2 of my new manips. I just started using GIMP and these are my first two if you couldn't tell.

I like the first one. Try to add some shadow into the panel, it will be like behind the skin.

I need to make a tip section for some of these things.

The wiki is a good place for it

Not bad. Not bad at all given that you used GIMP

I really love open source software, but never have got my head around the weird menus and all those cluttered palettes GIMP has. I rather use the "borrowed" Photoshop copy I have from my compa... well enough about me... Nice work, hope to see more in the future.

Oh - and I even have a manip tip too: In my opinion, most important is the appeal of the source image and a nice idea - This does more for me than the technical execution (how perfect is the emboss effect on the panels, etc). The girl should have a nice stare (NOT looking into the camera e.g.), be in an odd situation (naked at a crowded place) or so.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll try and put that to use.
