I made myself an Ubuntu avatar. :)

Well I'm not posting up the full size version in case everyone wants to take bytes of my donut! [-X
Ok, also, because it's not saved on this computer or on photobucket yet.

Very nice! :lolflag:

I vaguely recall as a visual gift to some legend (dfreer i think...) posting pictures (nearly full screen) of doughnuts and waffles. Good times.

You've just reminded me; I have a toffee yoghurt in my pocket!

*munch*

Thanks for the comments. :)
LOL, Pacman has staked his claim on that one Jan, so you can't have it!!
If you must know, I'm not highly skilled at this kind of stuff, it takes me ages to do, as I often forget what I did a few minutes ago. Ubydonut took me 3 days. But it's just for fun in the evenings after work. I have an old copy of Photoshop7 on another computer, but used it mostly to resize pictures for posting on forums.


Thanx again,
Pete.

I like your new avatar. I had the hardest time getting used to GIMP...

Well I'm only vaguely used to PS7, so I'm just as vague with Gimp! ;)

And I don't have a graphics tablet yet. But I'm shopping for one now.

That's way too good !! =D>

But there are some really good Gimp tutorials about, so I will improve. :-)

Thanks is way made using guides from gug.sunsit.dk. way back in pre 2000 (hnm 98 I think)
It was part of a project to see if gtk could be themed on win 98 and if you look in the gallery you can see I achieved it.
