So, it's probably only impressive to me...

Once again self-teaching myself on Paint Shop Pro X. Wanted to make a rooster icon for my LJ, but it's a little too something to shrink it, I think. Still, kinda a cool banner thing, and it gave me more practice in making clean layer work.

Three layers--the granite background and the Kanjii I created myself. The rooster was taken from a random picture off of Yahoo.

Yes, as mentioned the rooster's kinda wonky--but also as mentioned, that looks like a hard picture to deal with. Maybe a stylized black-and-white rooster, although I agree it'd be more helpful if I'd STFU and find you one.

The kanji are very effective, and I like the textural change in backgrounds.

It's not Derek's insane little beady eyes peering from right at the edge of my monitor. I ♥ it.

Hehe, it's all right. Looks like Tahkys found me a few, so rooster problem solved. ^^

Thanks. I like working textures. 'Tis fun and actually kinda meditative for me. Actually, anything that has to do with coloring things in is meditative for me.

...Well, I still have that desktop. I could always put it back just for you! *eg*

You do that, and I'll screenshot, icon, and use it only to reply to you.

I will not be the only one with psycho eyes right above my start button. Oh, no.

Of course, if I keep spelling Takhys' name wrong, she may stop giving me wonderful presents. -_-;

Heh. It's much easier to spell in Greek. ταχς
