For a while I thought this was a guy with a bad haircut who had random robot parts on him.




Things like this toughen my decision to become a graphic designer.

I'm trying to use GIMP as much as possible so I can get the hang of it, I want to move away from Paint.net.

I didn't really do anything to do this, I just found a city picture and put shrooms on the top, then cropped and moved it onto wood.
It does make a good background though

I tried to make it looked messed up at the bottom, but it looks a bit worse now with it.

I might make a community project out of this.
Too bad summers almost over :c

The fact that Wacom and Gimp don't get along well annoys me to no end. Sometimes I can use my tablet to its full potential, and sometimes it's barely usable. I updated my drivers yesterday and it worked great, but now Gimp won't even recognize there's anything connected. I'm trying to sketch a new version of a character I made years ago, but I can't do it like this.

Edit: Hell yes, I think I figured it out. Apparently you have to have the pen active on the tablet while Gimp is starting. I should have my sketch up in a few minutes.

Cat and mouse situation D:



zip ties, motherforgeter!

but seriously i need opinions



These 2 sketches are (modified) pieces of a character I created a few years ago on a long car ride with little more than a sketchbook and a pencil to keep me entertained. The original looked somewhat like this:



Only a lot more mean-looking. Lightning bolts shooting around and everything. I guess it was some sort of robot ghost, and I gave it some dumb generic name I'm not going to tell you (No it wasn't "roboghost"). The big pieces were black with green lines snaking around, giving the appearance it was a green thing covered in pieces of black, very flexible armor. Also it had big blocky robot arms for some reason. So the new guy is a translucent gray Jello-like mass with random robot parts jammed in it with the original green-with-black-parts pattern. So I'm going to keep developing it until I get what I want. I'm not sure if those things will be wires or what.

Throw some names for it at me and I'll probably choose one because it's hard to make a worse name than I had before without flat out naming it "starfish" or "richardsnake".

He reminds me of Ghostfreak mixed with Upgrade from that cartoon Ben 10
