Then, because I'm all textured out for the moment, something TOTALLY different. This was done in PSP 8, but should translate without any major problems into GIMP and PS.

Tutorial 08: Cartoon Coloring with Papa Smurf
Step 1: Resize the image to 100x100.
-- With your image open, go to File>New and open a new blank image, 100x100. Then go back to your original picture, click on the layer in your layer palette and drag from the layer palette onto the blank base. You'll end up with something that looks strange, but don't worry. Now go to Image> resize and set it to anything between 75-20 percent, depending on the image. Make sure the box that says "resize all layers is not checked. If it's too big or too small, just undo and mess with it until you get what you like. For Papa Smurf, I used 75 %. Then just use your move tool to slide the image over until you have it where you want it.
Step 2: Sharpen the base.
--Image>adust>sharpness>sharpen. Only once Sometimes you can get away with twice. If I find a base still blurry, I duplicate the layer, then sharpen the duplicate. This way, if it's too sharp, I can just lower the opacity.
Step 3: Enhance the coloring.
Merge visible layers and duplicate twice.
Set the first to Burn
Set the second to Overlay.
Step 4: Fix the background.
Use your Magic Wand tool to select the gray background on the overlay layer.
When it's all selected and you have an outline around the rest of the image, go to Selections>modify>feather by 5 px.
Now delete the background.
Step 5: Apply a Gaussian Blur.
Deselect the image.
Go to Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur and set the radius to around 4.
If you want to enhance the blur a bit, duplicate the layer and set to 66 % or thereabouts.
Step 6The Border
Create a new layer and flood fill with whatever color you want.
Selections> Select All
Selections>Modify>Contract by 2
Selections>Modify>Feather by 5.
Edit>Cut

mythographica, I have one more. This is a PSP 8 tutorial that kind of combines things I did in the previous two I've posted. Again, it should translate easily into GIMP and PS And it uses my favorite subject. *grin*

Tutorial 09: Oh, the Pout!
Step 1: Choose an image and resize 100x100.
-- With your image open, go to File>New and open a new blank image, 100x100. Then go back to your original picture, click on the layer in your layer palette and drag from the layer palette onto the blank base. You'll end up with something that looks totally wrong, but hang in there. Now go to Image> resize and set it to anything between 75-20 percent, depending on the image. Make sure the box that says "resize all layers is not checked. Click OK and voila! Magic! If it's too big or too small, just undo and mess with it until you get what you like. For Daniel, I used 25 percent. Then just use your move tool to slide the image over to where you want it.--
Step 2: Sharpen the base.
--Image>adust>sharpness>sharpen. Only once Sometimes you can get away with twice. If I find a base still blurry, I duplicate the layer, then sharpen the duplicate. This way, if it's too sharp, I can just lower the opacity.
Step 3: Duplicate the base four times. Yes. Four.
Set the first to Burn
Set the second and third to Screen at 100%.
Set the top layer to Screen at 58 %.
You should now have something like this:
Step 4: Copy Merged
Paste as a new layer.
Set to Soft Light.
I know, it looks sort of weird…
Step 5: The glowy thing
Duplicate the soft light layer.
Change the blend mode to screen and reduce opacity to 86.
Now apply a Gaussian Blur
--Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur with a radius of about 4--
Step 6 Saran Wrap?
Take this texture:
Paste as a new layer.
Mirror and flip it so that the funky whitish part is in the upper left corner.
--Image>Mirror
--Image>Flip
Set to Overlay at 98% and erase the parts that cover Daniel.
Step 7 Saran Wrap Part 2
Take this texture:
Paste as a new layer
Set to Overlay at 92 % and again erase the parts that cover Daniel
Step 8The Border
Create a new layer and flood fill with whatever color you want.
Selections> Select All
Selections>Modify>Contract by 2
Selections>Modify>Feather by 5.

So, I've had them sitting on my hard drive collecting dust for months. lol.

The Tribe...is that that Australian show? With the kids, in a sorta post apocalyptic future thing?
no subject
Yeah, that would be The Tribe. I've never seen it, actually, but I know all about it because my friend never stops talking about it. Can't say much though, because I do tend to make him listen when I talk about SG-1.

and yeah, hey, i used to wear freaking wonder woman under-roos. which were the coolest of cool! and i always had a thing for the way she would spin... i cracked my head many times, trying to perfect it, as a kid... which i suppose would explain why half the people at work called me crazy on my birthday card today...

What I love about WW is that she isn't like, "The female equivalent of..." some male superhero. I mean, I love pretty much all superhero stuff, but still...
