I try to use a bit more than my standard sharpen and blur filters, but it's not always useful. The prompt is just a good excuse :)
Not finding textures I know I have hasn't happened to me yet - mostly because I never know anyway :D
I'm still keeping it small :D
The urge is there, but the muse not yet. I probably need to make more without deadlines... I can always use my DailyPrompt thing and create a table for me (I just need to remember to create a copy or all those prompts will be waiting for about 3 weeks until they have a chance of showing up here :D)
