Well I met someone on another forum who's really good at GIMP. |D
And the other people are from the actual GIMP forums, so you can understand why they're good at GIMP.


Here though, I'd put my money on Conman. <w<;;
I use gimp, I pretty much suck with it......

But I know a person that's awesome with it, her name is Anastasia-R she's a member on PC. :D

She's major with gimp, she's also the art mod on PE2K....

And I've seen some more awesome banners made in gimp...(I'm the hostess of BOTW on PE2K it's week 21 now...) And most of the newbies on there start with gimp, it's a good practice before PS...

Anyway I updated the shop index... xD

Would it kill you to make an activity post? xD

Okay, let's get off the topic of GIMP etc for a while.
I had a bit of an idea for the graphics section.

So, it seemed my SOTW: Icons theme was a real hit, and a lot of people on PC are really getting into using them in their signatures etc

So my idea was, to start a PC Icontest.
A weekly contest, just like SOTW & POTW, except obviously, all entries must be 100x100 icons.

How's this sounding?

Kill me to make an activity post? D: Wait, what do I have to do again? <A<; [/wasn't aware I had any duties other than to make sure things were neat]

And yup, I know Anastasia too. |D Haven't seen her around lately though.

Loki approves Dukey's idea btw. With this maybe we can get a competition forum....?

Don't like it? Don't participate. Everyone else likes the idea so there's no need to be a negative Nancy. It'd be fun to work with tiny canvases. You can stop QQing over the idea and not participate. (:

Take a gander at galleries with small sigs on other forums too; tell those 'artists' to use a bigger canvas and do the same effects. Take a look at which looks better. Smaller canvases are easier.

Yea yea avatars are smaller, which is why almost all of the ones I'm seeing are stocks turned render if not already one with photofilters and colour adjustments. Yet when I did that with a sig you said...

Photo manips are so keeeewl

Really. Photo manips are boring. I don't like those Batman tags at all.
A bit of double standards now?

If no one wants to run the icontest (if we get it), I'll do that too. xD;
I wouldn't mind being the hostess of it......

I was joking, it was mainly aimed at other people, I was hoping they'd make banners.... *Flinches* Don't hit me...

Ana has been busy with the Art section on PE2K the other art mod's are semi-inactive, she just recently got the job, tho I have seen her on PC recently..

Haaaa, PE2K. I remember that place. <_<;


Anyways, I was under the impression that Dukey would be running the icontest, since it was his idea...?
We'll see.
You ones went there?

Lightning told me PC and PE2K used to be the same forum or some....

Okay, I just saw CME was offering so I offered as well...... *Challenges CME to a rivalry.* xD

I went there a long time ago for like, three days. I'm not fond of that place. xD But I don't bash other forums, so I'm stoppin' there. :P

And you can't VM me because I've set it to friends only.
I really hate getting VM's from people unless I'm close friends with them. It's so tedious to reply, because usually it's just some meaningless, "How are you?". Dx
If you need to talk to me, you can just PM me?

And ha, that's a good point Gummy. xD We'll see what he says though. <3 Can't shaft him before he even gets his two cents in~

An icontest? What is this, LiveJournal?

In any case, I'd probably participate, but I've always found it very difficult to work with small canvases. As anyone who's bothered checking out my gallery would know, my specialty is full-sized tags, and even then I'm not very good at those.

For the record, I believe that Photoshop is not worth the expense or the questionable legality of a free download if all you're doing is making tags and icons for message boards and blogs; I never quite understood why people here are so very willing to either waste money or potentially get into legal trouble just so they can make fancy graphics for this forum. GIMP is more than adequate for those purposes, but the learning curve is rather steep; I suppose that's the price one has to pay for legitimate freeware.

A year ago I would have agreed with you, but these simple "forum GFX" have had an effect on my life. With all this practice, I quickly caught my G&P teacher's eye and now he regards me as one of his best students.

Oh I see, like I have it. :D

Guess I'm not used to hitting a wall when I want to talk to other people, tho I do the same thing. xD

I see, well I mostly was active on PE2K because of the clans, but I lost my game and lost interest in battling so I moved to the art section, been there for like 6 months now, I like how far apart the graphics on PC and PE2K are far apart.... On PC it's all about stocks and messing with colours and effects.

On PE2K it's mostly about flashy brushes and cool font's...

Like when I introduced a set stock for this weeks BOTW, I thought they'd rip off my head, thank god Ana was there and got were I was going. xD

Still people entered, some even thought I should have had many to choose from and some hated the stock.... Tho I personally liked it...

I'm sure you guys would have loved it if it had been in SOTW on here....



Anyway if Dukey says no I'm here.....

Hey I was wondering, which is more correct:

Colours

or

Colors.

There's no more correct version.
It's just two different kinds of spellings.

You can use either.


And yeah, that's why I wasn't fond of PE2K. xD; It's personal taste though, I suppose.
I see...

Like you said personal taste, tho I happen to like both, and I hope in the future to be able to combine what I pick up from both forums.. :D

That would be major awesome. :)
