photo to painting in gimp

i've re-made this tutorial. the first apparently used a illegal photo. i thought i found it on a safe site but don't remember and it's not worth arguing about.



please note:

the art in this gallery is © martin gillette (istarlome) and is not to be considered public domain. any use without permission from the artist is prohibited.

the resources; brushes, gradients, palettes, flames etc., that are presented as such (excluding tutorials), can be used as one sees fit. credit back to the artist is nice but not necessary.

thank you for your cooperation.
