It's alive!

Sadly it needed a reboot of windows but I didn't lose any of my icons, pictures and music... sadly have to reinstall photoshop before I can create but I did spend time playing games.

Now I have to play the if you were a disc that went back into a jewel case last seen last November where would you be... what box would you be in and why can't you be in the first box I look in?

But my computer is working at least.

Yay for the computer working and you'll be able to find the disc somewhere. It's not as if it can simply run off :)

Whenever you're ready for icons let me know and I'll adjust any due dates for claims you want to keep :)

Found it! Then I spent some of the night, (the rest of the night was spent enjoying multiplayer games with Ian since ever other Wednesday after his classes we enjoy a day off before he has to go back to studying Electrical systems and scary looking equations) playing in photoshop. ^_^ Didn't do too badly at it... although my image looks to sharp at the end since I've lost my sharpening settings and can't seem to find something that I like. Lots of practice will be needed for me. LOL.

^_^ I'll check out due dates after sleep. *Looks at time* 48 hours without sleep! No wonder my eyes are blurry!

:D
Sharpening is an art of it's own and depends quite a lot on the image quality. I've had some images where I had to sharpen with 100+% and others where I barely scratched 50% (using unsharp mask(?) at about 0,5 diameter - hopefully I picked the correct words withouts checking a translation list)

Some already expired, but I think I also noted "on hold" for most of them (at least I did for dailyicons, I'm less sure about dailyicons)

If you want to get back into the swing of it - doctorwho20in20 has only 5 participants this round and I kept the sign ups open. It's a special round with screencaps provided (kinda like an icon battle)

I already feel really tired and I did get some sleep last night! I don't know I could have lasted that long! Sleep well!

:-D Yay! The image I spent forever coloring doesn't look pixelated around galadriel's face!

Close enough, radius not diameter but I could figure it out. That was my problem I had the radius on the default and couldn't get any of the sharpening tools to produce a decent image.

^_^ I'll check out dw20in20...

I'd slept through most of a two week period since my allergies were bad and only responding to benedryl which always sends me to sleepy land... so when I weened myself off of benedryl I found myself unable to sleep and full of more energy than I knew what to do with.

Then I crashed for about 16 hours, healthy sleep cycles what's that?

:D

Maybe I should have checked my own PS for that one ;)

And since I'm currently recking 20in20s to you (I won't call it begging, especially in this case) - I opened up a new 20in20 here on DW: lotr20in20 which actually only has 3 participants. I'm hopefuly that it'll see more activity in the next couple of rounds. After all dailyicons took a while to attract users as well :)

That sucks! The allergies I mean and the screwed up sleep cycle. I hope this returns to more normal sleep cycles soon!
