experimenting with Inner Glows, i made this:

Esper,

Simply ... Perfect!

esper: that's the most beautiful of all those (im)perfection effects! really looks like it would go well with a fake arabic font too. hmm... i wonder what it would look like on some paisleys.....

beautiful Esper, you got those text modes and steps down t a science.

thanks everybody <3
tutorial later (this is real easy)

@AnMal: i was hoping you would like this, and my first thought was to post it under "Attn AnMal"

It is a really discreet text effect and i love this one!

Looks good Esper, don't know how you do it, your Gimp must be stuck in text mode

Totally gorgeous. Esper should also do tutorials on "good taste". He has a huge potential audience on the net (present company excepted of course )

haha, yes alc, i was wondering if i will ever do something else than texteffects...
but its such a rewarding format to work with

whoa, thank you ofnuts !

i didn't have time to wait for a tutorial, i had to try the "arabian nights effect" on a couple of paisleys at once - made it this morning, before my external hard drive fell seriously ill and gave me other things to think of. i don't think it turned out too bad, though it's a little bit jagged. probably from the curve contour.


posting it like "arabian nights" had the exact same effect .

AnMal,

I love that arabian paisley yours!!
It's gorgeous (new word to me)!!
Excellent!

akros: thank you ! that's very flattering to hear. i'm not entirely happy with the paisleys myself, but now there's a tutorial out i'll give it a new go.

AnMal,
Oh my God , that paisley is perfect! Really!
I do not know if it would be possible to do better!
He seems to be in 3D, and very crystalline! Congratulations!
I think I deserve a tutorial!
