Activity#32 - Textures!

[tinny]

I feel like making textures this month! Textures are the gift that keeps giving...! :D

This time, it's an inspirational activity, i.e. you can let the textures under the cut inspire you, but you don't have to stick to specific prompts.

If you've been meaning to turn those vacation pictures into textures for months (*cough like me cough*), you can do that!

Your textures have to be at least 100x100 in size, but they may be larger, too.

Would masks/other types of resources be okay?

Re: Questions?

[fueschgast]

Could you extend the activity, please?

[fueschgast]

[abyss_valkyrie]

Wow, these are so lovely! I especially like 7, 9 and 11. Great work! :)

[aurora_amethyst]

Oh, wow! These are absolutely gorgeous! My favorites are 1, 3, 7, 9, and 10.

I especially liked how you have sparkles and stars in #3.

[abyss_valkyrie]

4 more of the types of textures I usually like using for icons! The last one is more of a texture I guess that can be used over images. And that's it! :D

omg wow I adore the soft pastel ones! Sooo pretty! I immediately tried to make some like them for myself (and pretty much failed :D).

I'm snagging those for sure!

[mintsnow]

Loving these, awesome job!

[seraphina_snape]

I love the one with the stars and the soft colours in 7-10. So pretty!

[sandy79]

Such beautiful textures! Snagged them all, will definitely use them in the future (of course with credits!)

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, these are so pretty and fun!

[sheliak]

I really love that last circle frame! And the leaves are also really pretty.

[aurora_amethyst]

This is a far departure from my usual style of textures, but I really enjoyed trying out some new techniques and styles for this activity.

I'll eventually post these in a zip file.... probably after Christmas.

[abyss_valkyrie]

That crown one is sooo nice,definitely gonna use it soon!My other faves are 4,8,12,15,16,19 and 20!

[tinny]

I love the slightly asymmetrical lines (6, 15, 16) especially, but the grungy ones are cool, too, and the last two are amazing! <3

I'm definitely snagging those!

[mintsnow]

WOW! great job on these!! I particularly like the crown

[lavenderspark]

I've never made textures before, so this was something fun to try! If you have any advice/concrit, I will gladly take it! I have no idea what I'm doing lol.

I also noticed as I was posting this, my image site changed my file from a bmp to a png... I'll have to see if I can fix it.

[tinny]

Ooooh, I love the second and third ones!

Also: png is a lossless compression format which is preferable to bmp (which is uncompressed), so that shouldn't be a problem. You can leave it like this!

[mintsnow]

[aurora_amethyst]

Oh, my goodness! These are gorgeous! My favorites are #4-8! ❤ ❤ ❤

Will use with credit!

[aurora_amethyst]

It's always nice to have some b&w textures! I like the cool striped effect!

Textures Galore!

[tinny]

Umm... I may have gone a tiny little bit overboard... :) but it was fun!

I made 5 texture packs, here are two 100x100 examples of each pack, plus the larger textures I made.
I posted everything to icon_resources where you can download them separately, or as zip files from my deviantArt account TinnysArt.

The marble and architecture sets are made from my own vacation photographs.

The patterns are made in Photoshop and are inspired by the textures you all submitted and that I loved so much I wanted to try it myself.


architecture

marble

patterns


Some of them are larger than 100x100:

[tinny]

Making textures is indeed fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I love the swirls especially, but I'm sure the lines and the beach textures will come in very handy, too! Snagging... pretty much all of them! :D

[fueschgast]

I'm done \o/! I'm so done! I made masks for airbrushed backgrounds à la Sailor Moon (brush #3 is a version of the doily used in this image), but only heart-shaped ones for now.


Download the set.

[tinny]

Wow OMG those are amazing! And they look like they were a ton of work to make. I can already tell that they're going to be extremely useful textures! <3

[thisbluespirit]

I nearly forgot I made some - I did them a while ago and then went away:

Four I did, experimenting with the tutorials (thanks for those):



And then I did a small set using a family history document as a source & my previous icontalking set for colouring:
