Hi,

I think it was a weekend of activity I had with GIMP !

Here is another art work I did, all with GIMP. I have included an xcf below.

That looks really good, how much of it did you do yourself? Surely not all of it, that tag looks real! The key has a few off-center parts, but it also look good.

To upload a file into your post, scroll down just below the Submit and Preview buttons and you should have an attachment section. For the Filename section, press the Browse button and find your XCF file. Then post. You should be able to edit this and add the file attachment it...

Nice work. It looks like a vector image.

Yes, xcf files can be added as attachments as Amanda pointed out.

Looking at your xcf file: I think the shadow could be made gray to look more like a shadow, or left colored to look like a reflection on a glass object. It would need more work though. Nice job on the angle of the reflection. I see you did not include it in your image.

The bevel on the left of the "key handle" seems like it should also be added to the left of the "key stem" to me.
Or maybe a slightly more defined bevel on the other side of the handle to make it look like the key is laying straight down in front of you. I noticed in the XCF your shadow looked like the bevel was going from the right side so i was just wondering if you noticed that also?
Does look pretty realistic though. :)
Nice work.

Especially the tag very nice looking design.Looks very real.I like the way you added the part around the string hole.

Nice job bro, looks a little rugged (bevel part of the handle on the key) smooth that out a bit, and it's golden :bigthup
