Midnight Rider

This image was created as my take on a tutorial challenge posed by the 49th Magnificent Manipulated Masterpieces group. Having learned the principles of the tutorial, I set about using them to create this work.

 

The tutorial seems to have been designed for another type of editor (Photoshop, perhaps) and is not completely compatible with GIMP, but I was already familiar with most of the techniques contained in the tutorial, so that adapting them to GIMP was not that difficult.

 

The key aspect of the tutorial is the creation of wallpaper-like backdrops, and silhouette foregrounds. For this work, I have imported several images into the work, and rendered them as partial silhouettes. The backdrop and grassy bank in the foreground have been created in complete harmony with the tutorial.

 

All editing and assembly in GIMP.
