Good day to you all,
I have come to inform you of the Eight I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts.
The Eight “I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts”
- I’d really rather you didn’t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain. Besides, this isn’t about them so don’t change the subject.
- I’d really rather you didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
- I’d really rather you didn’t judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we’re talking about fashion and I’m sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.
- I’d really rather you didn’t indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is go fuck yourself, unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.
- I’d really rather you didn’t challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bitches.
- I’d really rather you didn’t build multi million-dollar synagogues/churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
- Ending poverty
- Curing diseases
- Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.
- I’d really rather you didn’t go around telling people I talk to you. You’re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?
- I’d really rather you didn’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it’s a piece of rubber. If I didn’t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.
I hope you will all remember these wise lessons for the future.
Farewell,
Keden

I made this tutorial a very long time ago (over 2 years
) but I decided to share nonetheless.
Well here we go:
First open a 600×600 px document with white background.
Then you select your paintbucket.

Fill your background with black.
Get a nice brush and put the foreground colour to white.
Now brush the whole background (not too thick).
Add a color balance:

Use a colour you like [I'm going to use blue].
Duplicate your layer Layer >> duplicate layer >> ok (or ctrl+j).
Then make anorther color balance with a colour that fits the first one (in my part green)
Now do Filter >> Render >> Clouds.
Do this on all your colour balance layers.

If you think the coulours are still too bright then you can still delete one.
Now hit CTRL+SHIFT+E.
Duplicate the “background”layer and go to filter >> blur >> gaussian blur, make the radius 3 px.
Put the blending mode to Lighten :

Now CTRL+E.
Now you can copy it and paste it into a sig.

Hi again,
After I had finished my new Blog Banner (which you can see
), I decided to keep going with Glow Effects.
I ended up with what I have here, and I’m quite satisfied
.
Thanks for checking this out,
Keden

Hi everyone,
Well first of all I’m not sure what I should put in here, since I’ve never blogged before. Anyway I’ll have a go
(I doubt anyone will be reading this anyway >_>).
I’ve got vacation for 2 weeks now, so I’ve got plenty of time for my favourite hobby: Graphics! I just don’t have any ideas hehe. So I’ve been brainstorming for quite a while, but nothing much good came out. I reckon it’s just got to come to me.
Well once I get going on a piece I bet I’ll have more to write about, but this is it for now
.
Thanks for reading,
Keden
