A small minimalist wallpaper pack created using GIMP.

Sizes included are:

3200x1200 dual screen
2560x1600
1600x1200
1024x768

My Q series of wallpapers created are rendered, and can be reproduced for any size monitor or monitors, from cell phones to any number of multiple monitors without cropping or clipping.
No need to stretch or shrink the wallpapers; just ask for other size wallpapers.

I found this cool picture of a Lamborghini Gallardo last year.

Well anyhow, I decided to test my GIMP skills to recreate it.

Almost a year later, here is the result.



Funny how when one cleans out their hard drive, the many unfinished projects pop up.

These?

I only created the bottom one using the original top image to start from, and it took about forty to fifty hours.  It was a couple hours a day after work, but when I was almost finished I ended up doing other projects.  I spent about thirty minutes on it last night after finding the uncompleted project.

I am glad I found it again.  I also found other images that I have created which I will release to the public on deviantART that I have created and have forgotten.

Kitty Kat by Tectix on deviantART has this great close up picture of a cat.



With permission I made this fractal manipulation of his cat.
GIMP was used to render this creation.

I was recently asked to do a tutorial of Tectix Kitty Kat on deviantART.  I kind of declined, but not really.  Here was the request, and my response.

great work can you make a tutorial how to do this in gimp? I often use gimp, but I don't know how this works... ^^

Thank you.
A tutorial with this image or one of your choosing?
Better yet, I will give you everything you need to make one exactly like this using the original image from Tectix at http://fav.me/d5g49sr
The cats name which I found out later is Pilchard.

The Kitty Kat, I used GMIC, which can be found here.
http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml…

The filter used was called Rodilius inside GMIC / Artistic / Rodilius.


The settings I used for that particular image were 10 10 300 36 Light All.  There are many settings to use to change images.  I just experiment with them until I get an image I like. The same settings can not be used with all images, as images can be different colors, sizes and other aspects which could change the outcome of the final image.

Here is a good start for you to maximize your GIMP tools and scripts.
GIMP fx foundry can be found here.

I have been using GIMP for about 23 years.  Some images are just trial and error.  I have my GIMP settings to have an undo of about 70.  It may seem like a lot, but when one is trying so many different things to see what all the tools are capable of, and all the settings associated with it, one tends to undo many steps to start where it last looked good.

Here is many tutorials to get started.

I know some are of Inkscape, and Photoshop, but I have attempted to recreate the same images created with those other applications with a good deal of success.

Good luck, and have some fun...

So, there you have it...  my not so good tutorial.

A new wallpaper to change up my desktop.



Made with GIMP.

I have decided to create a video of Kitty Kat.

Using sixty screen shots of the process and adding some music.
Each screen shot has a slight change to each image.  The first twenty images may look like not much is happening to the image, but the filters used can not be seen until the other forty layers were added.  A total of sixty layers created the fractal of the original image.  I proposed a simple tutorial to show how one can use scripts to make the entire process less painful, but I did all sixty layers without a script, and made a screen shot of each change until you see the final image.

Those that are new to GIMP or do not have enough patience to do this much work, just follow the simple tutorial which will allow one to create the same image in twenty minutes or less.  Otherwise, they can do what I did, which took about six hours to make.  Then another four hours to process all sixty shots into a video.

Enjoy.

The wallpaper that you just made is awesome, Cope! It looks surprisingly good for that.

Using it now ... looks pretty good. Reminds me of some of the old wallpapers from the 1999 e16 era, forgot what they were called though.
