Basis of my first try at wallpapers, it's my second try at gimp, I call him "Halloween Buddha".
The original stock image (free for commercial and non commercial use, no attribution required) is of a buddha outline only, in orange lines, on top of a photo of a pier by the sea, you can see this on GimpChat in Halloween thread. I made it a white outline and insides for a future project.
I then made him into a 3d (sort of) instead of line drawing, "Halloween Buddha", it reminds me more of a Demonic or Ghost Warrior sitting in meditation before battle, I made with nice subtle hints of colours through his robes.
I made feather text last week, and also many of graffiti texts , one is shown below, in an online method, then tweaked it in Gimp, change colour resized, added inner/outer colour and etc.
I posted Halloween Buddha on GimpChat today, whilst making the wallpaper I also noticed his head needed reshaping was flat as I cropped too tightly, so this are the only version with reshaped curved head so far.
Finally I made logo of repeated "LL" out of feather text and blended this together and reduced opacity, to make it look like Chinese "style/effect", placing this floating above the magical hands in front of the heart, coz he is a wise and loves LL.
Just different option with/without components of that.
