FirevsIce's GIMP Graphics

[Firice da Vinci]

Well I've been using GIMP for awhile now, so I decided I might as well post my work somewhere. I'll take requests for signatures, avatars, desktop backgrounds, and YouTube backgrounds. Here's some of my best work.

Signatures

Avatars

Backgrounds

My current sig made using a tutorial. I really like the outcome.

I'll take requests if you really want one. Just tell me what you want it to look like and I'll make the avatar/signature.

Which tutorial was this? I would like to give it a go. And, this one is by far your best. You're getting good at the photoshops (I know you use GIMP, lol). Well done!

It was the Timeshift Render tutorial on GIMP Tutorials.

Wow these are really good! So many great graphical engineers so-to-speak on ZD. :clap:

These look really good! How did you achieve the lightning effect in the Amaterasu siggy? Any tips you might have for learners?

Which one? I have glowing text, glowing swirls, a white to transparent gradient, and sun. As for the tips I would suggest finding tutorials to make signatures until you find a style that suits you.

That is what I liked in Gimp. The sun tool to make it look like the sun is shining. In PS we do have light effects and lens flare but I always liked the sun tool in Gimp more

Hi, I'm not looking for something fancy, but could you crop Link out of this picture and resize him to 100X100? Add a little effects like in my sig if you wanna. Thanks!

I'm assuming you wanted this as an avatar, so I lowered the quality a bit to use it, but if you just wanted it in general I have another version with better quality.

I was mostly amazed by the glowing swirls and the sun. I have tried glowing effects, but haven't gotten a hang of them yet.

That's some excellent work you've got there. I don't like to admit it but this work is much better than any of my works, thanks for posting one of the tutorials you used, it helps me improve my rather rusty skills. Do you happen to have any more good tutorials that I could use?

@Ghosi
For the swirls you can use a brush on a new, transparent layer and (in my case a splatter) duplicate it. Then, on the original layer you go to Filters> Blur> Gaussian Blur. Change the settings to your liking and you'll have a glow. As for the sun go to Filters> Light and Shadow> Supernova. You can change the color and position it to you liking.

@Durion
I would suggest checking out this thread for some tutorial sites and some made by our own ZD forumers.

Thanks. I'll make sure to try and create them when I next get the spare time.

I made made three more signatures with the Timeshift Render Tutorial. I had three 3D renders that I never used due to the tutorials I used failed with them, but even with this one they were still flawed.

I had to cut out the render myself (can't understand planetrenders downloading) and I should not have used pink lines.

Meta Knight turned out decently well, but I messed up on the text box and I couldn't fit his name in there.

Actually, this is my first Zelda related sig since the third one I ever made. The left side of this one was way too bright.
Overall I'm going to stick with Rosalina.

Oh thank you! I will definitely try it out.
