Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.

The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.

The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again)
The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:

With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:

The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.

Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.

You KNOW it's the way she gets out of trouble! I have evidence!! ... almost.
I should get that comic up and running again, it proves my point!

You know, when she open those eyes, they are all shiny, like Puss's in the Shrek movies... /whisper

Excellent work there! Makes me almost want to throw some of my own work on AG... Not too sure about that yet. (if you're really interested... clicky.

In any case, keep surprising us with your work!

You have a rather nice style. I think you should.

Thanks, I'll try.

Wow, that picture is awesome, how do you paint something and post it? I'm using Paint and it doesn't work.

Cenere is using Photoshop Elements and a graphics tablet now... You should download GIMP and play around with it, Kipdon.

And that drawing of 'Kuma and Kai is cuteness, Cen.

Hi Kip. I have some abilities with paint, and the tricks are not that har to learn, actually. Even without a tablet. It just takes longer to get the result.

I need to draw more of the Kai and 'Kuma stuff, because Akuma like Kai, and the kid is safe with him.
