andreasngnome-games might need some new graphics12:08
PingunZandreasn, I was actually more asking what programs / guides / .. to use. I want to learn using free software instead of photoshop.12:10
andreasnPingunZ: ah, I see12:10
PingunZLearn making gtk themes and metacity's :)12:10
PingunZBah, I'm still young so I have got plenty of time -_-12:10
andreasnPingunZ: have you given Inkscape a try?12:10
PingunZNot really12:11
andreasnyou should try it out, it's really12:11
andreasnnice12:11
PingunZAnd what about XaraLX ?12:11
andreasnI haven't tried it, but the developers seems like nice guys12:13
PingunZSo I start using inkscape and xaraLX, what is next :)12:14
PingunZI want to be able to make art like you guys do :)12:14
andreasnread some tutorials or create something nice you feel is needed12:15
andreasnlike new stuff for gnome-games (or whatever you pick)12:15
andreasnand ask someone for advice when you feel you need help12:16
andreasnand then just draw, draw, draw12:16
andreasn:)12:16
PingunZOk, so once I'm able to use these programs, I learn making metacity/gtk themes ?12:16
andreasnno, that is good for doing mockups and graphics12:17
andreasnI think there are some good tutorials on how to do metacity themes somewhere12:18
PingunZdont search the link now12:18
andreasnhttp://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html12:18
PingunZI'll ask them once I'm a inkscape-xaralx-gimp master :)12:18
andreasnyou can also visit #gnome-art, there are some people who done a metacity-theme or two in their days in there12:19
PingunZok12:20
PingunZwell, I'm going for a nap. bye all12:20

PingunZHmm, what should I learn first ? Inkscape, Gimp or XaraLX ?10:50
MadpilotInkscape10:51
PingunZOk :)10:51
Madpilotthen Gimp, which frankly has an awful UI.10:52
MadpilotInkscape's UI rocks10:52
PingunZI'll make a scalable Tux then :)10:52
PingunZI'm used to photoshop10:52
PingunZBut I want to use free software :)10:52
MadpilotVery cool Inkscape textbook online: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/10:52
MadpilotAlso, Iinkscape's built-in help & tutorials are first-rate10:53
PingunZHow long does it take to learn inkscaping if you know your way around in photoshop ?10:53
kwwii_inkscape is pure vector, photoshop is a bitmap program10:53
kwwii_so it might take a while10:53
Madpilotnot long, it's actually a much simpler program, but you can do stuff easily in it that's very hard/impossible in PS or GIMP10:53
PingunZA while : a week, a month, a year ?10:53
kwwii_but if you are used to adobe illustrator, it isn't too hard to change10:54
PingunZOnly photoshop ..10:54
PingunZI learned a LOT of photoshop by following crystalxp.net 's howto for making a Tux.10:55
MadpilotPingunZ, there's a very good inkscape-users mailing list10:56
PingunZMadpilot: I get enough mail IMO :)10:56
Madpilotheh, I know the feeling.10:56
PingunZGnome-art and Ubuntu-art is kinda enough for me.10:57
Madpilotinkscape-users isn't very busy, and all the inkscape devs post there too, which is nice10:57
PingunZWell I going to unsubcribe gnome-art anyway when their splash is done.10:57
PingunZinkscape is a wierd program.11:06
Madpilotyes, but in a good way. :)11:06

lapociao PingunZ, Madpilot11:07
MadpilotPingunZ, ya, go thru the tutorial exercises in that tavmjong.free.fr link I gave you, they helped me a lot to get a good grasp on what Inkscape is capable of11:08
PingunZMadpilot: I'm doing that now.11:11
PingunZThe problem is that it is a HUGE book :)11:11
PingunZBut its worth it.11:12
Madpilotskip right to the example/tutorial section, and refer back to the rest of the thing as needed11:17
