More Icons - Blakes 7 Ones This Time

[debris4spike]

I spent some time looking at GIMP and beginning with a few of the basics and made some icons based on Blakes 7.  These are my first Blakes 7 Icons ... and all are taken from Series 3, Sarcophagus, using screen caps from The Blakes 7 Image Gallery

Lovely work. I took a look at GIMP and my eyes glazed over. I am no computer geek. I was totally lost.

I felt similar ... but I am slowly working through the GIMP help page - here ... and that gave me some basic basics ... I stopped when I got to description of colour, as it was late - but I now have a sort-of idea about the painting, so a long way to go, but I'm positive.

It amazes me you think you can't do them - I love your icons ... I say again, I'm jealous of the sigh one!

You mean this one?

I took the photo and cropped it using my HP Photosmart Premier. It was on my computer. Guess my son put that on my computer or it came with it. I resized it using that program.

Then I went to this site: http://www.lunapic.com/editor/

There I added the words and made it fade in and out. lunapic is pretty simple to use.

Yes - that's the one!

all_choseny had mentioned lunapic - so I shall have a look at that, Thanks.

Lovely Icons,

Just wondering how do you start with an icon?

I try to get an Icon from pictures I took but when I resize them they are so small that you don't see what I've done.

Thanks - I suppose I crop the picture to about 350 pixels square ... then I attempt to add text ... and then shrink to the 100 ... then realise it's all gone wrong!!

I love thaticon you use of Hummer, your daughter and the word cute ... that works well.

Thanks, I'm going to try that and see what comes out. Perhaps the pictures are no good for making an Icon, but I WILL NOT give up.LOL
