Created a GIH brush and used it to create the attached seemless texture (hint; add some jitter).

Brush:

Beautiful texture file.

Unzipped and put the doubloons.gih file in my brushes and it would not show up in there. Refreshed the brushes several times, closed & re-opened gimp still no show.

Finally I removed the doubloons.gih file from my brushes and put it on my desktop and opened it with gimp. Re-saved it from gimp, put it in my brushes folder and it works. Very nice brush.

I don't have a clue as to why I couldn't get it to show up in brushes from gimp until I re-saved it.

They'll be great for pirate images.

That is strange Oregonian. Anyway, glad you got it to work. Did embed a slight dropshadow to give the doublooms depth so hope that doesn't bother any folk. Also, my motivation for creating this brush was to do a Pot of Gold thing for Saint Patricks Day, but I'm not that motivated now (I get that way sometimes) so maybe someone else might do that.

Had to shrink them down to 0.07 for this tiny image. I brightened the top layer just a little.

Greetin's 'n a tip 'o the hat to ye!

I always knew Leprechauns were tiny (and so should their pot of gold be; lol). Thanks Oregonian.

I just remembered that I have a gold coin brush. They are gold replicas of real coins. I made the brush and designated it to be incremental so that each coin was repeated once for every 8 coins brushed.

Oregonian ...you are too dangerous

I saw yours Doubloons and the obsession.started... I'm obsessed in forging..oopss ....i mean in collecting golden doubloons from everywhere

..i have some problem to categorize, there is even 1 with a weird penguin symbol (seems from a country called Unix ) another with a weird inscription (what could mean "In Hemp We Trust "?... there is a sort of leaf carved below the inscription ..it seems as a symbol but i can't imagine of what) ..a lot more of other from country i failed to find on my Earth Map ( Fairyland, Mu, Hyperborea, Atlantide, Narnia,Matrix ...)

Any suggestion on how to smuggle ..oopss i mean to find some collectors that may be interested ?

Are all certificated to be in pure 24K Gold ( there is note on the certificate adding a further guarantee ...are even all guaranteed as "purely Virtual"..in case some is not totally virtual will be a huge refund )

no time to upload, there are still popping out

It's also lylejk's fault. He posted the first doubloons up there.

I love pretty gold coins and may get caught up in your obsession. Do you have a copy of that one with the penguin and hemp inscription you could put in here so I could get them? Hemp = marijuana (cannabis) btw.

Do you mean that plant used for make the veils of the boats ?
Now that you told me i remember to have seen a old movie from US Government called "Hemp for the Victory" inviting all farmers and all true patriots to cultivate that plant to support the glory of the Union .
It is very convincing i suppose in your country all true patriots proudly follow that advice

Ahh....is still around http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 481845054#

Oopss i see that is needed a license but is very cheap



anyway i suppose will be very easy to get it...correct?

But i don't want risk a OT, too obsessed with Doubloons

Cool film! Fun to watch.

4/20 is coming up. Some states in the US still won't legalize marijuana for medical purposes and I'd love to have that coin image. 4/20 is the date when people campaign to get medical marijuana legalized in their state.

It is legal for medical purposes in my home state (Oregon).

i will upload something later

Cool coins Oregonian. w.r.t. Marijuana, I'm Libertarian with that. If you are going to legalize one drug (alcohol), you really need to legalize them all imo. If your inhibriated state results in injury or death in another, then the book needs to be thrown out at you (including murder charges, not accidental death for that case; death penalty applies). Just my opinion.

I agree. Keep the money out of the hands of drug lords. Darwin will take care of those who abuse drugs.

Here a Unix 10 Dollars coin

There are no other as this, the first matrix had a error, so was used only once
It is unique so its value on the market is astronomical





PS saw the error ? United States of America instead then " Unix States of America"..what a typo

original size on flickr

What a cool coin! Thanks PhotoComix!!! Nabbed it.

feel free to use it..maybe can become a nice brush

lol; like the coin too PC. Maybe one day, someone will create a photo to reality machine that can turn these images into the real thing (but then Gold would be worth as much; lol).

That would be something cool to invent. Have it make replicas but use gold-colored aluminum or plastic so they wouldn't be mistaken for gold ones.

Bumping to fix database date stamp.
