Time for something a bit different

[Issabella]

Awesome! I like the natural texture and hue you got. Shapes and light are like real ones.

[oldmangrumpy]

Issabella - thank you; as always I appreciate your feedback.

[teapot]

Really good stoneware texture OMG, your pots look real

[oldmangrumpy]

Teapot - thank you.

Some time back I made some brushes from my cartoon portraits; now using them in a plea for peace in this eastern hemisphere.

[oldmangrumpy]

Sometimes I think it is Gimp that keeps me sane; here is one called 'life mirror'.

[oldmangrumpy]

Taking Sallyanne's Sandy Portrait concept but extending it via the filter parameters and the content itself.

Given that there is currently some forum focus on Gradient Blend, here is another mandala, much of which is contributed from the Path Blend script.

[Issabella]

OMG, it's always so pleasant to see your creations as they are always innovative and with so many details.

[oldmangrumpy]

Issabella - thanks for your kind words.

Here is an oldie but a goodie; did the chalice with Path Blend and stroked some paths for the faces.

Christmas Day gone, Boxing Day gone ... New Year to come next.

I was playing with mandalas and also with paisley - so I combined them in a wooden theme. So many thanks to GnuTux ... could not live without his BRL. Regular viewers would note that I have also been playing with tartan backgrounds

Awesome result, OMG and I agree with you about BRM.

[oldmangrumpy]

Wallace and Lyle - thanks both.

Here is another wooden mandala again very much BRL based.

[oldmangrumpy]

With horns of gold - using Graechan's fur script.

[teapot]

Nice work OMG Graechan's fur script is a good one.

[oldmangrumpy]

Thanks Teapot; here are some green rings.
