Ok, well, if most of you haven't already heard the term, "planet Render Forum", I give a little inside scoop. It's a place that's MUCH harder to be accepted into teams, but it's also an amazing place to be to find great tuts, stocks, brushes, ect. I highly recommend for people who know there tags suck, to join the Planet Renders forum. Look, I've been great, I've gotten a ton of comments, and I can see my style change to things I've never done before. Take advice from someone who was stuck in a graphics hole, JOIN.

Sorry if this is advertisment in any way, just tryin' to help GFX'ers out.;)

I am on there, and love it. They tell you straight up that you aren't that good, and then tell you how to improve. They don't sugarcoat it like alot of people on forums do. I do, however, have a hard time finding GIMP tutorials. I find some, but they're all low intermediate. I like doing the more advanced, hard tuts. Got any help for me?

Check, the Free Tutorial sub forum. I'm pretty sure, theres a pin thread, near the buttom of the first post, has alot of advanced GIMP tuts.:)

Hmmm, I think I've seen that. Most of them are either 404(page not found) or I've tried them all. Any other tips?

Oh boy! I've been waiting to make my pitch for about 2 years. Really.

Here's a shout out to those of you stuck in the bottomless morass of the so-called GFX. If you want to take your copy of PS anywhere in real life, then you had better ditch the blur tool, and actually learn to do A-R-T. I know that the letters A, R, and T in an order other than RAT might scare the living daylights out of you, but until you can actually DRAW your stocks and MAKE your C4Ds, you aren't going anywhere.

Poetic look in your email, or email me. You got an email from me regarding finishing first in TnT's scavenger hunt and I have not heard back from you in almost a week. You have no other means for me to contact you.

Oh...Whoops sorry. I noticed it like 2 weeks ago, and forgot to respond.
I really don't want any of the prizes, though if you you could make my name stylishly red like so: Poetic...
Or change my rank to "Puffle Mortician", I'd be happy.
If that's breaking some sort of protocol, then just donate my $10 to the Red Cross.

Well unfortunately we can't change colors of usernames like that without setting up new groups (which we don't do) and we can't really give out ranks like that. If you'd like, I will donate the $10 to the charity of your choice, that's fine. :)

If I join PR I would probably get kicked out for being so newbish in GFX up to them. D:
Anyways, I barely see any Gimp tuts on there.

There's more then you think on there, look hard.:P

And, for that, "Newb" question as you call it, you can't, "make something to a GFX", GFX is short terms for Graphics. We say GFX, cuz were too laszy for the full on, Graphics word.:P

You wouldn't get kicked out. You'd be fine really, just as long as you can take some very harsh critique.
