Inside His Head  
I'm so fanart rusty. I figured it was about time. The idea was originally for [livejournal.com profile] 12months. Sort of, a "what is in John's head, using his hair and typography as extension. Not quite how I wanted it to be, but close. Like I said, I'm rusty.

That's so cool! You might consider yourself rusty, but your work's still some of the most original and interesting in fandom.

I'm my worst critic, I think. *g*
But I'm glad... just imagine always being happy with what you create. you'd never get better.

and thank you. It just looked much cooler in my head.

Nah, it be perfect. :) Although, if you're like me, you could keep twiddling with your graphics and never really feel finished with them. *g*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 08:42 am (UTC)
lol...I'm too lazy to do that... although with manips it's easier.. because it is far less about what you think looks good.

But I know what you mean.

Hmmm. Maybe that's my problem. :) What else is involed other than what you think looks good?
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 04:07 pm (UTC)
lol.. I meant that with manipping, you create what you really see. Like, the body is like this. sometimes a body is too burlyy for the character for instance. The shadows are wrong. The head is too big. Such things everyone can see.

With collages that are abstract, it is soleley a matter of taste. A have a friend who hates my stuff. It just isn't her cup of tea. she likes these boring earth toned blends that were done 4 years ago. lol.

What makes people good, in my opinion, is looking at everything there is with an open eye. imo practise makes perfect.

Oooh, I love that. I wish I had better words for how cool that idea is and how cool it looks.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 20th, 2006 08:52 am (UTC)
I have madlove for typography!!!!
And it just seems liem John's hair. Well, it was meant to be sorta typographic.

I actually just figured I could change it soll it's all font. All the hair. maybe.. I'm not sure.. or maybe this is cooler.

GAWD you girls kill me with this show. Seeing your amazing art just makes me want to watch it, and that's just what I need...another fandom!

That is SO unique and SO pretty...I'm jealous of your skills and talent, but mostly I just want to learn some of your secrets!
I love it
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:05 am (UTC)

[identity profile] scout27.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 02:22 pm (UTC)
Oh man, that would be AWESOME!
AWESOME! I'm intrigued with your amazing use of textures...you kill me girl. It's like you use them so beautiful, they just fit right in with the piece...so if you ever feel like sharing that love...bring it on!
*hugs*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 04:04 pm (UTC)
I need to make a list on who I wanted to send stuff to.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 04:04 pm (UTC)
and there isn't much to say except it's a little bit of blending.. a little bit of sharpening and adjustment layers.
[identity profile] scout27.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 04:11 pm (UTC)
And a hella lot of talent girl! Don't sell yourself short!
I can't do what you do, but hearing how you do it is still an awesome thing!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 22nd, 2006 06:40 am (UTC)
No need to worry about that lol.
And don't sell yourself short either... you're hella talented :) *kiss*

You made John's hair talk!

No, really, it's brilliant. I love the... effect I can't describe- the way his skin looks. Kind of grainy? It's pretty.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:07 am (UTC)
You made John's hair talk!


rofl!!!! I did NOT!!! *giggles*

and grainy!! YAY!!! I managed. :)

Cool idea! I like it :D
And that bird header is cuuute!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:08 am (UTC)
it'd a plastic toy bird. *g*

thank hon.

BEAUTIFUL! Plus the idea of adding text - which I interpret as thoughts - to his hair? Wow. *clap*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:09 am (UTC)
Thank you. The idea was to show how much of an enigma John really is. Cos we don't really know anything about him. At least not much.

And once he does share something, it is rather inconsequential. Like the ferriswheel and the volkswagen thing.
[identity profile] cynicatlantis.livejournal.com on June 20th, 2006 09:40 pm (UTC)
Typography love! :D

This is great, I love the concept, and the colours and exposure you've used on and around his face. Awesome work! :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:12 am (UTC)
Yes, exactly!!!! Typography love!!!!!!!!!!!!

And thanks.., with exposure you mean the texturing, right? Thank you :)
[identity profile] krabbypatty.livejournal.com on June 20th, 2006 10:06 pm (UTC)
Oh wow, that's seriously cool.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:13 am (UTC)
Thanks!!!
[identity profile] misconstrue.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 12:45 am (UTC)
asolutely GORGEOUS. I love your design and your LJ layout too!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:13 am (UTC)
Thank you!!! :)
[identity profile] elmyraemilie.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 01:04 am (UTC)
Wow--I really like the rough quality of this. The font!hair is just perfect--takes to the ultimate everyone's inside joke about Sheppard's hair being a gauge for his mood.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 21st, 2006 09:14 am (UTC)
rofl... I actually don't like the hair=mood cliche much. lol
and thanks..rough and grainy was what I was going for.

Thank you very very much!!!!

It looks really cool! Reminds me of some Weiss Kreuz art.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on June 26th, 2006 08:54 pm (UTC)
Weiss Kreuz sounds familiar but I cannot place it. lol..
