Burger: shrinked ellipse selection with gradient for the bread part.
Hot Dog: the reverse of burger to paint inside the bread part.
Cucumber (sliced): used boarder selection (1pxl) for the outer ring of the slices.
Fries: inverted background selection to paint the fragrant steam coming off the potatoes.
Darn it, now I’m hungry!

New set of special powers:
- mushroom boost (border tool with grow)
- night vision (grow tool)
- blessing (border+growth to make the body stand slightly more out from the background gradient)
- sonic fish attack (shrink with pattern fill of warning tape gradient and then recoloring)

This was done with the shrink selection. Just a plain target.
This sword glow was done with the grow selection. Also border selection for border.
This chest had the border selection for the frame around it.
This was made by using border selection and grow selection. It’s a hand with an aura of evil magic around it. I learned from this that hands are difficult lol.

This “sphere” started off as a circle and I used the shrink selection to create smaller concentric circles and then shifted them upwards and to the left to create a 3D effect:
I then drew a sword without any black outline:
I then used the grow tool on a fuzzy selection of the sword and filled it in with black using the sword as a mask to create a border:
I then fuzzy selected the grey part (the blade) of the sword and used the border selection modifier to change the selection. I then filled a semi-transparent colour into that border and deleted a little bit by the hilt to create the effect of a glowing edge for the blade:
Both effects together:

Used the shrink tool to make the smaller circles of the…chakram? Perhaps it would have made a better steering wheel for a ship if it had handles.
Used the grow tool to make fiery colors expand outward.
User the border tool to create a blue edge to the spots (maybe bacteria of some kind).
Used the shrink tool to fill in the blue, and the border tool to enhance the black edges. Although perhaps a different technique would have been more effective…

Used shrink selection to make the glass of the helmet
Border
Grow for generating border. Normal border wouldn’t work due to single pixel wide parts
Regular selection + movement to create shadow

Ended up using grow to create a gradient around the sword that I liked the look of!
This one didn’t turn out quite how I liked. I used shrink to try and make a shadow of the weapon. Didn’t turn out how I liked but I got the concept at least!
Used border to create an effect outside and inside the pyramid.
This one I was most happy with, ended up using grow again to make the shadow and this turned out much better!
