Sig Testing 2

[Mistral]

One two one. Two two one. One two two. Two one two.



Three.

EDIT:
Four four five. Three one two.



EDIT 2:
Six two one.


The above was brought to you by a pique of laziness. From top to bottom, EDEN, Dream Party, Day Dream, and Lullaby.

EDIT 3:
One one two three


PW:AA sprite rips. One more like this and I'll hit four. Wait, JPG and it's still animated? And still an invalid URL problem.

EDIT 4:
Four. I can link the source for Iris here, but there is no point in sourcing a picture taken physically beyond saying to take a stop by a nice lake in Korea. Well, at any rate, as above, it was a touch of laziness. The style is rather familiar, after all, though less effort went into the border feathering (it's barely visible here). The lighting proved a bit of a trick, but nothing complex. I would have done a torii, but for the minor facts that (a) it's quintessentially Japanese Shinto, and (b) it's Japanese Shinto.

Wonder why I named it Mercury Flow/Mirror Sight when I didn't add the figurative mirror, though...on the other hand...oh, now that's a shiny idea, and it won't take much at all. And I'll be able to make use of this and that.


Ah, shiny. Now, for sleepy-bye.

Double post. Apparently I tweaked one too many things, so the forum decided I had too many images. Well, a simple comparison to check how "valid" something is; after all, messing with people's heads is a bit of a pasttime. I can't do anything about my lack of skill or experience, but there are these little things I can try. The biggest problem is, of course, that it's too obvious a photomanip. Well, insofar as it's not really a photo. Umm....opinions? Advice? Random insults?

Between her and the background, I dunno... The lighting doesn't seem to match

[Mistral]

Pretty much the entirety of the problem, since I couldn't seem to get it to work. Well, it ended up irrelevant for much besides practice. As it is, non?

[Evans]

I like. Mucho.

Only twice before: Ragnar (Grenda => Elmina) and Evans (Goddess Althena => Luna). Still a little amusing to be taking the "evil" side, though. It's also the first time using Gimp instead of Photoshop, too, since this machine doesn't have the latter and I wasn't planning on doing much online from here. It's quite different, needless to say, and I'm limiting myself to mostly source crops.



Hmmm...maybe if I desaturate the avatar a bit. I don't get this at all. No separate filter layers?

EDIT: *Sigh* Yeah, the filters are doing absolutely nothing. The blur tool itself is doing even less. I could understand if it didn't work on the pseudo-fractal (which is a shiny tool), but not on the base image itself.



Yeah, that's pretty much it for this, I think. There's this and that to consider, after all.

EDIT 2: Idle boredom and another desktop crop.


EDIT 3:
Motto motto mot~to yo~.


Still, I wasn't supposed to be doing anything like this here. As it is, so let it be, and thus shall we continue as we once were. And, of course, siggie and avvie.

Take revisit, and beg succor.


EDIT 4:
'Tis always a touch more. 'Tis but a trace, and never more.



A spirit of solemnity, a sense of mourning, and always the eternal memory. That one remembers who came before, and carries that knowledge into the future with them. That is what these candles hold.

What do ya think...

[Mistral]

It's, like, something odd. I don't know why I even made it; "made", of course, is a misnomer when it's two crops, a desaturate with a small layer mask for Kimiko, and a 1 px border. I mean, it's not as if I really think my present sig is all that great, but I'm not overly discontent with it. I rather like my present avatar, too. If I swapped it out for anything, it would probably be The Garden of Everything or especially Winter Lights. Still, I suppose I'll at least see how it looks here.

EDIT:

I'm waiting for my sig and avatar.

Curse you, Evans! Curse you to the fiery depths of the darkest pits of despair!
...
Fiery? Firey? Friery? Frippery? Friendly phantasmagorical phantasms of fantasy? Nah, that's just silly.
