The Art of Wesnoth

Sent to you by Alakazam via Google Reader:

It's been a few years since the Free software, Turn based strategy game: The Battle for Wesnoth, made it's humble beginnings. Ever since then, little by little, not only has the code and game play been improving but the artwork has made huge leaps in quality.

So take a dive in the world of Wesnoth and see for yourself some of the best pieces of original/traditional art the Free software world has produced.

Photoshop Replacement for Linux Is Dressed to Impress

via Wired: Top Stories by Compiler on 1/9/08
Users of the Linux operating system have long lamented the absence of Adobe Photoshop on their platform. An application called Pixel fills in the gap nicely, and even stands up nicely to the free image-editing favorite, GIMP.

openclipart thumbnail preview

It seems that some contributions on openclipart don't have preview on the clipart page ; and that is unfortunate since visitor have to click the svg file to have a pick at the picture



the solution :
Uploading a .png file first is enough to generate the clipart's preview.
Then upload the svg file afterward.

* Update *

Now for a more global preview on the openclipart website (that will impact the search page, user page etc ...) -- There's a another way - that involves a greasemonkey's script -- check this post for more details.

Mark Shuttleworth: "...A lot of my personal interest in free software is motivated by the idea that we can be more efficient if we collaborate better. If we want free software to be the norm for personal computing software, then we have to show, among other things, that the open, free software approach taps into the global talent pool in a healthier, more dynamic way than the old proprietary approach to building software does..."

Thanks in part to YouTube, author and illustrator Bob Staake gives the world an inside look at how he goes about creating his one-of-a-kind illustrations. Believe it or not, Bob creates all of his digital work in Adobe Photoshop 3.0… with a mouse… all on one layer!
After you pick yourself up off the floor, watch the video above to see for yourself and when you’re done, visit PixFix to see the rest. And when you’re done with the videos, why not go back and read our 2006 interview with Bob here.
