Sadly when GMS left... that secret left with him.

I'm aware that this an old topic/posting, but this is the splash screen I made and currently use for my GIMP.

wallace: that's really cool, i like the hex pattern.

gms: i loved that splash screen, are you still using it?

Yes, it's the splash I'm currently using for my GIMP 2.6.11; I also put together a few splash screens for GIMP2.8, but haven't installed 2.8 yet on my machine.

Let's have a look. I really like the one you posted.

He's a recently created GIMP splash screen I made for GIMP 2.8, I called it "summer"...

Very clean and professional looking. Nuttin' wrong with that one either.

C'mon, now, stop stickin' yer toe in the water....jump in and let's see them all!

Okay, Here's the ones that I could find...

And these...

Still more...

I can't forget these...

And finally, these 2...

wallace: your splashscreens are outstanding! "curves" and "wiggle", the colorful 2.8 splash and that delicious hippie splash are my favourites but they're all great. could you by any chance do a tutorial on that rainbow ribbon thingy...?

Thanks, as much as I would like to make a tutorial about how I made that image. I simply can't remember how I managed to accomplish the entire thing.
Most if not all of my work is done on the fly.
I can remember that it was a series of twisted grid patterns that I moved the perspective of, along with some applied iwarp. Also used color levels to effect the lines in certain areas.
I also don't think I'd be very good a putting together tut's. Mostly because I can't seem to recall every step along the way, so that others would be able to follow.
I'm sorry for this lame excuse.

wallace: never mind, but it's a lovely flow in that rainbow ribbon - i'll have a goal for my experiments

These screens all show such creative imagination...I lack that.

Thanks, again I'm sorry I can't give more about it to you and everyone else, but I really can't remember what I did.
Your not the first to ask me about that "rainbow"... I'm sorry to say that I had to give them the same answer I gave you.

Thanks...
So far I've been able to create everything I've thought of using GIMP and some that never even came to mind, but were accidentally created from experimentation.

I don't think that's true of anybody. We all had a creative imagination as children and it's still in there somewhere. I think you just lack confidence in your ability. My advice is be a child on the canvas and play lots.

It's easy for us men - we never grow up anyway.
