Here's a nice way to make moon crater text.

Nice work, and nice tutorial.

Very cool effect. Thanks for the PDF.

ek22, I see cookies

You must be a mind reader!
I'm making a space scene for my next GC banner. I've already got the planets in place though. Would have been cool to use this texture in the scene. Maybe next time.

Nice tutorial.

Mars and Curiosity

Nice results.

I'm not stopping you from using a moon texture. You can even use this one if the mood so strikes you. As far as I'm concerned it's all open source and stuff.

Odin: It's moon sandies, best kind of cookies.

O: That's a nice mars texture. I left it uncolored because I figured people will want to play with it and apply it in creative ways. (Looking at you here Wallace.)

thanks for another tut, EK !

could you put your name in the pdf-filename next time, pls !
makes finding tutorials on my hd much easier

Wow, that is cool O. Love the texture.
If it were more on the yellow hues, it would look like that sponge toffee we used to get in the bricks...made with white sugar, corn syrup, baking soda and water, and a candy thermometer.[align=center]

EDIT... thanks for the PDF EK.

Cool gram...what is that in its mouth? a candy or a Gem

It is very easy gram, here ya go.
Sponge Toffee

Looks yummy, Molly

Oh, never thought of that. Feel free to rename it to your liking though. I don't mind.

molly: That sponge toffee now makes me want some, as well as some peanut brittle maybe.

You're welcome. It makes me happy to be able to pass on some of the things I've learned that are kind of natural to me now. There was a time when I didn't know any things about gimp and yeah, I gobbled up all the tutorials I could find too. That's what brought me here in the first place. I lurked gimpchat for about 6 months before I ever dared to post. I was in awe of all the information these guys assembled here.
