made to hype myself up for the comic-con. not specatular, but the first attempt at fake-comic look.

Now I'm thinking that I need to make me a shiny new desktop...Wufei would be nice. I miss Wufei (I miss some of the now defunct Wufei shrines, too). Anybody else want a GW desktop?

Do you have any sites with pictures of them? Or any pics you particularly want desktops with? I confess to being jrock-retarded, so I have no idea who either of them are. O.o *is smacked for stupidity*
...I bet at least one of them was probably one of Sevvy's new loves at some point...but, really, though I have no clue about either, I'd love to help.

The top two ones especially are awsome. What effects did you use to bleed things into each other so nicely?

Ohh, I'd love a GW desktop! I've used the screen shot from EW of Deathscythe against a moonlit sky for like two years now, it's about time I changed it.

Is it just me, or am I stalking you lately? :)

Thanks ^_^ It's just good ol' fashioned editing around them...resizing them...playing with masks (and bluring said masks). And then I use overlay or multiply or screen alot, at different opacity settings. It sounds simple...and it pretty much is. I don't have a lot of fancy tricks in my bag ^^

Anybody in particular? Trowa? Heero?

You are! You are! but I enjoy it ^_^ It's a nice change from never seeing you ^_^

Awesome, snagged the Sokka/Suki and the Jack and Dante one as well!

I must know, where did you get your mood theme?

Awesome! I'm glad someone else wanted the Sokka/Suki. ^_^ I love the pair.

I made it. It's not done as you can tell here, but I think it'll always be a WIP as long as new episodes of AtLA are made. One of these days, when all the slots are at least filled, I might offer it up. But I doubt that'll be soon.

I love Sokka and Suki! in the last episode I nearly fainted I was so happy!

You simply must finish that mood theme, it's amazing!

(I'm always glad to find another Sukka aka George fan...we're rare, apparently)
I just adore them and I've been looking forward to Suki's grand return since July! She's one of my favorite girl's to draw and Sokka is without a doubt my favorite character in the show. The Serpent's Pass, with all the Sokka/Suki (and even the Sokka/Toph) moments made me positively giggle with delight! I had no idea we'd get such a treat. I'm so tickled!

Lol. Thanks! I tinker with it once in a while. After these new episodes, I'm sure I'll have a few more things to add, once I get around to it.

(is that Charmed's Piper in your icon? Pretty!)

I love the Serpents Pass! Toph was so funny in that episode! But I think she would go better with Aang and Katara with Zuko!

Yes, that is Piper in my icon! She is my favorite Charmed girl! I'm glad you like it!

Toph always has some good lines (not as good as Sokka's, but nice little snarky things nonetheless). Taang's one of my favorite pairings for Toph and definitely a cute one. She is, admittedly, one of the few girls other than Suki who I would dare to pair with Sokka (and be very happy about it)...so that says something for her from my pov, I think.

There's a Sokka/Suki comm

sokka_suki if you're interested. ^_^ There isn't ever a lot going on, but now with this new stuff to work with, maybe we'll get a bit more. Hopefully. When I finish my new (working on it now) Sokka/Suki desktop, I'll probably post it there. It'll feature caps from the new episode, if you're interested.

Oh awesome, thanks for the comm link!

I just finished an icon, it's a Sokka/Suki one and I think I'll go post it at the comm!
