I like it! I'd move the band with the logo to the left a little, maybe 10 or 15 px, to compensate the space around it. It feels like too close to the brushes. I think it looks pretty good.

While this is certainly true, GIMP, along with PS and others like them, fall into a class called "Paint Programs". This may have been the artist's inspiration. On 04/17/2012 05:23 PM, Kevin Cozens wrote: > On 12-04-17 05:38 PM, gespert...@gmail.com wrote: >> After some tweaking... >> http://dl.dr
