How to Design a Dramatic Winged Dragon with Gimp
,----[ Quote ]
| Create a fantasy image with the Gimp. In this tutorial, we will be taking a
| picture of a baby iguana and another picture of a bat and we will combine
| them to be a full-fledged dragon. This tutorial is based off of a Photoshop
| tutorial from PSDTuts by Alvaro Guzman. I've made another tutorial before
| like this one, but for some odd reason it disappeared off the face of the
| earth and I haven't been able to find it. Anyway, let's get started!

New Manju project plans to redraw desktop art
,----[ Quote ]
| Most free software projects produce applications for users. A minority,
| however, produce specifications or libraries for developers and other
| contributors. An example of this second type is the recently announced Manju
| project, whose goal is to make themes easier to create. The project's goal is
| to write the specifications and scripts for using scalable vector graphics
| (SVG) files to store widget and other theme-related information that can be
| used on a variety of toolkits.
|
| [...]
|
| But all these advantages are only possibilities. For now, Janik says, "Manju
| needs artistic input. It also needs code for the extraction, and the example
| code to demonstrate how SVG theme files can be used for toolkits." Once that
| work is done, "it also needs integration into existing toolkits. And this is
| something that can't really happen within the scope of the Manju project,
| because it is just providing the necessary groundwork. It depends on
| contributors to the individual toolkits" -- especially GTK+ and Qt.
