Gradients, hijacked from where I originally posted it at
icon_tutorial, because I can hijack my own posts. I can. ;_;
Hey, I've been using a lot of these gradients lately, so I figured I'd share them. I've also got examples, using this lovely pic of Ralph Fiennes in the 1992 production of Wuthering Heights:
Okay, onto the gradients! The examples are blended on Hard Light mode (in PSP7) unless otherwise noted. They're also blended at 100% opacity. Usually I would actually blend them at 50-80%. Especially the green one, which looks like pond scum at 100%. :3

^ This one's blended on Screen mode, 100%. It looked manky on Hard Light mode.

If you use these gradients in an icon, I don't expect credit (although, of course, I wouldn't say no...), but a link somewhere to my webpage (
ellipsis.strangefates.org) or LJ would be nice. Heck, that would be nice anyway, lol. If you use one of them in an icon tutorial, then a credit when you use it would be appreciated.
