Sunset Icons

[inkvoices]

I made icons today.  This is a new thing for me...and proof of the lengths I will go to in doing anything but revision.
I read a few tutorials, but any advice from people who actually know how to make pretty icons would be very welcome.  I'm particularly wondering: do people usually upload the images straight onto livejournal or save them on

Image quality shouldn't matter wherever you upload. PNG format is generally preferred, though.

Oh, and I'm not sure what you use, but I've uplaoded a copy of Photoshop CS3 somewhere. Do you want it?

[msmoocow]

I forgot to compliment you on the pretty sunsets. PRETTY!

[inkvoices]

Meh, I don't know what PNG is. Is is like JPEG? A format you save the picture as?

I used Picnik, an online site photo-image thingy that sarahetc mentioned as being fun. Photoshop would definitely be nice!

Heh, I had a phase of photographing sunsets for ages...

[msmoocow]

Yeah, it's like JPEG but higher-quality. It also preserves transparency and such.

I just love these I'm taking 11 13 15 & 18 thankies.

[inkvoices]

11 and 18 are two of my favourites of the batch. :oD
Glad you like them!

I think those icons are beautiful! I may take some later.

What fandoms are included in the crossover?

[inkvoices]

I'm glad you like them! Meh, I love the fact I have huge icon space now, because I have crazy iconlove - I go browsing through icon journals going 'ooo, pretty!' with shiny, glazed eyes lol. Not fun that you don't have much space *hugs*

Oh. My. The crossover is two Harry Potter characters...in a Sandman setting/situation...with a hell of a lot of other characters. *heads desk* It's a free for all, I swear! In the interests of hoping people will actually read and comment, because I doubt everyone will recognise all the fandoms, I'm thinking of saying 'guess the fandoms folks and win a prize'. *grins*

[sugar_fey]

Yeah, not having a lot of icon space is annoying. I see such pretty icons all the time, but if I want them I have to get rid of others...

Heh! Cheers for the multi-fandom crossover love! I've often speculated as to what would happen if certain characters from various fandoms were to meet. Let's think... Zoe Alleyne Washburne meets Nymphadora Tonks. *ponders*

Or Severus Snape meeting Malcolm Reynolds.
