Jacky's Gallery

[Jacky]

As you probably know, I do digital art. It's one of the very few things I'm decent at, unless you count putting my feet behind my head. Anyways, at the moment I do LotR, Star Wars, and I've just started Harry Potter. I'm only going to put my better works up, though just for kicks I'll throw in my first blend =P They're strangely alphabetical... tee hee, that's the joy of copy and pasting from directories. ;P

This one was resized from a blend entry... that's why it's 1024x751, not 768 *shhh*

This is one of the originals... eurgh... GIFs... lol

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/galadriel/altariel.gif

I think this was the 3rd blend I ever did, and the only Gollum one.

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/gollum/gollum.gif

This one's rather unnatural, as it's 800x600. Yepp, blend entry.

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/DotFA_HoH.jpg

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/aragornscoronation.jpg

This one I was experimenting with using a lot of pics in a blend, you'll see I used the same one several times.

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/eowyn_aragorn_edoras.jpg

Also an earlier blend, I liked it at the tme, but then I made my computer brighter and I can see that I didn't completely erase the edges... oops.

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/rememberthisday.gif

Of course you all remember this one...

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/road_hobbits.jpg

I got second place for this one at Fate of the Evenstar, which is closed now =( At the time I liked it, not so much now though...

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/whydoyousaythis.jpg

Again, an early blend. Low quality, but then I didn't understand GIFs... stupid things. they should only be used for animations and link buttons, which I am newly infatuated with making...

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/group/itwasagooddream.gif

Another blend entry, so it's 800x599...close enough =P

secret-whispers.com/graphics/wallpaper/other/argonath.jpg

Third place for this in the Dreams of the Fourth Age wallpaper contest... not bad, considering there were a lot of other better entries.

Now comes Star Wars...

When my dad found out he was getting layed off, he let me install the Photoshop CS trial on his work laptop, so I was experimenting with Photoshop effects when I got this one.

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/01.jpg

<shrieks> Aaagh! Pink!! Well I turned an unfinished blend job into a kinda cool effect, check the bottom right corner...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/02.jpg

I was really mad at someone when I made this, so I just kept overlaying reddish textures onto Padmé, and she looks like she wants to kill me now...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/03.jpg

Ok, so maybe that cool unfinished blend thing only works sometimes. This is a case where it, sadly, did not work out. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!! =P

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/04.jpg

Not a fan of this one either...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/05.jpg

This one I used as a layout on my blog, but the brown spot makes Natalie look like she has a mole...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/06.jpg

Just a variation of the previous one

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/07.jpg

I had that freakin' Papa Roach song stuck in my head, so I decided to drown it out in a crappy wallie. Evil laugh!! But that part was so sad... <sobs hysterically>

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/08.jpg

I like this one, a simple blend featuring my favorite effect.

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/09.jpg

This one's a Photoshoppie too, on my dad's iMac. More experimentation with lots of pics, and it didn't come out right. I just realized it looks like her head is up the other Natalie's skirt... I swear, that was unintentional...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/10.jpg

A friend of mine has this as an avatar, co I screencapped it and made a wallie. The base is a texture from sky.ti-fi.com. I thought it was highly amusing.

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/11.jpg

This feats. a quote form "The Revenge of the Sith" by Matthew Stover. I went, awwe, so I made a wallie.

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/12.jpg

You've probly seen this one too, it's the one Aaron told me to make...

secret-whispers.com/stars/images/wallpapers/13.jpg

Non-fantasy

Again, experimentation with many pics...

secret-whispers.com/art/wallpapers/jen_aniston.jpg

Lots and lots of pics...

secret-whispers.com/art/wallpapers/livblend.jpg

I was in a bizarre mood for this one... and someone gave me the quote, so I did it with 2 totally unrelated actresses- Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley. Weird combo...

secret-whispers.com/art/wallpapers/youknowyouloveme.jpg

That's all for wallies, at least that I'll show you.

I only did Star Wars so far for these. They're in the order I did them

Ok, I'm done. I'll update when I make new stuff. =)

[Nellethiel]

[Jacky]

*smiles* i thought we all do? ;D
but i must say, you are really good! *bows*. very professional work.

[Jacky]

Hehe, thank you Garath, but I am no profesional, merely an amateur.

Ok, I said I'd update when I did more. I have now a very bad experience with fanlistings { PHPFanBase in particular } so I screwed up the members page and the join form doesn't work. No matter. I like the layout, kinda sorta. You can see it in action here.

[Envin]

Hey, nice, Mizz Jackers! That's really cool, I'll join! I only know one of the three huntresses, but that's good enough for me.

Small suggestion: you mispelt crazy on the homepage

[Jacky]

How the **** did I do that?? I mean, it was intentional... really...

{ Thank you }

[Envin]

Yups, sure ya did. *calls typo police*

[Jacky]

I'm the typo *Queen*, they won't come after me =P

Okies, so I said I'd update. I will. I made this originally for the Doomed to Fade layout challenge, so it said Doomed to Fade then, but I edited it. =P

And my friend asked for a little banner for her site, so I whipped this up in about 2 minutes.

[Envin]

Nice job, esp that layout - very cool!

And, yes - they will get you, cuz they're so tired of getting calls to take care of you...

[Dorlas]

Cool stuff, Jacky!

[Jacky]

=P Thankies, Aaron, and Petra!

I refuse to use them, I give them pension, sick leave, booze, drugs, they really can't complain. =P

[Envin]

I thought so! So you are like the Typo Mafia, right? *offers Jackers a trench coat and cigar*

[Jacky]

<snaps her fingers and points at Aaron like those "guns" little kids do and raises eyebrows>

Right on.

<puts on trenchcoat and pulls down sunglasses>

And these are my associates.

<five men appear> Manuel, Miguel, Gustav, Gunther, and my favorite, Leonardo. { The original sexy Mexican men... long story.... }

Ooh, cigar.... are they Cuban?

[Envin]

Yes, they are Cuban, and if neither you nor your men will mind, then I shall light it for you.

Read somewhere that a man must always look into a woman's eyes when lighting her smoke.

*lights Cuban, staring into Jackers' eyes with an unwavering stare*
