Wellll... I ended up not getting the screencaps to work for me from the website link BK posted. I'm not sure what was wrong, but it apparently didn't work for my computer. Thankfully, I was still able to get the images I needed, and although the quality isn't as high, I'm content with how my things turned out.

Why not? They come in packaged in a .zip or .rar file which you have to unzip. Sometimes downloading the file takes long because, if you notice, each file has at least 3,000 screen caps. It usually takes about one minute in my laptop. But once the file downloads, extracting the caps is quick.
 
It took an hour for it to download, and then, when I tried to open the file, there was nothing in it and it said "invalid image". o.O

I've made some more graphics. Gondorgirl asked me to make a graphic with this certain picture. She said that if I made it into an avvie, she'd use it.

I've made one now, but if you don't like it, Elizabeth, you need not use it. ;) Neither of the ones I made are particularly wonderful. xP

And here are two that I made earlier, but somehow missed when uploading images to my photobucket earlier. (Spoiler warning!)

Ohohoho yay! I love all of them usual. :D

what program did you open it with? did you try a .zip program? there are various zip programs that open those packages, including winzip, winrar, and others. Do you have any of those? If you don't, you could use the one I use, which is a free zip program: http://www.jzip.com/

Download jzip and open the file with it. Once open, click on the folder you see, then select all and extract to a folder of your choosing. I just tested it and there are tons of caps in it. TONS!

Okay, thanks! :D

Here are some new graphics!

This first one I made a few days ago with a quote from the Oscar Wilde play "The Importance of Being Earnest". *audience gasps* Yes, a graphic unrelated to Doctor Who! What a shock!
The picture in the background is one I took some of my own journals. I'm had trouble getting the words to show up, but all in all I'm satisfied. I like the coloring and sparkles. :D

I really like this next one. *sniffles*

Now here are links to some more graphics I made from the latest Doctor Who episode.

Of these, I think I prefer the second.
 
I REALLLLLLY like this one! The effect and fonts are 100% PERFECT!

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/Panda_Incognito/Sensational.jpg

This one Has a REALLY nice font and font colors... But I don't care for the pic itself, it looks like a nice one, just not the best quality...

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/Panda_Incognito/LongEnough2.jpg

Now for these two:

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/Panda_Incognito/TheGirlWhoStoppedWaiting-1.jpg

I like the first better... I don't know much about Dr. Who though so it really depends on the mood I guess! Anyway GREAT job!
 
Okay, thanks! :D

I LOVE THAT PLAY!!! :D

And the Doctor Who graphics are awesome too.

Thanks! It isn't very good quality, and nor is it an awfully appealing picture, but that one's Doctor Who too, and I really, really loved that scene, thus the picture is special to me.

Now for these two:

On second thought, I like the first better two. The colors are more interesting on the second, but the first graphic looks more balanced.


GG, that's awesome! :D I didn't know you'd read it! :D I love it too.

Of these, I think I prefer the second.

Ooh, I like it!:D The picture is perfect for the quote.

I'm sure I'll love that one even more once I understand it.:p

"Do not look, do not look..." You're killing me, D!
 
First off, remind me to check your thread more often. When I don't, I get waaay behind and it's hard to cram all your awesome stuff into just one post!

This first fez one is the best. *giggle* It's awesome. xD

STUPIDFACE! I love it! It's perfect. xD We all love Rory, don't we? <3

"Girl Who Waited" is good, but like you said, not exceptional.

I like the font and color of the text in "Fighting to the End", but you could work on placement of both the image and the text.

"Gift of Days" is great, and the first is by far the best. The font in the others doesn't really work, but the font in the first is perfect.

I love the font choices and colors in "Growing Old". It's a little gritty, but with improved image quality, it'd be stunning. It's probably my favorite of this set, in all honesty.

The masking thing (brush?) in the middle panel of "36 Years" is great, and I think you should employ it in the other two panels as well. Give it a uniform look.

"Most Beautiful" is good and I like the idea. Personally, I think it might look better if you tried text sculpting, sizing words of importance larger than other words. That helps bring direction, clarity, and impact to a large block of text.

"Don't Let Me In" is good, but I think you could improve it. (I'll critique it further in person, 'kay?)

Both versions of "Being Her" are great. I like the semi-monochrome look with the blue, but I think I prefer the texture. It's subtle, yet adds depth and interest. In regards to the text block on the left, I think you could utilize text sculpting to great effect.



Of the two Doctor avvies, I like the second best; the coloring is better.

"Betrayal" is very good. The image quality is not the best, but I like what you did with it.

The "Hands" collages are nice, but I think only meaningful to those who have seen the episode and understand the significance. Otherwise, they are just a bunch of juxtaposed pictures of hands. xP

"Oh, Yes I Am" is great. The text positioning could be better, but I understand the constraints of graphic making, so it's not a big deal. What the text actually says makes me feel all "squee xD" inside, but that's beside the point.

"Old Amy" is fantastic. The font color is great, and I love how you nested the text, slightly fading the background text. <3 I think the text might look a tad better if it was straight, but I'm not going to quibble because other than that, it's awesome.

*squee* I absoballylutely love what you did with the journals. All colorful and sparkly and a quote from "The Importance of Being Earnest", no less!

"Long Enough" is brilliant. I love the color and the font you used for the bottom text. The top text might look better if it was serif instead of sans, but whatever. The position of the text is grand. Make more like these! xP

As for "The Girl Who Stopped Waiting", I like the color of the text on the second better, but prefer the position of the text on the first. I understand there are constraints with the modes, but if there was a way to have one's cake and eat it too, it would be perfect. By no means am I saying I dislike the text color of the first: I like it. I simply prefer that of the second.

And that, I believe, wraps up this post. *collapses*

You're funny. xD Thanks for all the critique!

As for "growing old", I would like to eventually get a better quality image of that scene and remake the graphic.

With "The Girl Who Stopped Waiting", I had to put the text in that position in order to get the color. I was doing an overlay setting.

With the brush in "36 years", I used it just to get the text to show up. xP I didn't really like the effect, which is why I did not add it to the other panels, however, I ought to go back and add them for the sake of uniformity.

Now, here are some new graphics!
I prefer the black and white ones, the second of which is my favorite.

Here is a link to a graphic I made out of of a photo I took. I really like the way it turned out. I added a watermark to it to identify it as mine. Sort of like a copyright. I've never done one before, but decided "better safe than sorry" and did it on this one. (I honestly don't see why anyone would want to pass off my graphics as their own, but hey, you never know. xD)

I chose "Panda Incognito" as my watermark, because it is my username on most any site I am a member of. I tried to place it in an inconspicous place, and would like advice. Is it too obvious? I'd hate for it to detract attention from the image itself. What would you suggest for improved positioning?

I will probably start watermarking any more graphics which I make that are mine. I can't watermark an graphic if the original image isn't mine, but I make graphics of a photo I've taken often enough that I ought to have a standard way of marking them as my own.
Without further ado.... Here's the link:
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/Panda_Incognito/ThoughtsofFlightwithwatermark1.jpg

And now some Doctor Who collages.
WARNING: These graphics contain spoilers for the endings of seasons 2, 3, and 4, as well as for the last episode [The God Complex] of Season 6.

First

Second

I am mostly content with how these turned out, but I decided to redo them with another picture of Rose. It looks odd to have one picture be blue and the others warm colors, so I found a picture of Rose that blends better with the images of other companions.

Third

Fourth

I love the first Happy Endings one a lot, I might borrow that one. ;)

That picture is really pretty, I would normally assume a watermark would be in a corner or on an edge but it's nice and inconspicuous right there.

I really like the one with the second picture of Rose, it does blend a lot better.

Oh, and the second link didn't work for me. O.o
 
Of "Happy Endings", my favorite is the first, the colored one. I really like the pops of red. Of the two black and white, my favorite is the second because of text size and placement. The graphic is very sweet and happy-ending-ish. <3

"Thoughts of Flight" is great, and the watermark is barely discernable when one isn't looking for it. Great job!

Of the collages, I like Three and Four the best. Rose blends much better when she isn't blue. :p ((Oh, and the link to Two is broken. Might want to fix that.))
The concept isn't exactly original, but I love the way you carried it out. The script font is perfect, and the images you used fit the mood very well. It also reminds me of the "Great, give me guilt," scene in "Let's Kill Hitler". Score. :p
