[quote name="kaputnik" post="80335" timestamp="1149861338"] I looked through a whole bunch of professional sites that I normally utilize for images, royalty free, and I realized how difficult your search actually must have been. I've been using paid for and free images for various uses, since I'm in media, do a whole bunch of images searches as a normal part of my work, I was really surprized at the low number of free to use, quality images for splat. (I also looked through paint, drop, splash, smear etc...). What I really would suggest you do is create the splat yourself. The freeware that I use for image manupulation is called GIMP and you can get it [url="http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/"]from here (for Windows)[/url]. What you do is create a sort of random area that looks like your version of a splat and then fill it with some colour. Next, to give it some depth, you need to right click and then click on a distortion option. Experement a bit till you get what you're happy with. After that you're better off to making a copy of the layer you were working on and then making an emboss distortion of the lower layer; and , making the upper layer slightly transparent. This will give the image a very 3D look. Finally save in the format of your choice (GIMP supports a great many formats). If you need help on this, PM me.

Topic Summary

Well yordan, thanks! I actually though, used another one that my friend gave me. It fit in nicely. But please do not get offended that I did not use your 'splat' picture. I have kept it aside safely, and may use it for future redesigns of my blog. I tend to do that, and I am sure, I will be putting in more splats around the design, and I will use that.

Here is the link for my blog: http://www.blogcharm.com/splat
You can see where I used it - it is at the top-left of the pane.

Again, thanks to all of you for your support.

Why not make my own "splat!" and sell it to some band?

I can sell you my splat!
(yes, it was fre for Vyoma, however now I am well-known as splat-designers, and next users will have to licence for them!)

Haha! This whole discussion about "splat"!

This gave me an idea for my own graphic expedition: I design flyers for bands.

Why not make my own "splat!" and sell it to some band?
Thanks, guys.

So, Vyoma, don't you like the nice splat I designed especially for you ?
The black one on the white background ?
Yordan

Wow, wow, wow! Thanks Yordan. I picked up the black and white one, and I am keeping it aside. Hopefully, I can use that as I design a template for my blog. Sorry for not replying earlier. My work had gone a bit hetic and I could not find time to log on.

I seem to find it near impossible to find relevant images to what I am looking for at the time that are actually royalty-free. I would be very interested to know what the best websites are for picking up such images or if anyone has any tips and techniques to share in aid of this search. Thanks in advance.

I've learned now, what "splat" is

anyway, why don't you just use some kind of ink and 'splat' it on paper

then wait until it's dry, run it into scanner or shot it with digital camera, little editing in photoshop or gimp, and voila! you have your own splat then...

Or maybe you prefer that one, more black image on white background ? If you look carefully you will see it very similar to the previous one.

(double-click on the thumbnail if you want to download the full size image)
Still Royalty Free, it's my own graphic art and if you want it I offer it.
Regards
Yordan

What about that one ? Is it enough black, anough 3D, and anough uniform background ? At least it's Royalty free !

I like the moire effect, due to the coffee/water separation during the impact.

Yordan
