:confused: *thought you did use gimp*

i used the square select instead of lasso or wand... made all the difference... i spent hours figuring this out since i was too reluctant to use the square... :lol:
 
what is that sparkly pixie dust called like in gikoku's pics?
is that possible in gimp? what is the tool called in PS? :)

It was most likely a small round paint brush on more than one layer with the opacity and or layer settings changed each time.

I just used a regular circle brush, set to 2-3px in size, and adjusted the scatter settings of it. The dust effects that look like feathers, was the same brush, just liquefied (and smudging of other stuff).

I imagine a simple circle brush should be available to you in GIMP at the least (I don't use GIMP, so I'm not sure), if not, then you can download some DeviantArt GIMP Brushes.

You're welcome, idjut. Glad I could help. :)

EDIT:

Here's another new piece from me I just finished...

Thoughts?

The light source is too much white for me, it'd probably look smexy if you have a photo filter on cooling filter but you have gimp. :sick:

LMAO ! I was kidding. Anyway here's is my final and last version of TimeShift, f.y.i:

Your best sig IMO.
C&C:
- The text ruins the focal completly
- Effects are great, but messy in areas
- The render isn't very dominant of the focal, some sharpening and blurring on low opacity in areas should fix this.
- Not sure if I'm feeling the colours
- Lighting needs work, there is alot of lighting all over the C4D's/effects, and there isn't a source that works with this
- Digging the border, can't decide on the shadow

Other then that, effects are nice, but generally could be improved.
Also I feel the same sort of feel throughout all your sigs, dark with the same kinda style. You should experiment with other styles, you learn pretty easily and I recon you could adapt to other styles.
