Simple GIMP tutorial *56Kers beware*

Please not that this is a very basic tutorial and should get nyone new to the program learning. It's not meant to tell everyone the extra stuff. I might make a seperate tutorial for that.

I was so happy when I saw a GIMP tut. Like, 'woo!' happy, you know... Since half of the things in those PS ones I have no idea what they're talking about. X3

But, hey! It was an easy to follow tut and I loved following it. The result is way better than anyhing I could expect me to do too. :3



So, thanks a lot for the tut. ^^

Thanks for your comment. As I said this is just to get people going, get them to think and all that.

It's a nice tut but please don't post the image using [img] code. Just post the link.

Nice tutorial. Is this any good?

My Tingle sig

I think it's too large though

Edit: I made another one and fixed the one above. The new one is right here. And the better version of the one above is in my sig.

Cool, good to see people changing it up a bit. Maybe you might want want to use a brush tool to add a little bit of white to the center of Tatl.

I think he's unsure on how to move the render? You use the little tool with all the arrows that has 'move layer or selection' next to it and then you move the render to wherever you wish.

Unless the render is too big, therefore only showing the waist when you want it all to show. In THAT case, you just need to go to scale layer, or you can scale it by yourself using that little icon in the toolbox that lookslike a big rectangle turning into a small one.

Those are the only possible problems I'm getting from what you're saying. :/

Hey, Hero of Legends, I'm making another sig, with Volvagia on it, and I was wondering how you got that flame effect in the background. Can you tell how to do that?

To be honest the tutorial was taking for ever, sigs generally take about 5 minutes to make and this took 40 inbetween writing and making it, so I was lazy and found it on google. Lawl.

You mean the render? Just right click and hit paste.

Good, I see that you took your own way outside of the tutorial. That's what I wanted to see.
