My attempt at Gimp

[GwenRaiden]

@GwenRaiden is it a Gimp one? Wallpapers are the one thing that I've never been happy with making, too much space to work with!

I think it's PS but it should be fairly easily translatable. It's a good tut for blending and composition, and making textures work. This is it.

ok here's a wallpaper attempt, kept it simple

Banner dump from the musical ones:

Cry Little Sister:

Love you to death:

Fast Car

More

Fighter

Came back haunted

Paris

Rain

It can't rain all the time

Rock a bye

Until it sleeps

Your song

Somebody that I used to know

Creep

We are young

Being late to this board, it was awesome to look through this post and see how far you've come, even if you weren't bad to begin with. I had that same metamorphosis with Gimp, lol, have been using it for years. I'm to cheap to pay for PS

An example would be my below banner, which I'm super proud of, and it only took fifteen minutes.

You're better at blending than me, I've never figured that one out. Maybe I should practice that next time?

Been a while, but I will make more art this year (pretty sure I say this every year!)

Not the best, the image quality for season 1 isn't very good

Not the best, the image quality for season 1 isn't very good

What I do is I duplicate the layers and I set the duplicate layers to screen to brighten up the darker images lower quality images from s1. I’ll do this a couple of times until I have a better/brighter image. But also, there are HD screencaps for s1 and some of s2 here (thanks to @Jam ). She is working in another project but she may go back and screen cap the rest of BtVS in HD later so keep checking back for updates.

As everyone seemed to do a blue Dawn lately I have one too!

and a Tillow banner

 

[Nix]

Loving them both especially the Dawn one

 

[nightshade]

Had gimp open for something else so thought I would make a quick banner too

 

[nightshade]

Just a quick one from the last ep I watched

 

[nightshade]

So this is the first time using duplicate layer to have just the pink helmets, I erased a little too much and Angel's face is in colour as well, but overall I'm happy with it

Felt like making something but wasn't sure what so used a random number generator to pick episodes, got 16 - Inca Mummy Girl, and 70 Goodbye Iowa.

This should get an award for the longest running thread. I just realized I've owned four cars since this thread was started. Madness.

 

[nightshade]

Well this page is over a year old! However here's a new banner to show that I still am using it!

Love it... really nice colouring and blending

Not a fan of this one but posted it anyway, I'll probably redo it one day, one year maybe!
