I feel pretty artsy lately and I mean, how often do I get to say that! LOL I have a couple of really interesting ideas in my head and if I am lucky I even manage to get them on canvas. In the meanwhile I'll try to entertain you with some simple stuff! Enjoy!



In The Dust: Okay, there is absolutely no deeper meaning to this whatsoever, just me playing around with images. So, I am a Jensen/Dean girl, but I am only human and this Jared shoot was too pretty to just pass it up. *g* This was probably the fastest wallpaper I ever created. It kind of just fell together. LOL

In The Dust

1024x768


Silently Broken: This was another piece for Clement's Slot Machine challenge and this time the requirements were the episode 'The Magnificent Seven' and the use of Evanescence lyrics. It's pretty simple, but I kind of like how it turned out. I loved this scene, where Sam confronts Dean about his 'devil may care' behaviour, hurt by Dean's carelessness about his own life and his indifference towards Sam's attempts to save him from his deal, with Dean more or less stonewalling his brother, leaving him alone with his fears and pain. Dean knows he is hurting his brother, but thinks it is the best for them if he puts on his 'game face'.

The lyrics I chose worked perfectly for this scene, showing that although Dean is unable to admit it to Sam, he’s sorry that he puts his brother through this situation. I chose a combination of warm and cold colours and a mix of blending and boxes, emphasizing their being together but apart, loving but also hurting each other. Sam looking out from a rain-stained window serves as a symbol for his sadness and separation from Dean.

When you said you'd thrown a wallpaper together this morning, I didn't realise you meant already posted! Wow, that really is fast for you!

It's a gorgeous picture of Jared, and I love what you've done with it.

The challenge wall I've already seen, but can't remember now if I ever commented on it. It's a realy clever composition.

ROFL thanks! Yeah, I never made a wallpaper in under 3 hours before. *lol* Man, that shoot with Jared is gorgeous indeed! When did he grow up and became all manly?! /sigh

Yeah, I like 'Silenty' although it is a lot simpler than what I usually strive for. But well, sometimes simplicity works best! ;)

Oh, composition in that Silently Broken piece is clever indeed. Love the raindrops on the glass, they look almost like tears... But Jared wallpaper is just too gorgeous not to be my favorite of the two. Even if it's not as conceptual as your works usually are, it's still very emotive. And hot! :)

Aww thanks, hun! ♥ I find it hard to do conceptual celebrity arts anyway, since photoshoots are usually without any context, so I have to make due with the pretty! ;) Glad you approve! ;)

*g* Thanks! Make sure you cover your keyboard to protect it from all the drool! ;)

Ooh and sorry about your forced hiatus! RL really sucks sometimes with its insistence to keep us from the fun stuff! ;) Hope things go well in school. *hugs*

*drools all over the keyboard* Those are so cool!

*catches herself and wipes away drool* You never saw that...

I'm simply in love with both wallpapers, especially 'Dust' because really... I'm more for Sam than for Dean and that picture's obviously HOT. Love the coloring as well.

And what lyrics did you use for 'Silently'? What song, I mean? *concentrates on remembering Evanescence songs from computer and comes up empty-handed*

Really nicely done... Both wallpapers are brilliant!

*huggles*

LOL I guess I will be responsible for serious dehydration amongst the female population, what with all the drooling and all! *g*

Uhm, the lyrics that I used on 'Silently Broken' were from the song 'Forgive Me'. I am not very familiar with Evanescence albums, so I can't tell you on which album it is. *shrugs*

And thanks, glad you enjoy them! *hugs*

*frowns* It's definitely not from 'Fallen' or 'Origin'... Maybe it's the last album *goes in search of album*

I'll tell my doctor to send you the bill. He cured my dehydration so... Yeah... good luck with that. *giggles*

Just looked it up, it's listed under 'Other Songs' so not from an album then. No idea from which context the song is then. *shrugs*

Ha da hat sich das Frienden schon ausgezahlt! *gg*

Unglaublich, was Du mit Photoshop anstellst! Beide sind einfach wundervoll. Wenn ich einen Favorit aussuchen müsste, wäre es wohl das Erste.

Der Shoot von Jared und dazu das alte Auto ist einfach Harmonie pur! Fantastisch!!

LOL danke, dachte mir ich muss die neue Kundschaft befriedigen! *lol*

Freut mich dass es dir gefällt! Wollte erst etwas mehr Ätherisches machen aber Jareds Outfit hat dann doch mehr nach 'alt', 'baufällig' und 'schmutzig' verlangt! :)

Übrigens, deine black/white/red icons gefallen mir echt gut! :)

From: [identity profile] sweetgirl7808.livejournal.com
*loooooool* Das ist Dir sehr gut gelungen! ;o)

Das alte Auto ist der Volltreffer! Ich wüßte nicht, was besser zu Jareds Outfit passen könnte.

*Blushes* Vielen Dank! Hast Du in mein Lj geschnuppert? *gg*

Yup, wenn mich jemand friended schau ich immer mal ins Journal, damit ich die Leute wenigstens ein bisschen kennenlerne.

Deine Icons gefallen mir besonders gut und die Tutorials über animierte icons/header und 'gezeichnete' Icons waren sehr informativ. Icons sind nicht grade meine Stärke, da versuch ich noch zu lernen. *g*

From: [identity profile] sweetgirl7808.livejournal.com
Wow, jetzt fühl ich mich richtig geehrt! *noch roter werde*

Tutorials mach ich meist nur auf Anfrage, weil mein Englisch eigentlich nicht mehr gut genug dafür ist. Früher war's mal besser. *g*
Aber solange mich die Leute verstehen ist es ok, denk ich.

Lustig, denn ich find Deine Icons klasse! Ich hab mir gestern noch 3 gekrallt. Ich geh im Moment grad meine Benutzerbilder durch, weil ich einige runterwerfen muss, damit ich die Neuen hochladen kann. *gg*

LOL danke! Nicht dass ich meine Icons ganz schrecklich finde, aber ich hab kein so gutes Händchen für Cropping oder Komposition von Icons. Es gibt echt tolle Icons Künstler, ich mach die manchmal nur zur Abwechslung oder wenn ich uninspiriert für Wallpaper bin. LOL

Oh I love the new wallpapers! That Jared shoot of very hot, I don't blame you at all for making that wallpaper at all. But my favorite is Silently Broken. It's so sad! I just wanna cry after looking at it! Great job as always!

Oh no problem at all! That scen really is sad, and your wallpaper just makes it even more sad if at all possible. I love how you used the boxes, and the coloring, and the just..gah! All of it, it's beautiful.

Thanks! I usually don't use boxes, I'm not a huge fan of that style but for some themes it just works! ;)

I can't even recall a time I've used boxes in one of my wallpapers. I've always been a big fan of blending myself. But they worked perfect in that piece, I'm glad you used them. It really got the point across better than I blending would have.

From: [identity profile] galathea-snb.livejournal.com
Heh me too! I have maybe 4-6 boxy style wallpapers in my whole portfolio. *g* I am addicted to blending. LOL But I do know some artists who work the box style really well. :)
