Yay! My hero! This has always been my weak point so this is a huge help :) Thank you!

Aw, thank you for your comment! I'm glad you're finding it useful, and may your forays into the wooing of text tools be met with success!

I know now why it never worked between me and my sweet baboo. I didn't try hard enough! I gave up. Never more though now. I shall treat my text tool with love and care it deserves. :D

Honestly though, this is my issue with text. I fiddle with, spend a bit of time, get frustrated and give it all up because SO FRUSTRATING. And I usually tend to put text on last, and then sharpen the icon. It never occurred to me adjustment layer it and texture it and what not!

This was an awesome guide! VERY fun and helpful. :D

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
That's why I included some of my many and excessive variations because I go through that too. Sometimes you beat your head against a brick text wall for ages before something just clicks. BUT YOU GET THERE IN THE END, I SWEAR. And, I mean, you're already super good at text so... :D

Thank you so much for your comment, lovely! I'm really pleased that you find the guide helpful! ♥

eta: and also, your candy color monstrosity guide is coming up next, promise!

This is not only helpful, but also hugely entertaining. SAM/TEXT TOOL = OTP.

Also, please please tell me there's an icon version of that Megstiel graphic? And where can I reblog it??

absolutelybatty July 27 2013, 01:37:41 UTC

Ahaha, I'm glad! I'm always a little worried my humor will come across badly so it is nice to hear that you enjoyed it instead! :D AN EXCELLENT OTP, THAT ONE. <3

Um. I never made it into an icon; although, I guess I could? Maybe. I'll give it a go anyway. For you. In the meantime, you can reblog it here if you'd like.

geckoholic July 27 2013, 12:34:55 UTC

No no no, your humor is excellent, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. ;D

Ohhh, yes please!! Thank you so much! ♥

I made three variations for you since I wasn't sure what you would like, and also turning Tumblr graphics into icons is weird. o.O ANYWAY. Let me know if these are okay, yeah?
