Looks like our first topic in the Creative forum is non-fakie art. (Which is allowed, like at the Arena, but please have NPA [non-pony art] or NFA [non-fakie art] in the thread title.)Last night, I downloaded GIMP. If you don't already know, GIMP is a really sweet graphics program that is completely free. It's been compared to Adobe Photoshop, which gives you some idea of how good it is. Instead of reading the usermanual, I just dived in and started hitting buttons to see what they did. I discovered some interesting effects, so I decided to try them out. I hopped over to MS Paint (the only graphics program I'm used to using, lawl) and sketched up this critter using the curvey line tool. Then I moved it to GIMP, where I colored it. I think it came out pretty good considering I had very little idea what I was doing. I know one thing though...I NEED a graphics tablet. Need it. Gah. Drawing with the slightly glitchy touchpad on my laptop (the one in place of a mouse) was difficult and time consuming. All in all, though, the drawing only took me a couple hours. Alright, enough talking. Onto the pic... What do you think? :3

Cool. XD I doodled up something that looks similar to that a few weeks back in my college notes, maybe I'll scan it in when I have a chance.
