probably mildly illegal: supernatural :: none of this is my probl[info]adibiase on June 29th, 2007 11:56 pm (UTC)
haha foo on you! i spent three hours trying to work out the exact coloring for that dean winchester icon!

i'm torn between elation and throwing my desk lamp.

but wonderful at any rate. i do so enjoy your coloring and tutorials!
Kate: [SPN] Dean Over Shoulder[info]pureskies on June 30th, 2007 02:32 am (UTC)
haahaa! I think my correct response is 'sorry' and 'your welcome' :D :D :D
Thank you!!

Oh and just a note - to make the dean one, the curves layer is too bright so you'll have to alter it quite a bit. Just so you know :D

Theresa[info]foxy105 on August 22nd, 2007 01:21 am (UTC)
Is there anyway you could upload the .psd file again? It's just my icon isn't turning out right...I think I keep going wrong on the first curves layer or something lol.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

(I just used your cap as an example of how it's turning out wrong,I'm not going to steal your icon & claim it's mine,don't worry lol)

Eitherway,thank you so much for taking your time to do this tutorial,I'm a big fan of all your work =]


Theresa[info]foxy105 on August 22nd, 2007 01:26 am (UTC)
