creek icons.

if you want to make icons of other shows, i found some older show caps on the above site too (like will and grace)

and on this site

I miss that site Creek Caps :( That was a gold mine.

Here is something I came up with. I usually save PSD's of icons that I make to use later, but I couldn't find those old DC ones, but I did try to recreate them:

No problem! I'm actually hoping to cap the first 2 seasons of DC, as they are the only ones I have atm. I can't wait to see your DC icons :D

awesome, because i sent a friend over to your journal for season two icons. she is watching the whole thing for the first time and was wanting a pacey/andie icon. she is using yours now :) im gonna post my new DC ones right now actually.

nip/tuck is the other show that is hard to find caps of. i really have to learn to cap. my DVD rom was not working before and now i have another one so maybe i should try again.
