So you take this:
Before
And apply one of the many artistic”Gimpressionist” filters in Gimp. Most of them are slight variations that make your image look like this:
Blahfter
But apply the “Embroidery” filter, and this is the result:
Have the creators of Gimp any idea what embroidery looks like? Is this one of their nerd jokes, like the pepper brush or the toilet paper template? Maybe there’s a real application for it; a logo design for a bubble tea shop, or a visual for Hans Christian Andersen’s description of a dead mermaid.
The internet doesn’t have much on the filter, just on how to create embroidery effects. Obviously not by using the embroidery filter. I’m off to apply the feather filter. I’m expecting everything to just turn into a foot.
UPDATE: Here’s an example of the feather filter.
Surprise.
All the filters are now Dippin’ Dotifying everything...I think it’s probably time to try turning Gimp off and on again.
UPDATE 2: Yup, just a glitch. I probably had too much heavy stuff open at the same time. The embroidery filter still doesn’t look much like embroidery, though.
Yawn City. But a little more useful.
