In between moderating and making artworks for the SPN_ReverseBang, I'm also still playing in [livejournal.com profile] landofart. Here's an update from the latest few challenges. (I handed in Golden Tickets for Ch. 8 + 10 so I could skip on creating anything for those, saving valuable time and energy;). I made quite a few animations, I'm putting them behind the cut to not overwhelm the flist. Would love to hear what you think of these though, so come take a look!

Challenge 03: Hide & Seek - Round 4 )
Challenge 06: Two Color Adventures )

Challenge 11: Remember Me )

Diana Riggs (20 July 1938 – 10 September 2020) & Rutger Hauer (23 January 1944 – 19 July 2019)

I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to participate in that last one, because it was a painful subject, and it turned out to be bittersweet to create these graphics. But it was also a nice way to remember these people <3

I had hoped to share the icons I made for the Halloween Challenge in [livejournal.com profile] landofart, but they had to be submitted anonimously for voting in the community, and that is still going, so I can't show them yet;) Instead, I'm catching up with the latest two rounds of the Hide & Seek Challenge that runs all phase long. In this challenge we get to create different graphics using different techniques or themes. Each design is also a vote for that technique/theme and only the most popular ones move on to the next round. My favorites usually don't survive, but hey, I get to try new techniques every round, haha!

For Round 2: MultiColour Background, Chairoscuro and Knockout Text )

For Round 3: Astronomy, Prop, Animated and a final Chaisoscuro )

Popclaw from the Boys. I can't believe I got this glitch effect to work; I split the original photo in coloured transparant layers, moved them a little off to the side and then added brushed scratches to make it look even more distorted.

I love experimenting in Land of Art a lot:)

I want to make an effort to post my [livejournal.com profile] landofart challenges in order, even though they are not always set up in numerical order in the community. Challenge number 5 was done a while ago and was an individual challenge. For challenge number 4 teams of six people had to work together to create icons for colorbars, which took some time to organize. I joined three other Steampunk teams as a member and put one team together myself.
Now that the team effort for challenge 4 is finally handed in, I'm catching up with posting here again:)

Phase 15 - Challenge 4 - Colorbar Teamwork )

Phase 15 - Challenge 5: Hm that looks interesting
This challenge was about creating billboards, a format I had not used before. Out of the two sizes, I went with the larger 900x400 dimensions. The billboards had to include at least one image, the character name and what show/movie they are from. I decided to go with female characters from The Boys, Grace, Annie, Charlotte & Kimiko )

Would love to hear what you think of these, whether you're watching The Boys or not:)

Had a marvelous mini vacation in a fancy hotel in Haarlem earlier this week. Will put up a picspam or two (or three) later:) First I want to catch up with my [livejournal.com profile] landofart graphic design posts. This is the first round of the Hide & Seek challenge that runs through the whole phase. You create a piece of art based on the theme/technique that you want to vote on and the themes with the most votes will continue on to the next round.

I'll put the bigger pieces behind the cut, have some sigtags as teaser with the chosen theme/technique underneath.

Typography - Is about using different fonts, and how you place them.

Tumblr Graphics of Hermione (Emma Watson) and also the sea )

Unsurprisingly two of my favorite themes (Double Exposure & Pop Art Style) were cut, so I get to try other techniques in Round 2;)

For this Phase [livejournal.com profile] landofart has two teams again to "fight" in the friendly competition to keep everyone motivated:) Together we create Challenge Leader Banners to be used to announce the winner of each Challenge.
We also all make Comment Banners for our mod to accompany the standard comment categories: Questions, Squee or Yay, Team Renaissance, Team Steampunk (in any variation of those teamnames).
For challenge 2 of Phase 15 I made 4 challenge leader banners, and two sets of 4 comment banners.

Preview:

The full sets )

I decided to go extra colourful this time:) Comments/Questions of all kind are welcome!

So I haven't posted since August, but I have been busy on LiveJournal. With Supernatural not ending after all, but keeping fandom in suspense for another few months, I decided to start up a new round of the [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang. I have been dealing with the sign-ups, claims and schedule for the past few weeks:) Very happy that all the artworks found authors! Now everyone is busy with their collabs to create awesome fic and art combos to comfort us in November, when we will be in the middle of the final season of Supernatural at last!

After the dust settled in that community, another one of my favorite creative corners opened up again and I've been playing in Phase 15 at [livejournal.com profile] landofart since last week. I will be sharing my graphic designs regularly from now. Here's the first challenge!

Phase 15: Challenge 1 - Tag It
This sigtag/team icon challenge comes with a twist; usually we create sigtags or icons for ourselves, this phase we had to make templates only. Then other land of art members could ask for their username and team to be included in the design. (A sigtag is to be used as a signature banner when you hand in assignments:) I'm in Team SteamPunk this time, but got some requests from Team Renaissance as well, yay!

I made 3 stand alone sigtags and 3 sigtag/icon sets. Below are the templates as well as all the different versions I made for my fellow land of arters. It was a fun experiment in typography:)

Sigtag & Icon Templates
1a. Beach sigtag + 1b Beach icon

If you have any questions about images or fonts, let me know!
