Admirable work, Chris, as usual!

I followed some of your Inkscape tutorials but the one I particularly fond of (Nähen mit Inkscape) is nowhere to be found.
Link seems to be broken.
Could you please provide a link to the text tutorial (English or German, doesn't matter).

Thank you!

Oh, yes. It its now in my Inkscape-forum. You can found it here:

There are also some German GIMP-tutorials:

those inkscape tutorials are lovely, i have to try them!

Chris F · **Posted:** Mon Jan 28, 2013 5:24 am **(#34)**

Hey! I see you found and tested some of my tutorials...yeah! It is great to share it with you!
The glass text is very similar to this tutorial here on Gimpchat:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5126

I add also some white reflections like my candytext:

(Step 10-14)

That is how i create some shiny text effects.

I love that too. I tried it in GIMP but it didn't come out as well as that. It looks so real.

EDIT: That tute looks like it is done in GIMP, not Inkscape. I understand most of it but there are a lot of steps that I couldn't get . Is there any way to get it in English? :oops:

I also don't know where these little squares come up in GIMP. How do I get them...or do I need them?

Chris F · **Posted:** Mon Jan 28, 2013 9:04 am **(#36)**

@molly: which one do you mean? I can translate some of the parts.

Esper · **Joined:** Jul 17, 2012 **Posts:** 2769

im pretty sure they are talking about the fur-text-video-tut, Chris

molly · **Joined:** Apr 07, 2010 **Posts:** 14182

Yes it is the fur on Chris. I really like it but I don't have those brushes you are using with the dots nor I quite understand the whole tute.

Great Chris! :clap

Ok, you need no special brushes. Use the new Bristles.
Dark color for the background and some brighter colors for the texture.
Then smudging! Thats all. Note: little brush sizes = more work, but realistic outcome.
Hope that helps you molly.
