The amount of patience, hard work and an eye for quality is what defines this wallpaper. Character is painstakingly vectored off a real life toy image with references to screenshots. Despite the difficulty level, ~pvc24 still manages to nicely depict the image in anime fashion and yet able to find the mental strength to come up with a background composition that is both aptly fun and pleasant in atmosphere.

I also used GIMP on the beginning. But my "teacher" gived tips mostly for PS, so I changed soon as possible.

Honestly, The Honest Man is the man won you have to look out for cause you will never know he might do something really stupid

Well, the problem is that I use GIMP and its the hardest thing to work with. I havent mastered any of its traits and it also closes on me at random. D:

I trained myself months before I made my first AP wall :p So its okay to suck in the beginning.

Well my wallpaper sucks...I just made one and its not exactly at its perfection.

If you are not sure that your wallpaper is acceptable, then post it there. The experienced members should help you.

Let's face it, this group, like quite a few here on AP are dying, it's quite sad, so I thought we should revive this thing, to once again be able to help the newbies..

We'll need Umboody, since he is the admin of the group, and it'd be nice if people submitted self-written tutorials to help people with common things, such as my WiFi tutorial.

Cheers!

I think it would be better to make tutorials of graphical tools such as Gimp and Inkscape.
Graphical tools have their own niches (not sure if niche is the right word) and can feel really limited unless given proper guidance in beginning. Help with using more powerful feats effectively can be taunting even after longer period of usage.
At least for me ap wouldn't be the first in mind resource regarding technical help.
Of course technical help can be provided when asked but net is filled with tech-savvy
forums where info can be found rather easily. Also I believe that high percentage of new Linux adopters are Ubuntu (or some of its derivatives) users 'cos of its high visibility in news and blogs and Ubuntus community support is at least IMO really good.

Been a while since I've done a thing in ap thanks to Finnish military forces and school that I started in fall. Gotta try to push a new wall soon.

Hope that ap-lug starts running again!

Yea, tutorials on any and all UNIX related subjects are welcome in my opinion, that includes tutorials on GIMP and Inkscape, and any other graphics programs you might be using in Linux/*BSD, as well as common/not-so-common tasks in the operating system, anything that people might or might not have problems with, really.

Cheers!
