I'm not checking the e-mail, the one I used to make this vox, to know when someone's adding me or not. So, yes, another comment to be added post.
I only have to warn you that I'm not an Arashi fan.

Stamps ; (by me)

I made a design from the Arashi wallpaper for several reasons. But I decided not to continue it for now since I'm going to work on another project.
So, the question is, is anyone interested to have the Arashi design for his/her forum? It's preferably used for a forum hosted by formmotion.
It's not done but I can finish the main buttons and swoop it to you.

I'll personalize the header (which is actually a background header but let's leave this as detail) as well. Blablah?

Anyone? Anyone? No? *shrugs*

xD

I was going through LJ and seen that one pic of Arashi of the Everything song (? am right? xD)
Never heard the song, never seen the pv... But man! what a hip sway Jun has on that one picture! Can it be more swaying? (Does he wants to learn Hyde-sama's hip sway? XD)
Anyway, could not resist:

It's not very creative, and I took the first paragraph that looked alright to me. >_>

The textures are made by myself. =p

And here the Mao icons I've posted on LSS and my LJ a while ago.

Here ya go :D

Picture credit... Somewhere in the vast world of Google ><
Texture & Brush credit: crazykira... and the others I really don't remember, if you recognize the goods, tell me. XD

Scratch texture: 1 & 2

Done spamming your neighborhood. Done with PS; feel free to grab.

These are only for PS7 or higher.

From {this} to

1-Crop, clean you base etc.
2-Duplicate you base set on soft light with an opacity of 100%
3-Selective coloring layer
Reds: -23, 17, -12, 0
Yellows: 11, 30, 15, 0
Neutrals: 38, -15, -48, 0
4-New layer which you flood with #e5e7b6. Set it on multiply (opacity 100%)
5-New layer which you flood with #d9fffc. Set it on Color burn with an opacity of 40%

We're going from this to

• Duplicate the layer twice (crtl+j)
  
• Set the first copy (the one in the middle, on screen 60%
  
• Set the second copy (the one on the top), on soft light 60%
  
• Selective Coloring layer:
  Reds: 100, 100, 22, -25
  Yellows: 54, 17, 85, -56
  Magentas: 100, 100, 0, 100
  Whites: 100, 45, 0, 0
  Neutrals: 100, 27, -28, -7

From {this} to

1-Crop you image into an icon, sharpen etc.
2- New layer which you flood with #fffcde, set it on multiply
3-Duplicate you base, drag it to the top, set it on soft light, 60% of opacity.
4-New Layer which you flood with #22204f, set it on exclusion with an opacity of 40%
5-New layer, which you flood with #e0deff, set it on color burn with an opacity of 50%
6-New layer, which you flood with #e6c4d8, set it on color burn, with an opacity of 30%
7- New layer, which you flood with #e4e6c4, set it on linear burn, with an opacity of 40%
8-For the text, the font is Bell Gothic std, on crisp
9-Set this lens flare: (made by me) on screen 100% and move it on the text.

And you're finally done!

Since I'm deleting BG, I'd like to dump my tuts here. Someone might think it's useful here on vox. Who knows.

You can find that small window, mostly on your right, the bottom. If not, just hit F7 or go to windows and select layers.

So what are those layers for?
Well compare with a program without this function, for example paint. there you have one big canvas. If you make a mistake you have to hit crtl+z to go a step backwards each time for instance. So if I don't like the background color I chose, I just have to restart from scratch. (Compare also with a painter and his canvas).

What's practical about Photoshop, is that you can avoid the 'starting from scratch again because this or that element isn't great'.

On that window, you can find the following icon: If you hit on it, you create a new layer.
If you hit on: , you delete the selected layer.

Those layers are like transparent sheets which are stapled on each other (and the result can be seen on your canvas).
For example, if I place a picture on the first layer starting from the bottom, the second one a brush and the one after it a texture. If I don't like the brush, I can simply delete the layer with the brush on it without removing the texture first. I can also drag the layer with the brush above the one with the texture.
So by deleting or replacing the order of the layers, I can define to my liking how my creation must look like. ^^

I'm being VERY (and even too much) generous today with people. 8D So, I'm spreading it also on vox (because sharing is the word of the day =D)
So, here we go, Hyde wallpaper based on a design made for CFG and Thèmes pour Forum.

Hope someone will enjoy the wallie. I made few icons of Hyde, but I'll keep that for another update since there's no much interest in him (Why am I even making wallies? Because it's to perk me up by treating myself on Hyde-goodness XD). If you still want to view them, they are @ my LJ. =)

I'm browsing through the folder of Jun in my lappie (before Hyde I was Jun-baited xD) and I have like all those scans decaying in its corner because of the classic "they-might-be-useful-for-something" excuse. I found also a few Moatsujun pictures and decided to make them useful as well :D. For the Mao pic that's recent, found on boys_paper (like all the other scans I use for graphics). I really love that picture <3

Well, hope someone will use it some day xD Or at least enjoy them. (Boy I feel like making loads of icons lately, but I feel also tired and lazy 8D) Comments would be nice, credit isn't needed at all. (Please don't alter them, it's not because they're not decorated that they're bases >.>).
Okay, gotta make some more :D
