I guess it could be called the "Shigeo Fukuda Monochromic style" 😁. It was made in 1970 , I wonder what software he used? 🙃

The more I look at this type of line art the more it looks like a halftone / engraving effect but with more possibilities because the line pattern can be created by the user.

@Djisves Go for it. Does anyone know the name of this type of effect applied to illustrations?

Yes! This is a much easier method. Mine involved several layers using Paste Alpha, Gaussian Blur, Color inversions, Changing layers modes to Reflect, Overlay, Level adjustments... It was a trial and error method, that is why I got lost.

Hi Carla, That is a cool effect. I think I managed to achieve something that looks like the art effect you need but the thing is that I do not remember how I did it ( I am getting old and my short memory is not good anymore).

@MJW Thank you! I like this effect. It is exactly what I requested a few years back. 🍎

Thanks, that is a big improvement. The new version renders much faster

Thanks @Foxxey, It works pretty well now.

@mparada What website did you use? I will see if I can help.

I also had a "Preview Timeout". Perhaps because I have a very old PC it took over 5 minutes to render once I pressed the OK button. I am very impressed by the final result but frustrated by the time it took.

I hope you enjoyed your lunch, I am afraid your work is lost.

Stay safe, stay at home if you can. That is good news, you are our only G'MIC coder on the forum. (I did not forget @null54)

Yes, that is the way to go.

If you have multiple layers, you can not enlarge just one layer.

I like this option

Hello @Kantoi, there is a plugin that creates plaid patterns by adding colors, it is called Tartan. It does not create diagonal lines but perhaps @toe_head2001 can help.

Another idea. 1. Create a layer behind your text. 2. Use the Cloud effect with the secondary color transparent. 3. Use a large brush to erase unwanted parts of the cloud. 4. Apply noise.

Thank you @loupasc, with sharp edges I don't have to change my eye glasses.

I like the highlights, Thanks @Red ochre

I was about to suggest Paste Warp: There is also @xod's Text on Path.

@Reptillian Thank you for all the time and enthusiasm given to all of us. We will miss you but life must go on. Wish you best on your new venture.

Hello, you need to give more information about your problem. I never had a Blue Screen error with Paint.net. Perhaps there is a problem with your windows system. Whatever it is, you need to give more information so someone can take a look at your problem.

Hello @null54 , Would it be possible to add an option to choose the width and height so the tiles will not be all square?

It sounds like you need a label creator. A label creator with different shapes and borders and adjustable text would be a great addition to the text effects. In the mean time you can use Speech bubble . It is a plugin that can help you draw an ellipse or a rectangle with rounded corners. It is possible to type text inside the shape but if you want it adjusted to the center you will have to adjust it manually.

I love best the second one too. Love feathered friends. I had a few as a child. I ate some of them as well ☺️.
