The rules of the game.
One person posts an image and others can GIMP it in a funny or clever way. (Other image editors are allowed.) The end result is not about the quality of your work but about the effect. When a handful of people have entered their result, a poll is opened and a winner announced. The winner may pick the next photo or image.
Anything is allowed. Use of other images etc., as long as you edit the original image and have fun.

Thank you to Rod for submitting the next picture for us.

I'd like to thank the members of the academy... wait, wrong place. I really didn't even consider being an active participant, the idea just came to me and I made the entry in all of 10 minutes. It surprised me that I even got one vote, let alone 3 or 4. I had no image for the next game in mind. From the beginning I thought Rod's was better than mine so unless it's a grievous offense I'd like to have Rod submit the next image.

Congrats Gms9810!
I think your entry was superb!

A Penguin Dreams is also an excellent title for your piece.

You deserved to win in my honest opinion.Mainly i just love looking at all the submissions from everyone here.

But if you really want me to pick i will.I do not mind at all, and would consider it an honor.

As far as "One Liners" go that will be hard to beat! Good thinking Ofnuts!

The paint brush in "Hue" or "Color" mode works well.

do you have to select the eye first

Only if you want to protect against bleeds. You can of course use select+bucket-fill instead of a careful brush.

Very cool animation, akky. I used the paths tool to select just the colored part of the eyes, then used Colorize without changing anything to make them blue.
