1. What programs do you use to edit your graphics and gifs ?
- Photoshop CS5.
2. How do you make that “paint effect” on your photos ? Can you post a download link ?
- With a plug-in for photoshop called “topaz clean”. I won’t post any links because i really don’t feel comfortable posting these kind of links. But remember, google is your best friend and he’ll help you find your happiness.
3. What fronts do you use in your edits ?
- well most of the time i like to use times new roman. it’s clean and simple.
4. what does your URL mean ?
- You can find your answer just here.
5. Where do you download your textures and PSDs?
- Usually here, here and here and for the PSDs i suggest you this wonderful blog.
6. I follow you, why don’t you follow me ?
- First you have to know that “following” is a big deal for me and therefore it usually takes me some time to do so. It has nothing to do with “quality” or whatever photoshop skills you may have; not at all. We must share common interests because even if i like my dash to be diversified i mostly wanna see things i care about and i really need to be sure that you’re not into these ship-wars thingy because nothing annoys me more than haters. also i like to learn a bit more about the owner of the blog just to be sure that he or she is actually a nice person and not some arrogant and narrow-minded person. This may seem a little crazy but i had some bad experiences in the past and i don’t want to have to go on unfollow springs anymore. now even if i don’t follow you that doesn’t mean that we can’t talk! not at all! my ask box is always open and i’m always happy do discuss different things :)
7. I ship this and you ship that would you still follow me ?
- I have no problem following people with different ships than mines if they are respectful. That being said i’m human and some ships really annoy me but lucky for me tumblr savior is here and if you’re nice enough to tag your posts it won’t be a problem.
8. Could you share your PSDs or make some ?
- The only good reason i’m not really making or sharing my colorings is because they’re really too messy and wouldn’t work on every cap. I also think there are a lot of talented and generous people around here that make wonderful PSDs. I’ll list you some of them here hoping it will help you find something you like. Here, here & here. Now if i can come up with some pretty and workable coloring i’ll be sure to post it :).
9. How do you put two gifs into one ?
- So, i’ve already tried to answer that question a couple of times and i’ve always failed. First thing, you have to know that my Photoshop is all in French and that it’s pretty hard for me to find the right translations to explain things. Otherwise i would have tried to make tutorials or something.
What i can say to help here is that it works the same way it does for graphics. The key is to work with caps that have an important amount of dark/black because that’s what makes it possible to merge the two gifs together. Then, just like you would do while editing a graphic, you have to put the layers of the first part of your gif in “screen” mode. After that the hardest part is over and now you can toy around and erase the spare parts. If you’re really interested in it i can try to make a tutorial.
10. How do you merge two pictures together ?
- First you have to make sure that your two pictures have an important amount of dark/black. Then it’s quite simple; you simply put them into lighten or screen mode and tada!
11. How do you make the flashy effect on your gifs ?
- It’s pretty simple but you have to know that the result will also depends on the number of frames you’re using. So like you’ve probably noticed i use this “flashy effect” in between every new scene/part of my gif. You simply have to select the first frame of every part and put it on “screen mode”. Then of course you can toy around with the opacity and such :) but that’s pretty much all.
