eponymous_roseFinally got around to installing and messing around with The Gimp, which is just fantastic.
Unfortunately, I have forgotten absolutely everything I ever learned about graphics stuff, which makes me feel downright pathetic. So I decided to pull up a picture I saved a long time ago and try to remember how to make it a bit less blah in terms of colouring.
Fifteen minutes later, this is the progression I've made:
(The original)
to:
(My veddy first icon, the edge of which was eaten when I wasn't paying attention. Maybe he's a "Time Loro". :D)
So... yeah. It was frustrating and all that, but it was fun. The Gimp is basically identical to Photoshop, so all the layers and curves and such work in very similar ways. And the Gimp is free!
So I'm gonna be doing a bit of this, too. Whee!
