Description EDIT!
After almost three months I decided the colors were too drastic and hard to see. Therefore I re-uploaded the tutorial, the background is now GIMP Grey instead of black and has a less noticeable print in the background as well.
I'm also uploading it as a PNG image this time around to see if that helps with dA's glitching. I don't know about you but all my JPEG images are coming out VERY blurry if they're loading at all.

Hopefully these changes will help more than hurt. And remember to let me guys know what you think.

End Edit.


Alright, let's see if this is easy for us to wrap our heads around!

I based this tutorial off my very popular first manipulation tutorial.
It's much simpler (I.E. SIMPLIFIED) so this should work well for both beginners and experienced eye manipulators alike.
It took only half the time I thought it would and I was even able to create and upload my XP Wallpaper Pack and Vista Wallpaper Pack !

Hopefully you guys like those as well!

And sorry if the background is a little overzealous as well.
I wanted a way to copyright it without having to use my watermark so I decided to use my signature.
I felt like I was looking at a freakin' wanna-be Louis Vuitton bag for hours on end.
Again, sorry about that.

Well hopefully you guys find this much more useful than my most recent tutorials.
And links are as follows bellow!

I used this tutorial on a cat picture I found for a character in a RP. I can't believe how I did that! Love the tutorial! Thanks!

Mwhaha! I have done this tutorial twice trying to figure out your trick and I did it! I'm a total newb when it comes to cosmetic manips but I followed this tutorial and blew everyone away, I'm going to get a little more balls-y with my colors now! And use two eyes instead of one :3. Thanks Onyx-Tigress!

Very easy to follow tutorial! I've been using GIMP for years, but never really got in depth with each of the tools. I now realize my "hate" for the dodge/burn tool was more of a "I don't really understand you" LoL I used the same stock photo to follow along with it and this is what I came up withΒ mumuhfur6.deviantart.com/art/E…


BTW - I think I figured out your "secret". I've been doing the same thing with other projects, and when I applied it to this one, I was like "Hey! Thats what she did!!" LoL

Used your tutorial - and even the same stock to make sure I was getting it right! Even though I can see some flaws in my work, I am still in love with how easy your tutorial was to follow! I now have a new found love of the burn/dodge tool!! Thanks!


BTW - I figured out your "secret".. LoL Β I've used that same technique myself in other projects..
