Add it up!

I made a couple of wallpapers today. I was completely inspired by an awesome fanmix made by literarylemming (thank you for the inspiration, btw) to hunt down new Heroes pics. Next thing I knew I was making the art. Yay!

I think I've become a Peter/Claire shipper. I didn't mean to. Especially after finding out their relation to one another. Still, they have some damn fine chemistry onscreen. Damn fine.

Anyway. I have them both in widescreen [1280x800] but they're not uploaded. So, if you want them you gotta shout it out.

Lastly, since oddmonster asked with such enthusiasm, the books I recently bought from Amazon are ...
In the Company of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez
Agents of Light and Darkness, Hex and the City, and Nightingale's Lament by Simon R. Green
The Dark Flight Down by Marcus Sedgwick
Un Lun Dun by China Mieville (ps, there's a little accent over the first "e")

I also bought (recced by the lovely and talented Sepra) Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman because I've been looking for a good book to buy on how to eat better and she recced it at the perfect time. Serendipity, my friends. Serendipity.

I've seriously gone on long enough.

How did you do the boxy things in the "pinup girl" one? That is a neat effect.

That was harder than I thought it would be. I duplicated the small pic of Hayden 3 times then I added the picture frame brush on a new layer over the first copy and cropped it down to the size I wanted. I merged the brush layer with the pic layer. Then I put another picture frame brush on a new layer over the second copy, cropped it down and merged the two layers. Lather, rinse, repeat. I then rotated each of the layers until they looked properly scattered and lined them up so they made the whole picture again.

Then, just to make it interesting, I duplicated each of the pic (with brushes) layers, rotated them and put them under the lined up layers.

There's probably an easier way of doing it. I just don't know what that would be.

Thanks for asking, btw.
