CSI : Miami Icons #4 - Showcase, Links, and Requests

Pusher tells me that this is the place to ask sweetly for an avatar? Is it like a Christmas list, and you just write what you want? I would like something of Sofia/Yelina, maybe from the last scene in Simple Man, because she is so beautiful there. Can it be animated?

 

Had some time to make icons

 

nice icons, everyone!!

 

here some screencaps from Simple Man

those are about the only 3 i made that were decent but you can see the undesirables if you...follow the yellow brick road

 

I haven't posted a icon in a long time so here is one from me.

Awesome icons everyone! Stef and Tati, I especially love yours, as always.

Stef, do you sharpen before or after you re-size? It may be my computer but they come out clearer when you sharpen before. Again, it probably is just my computer, but just afriendly tip if it's not.



More at my LJ

 

i've done it both ways. half of them turn out clear and the other don't, half of the time they don't look like that until i leave photoshop. i can't seem to figure out whats makin it do that.

 

Try sharpening right after you crop it, and usually, with most screencaps, I sharpen it twice. Then I'll color, layer, and everything else. It might help. (Of course they're still GORGEOUS!) And try saving it to web, not just saving it, and as jpeg or png. As a saved for web file they're WAY smaller and eliminate the need for quality-reducing.

 

lilly, youre a genius. i haven't been saving it to web and it degrades the quality like majorly. thanx.

 

Ah Stef, anything I can do to help. On that note, I hope it helps! I look forward to seeing even more amazing icons from you. Keep up the great work everyone!
