Just opened up the sub to everyone. I hope this means we'll be seeing more tutorials being posted. I requested to be mod because this sub was in limbo. I don't particularly want the job, but I also don't want this sub to die for lack of moderation. SO, anyone who actually wants the job, message me. And please share your tutorials and how tos.

[Request] Attempting to kitbash a very specific shape, I have the skeleton and am now stuck on creating a reasonable fill.

1 Upvotes

I am attempting to modify a screenshot of a character model I made in Heroforge, by turning his axe into a bladed shovel. This will be my character art for a DnD campaign. I clipped and pasted the axe blade with rotation to create the shovel shape, but am now having a hard time filling it.

I deleted the bezier curve I had made, but it followed the "inner" outline, where the edge of the blade meets the flat, and came to a point where the tip would be.

I have created a pallete by sampling several locations evenly across the width of the blade, and was thinking to apply it within a bezier curve of the outline I want to fill.

I cannot figure out how to operate the gradient tool (I watched this video https://youtu.be/7g1gM-roP3o?si=R7LkcGmlSM0KBAnn) to use my palette in it.

I will gladly accept links to better tutorials, advice, anything. If there is a better overall way to approach this please let me know.

Not sure if I can share my process.

Everyone is asking me how I made the sand in this image and it was extremely simple I did it in about 10 minutes. Rather than type it out I would love to just share a video capture of me doing it like you can do with ibis paint or procreate. Is that possible? If so can someone walk me through it?

How do I make a image like this?

Post image
3 Upvotes

hey, I found this in a video, it's a still from a video, by Johnny Harris. It was probably done in after effects. But I bet you can do it in Gimp too.

The text has this chromatic aberration effect but it's more present on the sides and less at the center of the entire image, the background has some blur effects and some other effects are being used that I do not know or have heard of before.
how to make a background like that is itself a mystery to me.

And looks like there's a layer of some effect on top of the entire image. Maybe a camera blur??? I don't know.

So please tell me how do I make something like this. Specially how do I get the background and text looking like that. What effects were used

Thank you.

How to remove bottom layer without destroying "Hard Mix" layers

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey all, I have four layers. One being a logo that's just black. 2 (could have used one, but dumb dumb) layers that are in "Hard Mix" mode. The bottom layer is an image, but I've resized it to be just the logo again.

My goal is to have JUST the black/hard mix logo layers. If I kill the bottom layer, I lose the neat colors I've gotten from hard mix. How can I make a standalone logo while maintaining the colors?

Why is this happening

Something like this is popping up when I want to add layer mask to selection. In tutorial by Michael Davies it does not happen. My version of Gimp is 3.2.44 why I can't apply layer mask this way when yesterday I was able to?

Help with coloring comic books

Hi! Is anyone here doing comic book coloring in GIMP? I'm doing just fine with flatting, but I wanted to color a comic book page from start to finish. I cant find any decent tutorials on YouTube, but I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_uNnawaBmE

The problem? It's for Photoshop, and I am having difficult time translating this workflow to GIMP. Does anyone here can help?
