^No worries, I tried my hand at it again and after last year, everything sucks. So no colourizations from me this year. Or touch ups, I just don't do that stuff....

I haven't really been interested in the daily challenges... The first one was way too difficult for me to try using GIMP, after many failed attempts I just gave up. I forget what yesterdays was, but I might do something for todays.

Lovely work so far everyone! The range and scope of subject matter is brilliant. Keep up the great work everyone!

I officially hate time differences There's tonnes of new stuff up already
Anyways
Thankies Nurr

& I shall try to do some commenting properly today, but I get distracted enough updating my graphics, by the new stuff, so it may have to wait til the end of the day


I actually adore your one & it is currently my wallpaper Anything with guitars/rock in it automatically wins me over and it's awesome

^ Time differences are annoying. Curious, is anyone else in GMT +10? (Aus/Asia?)



It's probably just cramping from over-use. Try massaging it for a while.

And thanks, Nurr. Tennant is the best. I'm so sad to see him leaving DW.

Haha, I turned the computer off and on again. That helped.



And now I think I need to go find screencaps for the Children of Earth trailer.

Good, I won't be the only one. I like stretching myself creatively, but I'm just plain not good at some things...


Enno, that is so cool that you're using my wallpaper! That makes me so happy inside!


I just got an influx of like three or four commissions for different websites and also friends. We're allowed to post stuff we make as commissions as part of the cook off, right?

Some praise for everyone:

Pandora: I'm loving the sparkling avatar, I've always enjoyed the little motes of light on avatars. And your knight blend makes me very happy indeed.

Shadowcat: The Dr. Who banners are to die for, he's just so adorable! I love the sort of foggy/misty thing you've got going on with your graphics, it's very cool. And the plane wallpaper is wonderfully simple.

Nurr: I have a feeling you like this Zachary guy... but I dunno... I'll have to wait and see. The blend with his face transposed onto his shirt is brilliant! I'd never be able to manage something like that so I have to stare in awe at your mad skills.

AF: Your Wallpaper with the breaking of the Evenstar pendant is WONDERFUL. [I like it so much that I originally spelled wonderful wrong]. I love the composition of it, with the shattered glass and Aragorn [who is incredibly attractive], and it's just awesome.

Aliana: Um hi, your bookmarks are amazing. And you have the most amazing graphics that use stock photos. I don't know where you find all of this stuff, but you really know how to use it and make it look really good.

smeagollum: I LOVE THE DOC. OC BLEND. Holy smokes, it makes me so happy! I don't think that the Spiderman villians get enough love, and here is an amazing Doc. Oc graphic that I shall steal and love forever and ever. [I really like it, just in case you didn't catch my drift]

Caun: I've always loved the very airy and light graphics that you do, especially with the female actors/singers/etc. it makes them look amazing. Your Alizee blend is to die for, plus she has an amazing smile.

Celebwen: I love your Frodo blend, it has an almost old photograph look to it (rounded edges, that kind of thing), and the dots and the brush effects are amazing. I've never been able to get the hang of those kind of things so I stand in awe.

Enno: Where ever did you find the textures with the brushes of light on them [used for your Twilight ones], you must send me the link because they look amazing! The Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum banner made me giggle a lot, it's great!

SilverRose: I love your LotR avatars, the Eomer and Minas Tirith ones are my favorite. And your Pepper Potts banner just made me squee hard core and I had to run to get Iron Man so I can do some Iron Man Graphics. [Plus your my poster buddy! Your post is the one in front of me! ]

Finnyboy: I already said how hard your Phelps avatar made me laugh. Can't wait to see what else you can come up with.

Meganelf: The animal avatars are TO DIE FOR. The otter one is just so darn cute!! And I love the poison dart frog one.

Telpeath: The Harry Potter wallpaper is one of the best HP wallpapers I've seen in a very long time. That totally made me want to go watch all of the movies again...


Esteleth: If you're not careful you're going to have a fan girl on your hands. Your Eucatastrope blend makes me smile so much. If I could I would give it and you a very large hug. I saw it last night and I started crying a little, those silly happy tears where you're smiling and you look like a big idiot.

JF: I love love love the bookmarks mumsies, and the cowboy blend is also amazing. And of course you're showing off your amazing retouch abilities that make the rest of us [or at least me] very jealous.

Thank you so much Darky! Feel free to steal it, if you like. Spiderman is going to be my default this year.

Thanks Darky!

Well I figured out why Photoshop was wonky for me--it wasn't Photoshop.
The right click button on my mouse died. =/
So I might be kind of slow for a while...except with avatars, cause I think I can get away with using print screen to get pictures for those.

-ETA-

Problem fixed! We yanked out the mouse for my mom's laptop that doesn't work anymore. Now I'm off to make all the graphics that I couldn't make yesterday...

-ETA part deux-

I has question now. Can you include banners you've made for contests in the cookoff?

So, I'm feeling much better about myself and my amount of graphics right now. Sure, I have less than just about everyone, but I really believe this is helping me so much. I'm trying out little things, and so far everything looks relatively different while still holding to my style. I admit, I have absolutely no chance of winning, but this is my first cookoff and I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can!

I just involuntarily made 3 A/E banners. I guess that's what I get for listening to Trading Yesterday.

Nurr- As you can tell, I just watched Pride and Prejudice. I love that movie! I've been having fun experimenting with blends, and I'm glad they're working out!

Darky- Yay Iron Man! I have an insane love for that movie, Tony Stark (GUH!!), and Pepper Potts. I have a great screencap site for that movie that's in my credits list. Poster buddies forever!

Gah, sorry I'm so late posting the Daily Challenge guys, I had to work and forgot to send Smeag the stuff. I'll give you guys the full 24 hours, still.

I ran out of time. Stupid school ruins everything.

And thanks Darky!

@ Everyone- Wow. The amount of stuff people are coming up with is breaking mozilla! I have no idea how anyone makes so many blends so fast without compromising quality. Larger graphics kill me. I end up spending hours on one.

JF, I had everything ready to make it.... then I had to do something. So, you are the only one.
