I love the Knightly one. Very paper doll effect.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I'm really pleased with that one. I think it's my fav out of these two. Thanks cassiee. :D

I was just looking at your lastest post and wondering what you meant by 3/4? 3/4 of cm, feet?

[cassiee.livejournal.com]

inches, actually.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Hmm you want 3/4 translated into inches? So what are the initial measurements that you have?

Maybe us Brits have a different way of writing measurements...

[cassiee.livejournal.com]

Umm, I guess in decimals? I need to plug it in Quark, and I can't say 3/4, like 8 1/2 is I am assuming 8.5 X etc

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I thought I might be able to help but I don't think I can. :( Hopefully someone else will know.

[cassiee.livejournal.com]

Thank you for trying to anyway!

New styles! Beatiful, both of them, but that KK one really grabbing me. Very unique, while also being very very pretty.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yep, I just can never stick with one style! I'll try and do this tomorrow and you watch, it just won't happen. lol

Very glad you like them both as I am pleased with these. :D

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh man...I just reread my comment and the typos are killing me. Glad you managed to get the message. People are going to stop believing English is my first language. :P

(Love that icon as well. :])

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I never even noticed the typos until you just pointed them out. lol Both our brains must be frazzled. Zzzzz Do you think you will be posting a new vidlet today? *poke*

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness I wish. Next couple of days though hopefully. I've decided Dru is up next. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Dru with "Spanish Doll"? Yay! :D

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Hee, yep. Hope to get most of my source ripped tomorrow after I go to bed. Like, now. ;D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Talking of bed - I need my bed too. Zzzz I'm so looking forward to this vid. No pressure though. ;) Sleep well.

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

Thanks Zohar!

Ooh such style and imagination Charmax - Keira Knightley as victorian decoupage - it reminds me a little of flower fairies books too. Such a wonderful wall.

The Jennifer one is very interesting too. Love the brollies.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks Andrea, a decoupage effect was exactly what I was going for. The Keira photoshoot just seemed to really call for it.

The brollies on the Jennifer one is a stock image. I am trying to use stock images more often because I find them really interesting.

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

WOW, Charmax these are breathtaking, seriously, I love the Keira one, it looks like it’s taken directly from a fairy tale book and I really love the paper and aging effect in this. So beautiful and elegant. The Jennifer one is also terrific, the background here is amazing and so extraordinary, everything just fits and she looks wonderful! I didn't think it was possible, but you just get better and better with each piece, it's totally unbelievable!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You make me blush Astarte. Such gushing feedback!

I don't know whether I keep getting better. I feel like I am still quite hit and miss I definitely have more than my fair share of discarded psds on my hard drive mocking me with their weirdness.

[sassykittenjess.livejournal.com]

Both of the walls are great, but I think I like the first one a bit more. I loved the photoshoot Keira Knightley did, and I think you used the images very well. It looks just like a page out of a story. And the colours in the Jennifer Garner one work so well. Great job!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I think I prefer the Keira one as well. I've done a lot of Keira pieces lately I think I need to focus on someone else for a while.lol

[charmax.livejournal.com]

oh and thanks for commenting!

[cookiekarmel.livejournal.com]

hi there charmax. i found your lj from art_battle, hope you dont mind :)

i just want to tell you that you did a fantastic job at art_battle. i'm a big fan of all your artwork there! the jennifer aniston one is my favorite. do you do tutorial?

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Hi, I don't mind you seeking my lj out.

I'm not particularly good at tutorials. I don't always remember all the steps I have taken. Also more often than not I don't have a specific plan when I start.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm glad you like my stuff. I wasn't at all sure about the Jennifer one so it is nice to get positive feedback for that.

[wand3rlust.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it is, but ever since I've seen those photos of Kiera they've freaked me out I just can't get over how creepy she looks in that whole photo shoot. Still, I like what you've done with them. I'm really loving your collage style walls, it's a refreshing break from photo blends.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks Melissa. :)

I really like that shoot myself, though it's definitly not her usual style. I really like making vintage arts so it leant itself perfectly to that.

As for the collage effect - More and more of my arts are going that way. I think you can be a lot more creative in what you do than with a standard blend. I'm really getting hooked on stock images and textures and those can really come into their own with the collage look.
