It's even better than the banners I made.
Thank you for the compliment, even though it was a subjective statement.
I can say that I have been using
GIMP for about sixteen years, and it has helped me know the tools of the application. I can say that I am not as proficient with Inkscape or Photoshop as I would like to be, but I can recreate most tutorials from them using GIMP.
Kind of off topic, but have you ever seen what some individuals can do with
MS Paint? It is unbelievable, but then again, they have mastered the tools. I can make boxes and stick figures with MS Paint, and that is about it. If one can say to another that their works look great, one can only say thank you.
I do not know what application you use, but I am sure that if you use as many tutorials as you can, no matter the source, and try your best at completing the project to your satisfaction, it would look great to another that does not have the patience or skills to accomplish the same. I am sure many of your works look great to me, and would only inspire me to do something similar. Hopefully
THIS LINK can inspire you as well. These links are an assortment of tutorials that I have gathered during my time using GIMP, and hopefully they will inspire you also.
Since I am replying to a signature thread, I think I should share some of my works with you.
