being creative (aka: wasting time)

so, hey, i decided to try my hand (again) at some photo manips, haven't done it in forever. it started out with me needing something to decorate my new laptop (whose name is Six) so i started messing around and made a collage of sorts. well, that promptly lead to a little Teyla/Elizabeth action. i'm pretty pleased with how they turned out and

Thanks!!! I really appreciate that, I spent more time on it than I'm really willing to admit. I guess that's my version of fiddling heheh. I am just itching to order it at makestickers.com, I love that damn site lol.

God, I know what you mean about them. When I was looking through pics to use, it was like almost impossible to decide because they look so damn good in everything!!!!

I refuse to believe that SGA is going away... It will live on forever. :)

yay! that makes me wiggle with happiness. like a puppy. only with much less fur. and tail.

i still use an ANCIENT graphics program (microsoft photodraw 2000) so i don't have all the little "cheats" (some people would say "tools") that stuff like photoshop has so collages are fraking HARD!!! well, not that normal manips are really any less so, but still, to get all that together and not just look like boxes stacked on top of each other (unless that's the look you want of course) is quite a feat! it makes me so happy that you think it's "extra well"!

seamless??!! wow!!! holy crap that's an amazing compliment as well! is there anything specific about the second one that sticks out to you? i've saved all the little parts and would love to do some more work on it to make it closer to "seamless", though i doubt i'll ever be that good! that damn floor is fucking HARD to work with!!

anyway, thanks again!!!

grrr, i was wondering about the toe thing lol you're right, there's clearance, but it's less believable that Teyla (the younger one) would poke her foot right up against Elizabeth's boot. i may play around with the positioning and such...

damn, i didn't even think about the lighting, i'm gonna have to work on that now to see if it's even plausible to try to fix lol

thanks so much for pointing those out!!! i was worried that the shadows on the floor might be an issue even though they were part of the original pics. but, as i'm sure you know, every little tiny thing pops out at you after you've been staring at something for hours working on it lol
