Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

I had hoped to share the icons I made for the Halloween Challenge in 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 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:)

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 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.


Chairoscuro - Strong Contrasts between light and dark


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

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

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 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 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


2. Train sigtag


3a. Donkeys sigtag + 3b Donkey icon


4. Citrus sigtag


5a. Apples sigtag + 5b Apples icon


6. Avocado sigtag
