these are awesome

i really like all of your sprite sigs


want this stickied?

[oucho]

Do you have to pay for gimp? That looks like a really thorough tut.

[Fraz]

Hell yeah, i will update it, and it would encourage me to make more. : D

And GIMP is free.

no gimp is free


but this is for photoshop, it might be harder to translate it into gimp

[Fraz]

I found another tutorial


EDIT: Also holy shit. This is old!
A GIMP tutorial for when i didn't have photoshop, about a year ago!
Here is a gimp tutorial. I will teach you how to make this




First pick a render. You can get some from Planet Renders
For this tutoial i will use this render
To use it don't copy and paste it save it. This is to use it as a render not a background.

Open Gimp.
Then go to File-New and create a background size 400 wide and 120 high. This is the best size (in my opinion) for creating a sig.

Then open the render as a layer. Go to file-open as layer (or Ctrl-Alt-O)
It will have this in the layers dialog


While the linkrender is highlighted as above click copy. This is for a later step

Click on the eye on the linkrender to make it invisible.
Then click on the background layer.
Paste the link render. And keep on pasting it and moving it untill the whole canvass is covered. As so

Then anchor the Pasted Layer, by clicking on the anchor in the layer dialog.
Click on Filters-Noise-pick
Max out both the sliders and click new seed button.
It should look something like this

After that, click Filters-blur-motion blur.
Set the setting like this

And you should get something similar to this

Make the Linkrender layer visible again, by clicking where the eye was on the layer dialog.
Change the mode to hardlight. The mode is located here-

After this it is for the text.
Click on the text on the main gimp dialog.
Pick a font you would like. I have chosen The streetwriter font which i got off http://www.dafont.com
Make the colour of the text white and Write your wanted text. I have chosen Fraz.
It will look like this

Then set the layer mode to Grain merge.
Now for the border.
Make sure you have Black As your main colour.
Create a new layer.Name it border.Make sure the layer is on top.Like this

Go to Select-All (or Ctrl-A)
Then Edit-Stroke selection
Then have line width as 10.
After that make your main colour a dark green(because most of mine is dark green, Yours could be different)
Edit-Stroke selection again This time make the line width 5.
This is how it should look-

You are finished. Well Done.
Please post your results

i tried several times


thanks again

[Fraz]

hehe, no problem.
I added my GIMP tutorial to my last post, edited it. It is really simple, and is made for GIMP.
Not adding to first post though, as i'm not too proud of it. But it may help some folk!

[oucho]

[masterfurbix]

its saved to my hard drive

heres my old result




that is so funny :P

[Fraz]

lolcool, brings back memories. : P

Alot of people have been asking, where do you download GIMP. Well, the link is below if you are using -
Windows-
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
Mac-
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
UNIX-
http://www.gimp.org/unix/

Im not sure for MAC or UNIX, but you need the GTK runtime for windows at least. Without it, GIMP wont work.

i didn't see this, hold on

[Fraz]

That one for richmund is damn good!
You should have redone the lightsource on low opacity so that it stood out more, but other than that, sweet.
Look at the tips i gave in your thread.

You seem to know a lot about gimp.

So when i have a picture that has white(or something one coloured i want to delete) around it,how do i delete the white?
