Steve S;
When I build a mini-itx Puppy box I'll use a fancy cigar box that
matches your wood grain wallpaper.

Very classy work.
Thanks

For you XP lovers (are there any left?!) I posted a puppy-ized version of Windows "bliss" on this thread here.

nice pictures

#23 Post by JavaNut13 »

I made this cool picture of a drumkit and thought it looked pretty good..
in the GIMP I got my picture, did a sobel edge detect (<image>edge detect>>sobel) opened the same picture as a new layer(<image>File>>open as layers)then inverted it(<image>colors>>invert) making sure that the inverted layer is behind the sobel..
Then I had a picture of a flame and made it transparent, and the you can do a color balance on the layers to make it even more abstract..

I like that sobel effect, JavaNut...hadn't tried that one yet. That will come in handy making outlines out of things as needed...thanks!

And, admittedly, it probably looks much cooler on a drumkit, but just for fun...I also played a lot with the backgrounds and such..that is a lava effect on the far back. But like I said, this was just playing around; interesting effect, though. 8)

Yeah, what dejan said; it's just applying yourself to something, and anyone can do that in their own way...threads/input like this help with the creative process...I find in any "art" project I go through a get inspired phase then I try to apply it to what I know about the medium. In this case (and in most) my "art" gets better as I learn more about the medium; Gimp isn't always the most user friendly as an artistic medium. But once I do a project or learn a technique I can then apply it to all kinds of things...

I had encountered that when using other mediums: learn a new shading technique while using charcoal pencils, or whatever. It's just broader in scope learning computer graphic stuff, at least in my opinion.

...that's why I was glad to see others contributing to this thread. I knew it might further inspire more and more "art."

That being said, cm1967, thank you for the compliment. 8)

Which one, Grokking the Gimp? Is that helpful? I've just never gotten around to it...that's probably the next phase.

I haven't done much creative arts lately but cm1967 its not all that hard, What you have to do is install gimp, open a blank page say 1024x768 and have some fun :)
Gimp you can get http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/progra ... .0-rc3.pet
and with a little luck you can also create nice images also, These are a few a did about 1 year ago http://www.ttuuxxx.com/puppy/indexbackground.html
The moon image I took during a eclipse, That was the actual colour :)

Yes, Grokking the Gimp from our library. The NASA site has some cool pictures, I just placed them on a black background for a start.
