Hi @Lablover1 Welcome to the forum. Posting your pic always helps to determine what you are trying to achieve and allowing some of the experienced members to try different approaches. Hope you can manage this task.

https://youtu.be/DZF0HnipaZ0?list=PLYz1nmrUPFyETYjJBiCeXZe0RIkf91zQY @welshblue Have a look at what he's talking about. Like @Ego Eram Reputo said. It can be done in Paint.Net but manually.

I see this question remains unanswered. I'm finding it difficult to find how to delete my attachments. I am reaching my limit and want to clean up a few. I figured it out through my persistence. You must go to the original post and edit the post to allow you to delete the attachment.

@Eli here ya go. It was quite simple to modify.

@toe_head2001 - thanks for the clarification. Bet you a case of beer I'll never do that process again unless clear instructions are provided. I am finding it usefull to work on a larger canvas size (2000 X 2000) with some of the graphic fonts I have aquired.

Hi @spamme Thanks for the insight you gave me of how to hack a DLL. Never would know where and what to change those numbers to. Followed your directions and successfully changed the limitations in circletext.dll. Not for the faint of heart though. I'm running win10 and had to change a few command line dirs to find what you were talking about. Never knew windows contained a decompiler for dlls. Another trick for an old dog.

Hey @BoltBait Nope - can't find the camera. I see the flash though. Think of me of your Canadian counterpart. Although I prefer Chinese to sushi Apartment to a house. Poker and cats are a big part of my life as well. 25 Years in the military (9 of them at sea) Traveled the world doing that stint. Allowed me to see Michael Jackson perform in Germany and San Diego. But my history with computers is really my calling in life. Missed the boat getting official recognition for my abilities. In the late 70's just picture a sailor bringing his own computer (8088) onboard the ship to convince others it was the future. Paradox and Access were the database apps I remember taking to like a fish to water. 10 Years ahead of the times. Attended a computer science course at the Officers College in the 80's and topped the course demonstrating the ability to program in Basic. Could get no more support in training in that field. Tried to keep up with all the changes best I could without being employed in the industry. I hope your retirement sees you with a decent pension from Intel. I've heard of them once or twice.

Hey @BoltBait Impressive series of photos. Gave me inspiration. BTW is that your "cabin in the woods" or your home If their was eight required your last pic should have been of your camera Hope you did well in the competition. Honorable mention?

Hi @HoopDogg I tried PowerStretch in addition to FurBlur with 6 layers of hair. Close I think

Many thanks to @lynxster4 and her tut found at Accomplished what I was aiming for Hope you enjoy

Thank you @lynxster4 for taking the time to show this old dog a new trick I tried it with a pattern I found on the internet rather than a shape. Took many liberties on getting the whole thing just right. My color shading didn't work as well as I hoped. Tried 3 different shades of red and you can only see two. I'm still very happy with the result. Tuts are so great to learn different plugins and methods. Saw many things during the process I hadn't seen before. Always learning.

Hi @Nathan26011 Try this filetype plugin

Hi @The_Falcon Welcome to the forum You state that your pic is the closest you can get. Closest to what exactly. Can you post an image (cropped) of what you are trying to achieve? I think the best answer is to work in layers and draw borders around the different objects and use them as guides to where the gradients end up. Hope that helps

Thank You @Ego Eram Reputo Nice to see they still work in 4.19

Thank You @MadJik The creation of a new lifeform

@Kytampe Have you looked at the choices in filling patterns for colors?

This was a stand alone archive download. After looking at @MadJik's latest tutorial in which he mentioned it was a built in - I went looking for it. The link is broken (404). Does anyone have a zip file they can post?

@littlebigman Your misconception is that the line is selected when you are drawing it with the line tool. It is not. Those nubs are for shaping the line. Simply finish the line - select it with the magic wand - copy, then paste and move with your cursor the desired distance down. Hope this helps.

@toe_head2001 As discussed in messages

Thanks @lynxster4 @Pixey and @Woodsy for stopping by. @welshblue - Still a work in progress - just thought I would show it in its state now cause I thought it was looking pretty good. The wings are still in their original shape and only the layers bring out the pattern. Still a few more things I want to do and yes I'll try the shadow suggestion. It looses a lot when shrinking to Forum rules. Can you believe the horns were made with Shape3D?

Now I'm scared - very scared

Revision 2 (Playing with thumbnails to see how they work) B&W Stock image found on the internet. I thought would make a great project. Idle hands are the devils playground. Looks to me like a book cover. Hope you enjoy Project complete

oops @Pixey I got the 500 correct

Found it
