Big Bla

[beelikej]

Received the official offer from the buildingsociety for buying my apartment. As expected the real estate agent made a higher estimate than the one I used to apply for a mortgage, so I will have to go to the bank again to see if I'm worthy. I've also realized it's not just that loan that's going to change my financial situation; I also have to consider taxes (tax-returns?) and additional costs for ownership of a house. *sighs* I'm already tired of playing the adult.

Why are there no new Big Bang stories in the weekend? I could use the distraction. Although it's rather intimidating to see the art that has been made so far. Jeebus. Even if you're not in the SPN/J2 fandom, you should check out this artwork:
woodstarling made beautiful character cards for "A Spotlight On These Desolate Dreams" by mournthewicked.
And dauntdraws's glorious graphic drawings make me wish there was a whole comic of "SuperCross" by lazy_daze.

The various Photoshop artists have suprised me in both good and bad ways. It's not in my nature to feel insecure about my work, but it has been a bit overwhelming to see all the different kinds of styles;) The only thing I am a tiny bit worried about is the pixelsize of my art. Since I usually work for high resolution printwork, size has always been an issue when making online designs, so to force myself to keep things LJ-friendly I am working with a 600 pixel width maximum for my banners. Seeing some people post HUGE artwork makes me wonder if I shouldn't have started out big as well. I really don't feel like building from scratch again. Oh well, the 'big' in 'bang' is really only meant for the wordcount of the stories, right? RIGHT? *bites lip*

Aww I'm sure it'll be awesome, don't be insecure!

And yees, I remember all the house buying crap. It costs a retarded amount of money. But at least you're spending money towards something you'll own, compared to just paying rent and basically not having anything in the end? You can do it!

Well, I think size is based on the artist.

I usually go with these sizes for the art them size them down with lj for the post with a link to the larger size.

Banners - 800x360 or 800x400
Wallpapers - 1920x1200 (widescreen)| 1600x1200 (fullscreen)| 1024x768 (Standard)| 800x600 (Old Standard)
Icons - 100x100
Soundtrack Art - 500x500

Those are just my numbers but I can tell you that 600 is a good width for banners! :D

Hey, knowing your work, I'm sure it's awesome. So don't worry.

I totally know what you mean by being overwhelmed. The SPN fandom has so many awesome artists (like daunt) that I sometimes get a bit insecure. :'3 But hey, as long as people comment, I'm doing something right. :D
