Looks like i need to practice on making my pdfs
Don't know what they look like on your PCs but the images are way to big on my 17" laptop
I use LibreOffice draw to make them, what do you guys use?

I use LibreOffice too, but mine show each image step over in the left margin, yours just shows the text. Do you use the defaults when you are making your pdf's.
BTW, I think yours are great, they are nice and clear.

Looks difficult but I was surprised how easy it was. Lot harder to make the surface look 3D as well.

Like you your image. At first I thought it was some sort of golden egg or something in a colander and the hand was holding chopsticks? Then I looked at it a little closer. :rofl Nice work.

Now all we need to do is figure out how to make the inside of the ring blank and add some embossed text with one of those elvish fonts like this one. http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=aelfa

True Drac, but beyond my laziness pedigree. lol

Yup, the ring was forged out of the virtual Lava of GIMP Esper. lol

And to Mike; that just plain hurts. lol

I use LibreOffice Writer to make my pdf's. I think Draw is probably trying to make slides for you. Try Writer and see if you get better results on your pdf files.

Your tutorial and the results I see are really great.
