Gimp brushes! Will take a look at them later. Gimp's my image manip tool of choice.

Deviant Art were okay, when I first joined several years ago (I'm just a spectator there), but last time I checked in, which was last month, they seem to have been taken over and are now heavily marketing driven. I have serious concerns about the direction in which they're heading but haven't taken the time out to look into what's happening. I do know a lot of people have had issues of the lj boldthrough fiasco kind.
