Wide Open Space graphic

[kelliem]

aukestrel and I played around and made a title graphic for Wide Open Space and I want to show it off 'cause I think it turned out quite nifty.



Because the quality of the images was so vastly different between the left (sharp & clear) and right (scanlined and pixellated) halves of the image, I had to try and figure out how to make them a visual match. Once I got the two halves put together, I used a photograin filter, and then a diffuse glow filter. Then because the diffuse glow made it really yellow, Auk used a red filter over it all and added the text and text effects.

ETA: Thanks to scriggle for the caps I used. The quality of the PoS cap is totally not Scriggle's fault, the original media is like that.

ETA2: The original (slightly resized) images are behind the cut.

TYK! :-)

That's gorgeous!

Now I just have to finish my own writing so that I can read your story. :)

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yes, you do. :) (Is that bad to say that?)

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

*melts* that's gorgeous!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was really happy with how it turned out!

I like your skinny dipping icon. :)

thanks!

*is amazed*

Wow, it's beautiful!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

I'm amazed how well it turned out, too. :)

Nicely done!!!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thanks! From you, that means a lot. :)

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Ooo, shiny!!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

It helps to have shiny to work with. :)

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

Oh, yum. That's just lovely. It's tough to work with caps of such different quality, but you managed to do it very prettily indeed.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

It's not as good as your work, but it was fun. :-)

Wow, Kellie, that's gorgeous!

I haven't read the story yet because I need a good long uninterrupted day to tackle it, but I'm totally looking forward to it! I've only seen Buffalo Jump once, and I haven't seen either of them in ages, but I'm sure it won't take me long to connect with the characters--it is you and AuK after all, so I know I'll be in good hands. :)

We did kinda get carried away... ;-D

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! And that's a fabulous icon. Is that Newbie or Ray? (Or another player to be named later?)

[arallara.livejournal.com]

That would be Ray, getting "frisked" by Volpe. *g* It's the little smirk that kills me.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Ohyeah. That scene is quite... inspirational. I love the little eyebrow lift too.

Wow, beautiful! Looks like a painting! Pointillism, maybe. Nice juxtaposition of the figures, good sizing, and I love the typefaces, too. Works beautifully with the story!

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, the pointillist effect works really well, it does give it a painterly feel.

[scriggle.livejournal.com]

Wow. That came out fantastic. You did a great job putting together those caps.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And thank you for the caps. :)

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

What a fabulous story! You two -- I know how much I love your writing separately, but the two of you combined is a special treat that just blows me away. I absolutely adore what you did with these guys. Now I wish there was a fandom just for them! Thank you for hours of wonder and joy.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Yay! So glad you liked it!! We're pretty fond of Christy and Alex too. :)

This is positively exquisite! Really one of the most gorgeous and perfect manips I've ever come across.

And I've bookmarked the story - can't wait to snag some free time to devour it. :D

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks!
