Whaaat? Almost 300 notes on that Arthur graphic —wow!— thank you so much! Since it seems so well liked, I would like to do the same style for other Merlin characters. Obviously next up will be Merlin himself! But I need an idea for a quote to use, so can I get suggestions???

*throws self out window*

Can someone send me a trial version of photoshop or something. I currently use gimp and I cannot make a gif that doesn’t look like poo. I need to find a way to make gifs that aren’t grainy and gross, please someone share your secret or I’m never getting on the internet again.

This is literally the best I can manage at the moment (and that’s only because I used lunapic):

This with just gimp and not lunapic:

RGB is lovely quality but gif forces me to index the file. The colors are so gorgeous but I just can’t get the quality the same as grayscale:

THE INTERNET IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANSWERS.

HELP.

I will visit the ask boxes of every graphic maker ever if I have to. I must make gifs that aren’t crappy. It is my goal in life. Ohmygoshplease.

Running off for a bit, but I threw some things in a queue.

Also, some things:

• Follow atlaconfessions; because The Last Airbender may be one of the best kid shows to exist ever.
• I want graphic suggestions. I need a muse. Particularly if it involves Merlin, Harry Potter, or Disney.
• To my British friends: I want Pudsey, but the link doesn’t seem to be working, and I don’t even know if I (an American) can get it. But I want it!!!
• My Merlin family is still looking for members! :)

That’s all, folks! Be back in a bit.

All I’ve eaten today is a granola bar about an hour ago, and all I’ve accomplished is scrolling through tumblr and fiddling with graphic design. No wonder I haven’t lost a pound. (And yes, I do mean that. If you hardly eat anything but you do still eat, what you do choose to eat will really stick to your body since it thinks you’re starving. So my habits of not eating anything but dinner are ruining me. At least I’m going to the gym almost every day.)

A look at my current project(s):

FYI, do you know how hard it is to make graphics that look like they could be photoshop quality without having photoshop? IT’S VERY DIFFICULT. Props to my fellow GIMP users out there.
