Transforming into a Na'vi

The Na'vi (English: The People) are a race of sentient extraterrestrial humanoids who inhabit the lush jungle moon of Pandora. (source )

Another fun tutorial I found here .  It's a little bit hard especially achieving the blue color of skin. In Step 7, I find it easier to use this option, Color/ Components/ Channel Mixer. I do much trial and error until I achieved the color that I need.

Here are my outputs. I spent two days for these. For a beginner like me, I'm proud that I did these. You can create your own too. Happy GIMPing !!! ^_^

This is me and my 8 year old sister.

Interperse Portrait with Text

I am having fun exploring GIMP. This is the same as the Photoshop but it's free and can be downloaded from the internet. I started using it less than a month ago (I think, being lazy digging when is it really..hehe) And now, I'm searching for tutorials to make the most out of GIMP.

I found one here and create my own version. The title of this post is the same as the title of the tutorial. I googled the term 'Interperse' but I think it's a jargon in photo editing that's why I wasn't able to find different sources for its meaning. According to this source,

Intersperse, a verb, means "to scatter here and there or place at intervals among other things"

I tried many attempts before I fully understand the tutorial and make my own image. I got lost in Step 11 because I edit the Layer instead of the Layer Mask (of course you won't understand it if you have no background in GIMP or other photo editing apps). So be careful in following the instructions and be sure that you read every word.

This is the reason why I suddenly open my blog which I created 4 years ago but no post since then. I want to share this creation in my own space and let people see.

Please leave your comment, especially if you can guess who is that person behind the text. Thanks.
