GIMP Gate

Don't know what to do at the moment? Lacking any inspiration? Then try your hand at making your very own Paper Wilber! You can dowload the template here. Cats seem to like Wilber too, so if you're not sure what to do with Paper Wilber, maybe your cat does... :)

In other news:

An upcoming feature in Photoshop is the "Content-Aware Fill", but GIMP users can already do this with the Resynthesizer plugin by Paul Harrison, which is explained more here with a few examples. The plugin allows you, among other things, to remove objects from images.

I've created a new community - iconfinder - for people who like me could need some help in finding specific (themed) icons. Relevance for gimp_gate? Um, people's search requests can be a great source of inspiration for all you icon makers/gimp users out there when you have no idea what your next batch of icons should feature... ;)

In case you haven't heard yet, erda is running Three Weeks for Dreamwidh in celebration of Dreamwitdh's one-year anniversary (the start date for the fest is planned to be Monday, April 26). The idea is that participants post content specifically produced for the fest only on DW - for three weeks from the posting date. After that time you can post it wherever you want (and, yes, you can continue posting your regular content as you like). If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the fest, please comment on erda's entry.

So, let's celebrate this together! I'll participate, too :) And speaking of creating content, here is a great collection of (gimp) brushes to look for inspiration...
