Okay I don't do tutorials because mainly I'm too lazy to type them up but also I hardly ever remember what I do exactly enough to write out a tut for it. Alot of it's happy accidents. Coloring, forget it. I don't understand most tutorials that I've seen, how am I expected to explain one of my own. But I will give you a VERY short guide to using my textures from this new batch.

There are 17 light effects textures, 9 text that includes tiny text and lyrics, and the rest is pretty random.





 

Okay I need some honest opinions. I'm getting ready to post Part 2 of my trilogy (Part 1) and I spend way too much time on the banner for it. It's been a while since I've made one and I need to know if it looks like crap or not. I'd really appreciate any critique.

Thank you....

Happy Independence Day!!!!

I'm adding this back after deleting it from my journal. One Moment More is almost finished (1 chapter to go) and I'm getting ready to start posting the second part of the trilogy which will also have a soundtrack for it. I know the art is kind of wonky but it's part of the fic banner I made for the story. For those of you who haven't downloaded this yet, I hope you enjoy.

Medium: FanFiction
Fandom: Roswell
Subject: Max and Liz
Title: One Moment More
Warnings: Kind of spoilerish for those who haven't read my fic.
Notes: This was made after a friend and avid reader told me she wanted all the songs I used while writing my fanfiction. It's very angsty and features Coldplay, Mindy Smith, Elisa, David Gray, VAST and many others. Here is the link to the fic if you're curious One Moment More


 

I had to post my newest obsession...Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I always liked him but I saw the movie August Rush (great movie) recently and an obsession was born. It didn't hurt that he's from the same area in Ireland that my grandmother is from (Cork). He's a great actor and singer and he's hot as hell in a very wild and unique way. I've never liked guys with blue eyes before but his are mesmerizing. The Tudors have ruled my world recently as well. Great show. I'm a major English history buff so at first I nit-picked it to death. But then I got into it and forgot the fact that the timeline was off completely. Can't wait for Season 2 to come out on DVD. I will be making icons for that show and JRM in the next batch. BTW I'm still a die hard Jason Behr fan and will always be. But its alright if my eye wonders elsewhere once in a while, right.

Ok if you're wondering who's the girl with Robert Pattinson in the icons below, it's Evan Rachel Woods. She's my Tanya. I've been intrigued by the idea of Tanya (that is my name after all) and what happened with her and Edward in Denali. He seemed a little too mysterious and quick with his answer. Don't get me wrong, I want him and Bella to be together.

Snagged this from sometimescrazy

Looks like I'm going to be busy, poor, but very happy. ;)

		I will marry henry cavill.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in england in our fabulous House.
		We will have 27 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a white VW beetle.
		I will spend my days as a nurse, and live happily ever after.

Ok I will admit that I was one of those who didn't like Robert Pattinson as Edward. I didn't think he was pretty enough and to be honest I thought he was strange looking. In interviews he always seem disheveled and uncouth--not Edward in the least. I mean, how was it going to be possible for this skinny pale English dude to pull it off. We all (me definitely included) have our ideas of Edward in our minds, held up in a lofty place. Who could really measure up to that? Well I think Robert can. I was wrong. I said it. I've known for awhile that he was the one after watching (drooling) all the videos that have been posted on lj for a couple of months now and with all the wonderful pictures that made me eat my words and sing a different tune about Mr. Pattinson. I may have thought he looked strange now I think he's strangely beautiful, someone Bella describes, as such, all throughout the books.

The movie just needs to come out already. I will be sitting in front of my TV tonight to watch the clip on MTV, in fact I'll probably tape it as well.

Here is a video of his hotness for his movie The Summerhouse. He looks so different in this. You have to wait till 1:56 to see him but it's worth it. And the I love the song, Into the Night by Motorhomes

Ok so I normally don't make SPN icons or Grey's but I thought since I loved the finales so much I'd give it a try. They probably look like crap but hey I tried, right.

Fic news: I finally posted CH7 of my trilogy One Moment More. Check it out. One more chapter to go and I'll be starting on Part 2.

10 song that I've been listening alot lately. Forgive me for some of the melancholy choices but that's what I listen to when I write.

Ok these really suck!! But I made them for a The Fanart Survivor Challenge at Roswell Heaven. The idea was since the Roswell DVD have gotten revamp (don't get me started on how much I hate it) why not make what the DVD covers would look like today if the show was still on the air or later seasons. I chose Season 5 for whatever reason.

Please forgive the misspelling on the back cover. I typed that up late at night so I could make the deadline. I wanted to do so much more with it since it was my concept but I just didn't have enough time. Don't laugh too hard.

*cries* The whole cast is growing up. Most of the cast is now married (Jason, Brendan, Katherine, Emilie, Majandra) and starting families. Brendan just became a daddy to a beautiful (big) baby girl. She so cute and he looks adorable with her.

I wanted to post this. This is a message from Brendan at his site.
