November's Featured Icon



Bobbie


About the Icon:

Explain what we're seeing in this icon:
The picture is of Ron, it was originally from when he was getting his dance lessons but once I removed McGonagall from the picture it seems to change completely. He just looks so sad. I put 'love' because I see it as him without Hermione... which we all know is going to happen.

What programs did you use to make it?
Photoshop CS2

How long have you been working on icons?
Just over a year, I'd made a few bad ones in MS Paint before that but only really started when I was given Photoshop 6 by a teacher of mine.

What was the process involved in the conception and creation of this icon?
I made this a while ago, but I'll try my best to remember. Let's see, first I got a screen cap from Harry Potter Hollywood - After looking through I finally found the one I wanted of Ron. After getting the image to the right size I had to get rid of what could still be seen of McGonagall. So I erased everything but Ron and then pasted him onto a different part of the same picture.Then I spent some time changing the lighting and making the picture sharper. I don't pay much attention to this I just experiment until I get the right look.Once I had all this done I added the writing that is too small to read with a brush from deviantART (sorry I don't remember which it was) and finally the word 'love' with the scriptina font.

Is there somewhere that we can find more of your icons?
I haven't got a lot posted in one place, I have a few on LivejournalIcons. I wanted to start an LJ for my icons but I'm hopeless at them.

Do you have any advice for icon artists that want to make icons of your caliber?
I was lucky, I've always wanted to make something like this but only had MS Paint, which is useless. I have a very kind teacher who gave me a copy of Photoshop 6 and soon after CS2. All I've ever done is experiment with the program to see what works and what doesn't. My addiction is using brushes that I've downloaded.
