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

Date: 2011-01-25 04:16 am (UTC)It has been a challenge to learn all the ins and outs of PS...I still don't know what 1/2 of the buttons do, but I am learning more and more each day.
I already have a couple of further things planned out in my head that would go with my story, so I am sure you will see more things in the future.
The story is coming slowly...it very well may be October before it is totally complete! LOL. (if it is, it will be huge!!) :D

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 ;)
