This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Lately, I've had some luck using Gimp (specifically, Gimp2) to convert photos to "trumps".  The software is pretty good at making a photo seem like a painting, penciled drawing, pastels, etc.  You can add borders and various effects.  I've ben learning the software simply through trial and error and have had some good results.

My resulting "trumps" aren't that impressive.  I don't pretend otherwise.  IMO, they're more interesting to look at than simple photos, however.  Here are a couple.  (the first is intentionally meant to look damaged and smeared)




A few more are posted here http://s1.zetaboards.com/By_Design/topic/2382727/1/#new

Nice.  Bleys has to change that outfit, though.  It's... not complementing to him.  But, it may go a way s to explaining why Bleys has no known children in the novels. . . ;)

Thanks, jib :)

Gimp2 is a free download, btw.  I've started working with it "blind" with almost no experience in editing software to begin with.  So far, it's fairly easy to use and get results.

Yeah I played with GIMP but I have been using photoshop for 10 years so tend to stick with it. I find my efforts at converting photos to images like this are generally woeful which is why i tend to trawl the web for images I can tweak or get my cousin to do originals although he is going through a lazy bastard phase.
