There's nothing in the genre drop-box about graphic books, but we're doing it anyway, folks!
Good graphics will be preceded by the crappy originals to show my progress. Chapters may be published out of order.

Okay, I actually really like this one? If you can't tell by the font, this is for my unpublished Star Trek: AOS fanfiction, So Others May Live. It's made to semi-match this cover:

So, I colored the background dark purple & used that really light space overlay on Pixlr X — you have to go to align and stretch it back into a normal shape — and changed it — I think to soft-light? I don't have my laptop open. Then I threw on that glittery dust overlay — mind you, it's under "dust" not "glitter" or something that would make sense — that I'm always using and turned the transparency down a tad.
And then I switched from Pixlr X to Pixlr E and added the text. At first, I was going to do white text, outlined and set to overlay, but then I wanted to see what it would look like if I beveled it. I already had the space between the letters how I wanted it, and I was too lazy to go back to check what number it was set on, so I just made them both visible and stretched the text I was going to bevel out. I was like, "Hey, that might look cool!" And went ahead and reasterized and beveled the top one and just left them one on top of the other.
Then I went back and added a layer all turned one color.
Et voilà ! C'est très belle !
Now, watch me stare at it until I hate it.
