At last !!! a tutorial presented by someone who is straight forward and a pleasure to listen to. Most other tutorials Ive seen, the presenter gives his life story before the tutorial starts...Thank you so much :)

[@Sam-md2cd]

You have my sub and I will 100% be taking the design course as I find your videos immensely helpful and fun, many thanks for posting all of this for free it is great.

[@FaustinaFalcon8]

first video ive seen by you and it earned an immediate sub. super clear instructions, very easy to follow, everything a tutorial should be. thanks a bunch!

[@lostandthrown3137]

Watching Nick's tutorials is my ninja way😔😔🎉🎉

[@GeorgeNoiseless]

Thank you very much for these tutorials Nick. Having a quick, practical exercise that gives you an immediate and impressive result is a great learning booster and motivator.

[@Daijyobanai]

Nick, you are the man! Thanks for another great, short, tutorial!

[@amalsrivastava6853]

No offense to nick. I have seen a few videos and he is a great teacher. If you only come here for specific effects thats great however following these tutorials will never let you do your thing. Watch them but not to book if you wish to learn

[@marcossaraiva4245]

Nick your tutorials rock! great work!

[@reginaldobatista3224]

I from Brazil, you are the best! Thank you.

[@funkyfreshanalog3043]

excellent as always

[@arvinazimifard1040]

Short, well explained, great Bro. Love your Work

[@FloridaSalon]

Thank you. I learned a lot.

[@Pasi80]

So Great !!

[@hollysrarechromojourney3882]

Sooo....it seems like there might be a bug in the newest version of Gimp - 2.10.10. When I put the advised settings in for the radial motion blur it throws a fatal error and closes the program. The new version is different in that the filters have separate selections for linear, circular (radial), and zoom blur, so I made a few assumptions, but I'm still a relative newbie, so can you see a work-around, or is it a real bug?

[@kary99]

Congratulations, I have only one question, can I do this effect with inkscape ?

[@farestp5441]

amazing... mindblowing tutorial

[@davidflannery887]

Thanks for creating these videos. I will add this to my list for backgrounds and use it in the future. Dave

[@alpacino4857]

I still come back for lessons LOL. Forgotten how to do this so have to come back for refresh course.

[@alexmomeyer9]

Excellent. I'm thinking this approach could be used to create a nice gold or bronze background.

[@1974Kyle]

Hi, I don't seem to have motion blur, just circular motion blur but the options don't appear like yours do? Do I need to do something else?

[@1974Kyle]

Also, my spikes for want t of a better word, seem more distinct and not as opaque/blended into background?

[@runmycode4940]

AWESOME

[@Jats2501]

Thanks, easy tutorial and thanks for sharing.

[@RogueRen]

How would this be done for a horizontal piece (i.e. like a metal sheet or bar)?

[@samjp9176]

Fantastic video, as always, thank you so much for sharing :)

[@frankrey7676]

it does not look like motion blur is still a thing in 1.3.2. Is there another way to accomplish this?

[@jesuschristiscomingrepentb3224]

This looks so awesome, bro! :D

[@espica]

Awesome, thanks a lot man. Subscribed

[@fhaguila]

Thanks so much for your videos, Nick! I love how you explain everything. But is there a way to make this in Inkscape?

[@LogosByNick]

No unfortunately this cannot be done with Inkscape. You need a raster graphics editor for this.

[@surinfarmwest6645]

Nick, thank you very much, I can see a lot of variations coming from this :-) West

[@hriday684]

I managed to make it linear instead of radial - in other words, I made it go in one direction. All I did was use a linear motion blur instead of a circular one, and I changed the gradient to "Crown molding".

[@hridyaagrawal4024]

How to get motion blur in 2.20.14

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

blend tool = gradient tool now in 2.10.28 11/11/2021 Mine looks similar but crapy. Oh well have to try it again a few times. Thank You Nick!

[@kolo5847]

Can this b done in inkscape?

[@COLINDUSTRIAHAYESWELDING]

THE BEST

[@MGSVxBreakpoint]

I‘d be tempted to just use a google image for a steel texture. B this is a great way to DIY for that original feeling. Let there be steel!

[@LogosByNick]

I would be careful grabbing images off of Google. It's mostly copyrighted material, and if you get caught using something from a stock photo site they will come after you with lawyers. I recommend using a site like Pixabay or Wikimedia Commons.

[@charlesnorman4676]

i chime in with nick

[@MGSVxBreakpoint]

Thanks Nick. I‘ll remember that. And thanks again for all your GIMP tutorials.

[@imtheseventh]

Огонь. сталь как настоящая!

[@M4D3ebf]

You... you... you are THE guy! Thank you. How much it costs to have a logo?

[@LogosByNick]

Thank you! It's based on how much work will be required. You can request pricing info here: logosbynick.com/logo-design-brief/

[@davidsullivan1254]

It was like watching magic being conjured before my eyes

[@MariaLuisa-tz1hz]

how can I make a drop shadow like the one in the thumbnail?

[@ТомСинда]

Could you make a video about how to make a virgin map of a country (, continent, etc.) and then color it ? Would be so useful

[@RENDERFINITY]

Awesome Video Brother!! Please Make Video On Beauty Skin Retouching On GIMP.

[@bhgemini]

Nick. I just looked through your videos, and wondered what type of computer you use, specs wise?

[@nielsroetert]

Check out his website, it's all documented very well. logosbynick.com/look-new-design-setup/ A shame he left Linux behind, but the video's are still brilliant.

[@ZeroTea609]

Is this possible in Inkscape?

[@eterno1610]

sweet, thanks! :)

[@cursed3847]

Lovee your video

[@Apostle92627]

I'm unable to lighten the black at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXizlKWemrmeq6c without making the gray too light. I move the top one to 67 like you do.

[@keesufairies9625]

OK i am back to gimp, inkscape gave me headache. GIMP is user friendly and easy to use, inkscape, oh my its sooo hard. Ai will have to wait till i get a grip on inkscape

[@alpacino4857]

good trick but for the tutorial, you moved too fast and always circle the mouse making it difficult to focus where you gonna click next. Should slow down abit.

[@Rawenhappy]

This is so ironic
