well, three of you gave me the go ahead, and no one mentioned being scared off by textures, so i'm going ahead and posting them. ^^ but to make things interesting for those of you watching this comm solely for the icons, i've whipped up a few sample icons to accompany each of the sets. while i'm only posting three previews of each, i'll be posting ( Read more... )

resources, textures

If I had any idae how to use a texture, I totally woul duse yours.

hocus December 15 2006, 17:21:04 UTC

aww, thanks. ^^ i'd be more than happy to show you, though, lol. X3

Really? yay~ If you could link me to some 'tutorials for people who suck at photoshop' or tell me or something, that would be great ^_^

there's icon_tutorial for, well, just about everything. checking the memories would be your best bet, since the actual comm is bogged down with like 20 of each tutorial, lol. (there's a section for beginners here.) but if there's something in specific you'd like to know, like texture-usage for example, i wouldn't mind whipping up a tutorial for you. ^^ i've been wanting to do a tutorial or two anyway, so i really wouldn't mind.

That's a really great place to start, thanks a lot ^_^

hocus December 15 2006, 19:47:01 UTC

no problem. ^^

*fiddles for an hour* I have no idea what I'm doing XD

lol, that's okay; it took me forever to figure out what i know now in PSP, and i still don't even know how to use half the tools, lol. hrmm, it'd probably help to start with one thing and work your way up (that's what i did; i just worked backwards. XD) how familiar are you with layers and blend modes?

demi_fiend December 16 2006, 21:42:17 UTC

Not familiar at all! I should read more :'D I looked at some of the guides in icon_tutorials, but not all of them are for the program I use, so the commands just confuse me.

hocus December 16 2006, 22:35:52 UTC

you use Photoshop, right? if they're using PSP, it should be mostly translatable (i use PSP, but i'm usually able to figure out most PS tutorials, unless it's something really complicated, lol.)

ah, poo. i had found a good tutorial on blending like five minutes ago and now i'm not seeing it. but i found this, which has a brief explanation of what blend modes do in the comments. i'd suggest cropping an image, making a few duplicate layers of it (there should be a button or command somewhere that says "duplicate layer," in PSP it's right above the layer preview box.) and then changing the blend modes to see how they work. though i think it'd be easier to figure out what i was talking about with visual aides, lol. *not articulate at all ( ... )
