GIMP Splashes

If you liked the idea, Odin, where is your splash! :hoh

That was the only idea here - everyone shares his/her GIMPmade splashes.

k1tesseraena: nice job on that splash screen! i remember when you posted that last one, i couldn't look at it for long because the weird tentacle-like things reminded me of spider's legs - i could never have used a splash screen like that!

esper: oh yes, wallace made such fantastic splash screens! maybe he will come back if the gc crowd invades his deviantartpage? btw, where would the re-post police suggest that we post our splash screens - old thread or this thread?

I never changed the default splash, but now I set this one, provisionally, I'm thinking eliminate the grid and add the credits (carved).

its all about the reincarnation these days AnMal :mrgreen:

and where have you been again ? :hoh

everytime you vanish, this boards fun factor drops to dangerous levels

also my e-awesomeness has increased by 55 posts, how will you ever keep up, if you are going on like this ??
once upon a time you has more post than i and i
no more :hehe

jamac4k: but the grid looks cool, why do have to take it away? couldn't you just hack some parts of it away where you have the text? or is that what you meant?
esper: i think you've got some things wrong: the gimp chat crowd is here to keep me entertained - not the other way around

ha!!! 1000 posts in 6 m - 15 d, i just broke your record by fifteen days!

anyway, here's my splash screen - it's the only one i've ever made and probably the only one i'll ever make. i usually customize and personalize anything just for the sake of it, but i actually like the paintbrush picture with the nice warm colours in the default 2.8 splash (really, k1te, what's sad about that one?), so i only use my own when i want to impress friends with my geek factor (most of them think it must be an extremely advanced technical process to replace a splash screen and i don't tell them they're wrong).

Nice splash screens, I'm afriad I'm all a bit dull and boring and mine is still set to the default.

I made this one shortly after i joined here and use it the most

this one i just made, still needs some work

getting hammered with snow again today, after i get done plowing i think i'll take some pics of the snow and make a winter one

You live on the wrong side of the border acl, up here in Kingston we have no snow...and this is supposed to be North Pole according to some... :teeth

Lol @ Esper.
I must admit to being part of the boring crowd. I always keep the default screens because it's easier...oooh, I guess I am part of the lazy crowd, too!

Sorry, I did not mean to steal the thread, Mr.Justice :mrgreen:

BTW, the last post on that thread was exactly on the day I joined GC. So, I guess, that strips me off the alibi.
I need to call my lawer :bawl

@Anmal It was not spiders tentacles, Esper thinks it's

its obiously very good, but damn, that looks like an invasion of the bodysnatchers remix with a furry tentacle grabbing an (alien) egg :sneak

So don't be afraid, weren't you abducted by aliens recently?
Congrats on your 1000's, btw!

@jamac4k Why did you throw Mr.Wilber behind the bars? :hoh

What are the charges, anyway?

I should have said, 'I like your style'. I don't have a custom splash; now that you called me out I guess I'd better get busy :paint

@ alc. Good job, alc. I used to have animated gifs as GIMP splashes too. Looks nice, can you make a smaller planet (Moon, Titan?) orbit the bigger one? I know you can do it, your animation skills are quite impressive.

@Odin OK, but if your family won't see you for a while, don't blame it on me, all right? :hehe

#AnMal: Maybe, i'm thinking how get the effect as if it had done oxyacetylene cutting, thinking about the smoke spots.

#K1TesseraEna, I'm trying with Wilber shade in carved effect.

Could we make a collection of splash for other users?.

K1TesseraEna · **Joined:** Sep 22, 2012 **Posts:** 2089 **Location:** US

Of course, we can.
There was a GIMP 2.8 splash contest 2 years ago on gimpusers.com but i don't think the contestants' works are/were avalable for download. We can go further and have our own contest. I love challenges, but on GC voting is not possible, I guess. Nevertheless, just a repository of gimp Slpashes is a worthy idea too.

you guys are far too quick for me today! or maybe it's me being far too slow for you.
anyway:

he4rty and 2-ton: you're definitely not boring, i think the default splash screens are well chosen!
alc59:really good splash screens, especially the animated one! and if you make a winter one with snow on it i hope you'll share it

!
molly: what latitude are you on? i'm on 57. we don't have any snow here either, temperature around 39 F and i miss my old hometown where there's still snow and below freezing point!
esper: to put it in verse: "i know that expression so very well - you think i'm the scarlet pimpernel!"
k1tesseraena: thank you

. in fact, i wasn't abducted by aliens, i was the alien busy abducting poor innocent earthlings - so even less reason to be afraid, that may actually be my tentacles you have depicted.
jamac4k: oxyacetylene cut grid would be simply wicked!! at least give it a try!

These aliens.

So, my inner noob might be showing, but I have no idea how to change the splash screen for gimp.
