Squares and Rectangles Aimated Brush

As the title says, Squares and Rectangles Animated Brush. I really don't know what this brush might be use for, but I got the idea form making a text ball/globe in this thread viewtopic.php?f=22&t=11860#p160274.

Here's a preview image that I made using this brush, enjoy.

So productive Wallace, and I find the brush very interesting. I'll think of something to use it. Thank you so much. :clap

Thanks Issabella.
Unfortunately I feel that I shouldn't have included a drop shadow as part of the brush. What's done is done.

Hi Wallace,

The brush preview in the brush tab appears too small. Maybe you can consider increasing the preview size:

I don't understand?
Are you suggesting that I somehow have control over the brushes preview image that is displayed in your Gimp brush dialog?

@Wallace:
For a brush pipe, the preview image displayed in the brushes dialog is simply the FIRST image in the pipe.
Unfortunately, in your "Squares and Rectangles Animated Brush", the first image is of a very small rectangle ..hence it hardly shows up in the dialog tile. If you've still got your .xcf for this pipe you could simply move a larger image to the first position (presumably the bottom layer) or even present a composite of a largish square and a largish rectangle.

Thanks Jontait2, but I'm aware of this and the brush will remain as is. Unless those that wish to change this actually do so, by opening the brush as an image and moving the layers themselves.
