New Photoshop!

[elli]

To everyone I'm owning emails to. I'll get to it as soon as I have outlook, which I don't at the moment.

Testing my new Photoshop a little....*grins* Sort of inspired by oxoniensis. Like this sweetie?
Testing some techniques. Enjoy. You can use them of course. they are for sharing. Just comment.



Alessandra Ambrosio

Jude Law

Kristin Kreuk

Michael Rosenbaum

Cathrine Zeta-Jones

The fic I was tlaking about. It's abot my very unoriginal personal Mary Sue. *grins wickedly*
And it's an SV cover. Meaning SV characters will appear as the story progresses.

The world isn't safe. It never was.

FBI, NSA and CIA don't guarantee protection.
Therefore decades ago, during the second world war, the President of the United States of Amerika created an organisation which merged the three agencies. A Division which contained only the best and the brightest. They would head all agencies.

Noone was ever supposed to know it exsist.

Today, the power vested in it has been abused by one man. Thriving to create the best Division that ever exsisted, he jeopardizes the balance of power, risking the exsistance of mankind.





So what do you think..should i write it? Knowing my track record for unfinished fics.

Sounds like something I'd read! X-files, conspiracy theories, mysteries, ... go for it. :) Definitely.

The new icons are wonderful, as always!

For a second I wanted to say no consipracies...but lol....it's a whole fuckin concpiracy, so... I'm just scared to write it.

And thank you!!!!!

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

Nooo, don't be scared to write it. Just start and see if it feels right, if it's going in the direction it should. I bet once you've got started, the words will just flow.

(Me, I'm the queen of unfinished WIP though. Shame on me. You'll do better, I say! *g*)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Ya know.the problem is it's like a tv show.one story_ one episode. No I can't figure out what...besides the end and the beginning, the plot for the first ep should be.

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

Introducing the next major/minor character, for example?
Either have an ep center around him/her and the obvious major character with a little action on the side.
Or think of lots of action in which said character can make a short, but (memorable?) appearance, then resurrect him at a very important moment later on in the series.

I guess that's how these things usually work?
I'm afraid I can't be of more specific help, because I don't know what your story's gonna be about. (But I'm very much looking forward to it. If you need an additional beta reader, I'd love to help out. *g*)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well...since it's the first part, it's introducing all the major characters...or rather...the key one. But the key character won't be the center of the first ep, you won't know who the key character is. Sorta like that.

I just need a threat. Ya know it's secret agnents..and they go undercover, so I gotta figure out what they go undercover for.

Drugs? maybe the mafia, an evil dictator?

oh..the more betas the better...right? *hugz*

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

Do they go undercover to hide or to investigate?
I'd rule out Mafia, because that's sorta it's own theme, you know? Works with it's own rules and has certain aspects that would need to be researched. So, if that should be a minor plot theme, it will give you extra (unnecessary) work. And if it's just gonna be mentioned on the sidelines, it's still better to use something that doesn't evoke so many expectations. (I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself very well about this, so...we could talk tomorrow?! *grins*)

Drugs are always good. Keeps it simple, yet conveys you're talking about serious crime and dangerous people.
An evil dictator? *grins* Only if he's going to be important for the story.

I'm so, so curious about this story now. You better do write it! *hugs back*

[elli.livejournal.com]

The go undercover to investigate. They are secret angents. They might have to hide later.

The evil dictator was more of a joke. We have alien invasion, not evil dictators, we have corrupt politicians, deals. Buisnessmen....the like. I just need to get the story started. somehow. I have a small verse somewhere. not the one I showed you, but the first chapter.

I'm tending towards the drug thing. Migth use some crime boss. Bad, shady people. I have a vision of tom raider 2, where Lara is in that prison....

*hugzhugzhugz*

What's the plan for tonight? SV? or sleep...*grins*

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

I like the drug thing idea. It's easy to tie other things into it, when necessary, and leaves you free to create whatever atmosphere you need (in that criminal environment). So yeah, I'd opt for that one as well. :)

You also just reminded me that I've yet to see TR2! :/ Shame on me - it's Angelina "Goddess" Jolie, after all.

*hugs back* :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

*G*...we agree then...I'd figured some kind of crime lord, underground thingy. Something simple.

Yeah..and watch TR2...it's a fun movie...

ps: see my icon...feel me..

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

The icon ROCKS! So true. *lmao*

[elli.livejournal.com]

[kia-ora.livejournal.com]

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well..who doesn't....I kno i do..I'm just scared I'm not gonna be able or have the muse to finish it.

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Damn you Elli! That's the sort of icon I want to make! *pouts* Maybe one day...

These are seriously gorgeous. If I wasn't only using my own icons now, I'd take the lot!

[elli.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why I made them, to see how it works. And then to be able to tell you. So do you want me to do a tutorial. and if yes, for which icon. I'll have to divulge my darkest secret of artmaking,...*g*


oh and thank you *grins*

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Divulge your secrets! All of them! Well, the icon-making ones anyway... I'd love a tutorial, or tutorials, on any or all of them.

[elli.livejournal.com]

lomao...well actually they all work on the same basic principle. The lana ones are the jude and mr one with an extra...for instance.

i'm gonna have to reveal all my tricks now...oh god who's gonna hire me then...lol

J/K..i'll write it after I got the icon webpage done.

[immortal-one.livejournal.com]

*faints* I stumbled upon your journal somehow only to find that you've make Jude Law icons. And everyone knows Jude is my husband. Duh. So snagging the first and second one. Great job on all the icons! I LOVE your style.

[elli.livejournal.com]

*grins*

You stumbled? hehe.... I'm not a Jude fan myself... I think he looks amazing, but I've only seen one movie with him in it or maybe two. I started for a friend and he IS a good model.

So thank you!

[pickinguproses.livejournal.com]

I stumbled onto these Jude icons too, while looking for Clex. I LOL at "Jude is my husband" because he is the mirror image of my first husband. Scout's honor. Also, I named my second son after him. Jude-obsessed fan #1, meet Jude-obsessed fan #2.

And I took the Jude 1 and 3. Day-um.

[elli.livejournal.com]

lomao...I prefer lex any time of the day...*g* so you cn have jude all to yourself.

thanks! enjoy.
