✨sticker girl✨

  • desk filled with printed stickers, glue, scissors, stray bits of paper.
  • stickers glued onto every part of her body
  • “blergh! stickers in my mouth”
  • “hold on everyone the stickers are loading”
  • “a pack a day, keeps the depression away”
  • constantly chasing that sweet sweet nectar of a new sticker pack
  • “ILOVESTICKERS”
  • Overloads all the servers because she keeps sending uncompressed stickers
  • sends a sticker after EVERY message
  • GIMP open 24/7

- ran out of space, so she had to stick a little bit more background onto the canvas

    Tell me some of your GIMP techniques sticker girl

    Took me 2.5 hrs to blow up a scanned copy of something. Many factors in play, but the worst one was how I took too long to realise that scaling the image is different from scaling the layer (I wanted to do the latter).

      Ok so like

      it largely depends on whether or not you want to use them as large sticker (256, 512 pixels) or small emojis (64px), or both 💀 (which is how i make them, for matrix chats)

      I found that:

      1. They’re better when they have a consistent art style (all by the same artist or by artists that imitate their style (like vanripper the creator of helltaker, and girlie that is above))
      2. Try to get as close to the face as possible, what you want is expression, fuck the hair, fuck the hands, just raw emotion.

      The hardest part really isn’t GIMP, it’s finding the source images, after that it’s a breeze! You might wanna setup GIMP shortcuts for Crop To Content and Flip Image Horizontally (because people’s avatars render from left to right, so you want the sticker to face to the right, the ones above are a terrible example, cuz it looks like she’s explaining this to a wall.)

      As for GIMP logistics, Just use what you like, all of these are just cropping and re-scaling.If you wanna cut out images really fast just use https://briaai-bria-rmbg-2-0.hf.space/. Hell you can get so good at it, you start doing art forgery, and editing the art to make it smile, frown, or blush.

      I could go into more detail~
