Does anyone here know where one could find a tutorial about making your own ink splatter brushes? I know how to make brushes in GIMP, but I don't know how to get this nice splatter effect... I'd like to experiment a bit with this. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

There are so many things you can do with Gimp, but sometimes, you just want a quick and easy click and point kind of thing. Maybe you're pressed for time, or - more likely, you just want to experiment and see what's out there.
( Scripts and brushes )
Don't forget the read the README notes with each collection. They usually include installation instructions.

Have fun.

As an aspiring icon and wallpaper-maker, and GIMP-user, I staretd searching for brushes for GIMP today. While textures are usually provided as .jpg s, brushes are a different beast. As I am searching for more, I will continue to update this post with resources.

EDIT: Okay, appearantly from version 2.4 on you can also use Photoshop brushes on GIMP? I never knew, even though I have 2.6. Huh.

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...

I've found an interesting article featuring how you can make GIMP a good Photoshop replacement option. Obviously, it's directed towards people who might still have doubts about using GIMP, but the article is also worth reading by people who already use GIMP (on a regular basis). The article explains how you can install plug-ins, brushes and filters, how you can install layer styles (layer effects), how to add CMYK color ceparation, what to do to install liquid rescale (the altering of an image without distortion) and the GIMP animation package, how to anchor GIMP's loose docks and toolbars if you don't like them, and how you can easily enable GEGL (Generic Graphical Library).

At the end of the article, there's also a link list of resources including 11 different GIMP brushes and a tutorial about how you can create your own brushes, and 30+ GIMP tutorials & resources.
