So you want to convert pictures of yourself to look like this cover? You’re going to want to turn each of the other pictures into monochrome pngs with transparency. You can do that by using the threshold tool. Then you’d change the color of each picture to your desired color. Then you’d paste them onto your background as layers and flatten the image when complete.

owh okay,,, i thought i need to cut the face with path tool first, and then draw the outline, after that change the color..

ill try your advice. thanks :)

Nah, path tool would be a pain in the butt to use for this. I’d use a site like remove.bg to remove the background and then use the threshold tool in gimp to convert it. Much easier.
