helens78Welcome to the Dreamsheep community! Unexpectedly, the dreamsheep are quite a hit, and rather than continuing to collect all the sheep in one random post on my journal, I thought it would be nice to have a comm out there where we can parade our flocks at will. (Also, this way I don't have to keep track of which sheep are for sharing and which are private. Score!)
The community guidelines are in the profile. They can be summed up as: No off-topic posts, don't hotlink, be clear about whether your sheep are shareable, mark any NSFW sheep as NSFW, tags are your friends. Please read them!
To start things off, I give you the dreamsheep blank and base!
dreamsheep_blank.psd -- Photoshop
dreamsheep_blank.xcf -- the GIMP (though tG will also open .psd files) -- thanks tocheyinka!
dreamsheep_blank.cpt -- Corel Photo-Paint 11 -- thanks totornir!
Thanks tocheyinka for the .xcf file and tornir for the .cpt file! Donations of other program's sorts of layered file are very much welcome, and if it would be useful to have a collection of eight separate files for the layers, so you can create your own layered file usable in other programs, let me know. I'd love to be able to offer this in other formats.
A note on the border around head and hooves: This was done in blending options on the head and hooves layers: it is a 2px black "stroke", done that way for ease of coloring.
A note on fonts: I am told that the fonts for the graphic are as follows: "ream" is Futura Medium and "width" is Gill Sans Bold. The D, of course, is a custom graphic! Stock imagery is available on the wiki.
ETA:tornir comments on the fonts, below (where to get Futura Medium/how to get a good copy of "WIDTH"). Thanks!
The sheep in this entry are shareable; please take, use as-is, or recolor/restyle as you please!
