Artwork from a Newbie to the Comm!

Hello Everyone!  I have been following this Comm for a while, but this is my first post here.  :)  *waves*

For Xmas, I gifted myself with Photoshop and over the last couple of days have been playing around with it like crazy.  I have always been so jealous of those people with the PS skillz and hate asking them all of the time to make me stuff....thought I'd try and learn for myself.  LOL.

For my first project I decided to work on a story "banner" for my new Stargate fic that has the pairing of Cameron Mitchell/Evan Lorne.  The story is AU and is of the angst, hurt/comfort variety.  It is slash (obviously) and is tentatively titled "My Yesterday's In Front Of Me."  No, it is not finished yet and I am not going to post it until it is complete.  This is the first long piece of fiction I have written in a long time and I am enjoying writing again.

Anyways...below the cut is my effort.

 


I have mostly been learning how to use the program through tutorial vids on YouTube and ones found on LJ.  I know I have a ton yet to discover, but I am pretty darn happy with my initial attempt.  :)

If you have any suggestions, comments, critiques, etc...feel free to let me know...but please do not beg, borrow or thief my little piece of artwork.  Thanks!!  :D

Welcome!

Very pretty, thank you for sharing.

Doubly so since its your first, and yay for being so tenacious teaching yourself - mega kudos. Hope to see more of your work in the near future, and psst pimping Lorne/Cam is slated for Oct- not that you have to wait that long ;)

Anything you have, fic or art that you're willing to share would be welcomed =)

& epic would be awesomeness!

Side note: Do you have any particular tutorials you like, could share links to? I've used UT for other tutorials 'how to draw' but haven't ventured into any PS... maybe if I start watching them a few hundred-thousand times I could attempt something. That's said with a huge conditional maybe ;)
