Okay...this is the beginner's tutorial for textures and blendings. I've made this with Photoshop 7, but it works for pretty much every Photoshop (and every other picture programme)

Beta: banana53080, mascaret and muchos thankos for it *huggles* (all mistakes you still see are entirely mine)Note: I wrote this as a little cheer-up for missbevcrusher who planned on writing last weekend but somehow couldn't. So, I sat down while babysitting and wrote this - however, it took forever until I typed it up and then...well...to make a long story short...here you go

Title: Fear

Summary: Written for the original prompt: "What are you afraid of?" - Joseph has a moment of fear.

As if things aren't busy and crazy enough, I had to challenge myself. Smart move *smacks self* So, I went and challenged myself - inspired by the gorgeous comm btlstr_hiatusca - to make a banner for each episode of Battlestar Galactica (and no...no exclusive A/R, though they are never far)

Anyway....now I give you...Mini and Season 1

( Take a look )

Comments and tips are very welcome...I'm doing this to improve my photoshopping skillz and to try out new things...so, please comment.

Also...something I found quite interesting - I was trying to avoid doing too much A/R or too much A or R...however...one interseting thing occured to me: There is quite an intense hinting towards the building/existing family ties in the Adama family - I think I captured it in the banner for You Can't Go Home Again - so often you can take the interactions between those four and realize, this is family action. Interesting...really...

Alright, this might be a severe exaggeration, but anyway...in here are the banners I've received for completing challenges or winning positions in icontests.
