Wallace suggested an Easter egg hunt in one of my detailed deep dreamed images, so here it is. Two "eggs" (wanted more, but I've had a bad migraine for a couple of days), one very easy to find, the other hopefully a bit less easy. And I post it under "Gimp Art" since I've really had to gimp it hard, both before and after running it through the Deep Dream generator, so it counts, okay?


Oh, I almost forgot: When you've found the Easter eggs, you can brag about it in a post, but please don't tell anyone where they are - I'll reveal it on Tuesday so anyone who wants to hunt gets a chance.

Yay I found them. One of them was difficult but once you see it you can't un-see it.

I'm not a fun of "hunts", so I do not partecipate.
Just wanted to say that I found your creation a very nice "abstract decoration" (not "abstract art" because the composition is realistically well described). Great!

AnMal, your creations are really superb! you have so much talent in a very nice personal art.

Thats very clever. I found one easily but not the other.
BTW. Migraines - have your thyroid function tested.

Think I will come back Tuesday and see if I was right/half right

Nice creation AnMal, found Easter eggs.

Erisian: Thank you for doing your duty as official head of the Gimp Chat Easter egg hunt - but of course you had no choice, it was by the power of Greyskull...
Dinasset: Thank you And no worries, you should only do the hunting if it's fun of course!
Issabella: Thank you, but you're making me blush now!
Tas_mania: Thank you! Hmm, I'm in two minds about that difficult one, should I make it easier or not? Also, do you have migraines yourself? I didn't know there could be a connection to thyroid function, but for other reasons I've been tested for both type thyroid problems and it looks normal. Ah the things you learn on GC!
Sallyanne: Thank you for taking part ! I'm sure you were right.
Nidhogg: Well done, fellow viking, and thanks for taking part!

Wallace: Well done and thank you, brother! This was fun, I hope other people make Easter egg hunts too.

Too late to change the art now. I don't suffer from migraines, evolution seemed to give me a strong head. I know thyroid problems can cause migraines. Something with the pituitary gland or pineal gland can be the cause - I'm no MD so should stick to what I know.

I like the easter eggs as a marketing idea. Tuesday gets here a day earlier than the EU so I have to wait until Wednesday. Luckily there are other things in my life

Okay, it's Tuesday and I promised to post the reveal, so here it is!

The easy one was of course Wilber (with the bell pepper in his mouth) on the portrait, and the less easy one was the infamous bell pepper brush itself. That brush is something all gimpers know well and over the years probably the thing that has made most new users go: "But WHY??!" If you're an old member of GC you may know that we have a nice animated alternately coloured bell pepper brush to complement the original: Epic bell pepper moment.
Now it's someone else's turn to hide the Easter eggs! Come on people, you know you want to give this a try!

Tas_Mania: I actually looked into it after your post, and decided to take it up on my upcoming Doctor's appointment, see if they think I need to re-test. Gimp Chat - where information meets hypochondria

Hi

I'm a total beginner.

Is it possible to get an explanation of how to find these eggs

step by step

thanks

I did find them

The green pepper blends perfectly with rest of the image, but if you've played enough with the default brush set you can't miss it.
Would be nice if this continued, might by hard to come up with many Gimp related Easter eggs though.
Thanks for the Bell Pepper link AnMal didn't have that, and of course your beautiful art.

Looks fantastic AnMal. Just wish you could run DeepDream on your own PC instead of waiting for a result, but the wait's usually worth it, but, as you mentioned, you still have to do a lot of pre and post processing but that's the fun of it, too.

Wolfram4215: I'm not sure I understand you, or if maybe you misunderstand the thread? It's just images hidden in another image for people to find, just for the fun of it.
Sallyanne: I thought you would .
Nidhogg: Other Gimp related Easter eggs may be hard to come up with, but what about Gimp Chat related ones? Or just general interest ones? They do it in movies and computer games all the time, so it shoudn't be that hard. And of course it would be up to the Easter egg hider (would that be the Easter bunny? Have I been doubling as a rabbit without even thinking of it?!) if they wanted to give clues or not.
Lylejk: Thank you! Yep, without all the gimp work deep dream wouldn't be as much fun.

Yep, I used to be quite hardcore gamer and we always were searching for Easter eggs after finishing the main story.
It sounds like a good topic idea. Easter egg does not necessarily require any hints so the funny Easter bunny could just post the picture and hide in the rabbit hole, until right answer is given.
