First of all, welcome to this new community!
I can't explain how much this means to me, it's like a new fresh start. For me, a new beginning suggests me motivation and inspiration. And to be honest with you, lately I've been lack of those two things lately.

Anyways, let's move to the point of this entry: Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

What is purple_inthesky?
Is my new graphics community, created by me (luux_lu) for show you everything
I do with the Photoshop CS, which is one of my hobbies.
Before this community, I posted them in other communities, but at this point, I really
need to start over in a new place or maybe is just a bad habbit of mine.

What did you choose this name for the community?
I looked for a name which represents me somehow, and after thinking and thinking
I finally came out with purple_inthesky.
The people who know me, know that if there's something in this world to represents me,
is the purple color. And when I arrive to a new place, the first thing that I do is look at the sky.

What can you find in the community?
I started doing icons, which are my favorite type of artwork, but you can also find banners,
wallpapers or headers as my usual stuff. Besides all that, you can find mood themes, fanmixes,
fanvids or tutorials done by me (written in English and Spanish).

You can also find my own resources. They're mainly screencaps, but also textures, icon bases even PSD's.

What are the rules of this community?
They are very simple:

So please if you take my work or if you like it comment,
because without comments I won't know if my work likes or not.
x Credit my work. You can credit luux_lu or purple_inthesky,
but never claim as your own.

do not customize, unless I say you can in the entry (like some headers).
