Terrific job on the U2 wallpaper. I'm dowiloading it, thanks a lot for sharing!

Love the icons as well, especially the U2 and Gilmore Girls ones :)

Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

These are great! I snagged some Atlantis icons and the U2 wallpaper, will credit when used.

You'd you get the effects on Bono in the icons?? I've been trying for ages and can't figure it out!

Give me an icon number you're curious about, and maybe I can point you in the right direction :)

Well the ones with the sunglasses would be it, but I love effects on 28 and 29. But the sunglass icons are it.

I'm working in PS7, so hopefully this makes sense!

For the sunglasses icons (and well, the part of the wallpaper that I pulled them from), I started off with this texture from Tre - a great resource, I highly recommend it! The screencaps were already black & white, so I positioned them on the next layer, set the layer to screen to pull out the white. Then, a pink to blue gradient with the layer on lighten. Then, another layer with the black & white pictures set to hard light. Then, to give the glasses a splash of color, on a new layer, I used just any old round brush to paint with a bright blue over where the glasses would be and set the layer to color. To get the rough bottom edges, I merged those layers together to give me one and just swiped over the bottom with the eraser tool set on a rough looking brush ( ... )

*wavers on the Sailor Moon icons but in the end doesn't snag any. Instead, she snags the Rodney/Radek SGA icon* I'll give this one a home, I think. Thanks. Cred when use, of course.

That wallpaper is fabulous!! I never see any Ronan art and your's is so perfect! You made my day!
