Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Days 9-10

[potentiality_26]

Day 9

Commit an Act of Kindness.

Mostly done IRL, though I am trying to comment more on fics and posts, which I feel counts since I like receiving comments so much.

Day 10

Create a fanwork.

I've made 3 Anthony Valentine icons (okay, 2 and an alternate because I couldn't decide which, if either, looked better).

I decided it would be a good challenge for me to just make a couple and then post them without too much fuss, because a) I'm just getting back into icon making and I need to be less precious about it, and b) if I did save all my new icons for one big post like I was thinking I would probably spend forever in a fruitless quest to make seventies shows look less like they're from the seventies.

I would probably spend forever in a fruitless quest to make seventies shows look less like they're from the seventies.

It's very difficult! It would definitely take a while. :-D

And nice work on the AV icons - the first is particularly nice.

Heh, I'm definitely not there yet, skill-wise. And I don't even mind until I'm looking at something from 1977 right next to something from 2017. Then I can't seem to stop fiddling with it.

Thank you <3

Yay for rl kindness :)

Ooooh, I love the icons! <3 Especially the Raffles one - very nice lighting. For improving the look of 70's shows, try playing with some of the adjustment layers - levels and vibrance help me a lot. I found the tutorials on this tumblr to be very helpful.

Thanks!

And thank you for the link, those tutorials look very useful indeed! I definitely need to learn to work with levels more, it's a tool that's still kind of mysterious to me. A lot of the tricks I know work well for modern stuff but here the line between "nice looking" and "washed out and gross" is very thin.
