Let there be apples....

Taking Ofnut's advice and finding inspiration from JosephBupe's apple, I've been toying with creating apple skin texture for text, using only GIMP.

Feel free to join in with your own variation if you want, but please, don't use real apple textures. Where's the fun in that?

Excellent result Mahvin. Maybe you can provide a link to your inspirations since I'm too lazy to do a search. lol

edit:

Well I found JosephBupe's post.

That's great, mahvin. I particularly like the bites and stem you added. Makes it much more "appley."

As soon as I am totally happy with my texture, I'll wrap it around G'MIC's 3D Lathe of something more apple shaped. Should make for some interesting (I hope). Thanks for all the nice comments and the inspiration.

I think you should add a bruise.

It does look sweet though Mahvin very nice typography.
