Just letting people know that YES, I made the Anthony Warlow mood theme; took a while but I got there ((I've tagged this entry 2008 just to keep it near the top; it's actually 2006 lol)). Here it is if you just wanna see them all. If you want to use it as your own, click here to download. Then credit and enjoy!

Just like Anthony Warlow, I'm Back in the Swing with my 35th colouring tutorial. Thought he looked rather pale in the original picture ((with that ruffle-liscious hair ... !)) so here's one to sprouce up the skin and - you guessed it - the blues.

With Unexpected Song's LSS Mini-Convention on the horizon, here's my 34th colouring tutorial once again featuring Anthony Warlow during a photo shoot for The Phantom of the Opera ((the original pic and more can be found at ... umm ... wireimage.com?)). There are other icon examples below, plus the image the colouring originated from ((meaning, what I made before I decided to make icons with this colouring)). Please note that this works well for pale people against dark backgrounds; it doesn't work with everything, but as always this is just a guide and the fun is in tweeking ((I do understand it's a bit ... pinky red. If you take a look back through my other tutorials they mostly focus on blues, so here's me trying something new ... ish ...)).

Oh, and apologies for making the banner look a bit ... tacky. Funny how restrictions hinder my work.

FINALLY, at long last, here is the crummy tutorial I've been promising you, featuring the ever loveable Professor Remus Lupin.  I did this to not only brighten the image but also to enhance his skin whilst keeping a good reflection of blue ... and let's face it, there's a lot of blue.

I've held off long enough; I have told my tale on Unexpected Song, on MySpace, and ... that's all. So now - all you Warlovians, all you phans, and all you musical theatre buffs - I will share my tale with you. I will share the news I was bursting to tell the world once it occurred yet kept to myself until I returned home.

I will share with you the words from my Angel of Music, Anthony Warlow.

Close Enc-Ant-ers.

Each link in that first post leads to member's encounters - obviously - with Anthony Warlow. If you click the one with my name ((Marie-Cris)) it will lead you to the post in that thread which houses the pictures; the post which also houses the links to my review / letters to Unexpected Song I wrote during my one-week's holiday in Melbourne ((7 - 11 / 1 / 08)), explaining what I went through, what I felt about each showing of Phantom of the Opera ((which made it my second and third showing of Phantom and, in fact, any musical to date)), and more importantly, what happened after the shows.

Since you're on the site, do take the time to look over the Phantom of the Opera Australian Cast Recording and / or Filmed Stage Performance (Starring Anthony Warlow) Petition. So far we have 365 signatures ((plus something else, if you take the time to read the review / letters)). We aim for more, of course; will you add your name to the list?

Follow the linked banner to the petition thread. Feel free to grab any of the banner codes and help advertise; we would really appreciate it.

My unholy god, would you believe it?

Why ... Why why why why why did I do it? I only wanted Remus! *sigh* Oh well, here's a very simple colour enhancement trick for dark caps feat. Harry Potter:

Little word of warning: This doesn't work with everything; so far I've only had it work on the playground scene in PoA and when I tried it on others like the train scene they just turned out rather red and saturated; it's all a matter of luck and, of course, tweeking ;)

Hope you like my tuts and please remember to credit; credit is love :D Enjoy!

Better banner :D I try my best for Warlow, YAY TO THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

Once again, sorry about the really ugly banner ((it's really hard to make a nice one when you lack creative design)). If you use ((again, the tut, not the banner)), can I see your results?

The MMFM Icon Archive (part II) is once again viewable to the public; sorry about that folks, I'd forgotten I'd set it to private during the Rickman Stills contest.

Recently I re-watched Memoirs of a Geisha and despite the many alterations from the book, the scenery is really beautiful, so I decided to start making a few icons. My first is here with Sayuri, when the Chairman picks the cherry blossoms from her hair.

Icon from first tutorial entered in the rickman_stills Challenge 105

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME KIDDIES!! Just as I promised, here's my 26th tutorial; started last night and finished this morning on this thundering 6th of July; how I love the stormy weather ((if you're wondering why I've taken so long to get it up here, I made it on my laptop and had a bit of transference troubles with my mp3)). Very easy and not too many steps.
