I rented Trainspotting and Rebecca tonight.

Both are for my film class. I have a tute on Trainspotting tomorrow morning and I was going to watch it tonight but I am, frankly, buggered.

thehush and pinkegogirl - if you want cards, I need your last names as well as your first, y'know.

Last chance to do Green Queen in 7 words according to you for my userinfo.

OMG Lee and James love on Inside Idol for real. Lee was all "*sniffle* you're so awesome *sniffle* you're such a great guy" and James was all "I love you...all you guys...*hug*" and I was all OMGWTFCUTE!
Ahem. Yes.

Ooh, Trainspotting was good. Disturbing, but good. I recommend putting the subtitles on, though... I love Scottish accents with a passion, and even I had problems consistently deciphering the dialogue. But it might be easier for you, since (alas!) growing up as your average sheltered American does not typically leave one with much of an ear for dialect. XD

Anyway, yes, you should watch the movie. I think that was my point. :D

Um, I have a question.

How did you do the white outline around Maggie in the "Hell yeah" Icon?

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I am going to explain this using Photoshop.
Make the base you want first (I always copy-paste three times - a multiply layer, a screen layer, and a soft light layer - and then I desaturate one or mor of those layers.) Flatten it, then Copy-paste the new base. It might be better to have a layer with another colour in between, so you can see what you're doing. Go to "Layers - Add Layer Mask - Reveal All." Use your polygonal lasso tool to trace around the shape or person you want to outline, then fill it in black - the whole background should be the colour of the layer you made between your base and the masked layer.

Then take that mask, copy-paste it below the layer you're currently working on, and use the wand tool to select the white part. Go to "Select - Modify - Expand" and expand it by about 3 pixels. Fill that all in white and you have your outline.

That's a really complicated way of doing it, but it's the best way I've figured out.

complicated, but worth it:)

I would also like to say that when I lived in Japan we had a sign that said "Slow Children" in the basement carpark. I still have a photo of it on my door :D

[natatree.livejournal.com]

Wow, that has got to be one of my most favourite batch of icons you've made! I'm in love with #7!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Wow, thankyou so much! :D

[flamingo-killer.livejournal.com]

Your icons are so good. *jealous*

Dom is just so fucking sexy. Argh. It's almost painful at times.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Aww, thankyou!

Guh, I know. I still reckon that's the most masculine pic of him that exists.
