Description Well, here it is. I hope it wasn't more trouble then it was worth. Lemme know if you find it useful, or if it was overly confusing.

This is how I made the background in this: [link] manipulation.

As you can see by the sucky doodles (I swear I can draw MUCH better on paper with a pencil!) half way through, I started to loose interest. -coughs- Or maybe I just decided to treat you to my awesome skills. But I got it done!

Also, please excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes here and there, I may fix them. Someday.

I'd love to see any results people might get from this!

Blending Image tutorial that I mentioned can be found here: [link]

You /can/ link to this tutorial (And I'd love credit!), but do NOT repost, 'kay?

GANGSTA PONEH! xD

i tried it on gimp, out of defiance, and it worked, but you have to do the last step differently

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to nikita-rowane [2008-09-18 01:42:57 +0000 UTC]

ITS GONNA SHOOT YOU UP. x^D

I did discuss the last step with my GIMP savvy friend, and she had an idea of how to do it. What method did you use?

Also, if you ever post it, I'd love to see it. ;^)

disinchanted In reply to SkysTheLimitStudio [2009-02-25 17:15:20 +0000 UTC]

yeah, you probably remember me back in September when i told you how you do the last step differently XD well! i finally got photoshop and tested out the sponge tool. it's basically just a desaturater so all you have to do is duplicate the background/grass layer, desaturate, and lower the opacity as needed. x3 but you probably know that. lol.
