Hackergotchis - My Talents Seem Limited...

Posted by Marcus D. Hanwell on
After Steve Dibb's post about hackergotchis I figured I would have another crack at making one... Tried Krita but couldn't figure out how to get it to feather the selection, moved over to Gimp and I did better but the cut out isn't exactly smooth and the drop shadow went around the whole image, not just my face. I also couldn't quite figure out how hackergotchis handle long hair? May be I should try and dig out a picture where I had my hair tied back instead to make it easier!

If anyone wants to have a play I would appreciate it - or just give me some further pointers. I have put a few pictures below, there are more scattered in my online gallery too. Finish off my rescue diver course tomorrow too - all day out at Capernwray doing exercises and scenarios! Hopefully we will manage to squeeze a dive in after the course too...

Daniel RibasHi, I did something, but I don't know where to send it to you. :-)

Anyway, at the wikipedia page linked from Steve's blog, there is a nice video tutorial about how to do it with gimp.

Marcus D. HanwellSorry - you can send it to cryos@gentoo.org. I watched the video and read the tutorials too... My artistic talents aren't as great as my programming skills but I was thinking about having another go today :-) I would love to see what you came up with.
