Gimp Works Wonders!
Gimp Works Wonders!
I had seen that someone mentioned something about using Gimp for image editing, specifically stat cards. It's a really really good program, basically photoshop caliber, and best of all its free. And then just my luck, I had all ready downloaded it a long time ago! So I thought I'd mess around with some of my unit pics. I'm very fond of this artistic render effect.

Muhaha! Thank you.Bonn-o-Tron wrote:I'm impressed, you managed to make your already awesome army even cooler. For the last picture, did you just draw that cityscape?
Ha, so the effect really worked! It DOES look drawn! I applied the same techniques to the pics of my models. I knew I wanted a cityscape background so I just went to google images and searched through that. After a couple of different tries (post apoc, apoc, halo), I searched Gears of War and wound up with some cool pics.

Google will seriously not kill you.

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.
Those are some pretty cool effects. I think that one could have a wider range of options in Photoshop though. However, that's a very effective alternative. Nice work!

True, what I originally wanted to write was "a thrifty and effective alternative" However, I didn't want to make it sound like I think that people on BrikWars are cheap. I mean, look at how much we invest in custom minifigs! That ain't cheap...CreatioNZ wrote:true but photoshop has the expensive price slapped onto it, so free Gimp does the trick.Adean wrote:Those are some pretty cool effects.

Read my new battle report. There's a small discussion about how GIMP is better than Photoshop in one of the many areas where I got sidetracked. Nice pictures, by the way. Dan would kill to be able to do this, however, he's terrible with photoshop and GIMP alike.
