GIMP splash

Following on from falldown's GIMP tutorial on a glass text effect, I've used the method to produce some effects for a GIMP splash screen.

If you d/l the image, resize it to whatever you want, and put it in /user/.gimp-2.x/splashes (create the directory if it doesn't exist). GIMP will pick a file at random to display at startup

More splashes added...

Thanks

The effect was got by duplicating the layer, desaturating, then pastel sketch filter. Some erasing with a graphite pencil brush, then a pattern bg.

Very nice, buddy. One question though. Is the text in the window static or dynamic?

Thanks   Responses like yours are a good incentive (though I guess I don't need much encouragement!)

Good work on the References BTW

Nice gradients - there's something about the greys around here that works really well for all sorts of images! Makes a restful change from ubuntu-orange and mint-green (That's not a dig at your dA stuff BTW!)

Re: GIMP splash

Thank you damo, ya I love greyscale anything. And about the ubuntu and mint remark no worries I know what you mean. Sometimes you just got to change things up.
