Quick notes on this a lot of this stuff has been hand crafted by me for certain sites and or contests. Most are tagged with the site they were made for on them. In most cases I can edit them for your needs if you want. If you want to use something please just ask. A lot of this can be found in my DA account which is HERE. On other notes I use a mix of programs in my artwork. My favorites include PS Elements, Corel Painters and a few random free programs I have picked up over the years. I have been doing graphics on and off for about 13 years but more heavily in the last 5. I am a classically trained artist and photographer. With that said some of my items do appear out of focus and grainy 90% of the time I meant to do that so please don't tell me that I need choose or pick higher quality images (its a pet peeve of mine). Beyond that constructive comments are always welcome. I believe that is everything.
Im loving your icons! They are awesome and I totally agree with your 'Lily&Severus' One! The cards are pretty awesome! I could see alot of people wanting to use those! Good work! I cant wait to see more from you!
I have more frog cards that I can link or make their own sections. I made about fifty bases for different things. And thanks I have more icons I just picked those 12 at random. Links to some finished ones.

Hello! Just wanted to say that I love your graphics! Those Chocolate Frog Cards are cool!!!! You've got a great style, and you'll be up the ranks in no time<3
all images by me ** avaliable for requests ** staff
For making the cards I found a pack of free textures or made my own over on color lovers. Some of the backgrounds to get them to look like that took about three to five layers. The rest are just shapes that I have that come free in elements or I bought that I am allowed to use. Each shape is its own layer that has some effect applied.
As for the sigs they are all for characters on HP rp sites
lol I can poke my co-admin or the gf and see if they have an extra code laying about. They normally do. As for the tutorial I can try but as I have elements that do something for me that CS5 and up you have to do by hand I am not sure how to explain it.
Welcome to Diagon Alley, a Harry Potter themed graphics, coding, and writing community. We are very friendly and we all love to make friends. We mainly focus on graphics which is our reason for having graphic galleries but as you see we do not have any other galleries? Why do you ask? Our reason is because we want to be different. We want to be an all resource site but not an all resource site with all resource galleries. It is not much of a problem because you can still earn promotions by showing what you have done in your challenges and we can promote you by what you have. We hope you enjoy it here at Diagon Alley and have the best of fun!
