Right, you’re broke, I get it. Fine. I’ll eliminate that excuse as well.

Disclaimy shit: I ain’t GIMP support. GIMP isn’t Photoshop, but it’s not MS Paint either. You may need to familiarize yourself a bit with it in general if you’ve never ever tried anything like this before. Google up a few intro GIMP tutorials if you need to get a solid feel for it.

You’ll also need to know how and where to install bushes and plug-ins. I’m sorry, but GIMP didn’t cut the mustard out of the box. Again, Google is your friend. Learning how to deal with crap like that is a hallmark of open source software. If you get too fed up with it, remember: Photoshop, ten bucks a month.

What You Need

GIMP: (Surprise!) Open source image manipulation program. It’s free.

GIMP BrushBox v2: (Optional-ish) Brushes. A solid set of free brushes that work well for painting cum and are used in the tutorial example. Painting jizz with a standard round brush is… disappointing. Like usual on DeviantArt, the subtly-colored download link is on the right column, usually between an ad and a “More from..” section.

GIMP Layer Effects: Plug-In. Various places on the Internet will describe this as adding “Photoshop-like” layer effects to GIMP. This is bullshit, but you’ll use the Drop Shadow effect anyway.

Glass or Bevel: Plug-In. This adds something closer to the required Photoshop hi-gloss bevel effect. Please pay attention to the following statement: SAVE THE FILE WITHOUT THE .TXT EXTENSION. It should look like this in your plug-in folder: “glass_or_bevel_v1.03.py”. (Without the quotes.) If you’ve left .txt, it won’t work. If your Windows Explorer is not set to show filename extensions, it may be hard to to change it until so enabled (or just save the file again and edit the name correctly before hitting save.)

A Metric Fuckton of Patience: Sadly there’s nowhere to download this from currently.

GIMP Tutorial

Presented in order. Tumblr re-naming means that you should probably prep to tap out some relevant numerals of your own when you save them.
