and yes! i did have a burn today! on a large tube slide, it was metal and i went down it too fast so i decided that going sideways down it would slow me down while spreading my hands. i didnt and i burnt my hand trying to stop. so i rubbed sun tan lotion in it, because i thought that sun tan lotion would make it better because of the LOTION bit. but it went blue. because it was tesco baby sun tan lotion for my mates bald head. anyway, i didnt see barnaby bear.

my neck hurt after i got it burned ok?
the teacher put a bandage on it, then used that white masking tape to hold it there. i looked like a vicar. and i went white water rafting the next day, and i couldnt go in the water, but mr milton fell in the water, and we threw apples at french people.

# nah
what you'd get is Tesco Value Poo Shutes in amongst all the pig bum holes, with them hoping you'll assume it's pig.

# Pfft!
Threadjack: In GIMP, is it possible to make an layer's opacity a gradient? E.g. make a layer opaque at the top of the image, grading to transparent at the bottom. If you don't know, but do know there's a way to do it in Photoshop, please tell me; I might be able to map the steps into GIMP.

EDIT: I think I can fudge it with the eraser tool with fadeout, but please tell me if you know of a more elegant way.

# In photoshop I would do it in one of the following three ways:
Lazy way 1: drag a selection box over half the layer, feather it by some large amount, press delete.
Lazy way 2: make a layer with a gradient between a colour and transparent, click on it while holding control (which selects all the pixels depending how transparent they are) and select the layer I want to affect and press delete.
Official way: create a layer mask. This sits alongside the layer and makes it transparent or opaque according to the darkness/lightness of the pixels in the mask.

By the way I like your demons, they are good.

# I'm sure it can be done, but I just tried and I can't find a good/easy way to do it

# It can be done in gimp using eraser
set eraser to fade out (length as height of layer)
start at top and erase down in a straight line
repeat side by side but dont miss any bits or go over an adjacent erase

hope this makes sense

# I did this in the end,
but I made a custom long thin brush so I could do it in one sweep instead of doing it loads with a normal brush. Ta.
