Thanks to inuhanyounikkie for inspiring me to take up the gauntlet again. I've done up a simple pic to get my creative fingers movin'. The results aren't spectacular but I'm getting back into using the tools at my disposal.
The original image was made using InkScape (svg format). I used GIMP to create the background (for contrast only) and to convert it to png format. I don't like the dithering on the outline, which is a result of its conversion from svg to png, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix with a little tweaking on the svg side (making them thicker or 'fade out' perhaps).
I used GIMP's "fuzzy select' option to select each region and filled the main portion using the "Blend Tool" set to "Shaped (spherical)" to generate the purple/blue tone on the front, and I modified the inner portion (which was already grey) by modifying the Hue/Saturation levels in the three remaining sections.
I was playing around with the filters and liked how this one turned out. It's the mosaic filter set with hexigons and tweaked values.
I'll probably be using this mosaic filter on some future banners. I really liked how that turned out!
Now I'm off to write more fics!
