GIMP Photo Edit; Avatar

Well, I came to the point of GIMPer’s block. I had nothing to do on GIMP. I therefore updated my status on Facebook about it, and my friend saved my life. He sent me a Photoshop tutorial to make a picture of someone look like a character from Avatar ^_^ So, not only did I get to make a few pictures look like the creatures (or people… whatever they are) from Avatar, but I also got to convert a tutorial from Photoshop to GIMP! :D

I started out by editing a picture of Link :D Who else? xD

link_avatar_finished

I then did one for my friend, which I’m not going to post at the moment :P But, just now, I’ve done one of me ^_^ It didn’t come out nearly as good as Link though :P

me_avatar_finished

LOL I look so weird! Either way, although I’ve never seen Avatar, nor will I probably see it in the near future, I’m having fun with this ^_^

And Na’vi is like Navi from LoZ with a ‘ in the middle xD and they’re both even blue!!! xD Just thought I’d point that out xD

Oh, and just in case you want it, you can find the tutorial I used HERE!

OoT Background Redo

Well, I set out to just replace the old pictures of Link with some higher quality ones, but I ended up rearranging the whole picture and adding quite a bit :P I think I like this one better (:

Some New GIMP Pictures

Well, I’ve finished a few projects I’ve been working on for the past few days ^_^

 

finishedBG_1366x768

The first one is a background consisting of Hearts (: This one was an easy but fun one to make (:

finishedBG

I love how this one came out! I'll probably re-do it later with higher quality pictures of Link, but for right now, this is the finished product :D Aaand can you find the Ocarina and the TriForce in the background? The TriForce is much harder to find than the Ocarina lol

FINISHED

This is one that I did following a tutorial. It was definitely a hard one, but the finished product is amazing! The text actually wasn't part of tutorial, but I think it works. (:

You can find the tutorial HERE. This guy has amazing tutorials, and he makes a new one about every week! (:

TriForce Background on GIMP

Well, here is yet another background that I’ve created. (: This one was a really fun one to make. :D And this time, I made my own pattern thing-a-ma-bob for the background (:

 

finished

 

Ganondorf is the TriForce of Power, Zelda is the TriForce of Wisdom and Link is the TriForce of Courage (:

It’s Over!

Yes, it’s all over; I finally completed Ocarina of Time. It was epic. Unfortunately, my N64 emulator glitched up at the very end, at the final boss battle. So, technically I beat it, but because of the glitch, Ganon just refused to die. So I just looked up the ending on YouTube. xD

Now, I’m mainly playing A Link to the Past (: I’ve been playing it all day (aside from completing OoT) and I’m more than halfway through! For this one, since it is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve attempted it, I’m using a walkthrough. I might even be able to complete it by tomorrow… (:

I also hope to complete Twilight Princess within the near future…

I’m way to overly obsessed with this game series. Oh well. xD

An Ocarina in A Link to the Past :D

I just found this interesting... I found an Ocarina in A Link to the Past lol Kinda cooool (: And it looks like the Ocarina of Time, ironically XD AWESOME! In the game, they call it a Flute, but it is clearly an Ocarina :D And, apparently, it has magical powers just like the Ocarina of Time! EPICSAUCE!

A few more Twilight Princess backgrounds

Well, it appears I never seem to tire of making these backgrounds (:

Death Mountain in Twilight Princess :D I am really happy with how this one came out (: Yeah, Link doesn't get the Goron Tunic in Twilight Princess, but I just thought changing it from green to red went with the color scheme lol I like this one better then the other Death Mountain one I did lol (: The fire in the background was really fun to make... Well, edit together in a fashion that it looked like a lava explosion ;)

finishedbg

A cool background of the Realm of Twilight (nothing to do with sparkly vampires xD ), specifically Kakariko covered by Twilight lol

finished

Zora's Domain in Twilight Princess! I like how this one came out much better than the previous one lol I guess because I had more pictures to work with (: And I couldn't find a good picture of Link in his Zora Armor, so I decided to just color his tunic blue like it is in Ocarina of Time (: Adding in the waterfalls was a fun task :D And Prince Ralis is the most feminine-looking male I've ever seen xD

finished

Well, that’s all I’ve really been able to do today… I apologize for all of my entries being random Legend of Zelda pictures I’ve made… But I really have had nothing else of interest to blog about. =P

But what is cool is that it snowed here in South Jersey :D about 18 inches! (Correct me if I’m wrong…) And tomorrow we’re supposed to get even more!!! :D

3 Twilight Princess Backgrounds

Well, as you all know, I love the Legend of Zelda series, and I also love making backgrounds on GIMP. I make way to many. But in any case, I’ve been busy the past couple days making Twilight Princess backgrounds. I’m sick, so I’ve had nothing better to do. (:

I apologize if the quality is crap…

I’m very happy with how this one came out, simple as it may be. (:

finished1

I LOVE this one! To the right is Midna in her light form, Link in his light form, and basically the ruler of the light world, Zelda. Basically vice-versa on the other side (: The guy that basically rules Twilight (or is heading the take-over) is Zant :D

finished2

A background of some of the people from Ordon Village in Twilight Princess (: From left to right; Link, Ilia, Colin, Malo, Beth and Talo (: Link sort of doesn't match the rest of the character because of the quality of the picture that I took him from... It's really hard to find a picture of him in the Ordon outfit =/ but in any case, I'm rather happy with this one (:

finished

AND I might as well include in this post a picture I made about 5 minutes ago…

IMMAFIRINMAHLAZARBWAAAAA!!! Sorry, I had too. The King Dodongo (*says in CD-i voice* Dodongos!) looked so much like a character from the LAZAR series xD All it needed was a few added details xD He killed Navi! No more "HEY! HEY! LISTEN! LISTEN! HEY LISTEN LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY HEY HEY HEY LISTEN LISTEN HEY!”

The scariest face Midna has ever made. O_O

Those who have played Twilight Princess for a half hour know who Midna is. She is that little imp girl that accompanies you when you get sent to the realm of Twilight. She’s pretty adorable if you ask me, but she can be really freaking scary if you get her mad.

scary midna

OMG that’s creepy!!!

So, since I’m bored and have nothing better to do at the moment, I’ll tell you guys a bit about Midna. I’m really tempted to ruin some plot twists that involve her, but I won’t :D

Well, she’s a creature of the Twilight. No relation to sparkly vampires. XD Although she is one of the Twilight creatures, she is rebeling against the evil taking over the world of light. Geez, for such a tiny one, she sure has some courage! :D

When Link is in his Twilight form (a wolf! Awesome!), she rides on his back, like so.

Wolf and Midna

But, when he's in his regular-light-world-human form, she accompanies him as his shadow (:

(Sorry, that was the best picture I could find…)

Anywayz, I do believe I’ve said enough for now. (: Midna is awesome.

Disintegration

Aloha (: today, I learned how to do a disintegration-vaporize-ish effect on GIMP :D and I also discovered something that Photoshop cannot do, that GIMP can! GIMP has a “displacement filter” :D Applaud yourselves, GIMP users!

Well, I would say it came out rather cool :D
