Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all got chocolate bunnies!


Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. Got me my first laptop and I've been busy playing with it, and enjoying GW with a much faster internet! Haven't Gimped in ages due to my desktop comp acting up/slow and not having Gimp on my laptop. I made one sig on my desktop and that took ages to make, save, and upload to GW Not to mention saving the pic I used to my desktop first..and took way too long! Also, my artistic muse has been avoiding me lately too. So, yeah.

I haven't forgotten you guys or this thread, just haven't been able to Gimp.

Now though, I've finally given in and downloaded Gimp (and Gimp Themes - gotta have my dark Gimp!) to my laptop. And I made my first sig on my lappy. *points down* It's not much seeing as I don't have all the stuff I downloaded to Gimp (brushes, fonts, textures) on my desktop's Gimp. But I like it.


Hope all is well with everyone!

mane, love the chocolate Easter gif.

Congrats on the new laptop, RiG!

You should be thrilled - it turned out absolutely lovely! Bravo!

Thank you!!

The sig's really lovely! With wallpapers, it's often better to have lots of nearly empty space, but in my case that space's on the wrong side. That's because I've been lazy about cleaning up icons on my desktop and have over 100 of them, covering about half the screen (11 across & 10 down). But because I use Windows, that space needs to be on the left side of the desktop.

Thanks! And yeah, that's true about wallpapers. And I know what you mean, most of my icons are on the left side, same as the image in the wallpaper I made. I'm thinking about going in and moving the image...Maybe...I've been to lazy to reorganize the icons, so I'll probably be too lazy to move the pic lol. If anyone wants to use it for personal use I can put the new version up.

Got another one here...I didn't follow the tut exactly, but I'm happy with where I took it. And I did a few things differently, mainly because my sig was way too blue for my liking (mostly because I used different pics than the tut used) and I needed to calm it down...Snow just doesn't look very good when she's more blue than a frozen or dead person, lol...

Wonderful artworks, Lg, RIG (and welcome back and congratulations on the new laptop), and TrueRomantic.

Wonderful arties, love the Snow White. And the deceptive simplicity of the Jensen sig is refreshing after all the blends. The Downton Abbey sig I posted yesterday has 22 layers...

[Graceful Spirit]

Gorgeous DA sig Mane.

Beautiful Easter art lg.

RiG, love the Jensen sig.

Lovely Snow White sig TR.

So for some reason, I've decided to go back to the Graphic Art Tutorial Thread and make some stuff with the tuts there.

Here's a couple of things I made so far:

From this tut by Jeyla4ever


From this tut by Luciana - the colouring is my own cos the tut had mostly selective colouring layers which I can't do in PSP.


From this tut by CazzBlade

They're awesome, Graceful!

Thanks lg It's been forever since I made anything that wasn't for a 20in20 or the like...I'm amazed I was actually able to make things larger than icon size

I've done a couple of icon sets recently and determined that I really don't care for icons without a tut to follow! LOL! I just never know what to do with such little space. I'm much more comfortable with sigs and wallies.

Lovely arties Graceful! I don't really make icons either, usually I just snip bits from a sig...

Loved all of the Easter art.

Yamii, the Tesla wallpaper was wonderful... liked the little pics of him.

Mr, the Castle art was wonderful and the one not for the challenge is just perfect with the photo, looks like they are reminiscing.

TrueRomantic, those are wonderful, I especially like the blue and black (my fav colors) sig for Castle. The Snow White sig is so beautiful.

Love the icons, Graceful. The tuts you followed from the Graphic Art thread are beautiful and fun.

Mane, love the coloring on your sig, very warm.

RIG, I actually like the simplicity of the Ackles sig. Glad to see you back.
