I'm still very slow at this and still learning how to do things so I'm not taking requests at this time because I'm just trying to figure this out. But I'm having fun in the process and I wanted a place to post some of the better stuff in here just in case anyone likes something and wants to use it.

Also, I'm sure at some point I'll make non-bangel stuff ... ;)

This one combines carpenters, Christmas and Bangel... - all in one banner!

Darla and Buffy. After I was like 45 minutes into editing, I thought hmm maybe it's weird to have Angel and Buffy having the sex on a banner but I had invested 45 minutes so I kept going. :)

Ok so either (a) colorizing with GIMP is super hard because of the no gradiant filters deal (where as photoshop has them) and/or (b) I am just not as gifted as @GwenRaiden in this coloring deal because this looks significantly different. So, Buffy has a major tan... it looked alot worse before I made EVERY SINGLE layer Multiply ... lol.

It looks pretty good to me!! The colours are great!

The small version looks great, apart from the white spots. That is exactly what I want to be able to do.

Do you know where the 'black and white' gradient' is on gimp? I spent an hour trying to find it and gave up. I know it must be there, because black & white is pretty basic, but for the love of god I could not find it . . . :mad:

Yeah it’s in gradients it’s the “background to foreground” gradient (make sure colors are back and white). The problem is where as PS allows them to create a layer from gradient gimp doesn’t. Also I had to download both the copper and the yellow gradients and the copper was bad so I didn’t use it. The yellow was obviously not as nice as Gwen’s.

Thank you. I gave up on Copper and went for Golden. I found this one really difficult, and took so many mis-steps that Buffy's hair turned black :)

Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what they're doing :D I did multiply, though I've no idea what it does, and to be honest, I was so off course I should have just started again. Now I know were the b&w gradient is, I might give it another shot, just not today :)

The Multiply as it states multiplies each top layer pixel to that of the bottom layer thus making the picture darker. It's used to blend the two images together.
