Woah, what the hell is this? I'll tell you what it is, this is the first caption I've made using GIMP. For those of you who don't know, I make all of my captions in PowerPoint. But Rauk, that's crazy, you can do so much more with better programs. I know, but as I've stated over and over, I'm primarily a writer, and up until recently I really didn't care about my how my captions looked, as long as it showed the story and whatever pic I was using in a reasonable manner. I also liked to think that when I wanted, I did a pretty nice job using PowerPoint, such as with the last piece I posted. But for this caption, I had to break down and use something that give my a longer image length. Normally I would just find another image and make it two panels, but I couldn't find anything that worked. I have to say, working with GIMP was...an experience. I'm sure once I figure out all the ins and outs it'll be a decent program to use, but as it was it took me about four times longer than usual to make this caption. I think it turned out pretty well, but with my current schedule I don't know when I'll have the time to sit down and mess around enough to really get a feel for it.
I wish there were a reaction better than great. the format looks really good
ReplyDeleteGIMP's a fun lil manip' program to play around with, I use a few different ones but like "Comic Life" the best..
ReplyDeleteI dont have photoshop which is what many I know use, but think GIMP is just as good as photoshop, plus free.
Good job, nice to see you experimenting with more styles..
You did a great job! I like the textured background behind the text, and the expressions in the pic are fantastic! I'd love to be her happy and obedient girl!
