Rach's First Gallery

[Kim]

Awwwwww! I love them. I like the textures you used, and that song really is them. Great job Rach!

[~*Cathy*~]

Well, I like it, but don't love it. :/ Sorry! The pics in the background are great, BUT the color and then the heart/butterfly brushes are just too overpowering. It really takes away from the pics of them.

They're beautiful, don't get me wrong. I just like to be able to see pics a little more than we can on these.

[lilsmiles]

Thank you for the comments ladies! And no need to apologize Cat, after staring at them long enough, I get what you mean... It's really washed-out... I knew there was something wrong... Thanks for pinpointing it for me!

So with that said, here's version 2.0! On the whole, I'm a lot happier with these.



Edit: I need to stop staring at my walls, I'm getting graphics remorse already...

[~*Cathy*~]

OMG Rach, I love that! That fixed it completely! LOL I'm glad you understood what I was saying, and I'm glad I could help then. LOL They're beautiful!

[Kim]

I really loved the other ones, but I gotta say, these are SO much better. Great job kiddo!

[MHB15]

Totally love them, Rach.

I can see the pictures on the background better after you fixed them

[lilsmiles]

A little constructive criticism really helps! Thanks again Cat!

I'll be out most of today so expect some stuff later tonight. I'm going back to banner making. Happy, banner making. I want to be in a good mood ;D

[Terra]

Ohhh Yeah I love love this new walls... and I am too glad you took Cat's suggestion cause I can see the pics and they are sooo pretty... I love the swirlies.... Yay go make more WALLS!!!

[lilsmiles]

Okay, since Terra was so insistent I made another wall. Let's just say I'm a masochist because I couldn't decide how I wanted this one to look and I changed my mind about a dozen times.

This is what I ended up with. So, I hope you guys like it. I'm still not so sure about it. It doesn't help that I've been kind of hard on myself lately. But, I can't seem to pull my graphics together.



Lyrics creds: Gravity - Sara Bareilles. It is a beautiful song!

[Kim]

It's pretty, but the text is sorta hard to see....maybe dropshadowing it would help make it stand out a little bit more? I like the pics you used though...

[~*Cathy*~]

Very pretty Rach. I like it a lot!

I don't have much of a problem with seeing the text, it looks pretty good to me. Course, could be the difference in our monitor settings... not sure.

The pictures on the sides have a little too much of that washed out quality, that I mentioned in the last wall. Sorry, I have this thing (OCD) that makes things like that really bother me. (It's a real pain.) I like for the dark shades to still be clearly defined, so that's the only thing that's bothering me. (which, since it's not MY work doesn't matter lol) Other than that, the piece is beautiful. I love the text you put on it, and the pics are great!

Can't wait to see the next one.

[lilsmiles]

Thanks ladies!

And Cat, although this is going to sound super childish, that really sucks!

I made a version two of it. It still has a washout factor in it so Cat if it hurts your eyes you don't have to look at it.

I did make a pink banner for you But if anyone has clearer caps to send my way that would be great b/c the pics I have are blurry.

[~*Cathy*~]

Okaaaaay... I won't look at it... and I'll keep my comments to myself from now on. Sorry to have offended you.

[lilsmiles]

No, no, you didn't offend me... Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as that way I really do appreciate your comments Cat, it helps me with my work.

I meant that it sucks that you aren't able to look at certain colours.

Sorry for the miscommunication.

[Kim]

Rach, as soon as I get home, I'll get some caps to you, I have a whole cd full of SPD. Miscommunication = BAD, but it's okay, we're all tough enough to handle constructive comments ^__--

[~*Cathy*~]

Ah, you misunderstood what I meant about my OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). It basically means I'm a perfectionist about stuff, and one of my 'ticks' is visually related. I'm a pain around the house some times, cause stuff has to be just so, and if it's off, it bugs me. That's one of the reason's I'm so critical of my own graphics, and Terra (or Kim) have to just say "shut up, it's perfect" or I would never get any done. It's not that the colors hurt my eyes, but they bug me. (another one of my ticks is rambling on when I explain something, and being too specific about stuff *rolls eyes*) So, when you made the comment about me not having to look at it, I thought you were mad, instead of just trying to spare my eyes.

Anyway... enough of that. Love the new version! LOL

As for caps.... I've got tons of them as well, so if you let me know which kind of pics you're needing, I can send them to you. I have the DVD's so I can make any caps from the first 25 eps (thru Reflection 2) and then Wormhole for you. And I have the rest of the season downloaded, and some of them are really good quality, so I can cap those as well. You just let me and Kim know what kind of pics you need, and we're on it.

[lilsmiles]

Oooh, okay, that clears everything up. Well, you learn something new everyday. I'm glad that's all sorted out.

As for screen caps: Reflections (Part II), Badge, Insomnia, and Endings (Parts I and II). Syd/Sky centric mainly

There's no rush on them, so whenever is fine. Thanks!

[Kim]

Badge, Insomnia and Endings aren't on DVD in the US, so we have no way of getting those. Reflections, however, we've got a crap load of pics from. I'll go through and pic my favorites for ya.

[~*Cathy*~]

Well, I may not have those eps on DVD, but I'll see if I can't make some decent caps from the downloads I have of them and get them to you Rach. I just got home and it's late, so it will be tomorrow before I do anything. I'll let you know as soon as I can, how it's going.

[lilsmiles]

Thanks! And take your time!

So I'm semi depressed as the summer semester begins tomorrow... To counteract said tragedy I made a bright and cheery Skyd banner!

[~*Cathy*~]

Awww, it's beautiful! I'm loving that font too, what is it? It's great!

And I'm afraid I have some bad news.... the episodes I have, all have those stupid little scrolling things on the bottom of them, so I'm not going to be able to get very many good caps of them for you (if any). I may be able to pull off a few, but those stupid things pop up at the most unopportune moments, plus there's the stupid little JETIX logo on them... grrrr, why do they have to put those damn logo's on the TV shows now? Better question is why Disney can't just release the whole damn season on DVD, instead of only the first 25 eps of them... *kicks Disney* stupid Disney.

Anyway, I'll try, but it's not looking good.

[lilsmiles]

Thanks The font is called Mutlu and can be downloaded here: www.dafont.com/mutlu-ornamental.font

And don't worry about the caps, Cat... *kicks Disney a few times for good measure* ;D

[Terra]

The last Cheerful banner is gorgeous hun... I love it the font is great as well.... all swirly. lol

And for the last wall you made to versions I like the last one best where the pics are a bit darker so you can see them. And the text you used is just great hun... never heard the song...gonna have to go have a listen. And the banner you have on with that wall is cute as hell. Love the little hearts you have in each saying... it gives it that little extra something.

Great JOB!!

[Kim]

Love the banner. As far as caps, I have downloads that might not have those Jetix thingies on them, but I'd have to go see. Sorry I haven't been around much this weekend, and I know i promised you caps, I will get them to you. Been sick and had work and school. But the banner, very pretty.

[lilsmiles]

It's no biggie, Kim, you just concentrate on getting better. Caps can wait

[lilsmiles]

More Skyd goodness!!!! I'm on a banner making spree today!

[~*Cathy*~]

LOL Banner making spree huh? Works for me! LOL

It's great hun! Love the colors, and the text/font is great (as usual). Great job!

[Kim]

I love the looks on their faces!and the colors are pretty too!

[lilsmiles]

Glad you guys like ;D I was having fun working out textures.

Okay so I'm going back to my angsty comfort zone for this next one... I was semi-inspired by that Sky fic Cat recommended and I thought I'd flip the situation around.



Lyrics creds: Hello Lonely - Theory of a Deadman.... Incendentally, I'm going to their concert in a month's time

[MHB15]

OMG! That's so sad!

It's so pretty too Rach!

Great Job
