I got it from a friend, and I don't think I have it anymore... You can either use the one at the bottom of the tut, if it is big enough... Or you can search online for it. Sorry.

Eh? I try to make my tutorials as straightforward and detailed as possible. I think you're one of the first who thought it wasn't lol. Sorry.

That's okay, it's totally not your fault. I've got learning disabilities and plus I think I use a different version of the program and I don't know where all the tools are. My biggest problem is my smudging. I can never make it look right.

Koolstr In reply to Rhyme27 [2010-02-12 01:06:17 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I still have trouble with using the smudge tool properly... =/

I tried this on Gimp, and it took FOREVER trying to figure out the similar photoshop filters that you used.... It's a really really good tut. Great job.

Koolstr In reply to 1Kirin2 [2009-08-04 17:49:58 +0000 UTC]

Heh, thanks. ^_^

There's a reason it was made for Photoshop, and not Gimp.

1Kirin2 In reply to Koolstr [2009-08-04 22:07:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. But in my opinion it turned out okay. But you used to have gimp. I loved your great knight, renamon and this tutorial.
How does this look?

grayseer-thanquol In reply to TwiliteSasuke93 [2008-11-01 15:11:43 +0000 UTC]

and good luck doing the ocean ripple on your own...lol, i tried when all i had was GIMP...jeez it was hard

Koolstr In reply to TwiliteSasuke93 [2008-10-26 21:12:56 +0000 UTC]

Its possible, but it will be a lot harder since some of the filters and such arent in GIMP and the outer glowing of the strokes you'll have to do manually.

Can this tutorial be translated to GIMP as well, because I would love to see that effect in GIMP too.

Koolstr In reply to konstargirl [2008-04-29 18:48:36 +0000 UTC]

It would be a little hard, as Gimp can't do scatter brushing. Sorry. =/
