IMPORTANT. Please read.

Someone is leaving comments on open posts on LJ. If you click on the link in the comment, it will upload a virus.

Here is a sample of what the comment looks like:

Hello nardasarmy, i saw something like this at...

Then you're given a link to an LJ post using the URL but when you hover over it, it shows up as a link to somewhere else, an art-attack.com/users address. The "nardasarmy" bit changes to whatever the journal name they are posting the comment in.

Please, please, please be careful about clicking links left in comments over the next couple days. Hover your mouse over them without clicking and make sure you're not being tricked in some way.

If you or someone you know has been hit, try here for some help in removal. That link goes to the MajorGeeks site, and their forum thread on removing spyware and viruses.

Feel free to copy and paste this and spread the message.

*note* This probably will not happen at jeweledicecream because most of our posts are locked, but I know some of you are in other (public) icon communities, and this can happen there.

56 colorbars! :D

2005-08-03T05:52:15Z

uhm, yeah, so I've been working on these for the past week or so and I've decided that it's finally time to release them as I can always edit the post later and it'll be nice to see what everyone thinks. :)

1. Comment on which colorbars you're taking.

2. Link the colorbar to this post(<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/jeweledicecream/45601.html"><img src="image url here"></a>) or put something like "colorbar by jeweledicecream somewhere on the page you're using them.

3. No hotlinking. If you need somewhere to host your pictures, http://www.photobucket.com is good for hosting.

4. Pimp this post. ;) haha, kidding. Seriously though, I spent a lot of time on these so it would be awesome if you could tell your friends about this post (it's public).

I will be taking 2 requests for each person (multi usernames don't count :P). Might do more later, but only 2 for now. Please check to see if I've done a colorbar on that fandom before you request. You still need to follow the rules at the top of this post, but this'll expand the kinds of fandoms I have on this post. :)

Character from a movie/tv show? If so, what movie/show?
Picture 1: (please post it as a URL)
Picture 2: (please post it as a URL)
Picture 3: (please post it as a URL)
What do you want it to say? (ie: movies are fun love)

*note* Requests can be for anything, anyone. :) The first question is just for listing the colorbars. For example, say there's a Jack colorbar. Jack who? With the first question, I can be able to list it as Lost: Jack or 24: Jack.

And please tell me if there are any broken links! I most likely have the colorbar uploaded and typoed while typing out the URL.

my first icon tutorial :o

2005-04-02T06:47:35Z

Tutorial for this icon in PS7:

1) I start off with this image (image credit goes to emmy-rossum.net). I resize it to 45% and then I crop it to make the image below.

(base/background layer)

2) I apply the following gradients (all made by crumblingwalls and theonewithicons) at the following settings.

Linear Dodge
(layer 1)

Hard Light
(layer 2)

Pin Light
(layer 3)

Overlay, 47% opacity
(layer 4)

3) Next I use a brush by innocenceagain (download here; the thumbnail of the brush I'm talking about looks like this). I apply it in white at 70% opacity on layer 5. Now my icon looks like this:

4) Then I use a text brush which I believe is by ohpaintbrush (download here) and a heart brush by teh_indy (download here) resized to 59px (layer 6) at the color #FA5A27 and 78% opacity.

5) Then I flatten the whole image (image > flatten image) so it's all one layer. Duplicate the layer twice so you have three layers: background, background copy, and background copy 2.

6) Move background copy 2 a little to the left. You don't have to move it the exact pixels as I've moved mine, but here's what mine looks like now:

7) Now move background copy to the right until it looks okay. Now the icon looks like this:

8) Now I make a new layer (it will be automatically titled layer 1 by photoshop) and select a strip of area where background copy 2 and background copy meet. You don't have to do it exactaly like what I have, but this is what I selected:

9) Now I use the gradient I last used (shown below) and used it to fill in the selected area. Deselect once you've filled it in (ctrl+d). Set the layer to soft light.

(what it looks like with the settings set to "normal". You need to set it to soft light though.)

10) Duplicate layer 1. Now you should have background, background copy, background copy 2, layer 1, and layer 1 copy. Set layer 1 copy to hard light, 39% opacity. Move it to the left a little. Now the icon looks like this:

11) I make a new layer (layer 2) and use another one of those flashy brushes from the set I was talking about before (this time the thumbnail looks like this) at white, opacity 64%. Now it looks like this:

12) I decide I don't like how the images are positioned, so I decide to move background copy to the left a little and also move background copy 2 to the left a little so it's aligned right. I also move layer 1 and layer 1 copy (the two gradient strips) so they're aligned where the two images meet. Now the icon looks like this:

13) I make a new layer (layer 3) and I select another area. See below:

Fill it in with the same gradient we used for the other strips.

Deselect (ctrl+d), set it to pin light and opacity 35%.

14) Now you get to apply font. I used Georgia, bold italic, size 9, color #E45C2F, opacity 89%. You can, of course, put antything you want, but I put "pretty". Yay, now you have a finished product!

How to use a tutorial: (quoted from teh_indy)
If you come across a full icon tutorial, do not follow each step exactly to create an icon that looks just like the one in the tutorial. Instead, use certain steps to learn new things and develop your own ways of applying them. It’s not cool to see a hundred icons that all look the same.

I'd love to see what icons you've created using this tutorial. :D Feel free to comment with them to show me!
(oh, and adding to memories is more than fine with me. ;))

You know what I hate? I hate seeing my brushes everywhere and no credit. Thanks to all of you guys that do credit, but those of you who haven't creditted need to go out and edit your userinfo, your resources post, the post where you used my brushes, or whatever, and credit jeweledicecream. You have no idea how frustrating it is to spend so much time making those brushes and then not getting credit.

Go. Credit.

Here are examples of jewels506 and oddshiz's icons so you know you can expect. :)

If you take any of the icons, please credit jeweledicecream. Just because these icons are public does not mean that they are free for taking without crediting.

affilates?

2004-09-25T17:36:20Z

If anyone has an icon journal or community and they want to be affilates with us, please comment here. :)

Add us to your affilates first, and then comment with the name of your icon journal or community. We will add you ASAP unless we believe that your icon journal is unsuitable and then we will let you know. :) Most likely we will say yes.

*wave* Julie here! :)

I just wanted to let you all know that if you make icons, you should join disney_hush. It is a disney icon contest community for textless disney icons. :) If you decide on joining, please go here and tell them jewels506 referred you. :)

Thanks! <3

I'll probably make some icons soon. :)
