I seperated the “lines” (ascii) from the backround, i did this by duplicating the image and turning one of the layers into an (alpha/erase) layer, merged it, then set it to be just slightly larger than the untouched layer. Added bloom to it and grain, duplicated it once more to do the method before, merged it again, then i had a mask set to only capture the hue, and erased the grain so that it looks “fuzzy.”
then i layered it upon 6 other layers with a gradual transparency fall off, merged them with a bunch of distortion effects to get the “stitched together” effect, and i completely replaced the backround colour with an image to give it texture. My Gimp is amazing! I love my gimp <3
That’s a cool effect, how did you do that?
