No, they're a pack (a family unit) of wolves.

Your very good at Photo Manipulation. You and Rayen both are. It's so not fair.

lol, well I can help you if you'd like. I already made a tutorial for this and it's basically what I do. It takes practice and many hours of looking through the dA resources on tutorials.

Sure, I would love that!
Rayen has tried to teach me a little bit, so I know a bit, but not much.

Well, let me know what you are having trouble with and I'll try to walk you through it or make a tutorial to help.

Alright.... I'm having trouble blending and making one photo look as though it belongs in another.

Try blending one or both images using the Gauassin Blur (Filters -> Blur-> Gauassin Blur) that way you can control how much blur to use. More blur = increase the number, less blur = decrease the number (they should be automatically locked so they will increase or decrease at the same rate). If that doesn't work very well try smudging the sharper image. Be careful not to take away too many details, start at 10-20% using a 5-11 size brush. The bigger the brush the lower you want to set your smudge. If some colors get lost air brush then back in using a small brush, depending on the area size. You may also have to use a delicate combination of blurring and smudging.
Also, don't forget to duplicate any images you make changes to in case you make a mistake! And if you lose some details that are difficult to get back set you duplicate to "Overlay" over the original, then play around with the opacity. You may even have to duplicate your Overlayed image to get the look you want.
Hope this helps. If you're still having trouble send me an image of what you have and I'll see what advice I can give you. You can load it into your dA gallery as a W.I.P so you don't have to worry about it getting stolen or something somewhere else.

Thanks. I copied your advice and will try it out.
One more question. Where can you find other new brushes for gimp? Shade has loads of them.

Go to the Resources and Stock Images -> Application Resources -> GIMP Brushes
Sometimes you can find brushes that work in photoshop and gimp in you type in the search box the specific brush you're looking for, just add brush on the end. To do this go to the Resources and Stock Images -> Application Resources and type in something like "snow brush".

Alright, thanks. Hey, I know your busy, do you still think you can find time to RP on SWS, or no? Just wondering. Cause I was having fun with our RP. ^^

Oh, you don't know how much I want to say yes. I was having a lot of fun too! But, I literally have no time to spare between school, the horse, and trying to find a job.

It's alright. Would you have any more time throughout the summer? or are you swamped there too? If not, would you mind if I found someone else to do that with?

I should have time in the summer, but I am not 100% sure.
