this is what i mean u sing colours to make a good background in stead of going coulerise...
here we go
NOTE :MUST HAVE THE LAYER WINDOW OPEN TO DO THIS GO TO DIALOGS THEN LAYERS!
get normal background like so


then go new layer then go new layer>forground colour>ok
then make both paint pallets white then brush away!!! :h:


then we need a render go gamerenders and find a good render then make sure its a png save file. then make new folder called My Renders or something like that
then paste the render onto your bg.DO NOT ANCHOR LAYER!!! just add a new layer


once added new layer duplicate that layer and put the new layer behind the layer you have just created. motoin blur it by :liner>lengnth >137>angle>180. then just move it around so it fills up the hole picture. if u have a small render just scale layer by a ridiculesly large amount then fill it up.when done merge all the motoin blured layers like so



then in your layer window u will have a little tap at the top . these are ur efeectz. click it and then select couler. dupilicate the layer. then mix it with any other efect end ruselt

hope this helps you in many diferent ways regards monotone

comments woulod be aprecaated

Nice tutorial, the renders weren't my favorite, but nice. I do like the Samus render, and that is an awesome sig.

this tut is sick (and by sick i mean awsome!)
nice job. what brushes did you use for that bg?
very nice

The piper i used my own and some of mtlcx brushes NOTE:i have not uplaoded any of my brushes YET

Nice Tut I Like

i like the brushes too ill have 2 try that out

paint pallets < where is that located in gimp?

piant pallets the big fat things with the colour chose i at the bottom of your GIMP

hmm can ya show me wich one please cause i am kinda lost

It's the black box over the white box. Those two are the pallets.

thanks man

i don't know but i am getting very confused, okay i put my render on my image then i add a new layer then i duplicate the new layer i added then i move my duplicated layer behind the new layer that i duplicated off then i select my duplicated layer and do motion blur and nothing happens there is no motion blur, am i doing something wrong cause i am very confused

You really helped me! I am new to this and i had no clue the images had to be a png! lol I know kind of stupid but now my images look awesome!

nice tut

My result...



Edit: Just so you know, I used your grunge backround because I didn't have any grunge brushes at the time.

I didn't choose the best render for colouring, but the result was pretty neat. I used two colour layers with the settings at Dodge and Colour.

Thanks for the help, this shall be useful.

I made this cool banner with that great tut, but what was we suppose to press when after we do motion blur?

The tut was good I made this.

Yes it is. I would use it, but I like things to stand out from the other.


Is that Zakk Wylde in your avvy?

My result. I had to duplicat the motion blurr layer cos it wasnt big enough. I think it turned out well.

Nice tut.

Looks nice too confusing and no grammer. I've tried this and it just dosn't work because it dosn't make sense to me.
Looks good though.

Not bad huh?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!!!

I got stuck through here.

"once added new layer duplicate that layer and put the new layer behind the layer you have just created. motoin blur it by :liner>lengnth >137>angle>180. then just move it around so it fills up the hole picture. if u have a small render just scale layer by a ridiculesly large amount then fill it up.when done merge all the motoin blured layers like so"

Can someone explained in a more detailed way? I got GIMP about a week ago...
