    Tut (in GIMP) for Doctor and River art.




    Spoiler:
    Textures and pics I used:






    First layer will be your "Background" layer. I left mine white.

    Don't Merge or anchor any layers

    Second layer is the pocket watch. Before I added it to the layer I scaled it down to 450x450. Use the Circular Select tool to fit the outer shape of the watch. Copy and paste into 2nd layer window. Go to "Colors" > Hues, Saturation.... and lower Satuaration to -40. Use the circular select tool again, but use it to do the inner circle of the watch... including shadow areas. Use your Eraser tool and lower the opacity to about 45-50%. Go over the whole inner circle... it shouldn't erase anything else outside of the selected area.

    Third layer: Use your desired pic and adjust to size you want... leaving a bit outside of the watch area. Go to Layer > Mask> Add Layer Mask or Right click your mouse on your layer window and click on Add Layer Mask. Use your Blending tool. (Make sure the two color window are White and Black... white being on the left). Click and drag to remove area you don't want. ("Ctrl z" if you make a mistake and need to undo.) Right click layer window again to Apply Mask. Repeat this process all the way around. For tweeking I used the the eraser tool and or the smudge tool. Mostly on the outside of the watch. Adjust coloring to your desire.

    Layers 4 and 5: Repeat masking steps as in layer 3.

    Layer 6: Add Gears pic. Set mode to Soft Light and lower the opacity to 48%. Move pic to where you want and use smudge tool to smooth out unwanted lines. You can also lower the rate if you want lines to remain, but don't want it as strong of a smudge.

    Brush Effect: I used SkullyCloudly-5. Don't remember if these are the brushes. Clouds . Check box next to " Use color from gradient" Top color #fffff and bottom color #edc79f. Scale at .20 and lower opacity to 45%. Apply brush to desire areas

    Go back to Layer 6 and user Smudge tool again to smudge out areas by clouds. I lowered the Rate to 23.0

    Texts: I used Requiem for "First Night Last Night" text. Set to size 22 and Adjust Line Space to -6. For Doctor and River I used Mathilde size 20 and Adjust Letter Spacing 2.0

    Image > Flatten Image to finalize.


    I hope I got it all.

          So I've made two versions of the same banner (I've only posted one of them) using THIS tutorial, although I skipped the last couple of steps in adding the textures because they're for icons and I've made a banner, so I added different textures.

          I should mention that it was a PSP (Paint Shop Pro) tutorial. I'm not sure whether it's transferable.
          I think some features are similar, especially the colour modes in PS and Gimp, if I'm not wrong.

            I was experimenting with colouring earlier; more specifically, how to turn a normal photo into one that's got a washed-out, more vintage feel and thought I'd share it if anyone likes these similar effects. The best part is, these steps could be saved as an action.



            Spoiler:

            1. Add a new Gradient adjustment layer. Set first stop right at the utmost left to #5a2f17 and pure white at the end stop (utmost right). Set to Color, Opacity 65%.

            2. New layer, fill with #30147f. Set to Exclusion, opacity 30%.

            3. New layer, fill with #fdff25. Set to Hue, opacity 51%.

            4. Add a new Gradient adjustment layer. This time, there'll be 5 stops, positioned evenly on the spectrum. Stop 1: #350133, Stop 2: #4907a2, Stop 3: #84a2bc, Stop 4: #cfbda5, Stop 5: #ae9157. Set layer to Color, opacity 20%.

            5. New adjustment layer > selective color. Neutrals: -17, -4, 9, -3.
            Normal, opacity 100%.

            And you're done!

                  My last colouring experiment for the day:



                  Spoiler:

                  1. new adjustment layer > gradient map. 2 stops, 1 at each end. Stop 1: #421104, Stop 2: #8c4703

                  2. new layer > gradient (Also possible with an adjustment layer). 5 stops this time, evenly spaced out. Stop 1: #fff799, Stop 2: #df7d1a, Stop 3: #857c6e, Stop 4: #eddec5, Stop 5: #ffffff

                  3. new layer > fill > #08043b. Set to Overlay, 80% opacity.

                  4. new layer > fill > #f5c799. Set to Hue, 60% opacity.

                  5. new layer > fill > #c1c1c1. Set to Multiply, 100%.

                  6. new layer > fill > #ff0000. Set to Hue, 30%.

                    yay! I'm bookmarking these too with hopes of trying them later.

                    I'd love to green you for either of these or your Sam & Jack artwork which was just gorgeous. Virtual green.
