FRIENDS Plastic Surgery

This picture was a challenge. Some faces just didn't match, but I did the best I could. Some of them look great, some of them look cheesy. I just made each face a layer unto its own, erased the hair/neck and then arranged them onto the other faces. I had to scale, rotate, and tweak the color on the faces to make them fit.

Old Flowers

This is a particularly interesting piece. There are many pictures out there of black and white photographs with hints of color in it, but I have never seen just an old looking photo, more brown than black and white. I first made a copy of the original picture, and applied the "Old Photo" filter on it, then pasted that on a new, transparent layer. Then, I got the "Fuzzy Circle" brush, and erased the top layer where I wanted to see color. It is very simple once you know how to do it.

Monkey Cartoon

This monkey is the first GIMP project I did. I have done better ones, but due to my computer hard drive having been erased, this is the best I can come up with. I used different size brushes to create different effects. I wanted the face wrinkles to be small, while I wanted to head to seem large and stable. Unfortunately, GIMP does not have a 'hair' texture, so I had to settle for "walnut".
