That's a good idea, I love her as well. Will try and get some of her in in my next batch - thanks for the idea!

And the picspams - well, they'll be here regularly, whenever I can find the time to do them. :)

That's a lovely image, but it's not 770 pixels wide - so your header would feature the image but not over the entire lengths and width. If that's not a problem, then I'll see what I can do! It's a pretty picture so I'm sure I can think of something. :)

Thanks for providing pictures. They are indeed the same ones I used, I have some more as well. I'll get to work on them when I have the time, but as I'm sure it is with you as well, the end of the year brings lots of festivities, so it may be a little while. ;)

Thanks! I'm glad you've found something to your liking. And yes, Merlin is very much in my interest, but I haven't done much with it. It's a new fandom for me and I need to find out what sort of colouring works etc. But keep an eye out, I definitely be making at least a few wallpapers in the near future. :)

Hi! I was taking a look at one tutorial you posted on good_tutorial and there you said you always bring up the color of the cap with one selective color layer. Would you mind telling how you do that? Thank you in advance.

Here is the link to the tutorial: http://good-tutorial.livejournal.com/8829.html#cutid1

Hello! No, I wouldn't mind telling you that at all. Selective Colour layers are great because they don't necessarily alter the entire colour scheme of an icon, but you can decide which colours to bring out and which to leave as they are.

I explain how I work with them here, but if you want some extra information, don't hesitate to comment again. :)

Depending on what programme you are using (I use Photoshop so I can only speak for that programme) and what version you are using, you can also bring out the colours already present in an image by creating a Vibrance layer, that works really well. Some makers also work with the Hue/Saturation options or Hue/Saturation layers, but that's a bit heavy for my taste.

Hope that was helpful! :)

Yes, it was very helpful. Thank you! :)
