The Legendary TNT Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So I was learning how to use GIMP a little better and I found the brick pattern, and for some reason it looked like an alley in New York for some reason. And I thought, "All this needs is some graffiti." Then an idea struck me. Why not do Piraka graffiti? So I went on BS01 and found Piraka promo signatures and scoured the internet for a BIONICLE graffiti style logo (harder to find than you would think!) and came up with this. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TNT-DJVezon/Art/bionicle_piraka_grafitii.jpg What do you think?

Dralcax Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, um, all you did was paste a few images on top of another. To make it more like graffiti, I would suggest you put the brick wall texture onto the graffiti so it looks like it was painted onto the walll itself. Still, I can't do much better myself, so good job, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Invictus Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) The signatures look like they are floating over your GIMP Brick Wall, not on it. I suggest you try and turn down the transparency on the signatures so it looks more like they are on the wall.

Hitoshura Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's pretty cool, no offence but the graffiti looks sort of like stickers on the wall. Try to put a bit of texture in the words, but it looks good after all. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to make this one of my backgrounds for my computer, so that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta of Time Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It looks cool. What would make it really cooler, is make it look like an actual alley in New York, and put the graffiti on the brick walls. Pure artistic talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 A masking layer witht the brick walls and the graffiti could work too - you'd just have to be careful to keep the colours. -ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unauthorized Autobiography Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Nice! Also seems pretty interesting, I already can think of a few good uses for my next gen comics... Could I use it? I'll give credit. Quote -G u u R a h K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
