Extra Detail! (Splotches, Stripes, etc)

[IcyFrost]

Whalecume to my corner of the world ouo

I have thought of a way to get some extra details such as splotches, spots, stripes, etc. onto a preset without blurring or smudging the colors

1. First off, you need your preset head, body, tail, or mane, and GIMP. www.gimp.org

2. Open the head/body/tail/mane in GIMP and choose literally ANY brush. No matter which it is. Ex: Lines, Spiderweb, Chalk, etc. You don't have to be using the paintbrush, you could be using the eraser, the airbrush, or any other drawing tool.

3. Now, take your brush of choice and doubleclick your drawing tool (paintbrush, eraser, airbrush, etc.) in the Toolbox. Options with things like size, hardness, and spacing should come up. Put the size around 600.00.

4. One last step! Set the color of the newly sized brush to whatever color you want, and click three to four times (Or more, or less xD) wherever you like on your preset! There you go, you now have splotches / stripes on your preset!

Of course, you could have just done them manually, but I think it's easier this way. Feel free to hate or like this tutorial xD
Another thing, this works for markings. Just use the eraser with a black background! This also works on terrain textures and item materials!

Terrain Textures: Take the 512x512 texture and preform the same steps, any color of brush, any color of background!
Item Materials: Same as Terrain Textures, only with a material file to edit!

And the best part is, if you don't like it, just press Ctrl+Z a few times!
NOTE!!!!! Remember to resize your brush back to 20.00! (Double click the paintbrush in the Toolbox, then change the size from 600.00 back to 20.00)

I can always add pictures!
