Gimp Brushes and Lipstick With Unbelievable Staying Power

So, yeah, I made two sets of GIMP brushes yesterday. Both are downloadable from site where the images link.

swirls for gimp

four flames for gimp

The first, Swirlz, is from the font Curlz MT. I just erased and manually added the anti-aliasing where it was missing from the erased areas. The second was inspired by the hot sauce theme of this here site… it was in need of some flame. The flame set is entirely original. I used the bezier curves and cranked it out in the gimp then added some gradient grayscale fills and some rotations and ended up with four brushes. I also used the flames on the newest version of the header on this site.

And about the lipstick… My mom bought me the Most Awesome Lipstick Ever Created. Covergirl’s outlast lipstick truly doesn’t come off! This stuff is amazing. I tried it last night (I was that curious, yes, that I would try it right before going to bed) and it lasted all night and through the shower. I have not yet tried playing clarinet, but this is a good lipstick for me on Sundays. I do NOT like wearing lipstick but think my lips look funny without it. This stuff is like lip stain. It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing lipstick (I like that) but my lips look good (I like that too). Awesome.

    I can’t see the graphics in your blog. The link works and I can see them there, but they do not appear on the blog page.

    Fixed now. I didn’t want to upload the images to my webspace because they already existed on the DA servers but if your connection is slow in any way they wouldn’t load since the DA site is hugely busy. I never had a problem with the site nabbing the pics off the DA site.
    I took the time and uploaded them, so it should work from now on.
