the GIMP Tut #6 - Stam
to
in the GIMP.
This tutorial is super-easy, and I love the outcome. Brief knowledge of the GIMP is required.
1. Start with your base.
2. Go to Filters --> Colors --> Color to Alpha. The color you want is white.
(The preview image looks crappy beause I had to say .gif)
3. Make a new layer and fill it with a dark purple. Drag this layer below the base layer
4. I used Filters --> Light Effects --> Supernova and put the nova thing where her face is. (70, 41) Make sure the nova's radius is 33.
5. I played around with the Hue (Layers --> Colors --> Hue and Saturation) and decided on a gold-ish color.
