Since I've very fickle and randomly get bursts of creativity, I've chosen a new name for my graphic journal. Which, of course, requires a new account. So, I created a community to go with my main journal account. So all the entries already here will go into the memories section of the community (and the more important ones will be wholly copied over) and all new updates will go there.

For everyone who friended this journal, thanks so much, and I'd love to have you as a member of the new community. So, to make it easy, just click here to join. Remember to put it on your watch list; I'll be updating it as often as this journal :)

I think I'm a bit overdue for a new tutorial...So, now I'll show you how to go from
this to this or this
(I make at least 2 versions of everything. Can you tell? lol)

Made with PSP9 (translatable)

Ok, I've finally gotten every Rammstein video screencapped. YAY! And these are all thoroughly capped; 500-900 caps per video! So here they are, compiled into one post for convenience. Click the cuts for file info, preview pics and a download link for that video.

Very pic heavy beneath the cuts. Either 3 or 4 sample pics per set.

Note: You'll notice Links 2-3-4 and Benzin are missing. Links was left off since the band was only very briefly featured. Benzin was left out because the quality of the caps I could get were not of the quality I wanted. But if anyone really wants these caps, just comment and I'll gladly upload them. Also, if anyone wants higher quality caps of a section of a video, comment and I'll get them for you. I just can't recap a whole video in higher quality. The file size would be absolutely insane!

Yay, the rainy, crappy weather seems to make me pretty productive! And so I bring you yet another tutorial, featuring my very favorite topic...Richard Kruspe (Rammstein's lead guitarist and hottest guy...ever).

Going from
this to this

Made in PSP8. Only one step may not be avaliable in other versions/programs.

( Mmmm, Richard-y goodness )

Using a beautiful hibiscus I photographed back in July, this time I'll show you how to go from
this to this or this

This should work best on orignally dark-ish photos with a good amount of yellow and/or red. But I'm sure it can be tweaked to fit others better.

My little Italian Greyhound Tino was bugging me tonight while I ate dinner...And he inspired these :P

From mt icon folder cleaning, I decided to put these 7 Rammstein icons up for grabs. They're some of the few I have laying around not involved in my 100 Icon Challenge; they're mostly icons I made out of boredom and the rest were entries at ramm_icontest. Two of them won first and 2nd place :)
