Nothing works as I expect it to, but I don't want to install that "make GIMP act like Photoshop" package either. That feels like defeating the purpose of trying to learn a new tool... by making it behave like another one, that it actually isn't. <br /><br />I'm actually not that pleased with how Astarion came out in this icon either - it looks somewhat strange and blurry, but it stays until I've found or made some better icons of him. <br /><br />Guh, this guy is taking over my mind, can you tell?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=zimena&ditemid=833986" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-17:348235:809619 2019-06-09T17:08:20Z 2019-06-09T17:08:20Z public 0 I have Photoshop now, so hopefully that'll mean some new icons and some more fun with graphics from now on.<br /><br />The first thing bigger than an icon that I've made, is this little fan graphic featuring a certain Duncan Laurence:<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://zimena.dreamwidth.org/809619.html#cutid1">Check it out behind the cut</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=zimena&ditemid=809619" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-17:348235:756563 2017-04-04T16:52:06Z 2017-04-04T16:52:06Z public 0 I'm in a bit of a weird mood today. Maybe I can blame it on the weather, which is grey and cloudy in the worst possible way right now. I don't mind cloudy weather per se, but sometimes it just makes me depressive. Don't know if that's the weather's fault or just my fault for having an off day, though. <br /><br />It's probably not necessary to mention that I didn't get much useful stuff done today either. No writing, at least. And not much else either, honestly. I slept for a while, then tried to make some icons... which didn't work as I suddenly couldn't come up with a cool text even though I had made a text space... so I just ended up resizing a couple of pics that I had found online to icons instead. That's not really "making" something - it's just taking something and adjusting it to my needs. <br /><br />Now going to look up a video on how to get arrows easily in Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, as I seem to ALWAYS run out of arrows... and there's supposedly a glitch to get them easily, except I don't understand how it works yet. Next stop: Youtube. Then there will hopefully be some game time later tonight.<br /><br />And more sleep. Or maybe a tiny bit of writing, if my mood will be better by then. Let's hope for that...<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=zimena&ditemid=756563" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
