New LJ layout!

You know what the problem with LJ layouts and headers is? Once you started with the whole changing layouts thing, you can't really stop it! It's even worse than with a website layout, since I see it more often and for a longer period of time than my homepage and hence get bored with it a lot faster! *sighs melodramatically* So I made a new header and colour scheme, it's all autumnal now. Let's see how long it lasts! *g*

OO I love the new layout! I also love the words you put in - makes me go "Aww". The coloring is really nice and I just love everything about it!

Thanks, glad you like it! Since the show refuses to be emo at the moment I need to compensate obviously! *lol*

Haha, no problem. Well, you've inspired me to do Art. I haven't done a wallpaper in like forever, so I'm going to attempt to make one today, haha

*laughs head off*

First ever-changing banner sets, then ever-changing website layout, and now ever-changing LJ layout, huh?

But see how you're arting more regularly again now! Very beautiful new header, btw. I love autumn colours. That's one of your favoured stocks, no?

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, no I think I only used this stock once in an AtS wallpaper .. so it's a long while ago. But I use these kinds of church arches and archways pretty often if I only want a pretty background, they are easy to work with and always look beautiful. :)

[identity profile] llywela13.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's kinda what I meant - the pretty arches definitely crop up over and over in your work.

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe what can I say, I am lazy, if something works, I am tempted to reuse it. *lol* I do try though to make it always different enough to not become boring, it's prettier than a random texture, so I prefer it to that as background. I actually very rarely use them in wallpapers, mostly in banners, awards and alike.

Who said boring? I never said boring. *sticks tongue out*
I said a recognised arches as a theme - you should be happy I remember your work that well! I rarely do. *G*

Awww ♥ *is happy*

Lookin’ good Chris! I love the sentiment you chose for the text. So glad to see you inspired!

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, hon! ♥ Heh, the images are pretty random though, I just always search for a scene where they look at each other and then add some random background, but yeah, the text makes me all happy in connection with the caps. *g*

[identity profile] ehlwyen.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
But that can provide some of the best art since those facial expressions were not originally paired together and then create a new type of dynamic. :heart:

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very true, like in my new wallpaper that I posted on BF, the way Dean looks back to Sam creates completely new connotations. I am often trying to create these kinds of new constellations, I am always happy if I find 2 character caps that I can put together in a new context. In the case of this layout though the expressions were actually originally paired, they simply just look at each other in that scene from Route666. ;)

Amazing header, Chris! Winchester goodness is always great anyway, especially when it's made by you. ;)

Aww thank you Marie! *hugs*

Very cool avi btw! ;)

Breathtaking. No harm in playing.

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I am so happy everybody seems to love it. :D

Heh, your avi always makes me want to re-watch Life On Mars! :D

It looks great! The colours rock!! I've also been itching to change mine, but I suck at coding, so I've been putting it off. Thought I'd try something this weekend though. You've inspired me too!

[identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh it's always beyond cool if people feel inspired by what I do! :D I am not really good with coding either, but adding a header and changing the colours isn't actually too difficult. :)
