[Award Winner] Tapered Rivers in GIMP

[StillnessTolls]

Hey RobA, I'm a little confused about using the script. In your tut you say to use the pen tool, do you mean the pathing tool? I don't think I'm using it properly because my path doesn't do anything after I switch to the paintbrush tool. (I just started using gimp today so it's been a little confusing)

Edit: Ah I just read through the last page, sad to see this doesn't work so well anymore. I'll try to figure out the ink tool, hopefully it will create a similar tapering effect.

As a followup- I do all my rivers with a pressure sensitive tablet using size dynamics and smoothing with the gimp ink tool. If I only had a mouse, I would use Inkscape with path effects to get a tapered stroke.
