Banners:

I remeber doing this at school, and i think it's just super boring with the same picture, boring font and like no colouring whatsoever. BLAH

Icons:

Ugh. Horrible colouring, you can't see Juliet at all. I don't know what i was thinking

Favorite icon texture wise?

I love this icon and went nuts when PS decided to tilt on me, so all i could do was screencap the icon and not be able to finish it perfetcly

Favorite icon text wise?

I don't use much text in my icons cause text's my weak spot..

-----

Who inspires you?

All the tealented people on this board, Jessie, Anne, Rella and Courtz to name a fev

Awesome Stargate/Sanctuary fans on LJ (SPECIALLY talkofcake, quolie queen, mosaiclife and nextuesday) And Amanda Tapping. Man she's such a gorgeous woman, if i only so much see a pic of her i want to icon it

By the way, i'm up for some requests, anything but animation is fine

I really feel like i need some inspiration, but don't expect anything too fancy as a result

Great answers and icons, Kate

What are some of your favorite fonts to use on your artwork?

**- Tina -** · 11-05-2009, 07:12 AM

Nice icons, Kate. I really love the effect of the last one you did.

What thread here benefits you?

**- Tina -** · 11-16-2009, 08:05 AM

I think you may have forgotten this thread, Kate, but nevertheless, it was nice to have you in the Spotlight, again!

Thanks for volunteering to join us, Ria! Enjoy!

I'm excited to be here

What's your favorite artwork you've done? It's a way tie ok?

Between these two wallpapers:

I mostly just love how the coloring came out on both of them.

And this FO banner:

I've been using this on my LJ for as long as I can remember. I just love how it turned out, most of the time I make something, and then five minutes later I'm back editing it and changing things around, but this one I thought came out perfectly as I wanted, and haven't changed it yet.

Your least?

What was I thinking?

Way too many brushes, and the fonts don't even match.

Favorite icon texture wise?

Favorite icon text wise?

I realized that I'm horrible at putting text on, I barely use textures, and I actually don't like the majority of my icons

**Burning Up A Sun** · 11-16-2009, 09:21 PM

I had to come here and ask Ria some questions.

What got you started in making art?
Do you prefer to make wallpapers, headers, or icons?
What was the first art that you did?
Have you ever done manips?
Do you take requests?

Pickle-weasel! · 11-16-2009, 10:05 PM

What got you started in making art? The board I used to post on a long time ago, they used to hold these art competitions and I always saw people with these really cool arts, and my computer came with some kind of PSP trial, so I did that, and then downloaded a trial of PSP X, before asking for the full product for Christmas. I wanted to make stuff like everyone else because often times I can't find exactly what it is I want an an art, so I make my own.
Do you prefer to make wallpapers, headers, or icons?I like making wallpapers the most. I like using more then one picture and I find it easier to make them because they're so much bigger you have more room to work. Plus you get to use cool fonts and I suck at putting fonts on icons.
What was the first art that you did?

I couldn't figure out how to turn off outlines on the text or to fill the middle, so that's what happened.
Have you ever done manips?I have made I believe 5. 2 I don't know where they are, and then these two suck:

But this one I'm actually quite proud of

Do you take requests?

Yes, I usually do. I like requests because it means that someone is actually going to use the art, it gets me to have to actually complete it and have an idea. I can take them now, but I'm not promising when they'll be finished. I could get inspired this week or it could be put off for a month because of school

That's why I make some of the arts I do.

Aw Eric and Donna.

I hate doing text... I don't like using the text from PS... I just copy it from Word.

I'm the exact opposite... I would rather do icons. I don't know what to do with all the room in wallpapers.

That last manip looks real.

Hm... I might have to think of some requests.

Okay more questions:
Have you done arts of couples/shows/characters you don't like?
From your top couples; what are your favorite arts that you've done of them?
Favorite texture to use?
Favorite font?
Favorite color to use; blue, red, green, etc?

great answers, Ria - I love your coloring. And great questions Ashley.

Hmm I understand. Sometimes the icons just won't fit. You twist and turn and there is just not enough room for all the things you want. That can be annoying but on the other hand you have to get creative to get it all in there

What inspires you?
What is some of your favourit artworks made by Fanforumers?

**- Tina -** · 11-17-2009, 06:56 AM

Great questions Anne and Ash!

Great artworks, Ria!

The last manip looks real!!!

Is there a certain way you do things to your artwork?
How long have you've been making arts?
