LIMS #6 Final Challenge!: 140x140 - Winners!

Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures - Now Up!

Alright, time for the next challenge!

LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures!

Another odd challenge, guys. :p I'm providing 4 different textures (all by 77words). You have to choose and use one of them to create your icon. You can choose whatever picture from whichever show (only screencaps though), you can blend 2 or more pics, and use all of the techniques available to you. The only restriction is to make use of one of the provided textures.

Textures:

Questions? Concerns?
 
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures - Now Up!

Question: Can I use more than 1 texture? Example: I use 2 of the textures provided or I use 1 of the texture provided and another from my own collection?
 
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up!

Cool idea !!! :)

I have a question, can the textures be altered? I mean change the color, opacity, clone parts, make them black and white...
 
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up!

MelC, you are allowed to use more than one texture, no matter if it is one provided by me, or one from your own collection.

Daquien, yes the textures may be altered. ETA: except the clonning and cutting part. you can't take only one 10x10 piece from the texture and clone it. the texture has to be used as a whole. you can, however, change the color, opacity, etc. I just need to be able to recognize which one you used when i look at your icon. If you are using two from the ones i provided, i need to recognize just one of them.


I hope that answers your questions. :)
