This week’s
Moo Mania challenge was "Steampunk."
This is my second attempt to duplicate digitally SanDee1899's Steampunk Patina background shown in this
tutorial. This result is closer to what I wanted.
Within GIMP, I used two versions of the machine image. One was the stamp version of it (only the black) and one was the complete image. I used the
Selection Bevel script with all of the default settings, except I changed the Bevel Width to 5. I applied that script to both layers.
I left the stamp layer visible, but made the complete image layer invisible. I added the secondary green patina color layer between the stamp and the complete image bevel layer. I added the primary green patina color layer below that. I added the secondary copper color layers below that. The bottom layer was the primary copper color layer.
On all but the primary copper color layer, I applied the color using the GIMP Sponge 01 brush. After that, I applied a Gaussian Blur Filter with a radius of 2 to the primary green patina color layer, then applied an HSV Noise Filter to all of the color layers.
