I like these brushes a lot. They can be cut down to 20 rather than the original 154, since 2.4 includes brush scale adjustment, and I have mentioned this to iceytina at the last of your links.

I would like to take this opportunity to plug my particular contribution to 2.4, the palette navigation actions (allowing you to move through the active palette, changing FG color to match; try pressing '9' or '0'. Requires having the palette editor open somewhere.)

Hey folks!!

I recently got in contact with a very talented Gimp brush artist on deviantart.com; she's made a number of brushes that seem to be the sort that would be generally useful in a default Gimp install. She told me she is willing to license them under the GPL (they are currently Creative Commons BY-NC-ND) if they would be considered for inclusion into the Gimp. Links to the brushes are here:

If these seems like they'd be valuable to include, I can get you in touch with her.

Thanks for listening! ~m

p.s. BTW, AWESOME work on 2.4 so far, I've been using RC 1 for a while now and I have to say it feels a lot more comfortable to use - it's gotten me really excited about the Gimp all over again. :)

Let's include these brushes (or rather only a few sizes because GIMP can now scale brushes nicely) for 2.6 then. We are all busy preparing the 2.4 release and it is really a little too late for such a change now.

Also, 2.6 will (finally, hopefully, definitely, ...) have categories so it will be easier to manage more brushes, patterns etc.

Fair enough :) When things have settled down after 2.4's release let's take this back up then. Thanks!

I would suggest to make it an optional package.

Good idea. better idea for post 2.4 metinks, would be a simple brush manager. So you can enable brushes, individually and as sets.
