I just want to clarify a bit - this is just ONE header, right? And you want it to say "HalfshellVenus' Supernatural Gen Fanfiction" on it somewhere, big, right? And then the words can just be located anywhere, yes?
Also, what kind of size are you looking for in this?
this is just ONE header, right? And you want it to say "HalfshellVenus' Supernatural Gen Fanfiction" on it somewhere, big, right? And then the words can just be located anywhere, yes? Yes to each of those. And because it's just theh one header, you may only be able to fit a few of those pictures in. Just depends where your art takes you. :D Which I so envy.
Also, what kind of size are you looking for in this? *cringe* This is where I go all stupid on you. Looking at my "UserInfo" page vs. my main Fic page... Looks like a good size would be approximately 300-400 pixels high and about 700 pixels wide. I think. :(
That's what would seem to fit between the borders on the 2-column display. But the individual posts seem to have 3 columns, where the fic portion is approx. 600 (?) pixels wide. That might be the better thing to shoot for. I'll see if I can mess around with it in the next few days to see whether the side on the right can be suppressed.
Eep, I hope I don't let you down! It may be a few days before I can get it done, I just found out today I'm staying at my friend's house for two days, so we'll see when I can do this.
Not stupid :) We'll work out the size, no worries!
Well, here it is! I didn't put the words on it cause I thought they would clutter them up, but if you really want them added just let me know :) Any other changes, just ask!
Wow. I just... incredible. I have no idea how you do this, with all the pictures overlapping so beautifully. I suck at just the basic icon-making.
So, hmmm, colors-- could it possibly be more pastel in nature, e.g., peach, soft-yellow and pastel-green? Wish I could get a bluer tint in there, but the Diner Dean sets the whole tone, and I can't imagine that peach color looking good next to anything blue-ish. And is there any way to tone down the orange of Sam's face in the phone picture and the Faith window picture? His makeup was really overdone in both of those (and several others I saved off).
I _love_ that you used the Supernatural-style text for the word itself. I really like its slight unevenness in the letter heights, etc.
For the "HalfshellVenus'" and "Gen Fiction" perhaps a different font? This is such an interesting style you chose here-- it speaks to me more for my Prison Break fiction for some reason. Like grainy brick desperation or something. Could it be perhaps wider than the Supernatural, but less fat and grainy? Maybe even a bold version of the same text style as the "Supernatural"? I have no idea what that is, but I tried out some samples in Microsoft Word, and "Calligraph421 BT" came kind of close. Just a suggestion, though.
God, all the overlaying and the conflicting parts of the picture are so well covered or displaced or obscured. Your skills just absolutely amaze me.
*bows in veneration and mystification* Thank you so much!
All those changes are definitely easy to make! Right now I'm at a friend's house, so the earliest I'll be able to do anything is tomorrow, if that's okay. I can definitely make it blueish if you want, I can alter the color of the entire thing and therefore diner!Dean won't throw anything off. I'll try a few things and see what works out. I'll also see what I can do about Sam's insane orange makeup, lol.
The font I used for Supernatural is "Sell Your Soul," which I had to download from dafont.com (if you want to find it yourself). I'm not sure if I have a bold version of it, but again, I'll play around with it and see what I come up with :)
I'm glad you like it! *hugs* It was no problem, I had fun :) I wonder if you'd mind if I shared it, just without your text on it? It's totally cool if you just want to keep it to yourself, just thought I'd ask :)
It's gorgeous! The colors, the composition. Guh. I'll just be over here flailing for a bit...
I think only one more tweak, if possible-- can the shading on the words reclaim the "H" in HalfshellVenus' and the "S" in Supernatural and also the "n" at the end of Fanfiction?
Now I need to run over to my journal and spaz over this for a bit.
Thank you! *huggles of unimaginable rib-crushing size*
