So yesterday I was all "action" and in a sudden bout of wanting to post more and use more icons, I renewd my paid account. Only then I didn't do anything with it. No icons uploaded, nothing done. Maybe today ;)

I've got 5 wallpaper work in progresses in various stages (two are for White Collar and the incaption one has totally misfired). I'm not going to show you all except one. Because I cannot keep it to myself anymore. It's a piece I've been planning to do for legoline for ages. Back then she was still heavily into Supernatural. So it's SPN centric.

I will not tell you the actual story of it yet, just show you the first stage which is pretty fandomless, but I'm still so damn happy and proud of the result. Also see a picture of most of the images I used for this composition.




See larger version (the original will be even bigger).

The next stage willbe very tough and tricky. I haven't figured out yet how to do it. But leT's hope for the best ;)

So... if I made icons or art in fandoms.. certain fandoms.. what would you like and do you have images you really love? I might use them to create something...

You are so talented and skilled. I love this post and seeing the image as a composition crafted using various others. The sharply jutting long grass, for example, creates tension that the long grass in the picture of the house doesn't have. It's brilliant stuff. ♥

Thank you.. that is really sweet of you to say.
I think a lot of people when they see art lieke this don't even realize it is a composition. Maybe.

And thank you!!!! I also though ti looked kind of sinister and moody.

Wow, that looks fab! I love how you've combined them together! I mean, I can see how you did it, and I might be able to pull something like this off if I fiddled with photoshop enough, but for me, I just wouldn't THINK of combining it all...

That's why you're the creative one. ;)

Well... if you made a scribble and painted the outline you would have a basis for finding the right images... :)

I'm sure you could do that!

thx!

Nice to know I'm not the only one who would use 10,000 pics and brushes and filters only to create the background. LOL

Looks really good so far. I can't wait to see the end result. Your art always is so great! :D

Well..that IS partially what makes it look amazing ;) And I dare not count the layers. The file is 140 MB.

Thank you very much.

Okay, this is all kinds of amazing. I'm happy I sort-of kind-of know how to fiddle with the colours of a picture in PS, lol.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! And colors in Photoshop can by quite tricky, so...

I'd love to see the bigger version, but you only linked the "raw" :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

lol..nobody said anything ;)
IT's fixed now.

I love seeing how people put things together, so it was nice to see the images you used to get to the final(ish) result. I really need to mess around in PSP more - it's been ages since I did anything but icons. (And it's been a while since I did any of those either.)

Anyway, it's awesome. I love it as an image in its own right as it is. Not really a big SPN fan, but can't wait to see what you do with it nonetheless. =)

That is truly awesome Elli!!

Love seeing a bit of your artistic process too, makes me want to fiddle with photoshop as well it's been so long.

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

[electricskiess.livejournal.com]

[mystisblom.livejournal.com]

I love it and I can't wait to see it finished. I hate it when you have something in your head but there is just something missing *G* I have so many wp's laying around unfinished that I could wallpaper my bathroom with them *G*

[elli.livejournal.com]

It's very clear in my head. I just cannot find the right images to complete it. Arg.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!!!!! I'm still researching for part too. I cannot find the right images. It is very frustrating!

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

Wow. That looks amazing. And I am not just saying this because there is no pink in it. ;p

Awesome what you can do with pictures.

Can't wait for the final version.
