So where do you get your textures at if you mind telling us. They look so nice and it'll be also good if you provide a typography tutorial on how you do your text. It's only because it's my weakness and I kind of want to fix it.

Well, there's a lot of experimentation involved with my text, but I usually do the same things in terms of what fonts I use and how I do them. It's best to have compressed and leveled text, which is why I tend to keep my text in either all lowercase or uppercase.

That's basically it. It's extremely simple. The only issue would be abusing text placement, but basically, if you're cramming things onto an image, then obviously it's a bad idea to have text.

As for textures, they're just popular ones on LiveJournal. ohfreckle, innocent-lexys, colorfilter, urbanstrokes, ewanism, 77words. Those are just off the top of my head, but there's more.

Ooh, those are really nice Warfare. I just love the new Kitty one for some reason...makes me think I'll suck at this for the rest of my life (I'm already twelve)-_-"

Anyway, I got some new images.

And that's Dugong, not Dewgong. It's for a science project. Oh, and I know the light source is crappy, but my PSE is going crazy on me. >.<

This one was random:

Thats really convenient for me and it'll be a big help for me when I use it for my artclass because we're using Photoshop (a lot) in the class. My teacher is a total nazi when it comes to typography. x_x Again, it helps so much.

Lol, that's one of the main reasons I closed down my art shops (other than me being busy). People would always ask for signature with sentences of text in there and it would bug the crap out of me. Thanks for the tutorial though, it'll definitely come in handy since text has always been a weakness of mine.

The first one needs a lot of work, although assuming you did it with a mouse that's pretty good. The main piece of advice I would give you is to spend more time on it. Look up some images of dugongs and try to copy them (not trace them). You could try adding some pattern overlays on the background to give it some variation rather than adding in some simple brush strokes like you did.

The second one has too much going on. I would get rid of that picture in the background and just smudge the original picture of Igglybuff for a picture, or find a stock to use. And the butterfly is kind of random. The text is pretty good though, just a little fancy for my liking but the placement is good.

Haha, I didn't trace it, but I did find a few dugong images to base it on. I didn't want to take away from the picture, because it is for a science project and I won't want to put any overlays or stuff over it because the whole project is about pictures, and we get a mark based on accuracy, etc. So I can't really add anything.

The second one, the butterfly was just so to balance out the whole picture. But I agree that blurring it will help.

Warfare, I don't really understand any of that, but I'm sue someone else will. -.-"

I was bored; got an idea off of rant.

I find it amazing how people misuse dark blue exclusion layers, but it's so simple when you know which colors balance out each other. And it's pretty obvious that contrast gets sucked out from the image when you apply an exclusion layer, so that needs to be fixed as well.

The thing is that I never use it anymore, but I decided to try it once again and just play around with a slighty-vintage, yet bold and bright coloring.

you know.

I'm doing a lot of photography. So I did it on a perfume bottle and also, it's the one that I use. It smells fantastic, sweet, gentle vanilla smell that is so mild and warm. ♥ I took 9 pictures of it. I used some props for it, pearl necklace and a real cashmere sweater that I own because it just fits. ^_^ So any comments? I appreciate it. NOTE: the last one was just a tissue. :x lol

Don't steal, btw. >_>!

I like the second one the best. What I learned from photography, when shooting images like that laying down not up right its best to get it from a stright on angle, not from odd corners and such. The second one really shows this because the perfume bottle is in compleate focus.

One of my fish died, and I'm planning to make a banner in memory of it. It was one of my favorite ones, its name was Blurf.

:) Thank you. Yeah I do like it but it's not what I'll be using for my artclass. My teacher picked one of them for me to work with and so far it looks real nice and it makes me... happy. :D

Angelic War. It's a really pretty font, and some must-haves are the vistor font for userbars (though I never do that nowadays), Never Let Go is a nice handwriting font and Just Me Again Down Here is a sort of neat printed font. Alo, you should probably ask Warfare.
