Pink Lana Aliens PSD  
Well, I've been asked for a tutorial for the Pink Lana aliens and icons. and well, I'm way too lazy ight now too write a full-blown tutorial on this. And considering I was just playing around, it would be damn hard to retrace my steps.

So I'm putting the photoshop file up for download. Might not work under Version 7.0. I don't know... the adjustmentlayers might not appear.
Anyways, the zip includes 2 files which show how different things can be with the same materials. Same layyers you can blend in to see changes... or blend out.

I hope you will have fun with this.



download zip



And comment if you download.

What do you mean by beforehand...just on the imagelayer?
Yep. That's what I mean. I use adjustment layers but more for contrast and color balance more than for curves.

First of all...guh new icon :) Lovley!!!
Thanks :) Made a whole new set of sga. I never get bored. JF is the most filthy of the filthiest men. I also made one in which they kiss. THEY KISS!! Still not as porny as one could hope, but getting there.

Actually... in a way I do that too..just not n the image but on an extra layer... cos i like the option to switch it off and on and blend it.

And JF totally is filthy..and sexy... and kinda geeky and boyish and guuh. and damn...you have to post that kiss icon..you made me so curious now!!!! *g*

Love the one you are using here as well....

Same here. That's why I always duplicate it first, in case I mess up. Needless to say it's pretty useful. ;)

you have to post that kiss icon..you made me so curious now!!!! *g*
Oh boy. I should have said nothing, because now I'm nervous and you're going to be disappointed... ok, right here (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/115099.html)

PS: I won't post that one for the tut, but in case you're interested... Here curves were used on the bottom layer. Along with color balance. (http://www.filelodge.com/files/room10/242857/sga09_09.psd).

Exactly...layers are from heaven.

and I'm not disappointed at all... I'm awed.... this ias damn sexy. and understated. which I like... it just suggest and gets much more meaningful like that.....

and I downloaded...will check in a min. you want me to screen this?
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:28 pm (UTC)
Nope. You don't have to screen it. I don't care if other people download it. :)

As you'll see this one is pretty simple. Just a few layers. Half of the work cannot be seen in the layers anyway, since it was done on the background layer directly.

ok :)

and actually I can't open it...what version of photoshop are you using?
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:33 pm (UTC)
7.0... :(
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:42 pm (UTC)
I use the same... but it gives me some weird error worning about the file not having an ending or something...

*sniff*

your photoshop doesn't like my photoshop!!!
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:44 pm (UTC)
I just insulted my photoshop for not liking your photoshop. I am the most appalled. It swears it's just a lover's quarrel though.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:50 pm (UTC)
Well.I insulted mine for not opening your pss file..since you know..ti really shouldn't be that picky and moody.

Make up already kids...jeeez.

ps: once you post..you kmow...the next batch... I need to kidnap that icon you are using there.
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:57 pm (UTC)
You can kidnap it right now, you know... it loves you already for it - it just told me: I can't wait to see the pretty sights of Germany, instead of being stuck here with you". Can you believe the ungrateful twit? It eats a leaf of salad once a week btw).
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 09:12 pm (UTC)
Well, I could part with one leaf... I'm sure my bros guinneapigs don't need to be quite that fat!

Actually.. I don't want to make you sad... that would be bad cos then your photoshop would be pissed I kidnapped the icon and never make good icons again and it would be all my fault.

Just think all the hords at blimey_icons. they would so kill me. How about loaning.
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 09:24 pm (UTC)
Loaning is fine too. Omg. It just squeed.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 09:27 pm (UTC)
*squeeeeeee*

And I promise to feed it and love it.

mmm..actually quite cool... we do work in a similar way.... *g*

and another sexy icon....
the one I'm using was inspired by your coloring
*g*
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 08:52 pm (UTC)
The filth. I like the mix of oranges/red and the purple-blue. So nice. Is that one of my scratches brush?
It reminds me I have some work to do. I still have about 80 icons of the Defiant One for sga_100 to make. *g*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 9th, 2006 09:08 pm (UTC)
Well..you inspired me with earthly colors instead of an overabundance of blue and stark and green. I like both...it has appeal, I think.

And come to think of it, yes... that is definately your brush.... on two layers, I think. I erased half of it though.

heee...still 80? but the ep is soo good you will manage. I can totally cheer you on. *tootshorn*
