These Are A Few of My Fanart Resources

This post will be updated frequently.  I'm including some examples when possible because a picture is worth a thousand words.

TEXTURES:
colorfilter - Their big 40 pack of icon textures (download link at Facebook here) is still the one I use most often and I haven't begun to scratch the surface of the hundreds of textures within. Also

Thank you sweetheart! It was fun to pull these together and see that there really are some common elements to my style. (or maybe I have two styles - the light and bright one, and the grungy one *lol*)

Cool!

Thanks! I decided to just put it up and I'll keep adding to it rather than waiting forever to get everything together at once.

I love all these icons! You really make excellent use of your resources!

Thank you! I've had these on my hard drive for over a year and I'm just starting to really dig into them and understand how to best use textures. Teragramm has kindly shared more resources with me.

These textures are just wonderful. Funny, but I never thought about looking for textures on face book. There are so many textures in this zip file, it's going to take me a monthe just to look through them. Thanks for sharing your resources.

BTW - Your icon examples have some of your best work represented. I especially like 1, 3,7, 9, 11 and 14.

I downloaded this pack at least a year ago or more but I'm really just starting to explore it. in fact I've downloaded the file again because I think I had deleted some of its subfolders.

I don't know that I found them on Facebook - but I don't remember where I first saw them. Probably here on LJ? I had no idea what the heck I was doing and barely understood what a texture was. (And then I also got into making my own textures with my own photographs for a while.)

As you can see from my examples I use the starlight ones quite a bit; I think those are in the first "lights" folder (001). I also use the textures in folder 11 quite a bit.

I'll be adding the textures from lookslikerain, etc that you directed me to and other stuff here. I would have added links to my profile as you've done - it looks very concise and easy to access - but I have all my fandom awards there already taking up room.

You are very welcome btw (the least I can do is share, since you've shared so much!) I'm curious to see what textures you end up using.

as you can see from my examples I use the starlight ones quite a bit Actually it is the starlight textures that intrigue me the most (so far). I just love how you used the starlight textures in #9. That icon is so pretty with the soft colors and then the little pop of light.

[red_satin_doll]

I like #9 quite a bit too! I just sent you a PM with links to some sample textures - I used at least three light textures from colorfilter's pack, two or more from folder 002_lights and 1 from 013_lights (the smaller white starlike dots that I also used on 7 the Wiffy hug icon.)

I'm uncertain of something when it comes to photobucket - if I lock a folder as private but not the individual image, can you see the image but nothing else in the folder? I should make you a private folder.
