Discovered in the Fairylights - Dec 17 - artwork

For my first offering, I have a little picture. I've recently learned how to colour black and white pics and I'm really happy with how this one turned out. (have a bit of silliness coming up after this!)

Guh, the lads looking their best! Wonderful picture, and lovely colours!

Look at Doyle's left leg! The pose is so ... cute. *lol* And uhm, where's Doyle's left hand? *evil grin*

Thanks very much! Glad you like it.

*g* I reckon Doyle's getting his own back for all the times Bodie has goosed or groped him. *g*

Hey, that's marvellous! Thank you! :D

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Gosh, that was from a black and white picture? How very clever of you! *g* (Although I have to admit that my inner historian is going but... gaaaah... tainting the history of the woooooorld! *g*) But they're pretty. *vbg*

Thank you! (I promise, no historical artifacts were damaged in the pursuit of my artistic endeavours - aka I still have the black and white version too ;) )

Glad you like it!

Very nice!! Every year I keep resolving to do more art learning and somehow it never happens. Well done!!

Thank you! I really love learning how to do new things on photoshop. :D

Wow. That's amazing--it captures shading and different tints. (Clearly, I have not advanced from the really rudimentary tinting done, oh, twenty years ago. *g*) Nicely done! It's fun to see this one in color!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's actually really neat because you just paint over the area you want to colour, set it to overlay or soft light and voila! You just have to remember to make the colour a bit darker than you want the finished look to be because it lightens a bit when you set it to overlay.

I really like that effect, very classy. Well done!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you! It works beautifully. It's great see an iconic pic in a new light (or new colours).

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I prefer colour pics to black and white, so I've been wanting to learn how to do this for a long time. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Hey hon, ist´s lovely to see this again!
Eyecandy for dessert!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! Eye candy is always a welcome dessert, isn't it? *g* (and non-fattening too!)

Oh they do look really good, thank you.

I love it! You have done a great job there.

I wish I could use PhotoShop, but it just confuzzles me. Maybe I'll get time one day to really look into some tutorials.

Thank you. ♥

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Photoshop is confusing when you first start out with it. Tutorials are good, but I have a 'secret weapon'. *g* My very dear beta is a professional graphic artist and she's very good at instructing over email. *g*

[cloudless-9193.livejournal.com]

You've done a very good job here. It looks perfect. Thanks! :-D

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was really pleased with how it turned out. :D

[cornishcat.livejournal.com]

That's a lovely job you've done there and thanks for the tips ... I'll have a go at your tinting techniques.

Oh, aren't our lads just gorgeous!!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I hope you have fun with it.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

You've done a good job with it! I like it! I'd be happy to see more of those! Thank you!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm sure I'll do more, I can't resist having a play with photoshop every now and again. ;D
