Artwork from a Newbie to the Comm!

[off-the-post18.livejournal.com]

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

I'm quite impressed with your Photoshop skills so far - lovely!

What cap of Cam is that? Sweet mercy his eyes are gorgeous :) (Also the rest of him!)

Thank you! The problem I am going to have is that I am so freaking picky that I have a hard time leaving something alone. LOL. PS has been a lot of fun so far though.

The cap is from S10E18 'Talion.' It is one of my favorite caps...but then, I am a sucker for Cam-Whump. :D

Good luck with PS as you go on :)

And I'm a sucker for Cam-whump too! And schmoop, and angst, and... well, Cam. But this isn't the comm for that :D

I think I have read all of your Cam stuff (yes, I am terrible at leaving FB...I used to FB everything, guess I need to get back into doing so.)

Anyways...he (Cam) is one of my favorite characters to use b/c he whumps (and other things) so easily! Plus, like Evan, there is still a lot we don't know about him and it gives us writers something nice to tackle.

I do like that about Cam, that he's kind of mold-able as a character, yeah :)
